steelrfan85 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I am trying to figure out how to use countermeasures as the pilot. I see Jester has a countermeasures option for defensive etc but I didn't see anything happen. It is kind of hard to select the different options and try to fly the plane at the same time. I had a SAM launch and within a minute I was blown out of the sky. Jester just said break right and as soon as I did, KABOOM! Any suggestions?

OnlyforDCS Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Use your RWR to get a general bearing. Also remember a Heatseeking SAM will give no warning. Jester will also call it out if he sees it. As a pilot you can either use flares or chaff (you tell Jester beforehand which ones you want to dispense) or you can set it up so Jester uses both. I usually let Jester handle both and set a program I want. It's working out pretty good so far, however sometimes you will get hit no matter what you do. IR SAMs are easily avoidable if you stay high enough, and when you break against radar guided sams it's not just enough to break to one direction, you need to mix it up with some shapes and try to head away and towards the ground if at all possible.

VC Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 What sequence of commands do you need to give Jester full control of CMs? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting! X51 website: https://x51squadron.com/ Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/d9JtFY4
steelrfan85 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Is there a button to dispense the flares/chaffs?
VC Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Is there a button to dispense the flares/chaffs? Yes, it's the same button on the stick that enables the DLC when flaps are down. With flaps up, it dumps CM instead (whatever you told Jester to load). 1 VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting! X51 website: https://x51squadron.com/ Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/d9JtFY4
steelrfan85 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Well that will help response time. I can’t even get through mission 1. Get to waypoint 2 then its SAM launch. I’m suppose to be CAP so no bombs. Enemy Planes are long distance from me. AWACS tells allies pop up groups so they get chance to take them out.
