RIO AN/ALE-39 Flares - DCS BUG + Manual typo

Recommended Posts

EDIT2: sorted, it's probably not a bug, just one of the 10-block of cartridges that runs out of flare in multi mode before the 20-block does so the MULTI FLARE stops dispensing two chaffs because there are simply no more chaffs in one of the AN/ALE-39 stations.

I found a couple typos in the manual as well:

When using the random and continuous settings for B special conditions apply.

B at C QTY and R INTV sets the first 3 cartridges to launch at 0.125 second intervals, the rest at random intervals from 0.25 to 4 seconds. Ejection disregards the S settings and continue until all cartridges are ejected.

B at R QTY and R INTV sets each burst to have between 4-6 cartridges and to eject at random intervals between 0.25 to 4 seconds. The first burst in a salvo will always launch the first 3 cartridges at 0.125 second intervals.

B at R QTY and INTV at set number sets each burst to launch between 4-6 cartridges at set interval. First burst will always launch first 3 cartridges at 0.125 sec interval.

B at fixed QTY and R INTV sets each burst to eject one cartridge disregarding B QTY.

I guess it should be:

C at B QTY and R INTV, R at B QTY and R INTV and so on. No big deal of course.

 

Is there a thread dedicated to the manual? I have found a few here and there (for instance the use of FUSE instead of FUZE).
