Howdy folk. I just started playing ArmA 3 again today -5/14/16- after taking a few months off. I noticed when I attempted to fly an aircraft that depressing my joystick trigger to fire my weapons, would constantly open the interaction menu. I’m using my trusty old Saitek Cyborg Evo, and I have never experienced this problem before. In the past I had my trigger bound to Fire to shoot obviously. Use Selected Action, so I could use the context menu without having to take my hands off the stick. And Rope interaction, so I could do lift operations –again- without having to remove my hands from the joystick. In the past, having multiple actions bound to the same control, was not an issue, and they had never behaved in this manner. I had used this setup in ArmA 2, without issue, and until now, in ArmA 3. I was able to go back and play A2 today, with the same controls and use aircraft as I had in the past. So the problem seems isolated to A3. Currently, I can only fire my weapons in an aircraft or vehicle, or on foot if Fire, is the only action bound to my joystick trigger. Does anyone know if somebody went and “improved” something, which is causing hardware incompatibility? Or perhaps it’s simply an issue of aging hardware. I’m lost here so any input would be appreciated.

Señor Crash, it would appear that you are one of the people working on adding more toys to Arma 3's woefully under-stocked toybox. Out of curiosity, do you plan on working on the An-2 or any other STOL aircraft?

So I've been looking around, but haven't been able to find any ArmA 3 ports or add-ons for the Antonov An-2. Chances are I haven't been looking hard enough, or in the right places. If by some chance nobody is working on putting this incredible aircraft into ArmA 3, This Barnstormer would truly appreciate it if somebody would do so. And if somebody is already doing so, or has done so, I would -once again- appreciate if somebody would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
