A10C auto fires gun when I pull the slightest G

Last week I accepted a DCS upgrade prompt. It was a big one as it took a long time. Now whenever a fly a mission, any mission, pulling up and doing a bank will trigger the gun. It stops once I stops pulling G. Then a few seconds later it'd also auto fire off the AIM-9s, one then a few seconds later the second one.

 

And whatever weapon I've selected to deploy, be it rockets, cluster bomb or paveway will get deselected as the A10 goes crazy and fires the gun by itself.

there is no function in dcs control to say do what when pulling G. so it can't be my control settings, which I've also checked, on trigger, weapon release button, MMCB etc.

 

also, to go to A2A mode, one needs to cycle through MMCB. But in my case now, it jumps to it from Nav or CCIP, CCRP etc. what mode i'm at it jumps straight to A2A. Then it'd auto fire the AIM-9s one at a time.

 

and it also releases whatever weapon i've selected.

Does this happen only when "pulling G" or do rather when you deflect your stick far enough? Maybe it is a hardware problem of your joystick, some broken wire that gets shorted when you move the stick too much?

A.) what stick and throttle are you using?

B.) go into controls and settings and see of anything is lighting up unexpectedly when you move the stick.

C.) a short track file of the behavior would help.

I checked USB controls. No button flashes when I pull the stick.

 

Then a friend suggested checking if flying by keyboard arrow keys do anything different. It worked as normal. So the problem is with the stick.

 

Then I noticed the ring below the palm rest was loose. I turned and tightened it. Then the auto gun trigger, aim 9 releases and jumping to A2A mode all stopped! Somehow that loose ring was causing things inside the stick to go hay wire when it's pulled. Now all problems are gone. Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.
