Mission Editor ALE-39 setting no effect ?

[AvroLanc]

So it seems the ME countermeasures setting has no effect. I’ve recentjy figured out the way to get the chaff and flare load out you want is to:

 

1. Use the groundcrew menu to select the chaff/flare combination you want. There’s no feedback but don’t worry.

2. Use the rearm menu, and just click ok.

3. After rearming check the C and F settings in the kneeboard.

4. Reset your ALE-39 panel to correspond to those settings. Remember to hold reset for 5 seconds.

5. Reset the counters on the panel to match.

 

This is fine for a cold start or any start on ground,, but why doesn’t it automatically take the setting from the ME? It’s obviously a problem for air starts, you just get the standard 60 flare load out it seems.

 

The only ME setting that matters is the LAU-138 loaded or not option.

For me setting them in ME or by the ground crew has no effect. I always have 40 chaff launches and 60 flares no matter what.

After you set them with ground crew, 'rearm' using the round crew menu, don't change weapons etc, just click ok to 'rearm'.

 

Once it's complete, set CM panel to kneeboard setting. Also reset counters.
