Programming Chaff & Flares


Captain Orso

Recommended Posts

You'd think somebody would come up with persistent settings for chaff and flares.

 

When I get in my car, I press a single button, and the seat and outside mirrors are automatically adjusted to my settings :thumbup:

 

So, why do I have to setup chaff and flare burst and salvos every time?

On the real jet the data cartridge most likely saves all of these settings.

 

 

Also keep in mind, your car was built in the last 5 or 10 years. These jets are like 30 years old.

So it's like an Ol' Timer? :huh:

 

I don't suppose inserting a data cartridge would be planed for the AV-8B, would it?

Is that a file in \Saved Games or in the installation?

 

I'm kind of tired of fixes that only work in SP - far too many (not specifically referencing the AV-8B).

The Hornet EWS profiles are in the base install. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I will check later and see if the harrier has a similar file and post here.

There is a file you can use to set up programs just like in the hornet.

 

Download THIS

 

...DCS Wold\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\Scripts\EWS

 

I use JSGME so you can do that or you can just edit it and drop it into your install. If you drop it into the install, you'll have to do this every time you update though.

 

This is what I use

local gettext = require("i_18n")

_ = gettext.translate

 

-- Chaff Burst Values

-- BQTY: 1 to 15. Special values: -1 = Continuous (will use ALL chaff); -2 = Random (will dispense between 1 to 6 chaff)

-- BINT: 0.1 to 1.5 seconds. Special values: -2 = Random (will set an interval between 0.1 and 0.4 seconds)

 

-- Chaff Salvo Values

-- SQTY: 1 to 15.

-- SINT: 1 to 15 seconds.

 

-- Flare Salvo Values

-- SQTY: 1 to 15.

-- SINT: 1 to 15 seconds.

 

--All Expendables

EW_ALL_CHAFF_BQTY = 3;

EW_ALL_CHAFF_BINT = 0.5;

EW_ALL_CHAFF_SQTY = 1;

EW_ALL_CHAFF_SINT = 1;

EW_ALL_FLARES_SQTY = 3;

EW_ALL_FLARES_SINT = 1;

 

--Chaff Only

EW_CHAFF_BQTY = 3;

EW_CHAFF_BINT = 0.3;

EW_CHAFF_SQTY = 1;

EW_CHAFF_SINT = 1;

 

--Flares Only

EW_FLARES_SQTY = 3;

EW_FLARES_SINT = 1;

 

need_to_be_closed = true

No. It doesn't, you can edit to your heart's desire
