ÉCLAIR chaff and flares amount bug

[Glimmer]

Thanks TAW_OldSauveur for notice about this glitch.

 

There are ÉCLAIR problem.

 

Normally, this pod add 16 flares and 18 chaffs to total default amount (in my example) 42 flares and 112 chaffs.

 

 

First time, I set in editor M-2000C in sky with 48 flares and 112 chaffs. In second time I add ÉCLAIR pod.

 

In game when we take ÉCLAIR pod, in cockpit we see normal increased amount 58 flares and 130 chaffs, but when we start program (in this example I used program 5 for best demonstration (1 x flare, 1 x chaff)):

 

1. At cockpit indication we see, that drops x2 countermeasures 58... 56... 54.... 52....... 16 times

2. Really, we drop only 1 x chaff and 1 x flare every time and totally we still have 48 flares and 112 chaffs.

 

=> ÉCLAIR pod is useless and we get broken countermeasures amount indication.

 

Total amount with pod in cockpit:

112 + 18 = 130

48 + 16 = 64 (in cockpit shows 58???)

 

Amount without pod:

130 - 16 * 2 = 98

64 - 16 * 2 = 32

 

Real total amount with pod:

98 + 16 = 114

32 + 16 = 48

New ECM panel is coming so this is no longer being looked at. The new one is working as it should and hopefully will be with you on the next update .

With the new ECM box the bug is still not resolved: equiping eclair still gives 42 flares max, just like without the eclair

There's really no point to equip eclair at all
