Zeus67 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 Hi Zeus, Just in case you missed what I asked earlier: the DRP switch in the cockpit currently turns in a continuous manner, will you be changing this to a sequence of discrete positions? It would be easier to manipulate with the mouse if it is discrete positions (like the radio knobs or INS mode knob). Also, if you don't mind, what is this panel that Azrayen was mentioning which isn't modeled? Keep up the good work! This module is by far my most favorite! The DRP has been changed to a series of discrete positions. No. There is a specific CMD panel that the M-2000C does not use.

Rlaxoxo Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 @Zeus Not sure if it will help you Zeus but You can edit Programs for A-10C easily. Don't know if you knew that or if it will help you by any chance but if you go to \Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\AN_ALE40V\device And open file called: "AN_ALE40V_params.lua" You can chance the flair and chaff amounts for different kinds of programs. I personally use this a Mod to have my own programs all set up when I'm in A-10C so I don't have to fiddle around with it every time. You decide if it's helpful or not : p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit

Zeus67 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 These are the final changes made to the CMD: DRM (marked LL) is the system master switch. DRP only controls the decoy release program. If DRM is in A (Off) you cannot release chaff nor flares. If DRM is in SA or AU but DRP is in A: you cannot use the decoy release program but PANIC release is now available. If DRM is in SA or AU and DRP is between 1 to 10: you can use the selected decoy release program and PANIC release. Button 5 = Decoy Release Mode (DRM). Knob 6 = Decoy Release Program (DRP). The Keyboard bindings are now these: FLARE release is now Decoy Program Release. CHAFF release is now Decoy PANIC Release. There are new keyboard bindings for the DRM switch and DRP knob so you can map them to the keyboard and/or joystick. Default Decoy Release Program is the following: Also we have included the éclair pod release position. Now when you use the éclair pod, the chaff and flares will be released from the pod position instead of the internal containers position. The following are not available at this time: 1. Automatic decoy release (AU). 2. Ability to modify decoy release program. We will provide them as soon as we can. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Azrayen Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 These are the final changes made to the CMD: Excellent!! :D DRM controls the decoy system as a whole (just like nearby switches BR, DA...), so A = powered Off. DRP controls programs. If not program (A), no launch, except for PANIC that is program-independent by nature. Thanks a lot, Zeus.:) That one makes perfect sense. :thumbup:

kobeshow Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Is it possible to set your own release programs in a .lua somewhere, and if so: will it pass the integrity check? I know we could get this function in-game but I would already like to change some things since I am used to using my own release programs (via Joystick makro) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "DCS World is the main public build, it has nothing to do with being stable" -Bignewy

iLOVEwindmills Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Is there any way to find out what program is selected besides looking at the switch itself?
Zeus67 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Is there any way to find out what program is selected besides looking at the switch itself? No, there isn't. But a quick glance can tell you the switch position.

kobeshow Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I have "created" this kneeboard page from the finalised charts that Zeus has posted, simply copy it into this folder C:Users\(name)\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard\M-2000C Since there was no answer about my previous question, and the changes have made it to 2.0 already, can someone tell me if the countermeasure programs are editable in some .lua file and if that will pass the integrity check, would be much appreciated.

Veritech Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 On another note. I only have a single light (LL) in the RWR to indicate CMD status. So far it works as follows: DRP Knob in A position: LL is Off. DRP Knob between 1 to 10 position: DRM in A position: LL blinks fast (2 blinks per second). DRM in SA position: LL blink slow (1 blink per second). DRM in AU position: LL steady. Now I want to implement ERROR codes, like the ones that my Plasma TV has: LL blinks three times per second: No flares LL blinks four times per second: No chaff. LL Blinks five times per second: CMD is off line (either No chaff and flares or the system is damaged). But I am not sure how feasible this is. So I am asking for your opinion on this one. Zeus, don't you guys have any precise info on how it behaves IRL? Same as the program modes. Are those non-stamdard and just pre programmed befre the flight?

Gliptal Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Yep. Things are so strict about the matter that pilot doing AMAs actually have a predefined response to answers regarding defenses, even if it's only about manuevering or general tactics. I can't be sure obviously, but I believe they're forced to copy paste the given answer and can't even give their own rendition of the refusal.

Azrayen Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Err... it's not been there for a month, not even released on the 1.5 yet... and Zeus is away for the moment. Razbam guys are proficient at publishing news on what they're doing and what to expect (changelogs... etc.) What's the point, here?
VTJS17_Fire Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Err... it's not been there for a month, not even released on the 1.5 yet... and Zeus is away for the moment. Ah, didn't know that.

Azrayen Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 OK :) My question was more about why asking now ("so soon" in my opinion), not why the feature would be nice to have: on this I fully agree with you :) For 3 flares (and 6 chaff), use the "panic" mode ;)
