I hate to bring back old threads but I'm having the exact same problem and this is the ONLY forum I've seen it mentioned... actually it's the only place on-line I've seen it mentioned.
So either this is an extremely rare issue or it's something SO OBVIOUS that everyone else doesn't seem to think it's worth mentioning.
Here's MY description of the problem:
When I hit TAB (or any other key/button I assign to afterburner) I hear the same sound effect that plays when the afterburner runs out (ya know, that sneeze type sound). But the afterburner bar is full. What's even weirder is that the throttle is pushed to max and stays at max as long as I'm holding down the afterburner key, but no afterburner.
Well my specs are:
Processor, memory, mobo, blah blah (dont think any of these matter)
Specs that might be related to the issue:
- Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback controller
and
- Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A
- WinXP SP1 (all updates installed from Windows Update site)
===========
The game used to run fine (afterburner worked) on my older PC -
A P3 (733) with WinXP SP1 and a cheap brandless joystick.
So what do you guys think? Seen anything like this before?
