DarkStar79 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Is it possible to tell Jester so the pilot have control when releasing chaffs? I know the default is flares, but i want to release chaffs manualy. I have tried all commands on Jester but cant get it to work?
VC Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 If you give him control of flares, then the pilot CM release button should default to chaff without you doing anything else. Do you actually have chaff loaded on the plane? Most missions it seems have default loadout 60 flare 0 chaff. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Krag6 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 You have 80 chaff loaded on your wing pylons by default, and it releases 2 per button press for the RIO, 40 releases. I think as of now you can't do it for a pilot. I'd love something like Pilot Lantirn Mod that adds it.
Rabbisaur Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Yes, you can go to dcs/mods/f14/input/f14pilot/default.lua make a back up copy of the file. Then go to f14rio/default.lua, find the two lines that correspond to chaff/flare single release. Copy and paste to the plilot default. Start DCS, bind two keys for the F14 pilot. Enjoy the extremely long arms of your pilot reaching the controls in the RIO seat. Exactly same as LANTIRN mod. Better not to use during MP as opfor players will consider you as a cheater. I hope HB official can add a key bind telling Jester to do the releasing. Because in reality you could. Edited March 29, 2019 by Rabbisaur
Super Grover Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 It's controlled by the RIO with the FLARE MODE switch - in any position other than PILOT, the DLC/CMS will launch chaff. You can ask Jester to set the FLARE MODE switch - it's one of the options in the defensive submenu. Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Thank you for the information, it would be perfect that functions in jester manual can be directly bindable. Sometimes the view controlled menu make took me a long time to use. Especially opened the menu when head is looking away from the center..

That makes sense now, I thought default load was no chaff! Still, I'm not sure I've actually seen chaff being dispensed when I press the DLC. Need to test more, maybe the wing pylons aren't chaff capable in some missions? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting! X51 website: https://x51squadron.com/ Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/d9JtFY4
