Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes, happens 100% of the time.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
Pressing the keybind does nothing at all, flipping the switch in the cockpit very briefly illuminates the light but it goes back off immediately. Makes any jump mission with the Caravan impossible. I have no mods, using the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo throttles.

• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• OP and others have said it perfectly. No buttons work, tried multiple, no red or green light activating before or while on jump run. Mission with problem is “Skydiving above St. Jerome” for me, also in the Caravan 208

Same bug for me, whatever location I choose, even starting at a ramp in an airport and not in career mode.
P.s.: the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant seems the problem: unplugging it makes the switch work, plug it back and the switch defaults to center.
