Cyberadje Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Gentlemen, I tried to search for my DCS trouble, but what I found was older then the latest update. If there is a thread, my apologies. My Problem, all other planes have working chaff and flares, except my Mig21. Because I didn't find any other post around the same date. I'm guessing it's me. But am not sure. when I test it in my Cougar set-up inside DCS it shows the right key-bindings. All help is appreciated.
Britchot Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I'm quite removed from my computer and haven't had a chance to fly the current release but do you have the SPRD cover open? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPU - Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz; Memory - 128KB; 360KB double-sided 5 1/4" full-height floppy disk drive; 10MB Seagate ST-412 hard drive JG-1 MiG-21bis Checklist
Proper Charlie Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 It's working okay for me. Equip an ASO-2 pod in your loadout, press right-shift + J to open the cover as Britchot says, then hold left-ctrl+ space to launch two flares and one chaff. 1
cardboard_man Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Also you have to hold the button down for a while before it will start to drop countermeasures. 1
Cyberadje Posted April 10, 2016 Author Posted April 10, 2016 Gentleman, Thank you kindly for your quick response. When I use my hotas setup. I see the cover open and I see that the button is pushed. Also before the latest update last week it worked oké. I was able to launch chaff and flares separately and combined. That's why I don't understand what's wrong now. But I'll try the Aso tonight. Thank you.
Zweistein000 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) I have had problems with ASO pod not working if loaded up with 42 flares and 22 chaff (even though that should be the default ratio). Try it without changing the flare and chaff amount to see if it works. Edited April 11, 2016 by Zweistein000 1
Cyberadje Posted April 10, 2016 Author Posted April 10, 2016 Hi Zweistein000, Thank you for your reaction. I'll test that option too.
Cyberadje Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 Gentlemen, Tested all your mentioned options and voilà, it's working again. The solution was hidden in my patience. Just needed to hold the button longer.
Chimango Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Same for me, posted already in the bugs and problems section. Chaff/flares dispenser not working for me. I make sure all specific switches and covers are in the right position, and also i press the drop button for a few secons and still won't work. I have latest 1.5.3 version. 666GIAP_Chimanov - My Tomcat tribute video, type on youtube browser=> "DCS F-14 Tomcat Symphony"
Elwood Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I have chaff/flare on single player but as I posted in Multiplayer threads was not available on some multiplayer server.
