Mark, the Weapon has it's own sound engine. Not a byte from the airliners sound system.

We are working on the issue anyways.

What are the files names please?

Captain Sim, thanks for the headsup about turning off FSX, that's what was causing values to default.  I've continued experimenting with the csweapon_mg_shot1.wav line in CSWeapon.xml  I changed the loopEnd= value to "0.0"  When I fired the M60 it then made a single shot sound, which is what the wave file is, and the rounds counter counted down as long as I held the button but no further soound.  There was no muzzle flash, however.  I then added loopBeg="0.0", arbitrarily trying different values since I was shooting in the dark (sorry for the bad pun), and then I had the single shot sound, a single muzzle flash and the rounds counted down, but it still wouldn't repeat the sound and muzzle flash to a rata-tat-tat-tat.  It's possible that with the correct loopBeg value it may work correctly.
Also, I wondered if FSX SP2 versus Acceleration is the variable that determines who has gun sound problems and who does not.  I am running SP2 and I have the sound problem.  How about you others who have reported it, and what about Mark who did not?

I got SP2 and Acceleration.

I did get the sound to turn off when releasing the trigger as most of you know. But thy are still not working like thy should.
Until CS getts a fix for this---- I  took the sound Wav. out.
I like to hear the sound of the rounds hitting the ground / water better then the sound not working the way thy should. IMO.

Really a nice addon and fun to fly with. I'm just going to let CS find the fix. I'm no master at this.

Hi Flyer01,
When you submitted a ticket on the sound problem did you get a confirmation from CS that they received it?  I submitted a ticket 5 days ago and never got a confirmation.
Thanks

I decided to install FSX Acceleration to improve the performance of Weapons for FSX, but instead I have lost ground.  The modifications I had made to the CSWeapon.htm file that under SP2 resolved the continuous fire sounds for the machine guns except the M60 no longer work.  Now with Acceleration all the gun sounds go non stop. After installing Acceleration I went back and manually modifed the CSWeapons.htm as I had done with SP2, changing the loopEnd files to 0.000   When I opened the F-18s and ran the different weapons (guns, missiles, rockets) the guns reverted to the old problem, the sound continuing after releasing the fire button and not stopping until I exited the flight.  I need a new solution for that problem.
I'll report this to a different forum, but just so others know, the change also resulted in the XL Load F-18s loading without landing gear. The F-18s included in Acceleration are fine, but the XLoad aircraft are screwed up. I uninstalled and reinstalled them, no improvement, no landing gear.
This is discouraging.  I'm going to submit a ticket for the landing gear problem and a new ticket on the gun sound problem but this time with Acceleration, but I have yet to receive any acknowledgement of the ticket I submitted on sound for SP2.

All your tickets were received and forwarded to development team, we are working on the issue.

We've got about 10 tickets on the sound issue. That shows that sound works fine on vast majority of systems. We are checking why it does not work on these 10 systems.

So far we got no luck trying to model the sound issue on our test systems. We do suspect some possible issues with the users' systems or FSX setups.

While we looking further please double check:
- You got latest drivers installed
- You use FSX SP2 or Acceleration
- Weapon is reinstalled from a scratch with NO modifications.
- You use default F/A-18 or LX-45
