Solved Hung weapons
-
I frequently encounter hung weapons, both A-A and A-G, while they have not been over-G’d or overspeed and the weapon release button is hold for the required amount of time (verified by the ‘REL’ indication in the MFD. Before 4.36 a weapon also sometimes didn’t release though ofcourse consequences weren’t as bad.
Could it be related to FPS or a bug perhaps? I have been using a HOTAS Cougar with the following code: BTN S2 /H SPC for many years.I’m perfectly willing to accept a hung store but only if it’s actually my fault and not because of a technical glitch. A solution or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

@Bowser I suspect this is going to need better repro-steps… is this something you can reproduce consistently, in one of the TR missions? with ACMI recording?
hung A-A missiles should be pretty rare, I would think.

In U1, it will be less sensitive…
Will probably improve things…

I am very well hung.
Hope this helps.

@Bowser if you have set the flags as in this post, then you shouldn’t experience many hung stores and your h/w maybe worthwhile checking.
If you didn’t disable the the flags, than the chance for hung stores is very significant, when pressing release not long enough (and if you’re unlucky you’ll have a CTD).
For U1 the CTD will be fixed and the hung stores on ‘short pickle’ will be again a very tangible risk.
