Haven't experienced a gun jam yet, but..........

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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!

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.
