Help: Press trigger once bullets keep flyin

I am having a problem all of a sudden with CFS2

If I press the trigger once and release it, the game continues to fire as if I am holding down the trigger.

I already tried resseting assignments to default and I still have the same problem

This only Happens in CFS2,(CFS3, and FS9 is ok) and started happening all of a sudden for no appearent reasons in both stock and dloaded AC.

Anyone have any suggestions or what file might be associated with the problem


Thank you,

I get this with my somewhat venerable Sidewinder Precision 2 stick now. It's because the trigger sticks - well, it's had a lot of use ;-) I'm looking for a replacement now - sadly they don't seem to be available anymore, which is a pity.

Your problem may also be due to the 'repeat' setting on the trigger button in in the controller assignment settings set up - you don't say what stick you're using, but I would guess it's either mechanical or in the settings.

Weird! I've got a similar problem but just with CFS3!, I have an M$ FF2 Stick, CFS1,2 IL-2 etc etc are fine, in CFS3, I fire my guns and they keep firing until I press the trigger again!?!

Good job I rarely play CFS3.......  ::)

Does anyone know the file that might be causing the problem so I can replace it?

YAY I FIXED IT!!! (Sorry got carried away)

Here's a quote from Microsofts site

"Combat Flight Simulator stores game and joystick configuration settings in the Combatfs.cfg file.

Combat Flight Simulator 2stores game and joystick configuration settings in the Cfs2.cfg file.

To rebuild the Combatfs.cfg or Cfs2.cfg file, press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start Combat Flight Simulator and then start a new flight. Continue to hold down CTRL+SHIFT until you are in Cockpit view.

NOTE: When you rebuild the configuration file, some of your joystick settings may change.
"

It was my CFS2.cfg file that got messed up
