Title: Help w/ Afterburning
Post by: Rice128 on November 10, 2003, 09:45:56 pm

My Afterburner doesn't work in the game!!!!!!!  I use MS Sidewinder 3D Pro and the afterburner key is mapped to tab and button 6.  Everytime use afterburner using either mapped key, it just makes a sound like my burner doesn't have enough energy to use and it doesn't engage the afterburner even though the energy bar is full.  Anybody know solution to this problem??  I tried to map the afterburner to other keys and I still have same problem.

Let me guess, WinXP?

This is a known bug I think, you'll probably find that your ETS doesn't work either.  Find your FS2 executable and make sure that it is running in Win98/Me compatability mode.
