What is the muzzle flash bug?

[earl_laamanen]

I've read about some addons that have a muzzle flash bug where it is always visible.

What is this, why does it happen, and how do I make my weapon fully compatible with every version of OFP?

[registered_fugitiv]

ok what it is is the muzzle flash that suppose to be thier when u fire remains thier the hole time
it only occurs in 1.75+ to what i know
and its fixed in the config.cpp but i dont know how to fix it if it does come up

wll it has been seen before 1.75 i thinkand it is funny how it acures
here it dosent acures whit eny patch(as fare as I know).
