Hi all. Just got this pack and my gun sound stays on after I shot them.
I'm using the #1 trigger on the saltek X52.

The key space  is the same the sound stays on. is the sound looping or something?

Thank in advance.

flyer01

I have un-installed and re installed and that is not what it is.

the files my be bad from the download.

I have tryed in different planes and the same thing happens. the guns stop firing but the sound stays on. Works pretty good other than that.

How do I get some support with this?

Mark I will do that.

I like what I have seen in this and have been hoping that FSX would become a good combat sim. But with the sound of the guns sticking on wow. I make lots of video and would like to show this working. I no that the A2A spitfire will not work with this addon it shuts down the plane. I would like to see A2A and CS work together with this to pair up in sales or make a lost leader with the wapons pack.

Thanks for your help.

I'm flyer01 on SOH also if you go to that site.

Hi Mark,

I have the same issue than Flyer1 with the gun sound...any fix available?
Thanks for the help,

Johan

Please submitt tickets. We'll check.

Alex, your ticket system doesn't work...or is it overwhelmed...?
The gun sound is a problem: it doesn't stop.
The calibration is a problem: red circle does not appear with the Ctrl+Shift+9

Please respond on the forum so everybody can benefit.

I'm going to try and put in a ticket again.

flyer01

Ok so I created a short Fraps video which I uploaded to Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvDjWzM0Io

Its only 20 secs, you will see I fire 7 rounds into the ground, release the trigger and guns keep firing as I disarm.

Good luck with a solution and others can comment if the gun sounds the same as theirs.

Got the same problem here, system details to follow.  Great product though!!

I am trying to submit a ticket without success. Still waiting for a solution for the gun sound. All the rest works great - Thanks

That is what it was. I was not able to put in a ticket using Goole Chrome .
You have to use Internet Explorer.

Thank you for that.

I take back all the bad things I was thinking. LOL

flyer01

I have exactly the same problem.
I have removed the assignationg for space bar and 1button in my joistick and the problem remained the same
I have downloaded the software and reinstalled it and that did not fix.

I´ll wait for a fix for this SUPERBUG

As others have commented I changed browsers and then was able to submit a ticket.  Regarding the gun sound, I uninstalled Weapons, reinstalled, problem continues.

Hi Flyer01, yes, works fine but for only one gun, for 2 guns (SPPU-30) I sometimes noticed strange noise. I will do short video for this and will put trouble ticket.

Add me to the list for both the ticket and the repeating gun sound problems.

I'm also unable to raise a ticket, because I'm using IE9 beta I suspect. I click on Raise a new ticket and nothing happens.

I test all new addons on my desktop (W7, 64 bit) before installing them on my flight sim PC (Vista, 32 bit) to ensure they run without issues. Both run Acceleration. W4FSX worked just fine on my desktop so I decided it was OK to install it on the sim, but as soon as I fired the very first shot using Ant's Tiger Moth, uh oh... the dreaded repeating gun fire sound I've been reading so much about on this forum. So I closed FSX then loaded the F-18 with W4FSX already installed... same problem. I've tried everything that's been suggested so far, but no joy.

No problem with the rocket sounds, just the guns.

I'm sure the answer lies somewhere between the differences in my two system setups, but I've no idea where to start looking.

W4FSX is easy to use and just so much fun, but not so much fun with the sound muted, so it's back to the desktop until some clever basket comes up with the answer.

Hi flyer01

Windows Vista and Windows 7 have strict hierarchy rules on C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). All the FSX gurus don't recommend installing FSX to its default location on those systems. You might find that if you had installed FSX to C:\FSX, you might not have encounter those problems. Mt FSX installation is on my separate 500GB F: drive, far away from the C: drive and Windows 7's tight control over it.

Anyway, I just thought it would be worth you (and anyone else) knowing that.

Mark, I sent in a ticket on this and have not heard anything from CS about this.
Do you know if thy are working on this?

Hi flyer01.

I understand what your saying. only thing I have XP.
Sorry. I was sure I saw a mention of Win7 in one of your posts.

Would you send me your unit .DAT file to see if that is what it is?
Only if Captain Sim give me permission to do so. After all, I did agree to their EULA before installing their product.

I sent in a ticket on this and have not heard anything from CS about this.
Do you know if thy are working on this?
I don't know if they are working on it, but I am sure that they are working on it. I'm a bit surprised that you have not heard anything from support yet. But that old saying of "no new is good news" could apply. Meaning they are working on fixing this bug.

Mark

Hi !
I got exactly the same problem, with the gun-sound as mentioned above, and have maneged to send a "Ticket",
I was wondering if this problem, maybe is related to XP, i See that "flyer01" have XP, I got XP-Pro ?.

Hi Trailboss,

The credit goes actually to Flyer01 for his suggestion on loopEnd="0.000". The solution is not yet perfect on all guns, I am waiting for a response on my ticket as well. I hope CS is working on it.
Thanks,

Johan

I received an E-Mail from CS with a new CSWeapon.dll and instructions to rename the current to old_CSWeapon.dll and instert the new .dll .

FSX recognized the new .dll and requested permission to use it but unfortunately for me it didn't do the trick so I swapped back to the original .dll file.

Waiting for the next suggestion from CS.

Hi Tex,
Good point and I had the same thought yesterday.  The default slider position for brakes is full right, so when the gun problem (continuous firing sound) occurred I tried moving it to the left.  In the left position it wouldn't fire the gun(s) at all.  I also tried the center position, same failure. 
Keep thinking!

Here is my two bobs worth.

I get a sound issue, but NOT the sound going on continuously after releasing the trigger, the firing sound getting a bit distorted (M60C works fine). So far it is only happening in the AC130 (from C-130 X-perience). Can't remember if the the CS C-130 uses a sound file like the 757 and 767, but could that influence the sound in any way?

Mark

Hi !
I have reinstall.. the "Captain Sim Weapon for FSX" (with the same issue as mentioned above), I used Revo Uninstaller, and when it was finished with the first part, and was surging for left over files, it told me to be careful with deleting, because some files was sharing (and gone into some folder) with Captain sim 727 Base Pack / Service Pack 2.4 ???

Captain Sim wrote on Feb 9^th, 2011 at 5:02pm:



Hi Alex !
I cant tell you exactly, I have tried again to on install, but when I come to the mentioned second part it only tells me something like, be careful.... folder Captain sim 727 Base Pack and something with Service Pack 2.4, and then  "Revo Uninstaller" freezes while surging ?, (I have tried surging manually, with no luck), but I will be back if I find out something.

"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?"

flyer01 wrote on Feb 11^th, 2011 at 7:25am:

Hmmmm ! Its funny with your mods, and the gun  set up for shooting only one round every  time I hit the trigger, I actually have the sound of impact, when the rounds hitting the ground with splash and explosion as well (of course not in a jet fighter flying 600 knots) I don't hear much)), with that said, if this have been the setup from the beginning, I wouldn't have recognise any problem with the sound. at least of my system, but it seems that there is more than one variant of problems.
But I know that CS is working on it (they send me a new "CSWeapon.zip" to check out) but same problem )).
And I agree, this is "Really a nice addon and fun to fly with", hope CS find a fix.

Hi Trailboss

I wonder why that happens? My XLoad F/A-18D's load into FSX fine. What I like about them is that you can SEE the weapons on the plane.

Mark

Hi Mark,
I got my landing gear.  A Google search turned up an answer you gave more than a year ago about someone whose CS-707 didn't have landing gear.  You suggested uninstalling and then a fresh download from the CS site and install.  That's what I did and now all versions of the F-18 show up complete.
Thanks!

Captain Sim wrote on Feb 12^th, 2011 at 5:42pm:


You got latest drivers installed

What drivers are you talking about?

flyer01

Well, If I read this post the good news is there is only a few people have reported the problem with the gun sounds, the bad thing is I'm one of them.  
I have SP2 and Acceleration hooked up.  For addons prior to the Weapons pack, I've done a hud update on the stock F-18 to a realistic hud, a hud glass update and the refueller update, all from flightsim.com.

Don't know if any of these addons would have any influence on sound? 

Today they sent me a revised .dll that created a log text, which I've included for some of you techies to look over.  Its a bit long and I don't know when the log started and stopped.

Hello Flyer01,

I am looking at your solution to try to resolve this issue on my system. I have Windows 7 and I can't find this setting...is it only relevant in XP?
Thanks for your help,

Johan

Flyer,

Glad it worked for you, but it is not the fix all you think it is. I run XP Pro, with my sound acceleration all the way up, slider to full right. And I do not have the sound issue. Never have had from the first install. All my gun sounds work just fine.

Maybe it's a hardware issue...Do you have an addon sound card? I do not, just the integrated sound on the mobo...what type of audio card and drivers do you use? Not sure which integrated chip mine is, will have to check when I get home from work, but my audio drivers are the Realtek AC '97

Not trying to be a wise ass, just trying to help figure out what the problem is.

Some success with Hardware acceleration.  I first turned acceleration off in DxDiag and still had the repeating guns.  Then I turned it back on and I got single shots stopping as I should.  This works until I exit and re-enter FSX and then I have to go through the steps again.

I have Realtek HD Audio OMB and tried changing the driver but with the same results so I rolled back the driver. 

It is only a temporary solution or perhaps a clue to the solution because I don't want to repeat this process every time I load FSX.

I dindn't get any fix via E-Mail, reported this on my ticket, so hopefully the solution is in the mail.  The gun was great when it worked, especially since you could hear shots hitting the ground also.

Captain Sim,

I am one of the first customers mentioning the sound issue and have been patiently waiting for a fix from you. The first one didn't work, the second (ticket 6646) WORKED on the default F/A-18. I followed your install procedure step by step but discovered after removing the CSweapon.xml you sent as a fix that all my other planes with weapons installed were screwed up: HUD not showing, amunitions down to zero on all weapons, etc...I had to uninstall and re-install CSweapons and after too many hours, I am still not back to my working setups...disappointed that the "fix" did more damage than good.
Keep working on it though.
Thanks,

Johan

After weapon reinstall please do not try to use any modified csweapon.xml files. They will not work anymore. Use original csweapon.xml only. And please follow the instructions next time.

Captain Sim 2 wrote on Feb 28^th, 2011 at 5:43pm:

With all do respect. You say "After weapon reinstall please do not try to use any modified csweapon.xml files. They will not work anymore".

My I ask how thy are putting bombs in the csweapon.xml files and the sounds still work?

I use XP and was able to turn the Audio playback Hardware acceleration down to Basic acceleration and the sound of the guns work like thy should.

And able to set to unlimited ammo and the sounds work. Yes when I used the last CSWeapons.dll that you wanted  us to try  the unlimited ammo did not work and when I tryed to get unlimited ammo to work it went down the flush. lol

I have the sounds working like I said in XP.

If you have XP and what to try this if your sound is sticking on this is how.

Start> Control Panel> Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices>Sound and Audio Devices Properties>Audio>Performance.Turn your Audio playback Hardware acceleration down to Basic acceleration.



When will the bombs be added so you can turn them on in the weapons control panel? That is what I would like to see in the first update.


Thanks,

flyer01

flyer01, your tip for the sound settings fixed my sound issues 100% Thankyou very much.

                                                                                                      Regards Barney.

So its been a couple of weeks now since the last CS .dll fix test.  While it did work for the test Aircraft CF-18, it did not apply to other aircraft.  If you did attempt to test on other aircraft it would zero out all ammo and you would have to re-install CS Weapons.

So has anyone had any further fix patches sent their way?

NO Missle-Lock sound:

I´ve been playing around for quiet some time, tried every AA-Missle but I never hear that Target-Lock and Target-Search Sound described in the Manual...

Maybe I´m wrong, but if I switch to i.e. AIM9 and set it to SEARCH-Mode I should hear that lower steady sound unless it locks on a target an become a higher steady sound...

Any ideas how or where to solve this?

It´s not that big problem playing without that sounds, but when I pay money for a AddOn, I would like to have it  work 100%...  

I allready had to solve the gun-sound issue for my own...  

Special build for those who got issues with the weapon sound is available via Support.

Thanks Capt Sim for V 1.01. All (sounds, effects etc.) it is ok now.

We are glad the problem is resolved.
