Harley Davidson Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Just wondering if there is chaff an flare for CM's on A4... Looked but can't see any.. Anyone know?
AcroGimp Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 On the far left side of the instrument panel under the glareshield you will see the countermeasures control panel, it has a power switch, two counters and knobs, one for each of two banks of countermeasures. In the reload window you can load up 30 Chaff and 30 Flares or any mix thereof, and you can set it to discharge from either bank or both - works really well actually. See page 81 of the DCS A-4E Guide.

Home Fries Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 There is. You select the bank using the switch in the upper left portion of the cockpit (1, 2, or both), then the Q key to dispense.

Harley Davidson Posted December 5, 2018 Author Posted December 5, 2018 I have to download the guide! Sorry gents but I didn't know there was one.
Tirak Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Quick note, the dispensers are a bit bugged, so after you turn on the system, make sure to cycle through all 3 switch positions for bank selection, then you can use any of them properly. If you don't, they won't dispense when commanded.
Don Rudi Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Quick note, the dispensers are a bit bugged, so after you turn on the system, make sure to cycle through all 3 switch positions for bank selection, then you can use any of them properly. If you don't, they won't dispense when commanded. I cannot confirm this. I switch it to either bank 1 or 2 depending on the threat I expect and it works fine. I never cycled it. Cycling is only needed if you want to release both chaff and flare at the same time.

The switch needs to be switched to to be enabled, instead of just working from the get go. So you need to cycle it.
Nero.ger Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 sounds like the state of the switch is not in sync with the setting 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.
