Please let us know in note section if you are still able to reproduce this issue in latest Developement build.

0.59.105592 dev build

problem not fixed, also, i'd like to point out:
1- AI radio chats in dev build its like in a lower audio quality
2- "sticking to surfaces" problems still affect the KA-60
3- "Sites" modules seems broken

I'm still unable to reproduce this issue in latest Steam version 105634. We tried to bind and unbind "W" in all and every option and combination and it works fine. Does the problem still occurs in the latest build?

0.58 relase version, still happening, may have ANYTHING to do with having a spanish Genius keyboard?

That's very unlikely. You're apparently the only one who have this kind of problem. You can try to unbind all keys from keyboard and then try it (in editor put helicopter in flying). There is simply no way how can key "W" work if you unbind it from all options.

I can tell you that your problem is super effective and confused us all. :)

i will try it, but it may be related to that glitch about having shift (or it was control?) with Q made the camera tilt left (TrackIR function) even with no TrackIR activated

It seems like it was because it was also binded fast forward (w) fixed now, but now i have E binded to fast foward in vehicles and i cant use it (maybe in aircraft controls? the option is hidden for aircraft controls and i cant change it) Also, i couldn't use F (another of my tickets) if its the same one in both "change weapon mode" and "Change gunner weapon".

TL;DR:

There is a problem with keys being the same in more than 1 command.

I have found the source of this problem; I have the same issue (developer build this post date) even after unbinding w from cyclic forward, shift+w still causes cyclic forward, ironically the binding causing this problem doesn't have shift+w bound for it, but only w! The problem key that I needed to unbind to resolve this problem was under the Plan Movement menu, Nose Down 'W'. It seems for some reason shift+w is causing this to fire and then make it think it needs to do a cyclic forward when your in a chopper.

To replicate the problem:

  1. Use Default Arma 3 controls.
  2. Unbind the W key from Cyclic Forward in the Helicopter Movement Keys.
  3. Fly a chopper.
  4. Press shift+w: causes the chopper to perform Cyclic Forward action.

To see the resolution via unbinding:

  1. Unbind W from Nose down in the Plane Movement keys.
  2. Fly a chopper.
  3. Press shift+w: no longer causes the chopper to perform Cyclic Forward action.

So it looks like something is weird with the W binding for a plane's "Nose down" instruction when holding down the shift key.

*In the above cases where I mentioned shift I always mean Left Shift(haven't tried to see if right does the same).
