firing button
« on: September 11, 2011, 07:41:01 PM »
lately ive had a problem with my firing button. i fly with a mouse and recently after i re-downloaded the game to get my sounds back i had to re-do all of my settings and stuff. when that happened my planes no longer fire when i right click. (fire button) if i want to hit a plane i have to hold down the fire button on the mouse for 3 seconds and after that i only get a .5 second burst. any ideas on how to fix this?

try using a joystick, instead.Then you can map the controller.

perhaps double check your mouse settings? for holddown and repeat key fucntions?

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Just seems on the surface to be a mouse-issue, not game issue...

If the settings appear fine, try swapping out a different mouse just to confirm one way or the other.

You could also double check HERE! and see if you missed a step while setting it up again.
