Cameljockey Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Has anyone had your trigger (not in the stick) jam on you? The gun keeps firing after you've released the trigger. I know it's not the stick because it's done it with three different ones, a Saitek Cyborg, a CH Combatstick, and a MS Sidewinder. Any ideas? It's a real stat killer when you only want a short burst and get about 100 rounds before you can stop it! CJ Quote
Hasse Wind Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I've had a few gun jams, but never anything like that. Must be really annoying! Quote
sitting_duck Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 havnt had it happen to me, but seen it quite a few times in mp with other pilots, and its only from my perspective,,,ie i can hear the guns going non stop, and even see the tracers, but from their perspective, their guns are not firing.......quirky stuff huh....

Cameljockey Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 It might not hurt to burn it down and rebuild. I'm still on my first install. I noticed it in Phase 2 also. Oh well, it's not like it happens all the time. I'll live with it until such a time when something really serious happens. CJ Quote
Macklroy Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Only time I've been able to get the guns to stick 'open' and firing is when i pause the action in mid attack for a quick screenie. If i was firing when i hit pause, I will be firing when I unpause the game regaurdless of if my finger is on the trigger or not. The 'open' gun is soon silenced by a quick flick of the trigger. First time it happeded i thought they were enemy traceres and I started to jink and dive before i realized that the bullets were originating from MY gun haha. silly pilot. S! Quote
Olham Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Cameljockey, I have that, after pressing "pause" for a screenshot. When I make screenies, I pause to choose the right angle. And I pause in the middle of the burst, hoping to get the tracers caught. Now, when it happens after releasing "pause", I just press the fire button short, and it stops. Perhaps try that? Also, you could "pause" the sim, press the WINDOWS key below left (game will zoom down), then press WINDOWS key again (game will zoom back up), and see, if it's released.
