Cannon Effects on SU P-38

Is there any way to stop the guns from firing when the lights are on? I'm doing some night flights with it and the guns start as soon as I turn on the cockpit lights.
 
I don´t remember to see this situation here falcon409. But, i didn´t fly with it recently.
I´ll start a flight with it tonight to see what´s going on.

By the time, just check your key assigments in FS. Maybe, it´s triggering the cannon with a key you use for something else.
 
Thanks. There are no light switches that I can see, so lights are activated with the "L" key,which apparently is how the Cannon effects are also initiated, lol.
 
I don't have the SU P-38 (mine is the FSD one) but open up the aircraft.cfg file and look in the [Lights] section to see if there are any lines that refer to the cannons. If so add two forward slashes '//' to the start of the line to disable it and then save and test.

If there's nothing in the [Lights] section try looking in the [Effects] section for a cannon reference and add the slashes to that line.
 
Hello falcon409,
Did a quick test and i found this. Looking over the manual there is this info:

The lights and the guns can be switched on/off thru VC panel buttons. But if you want a quick way to turn on the lights, the "L" worked ok. It didn´t fire the guns in here.

And the button to fire the guns is the afterburn assigment key. In my case shift+f4.

Maybe you can look what is the combination key to the afterburner function mapped in your fs.
