Anyone else experiencing this? I use a wireless mouse and keyboard (it might be the culprit), but I’m running into an issue where if I need to Alt-Tab during flight to open up another app (like Chrome, Navigraph, Vatspy, etc.) sometimes my spoilers will randomly deploy, or if they are deployed on purpose they will randomly retract. Doesn’t happen all the time but I notice it most with the PMDG 737. I usually notice it the most if my mouse and keyboard are idle for a bit, then I press the Alt key to either tab out, or change cameras, and it happens. I checked all my keybinds in MSFS and there are no duplicates or issues.
Hardware includes Logitech wireless mouse & keyboard, Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus, and Thrustmaster Boeing Quadrant.
Apps that I frequently have open during flight include Volanta, Navigraph, GSX, Real Turb, Vatspy, VPilot
I don’t know if this is that problem but maybe you can look for activate (after release/in pressed time)??? Sry I don’t know now exactly description but I think you understand what I mean Simply correctly do key press mixes with other controls.
If you press either the Alt key or the Tab key, do they deploy then?
Since they both deploy, and retract that sounds like a toggle event. Search in the mappings for your keyboard for all spoiler bindings, and ensure you don’t have any of those bound on your keyboard.
The other thing to try is to create a new keyboard profile. Don’t clone from your existing one, but create a new default one, and switch to it. See if that does it or not. If it doesn’t then it is definitely something in your keyboard profile doing it.
Thanks for the help, but I figured out my issue. It turned out to be my wireless keyboard (Logitech). Whenever the keyboard would go into standby mode to save battery after being idle for a period of time, the issue would happen after waking up by pressing a key. Plugging in the keyboard directly to PC via USB resolved the issue.
