Lightning Bug...

dr_ron21 · 2003-11-29, 02:50 PM

When I use the Lightning (drive it), it always turns to the right a little bit. Now at first I thought it was just me, but then Destroyeron told me the same thing happened to him. Is this on purpose or is it just a bug?

Do you have a jotstick plugged into your PC? If so disconnect it and it should fix the problem.

why not just compensate by turning a little to the left?

Rarzo · 2003-11-29, 02:55 PM

That would be really annoying having to go to the left all the time...

Nope. I don't have a joystick hooked up to my computer at the moment :|

yes, but in those dire situations when you are being chased by a magrinder and set it on cruise control, you're likely to crash into a tree, and get blasted to pieces quicker. Not very fun if you ask me, getting killed because of a tree.

I have the same problem with mine. I uncerted and took prowler to see if it was happening with them also and it's not. Lightnings are indeed pulling to the right and it's just them as far as I know.

I have the same probem, and I don't have a joystick.
The steering clearly needs re-aligned.

*TeraHertz stamps the lighting as MOT Failed.

my lighitng is doing the same thing, i need to get its treads replaced soon to, they keep spinning even while i'm out of the vehicle, that can be good for them.

It's a bug, its on the list to be fixed probably in the next patch.

Hah I thought this thread was going to be about the actual bugs that light up. You know the ones you catch in bottles and stuff.

Well anyways this used to happen to me with alot of vehicles. The one I can remember is the deliverer, you could tell even more when it was in the water because it would be moving more slowly but turning at the same speed.

scarpas · 2003-11-29, 07:23 PM

happens to me too...

FlakMan · 2003-11-29, 07:28 PM

Who doesn't it happen to?

yeh i get it, pretty annoying, worst is when crossing a bridge and i flick to the map for a bit, come back and its turned right over the railing of the bridge and into the water

Xxzard · 2003-11-29, 11:00 PM

i once had a driver that drove over bridges on pupose, which was really annoying he was trying to drown me i guess.
