Helicopter takes off without applying throttle

[Wambo333 11]

This is a bug that occurrs for me since the last big Arma update.

My helicopters take off just a bit without me applying any throttle.

(you can ignore the sideways movement, just the one upwards matters)

It doesn't matter if I use a joystick or keyboard.

Once I press the throttle key (to start the engine) the helicopter lifts off once it reaches high RPM.

Even if I start the engine with the scroll menu and don't press any key at all, the helicopter still lifts by itself.

The only way to stay on the ground with a runnig rotor is to keep pressing the decelleration key all the time, which is very annoying of course

Flight model: Standard

Mods active: None

Joystick/gamepad: All disconnected for testing

Helicopters: All affected

Online/Offline/Editor: All affected

I've played Arma 3 for 700h and I'm an advanced pilot, I didn't change any files or settings before this bug occurred.

I've tried almost every thing to fix this (verifying game cache, reset controls, online/offline, different input devices) but nothing gets rid of this little bug.

I hope you can help me

Sorry, it should be good now.

yeah, this is a little problem. For me the helicopter will not recognize my analog throttle until I move it.

also I really wish mouse or keyboard movement in the karts would work better by not being as aggressive or sluggish causing me to run into walls.

So it's a problem with the game, not just for me?

Before the last larger patch there was no problem for me like this.

So let's hope they'll fix this. Is there a way to send this to the developers or are they reading the forums anyway?

Yes, I was wandering if it's game thing and obviously it is.

I get used to just press the key and get down again, but they should probably fix it.

Totally agree with you.

Same here, i tought it has something to do with my settings.  no controllers at all connected.
