ACE problem with my Emag.

[Pand0ra]

On my C&C (ver 2.21), when there's no ball in the breech, it's impossible to fire. Logical.
The problem is the marker doesn't send a pulse either to my warpfeed.

You see the consequences: no ball in the breech -> not possible anymore to make the loader work -> you're stuck with no ball in the breech.

I tried to avoid this problem by making the warpfeed run with the intellifeed and vibrations, but it's not a good solution because I'm playing in Emode mainly, not hybrid (hence I must switch from Emode to hybrid, fire a few times and switch back to the other mode).

Anyone knows why the software is designed like that (bug, or feature?).

Just considering that only a select few, a SELECT FEW, have Extremes on this forum or in the US for that matter, I think it might be hard to find a little help, unless of course it's from the man himself(i.e Tom). Good luck though.

Bahhh someone else should have seen this behavior, I hope...

There's no better place than here anyways to ask this question.

Very true. AO is by far the best owners group website out there. AO 4 Life!

It's most likely something that was overlooked.

However, if your WarpFeed ever creates a situation where there isn't a ball in the breech, then something is wrong with your Warp setup. Possibly your hose is kinked to the point that it requires force to get around the bends in the hose. You can check if you have too much bend in your hose by taking off your barrel and dropping a ball into the front and have it go down the breech feed hole. It should drop through the hose and down to the outlet of the Warp without getting caught up.

Also, make sure your Warp dwell setting is long enough. Usually two jumpers in the on position is all you need.

I checked the hose just to be sure the problems doesn't come from there. It's not the case, the balls are moving freely.
I'm also using a 10,4V NiMh battery in the warpfeed, so there's plenty of force available to push the balls, and the dwell is the longest, to quickly replenish the stock of balls in the warpfeed when I shoot horizontaly.

In fact the problems comes from my loader Revo. It can't keep up with my rof. That's why after a few seconds I get problems with the feeding and the behavior of the ACE.

Seems I found a little bug in the software

Can't you hit the manual on the warp to get the balls going?

[Pand0ra]

Yep of course it's always possible to do this.
But it takes time to switch from Elecro to hybrid, then push on the button to prime the loader.

That's the last think I want to do when I'm left alone on the field and need to snapshoot the last three guys.

How's the C&C shoot? Like a dream?

[athomas]

I'd say its time for a program update. The linked warp and hopper should be activated by pulling the trigger and/or by having an empty breach via feedback from the ace.
