Fire button launches countermeasures...huh?!

Tue Feb 25, 2003 1:43 am by Braxton

Hey all, I just Alt-Tab'ed out of the FL demo to ask about something that just came up.

Like the subject says...for some reason, when I right-click to fire, it launches a counter measure. (I checked the controlls...Fire=R-click, countermeasures=C) Because of this I have to rapidly press keys 1-4 to fire the weapons.

On the initial menu, 3D sound is avaliable and active...but it became grey when I loaded a game. For a while, I couldn't hear the engines but after doing a random mission it's (thankfully) back.

It's kinda strange cause it never happened when I played it before. Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this.

Have you deselect the counter measur in the weapon window ?

Reblade is accurate, you can't have the countermeasures in the green in the weapons window or they will launch when you fire. Look at their number in the window, hit the same number on the keyboard to deselect, bingo. Good question! I wondered why all my Sunslayer torps kept firing until I figured this out too.

OMG, that's it! I selected it on the list and made it green like the 4 guns. Ah, so that's what that menu does.

Thanks for the info.

I had something even more stupid. I started playing, accepted the 1st mission and shot some people. When I had to shoot pirates for the 2nd time, I tried to fire but I just heard some sound and nothing happened. It took me some time to realise I had "Cruise Mode" on
