Flares mod

[Emmer]

Hi,

 

Had heard about a flares mod? Anyone?

It seems you can burst more then 2 flares at the same time, like four or more.

So if someone knows about htis lemme know , please.

I'd like to use it during displays.

 

Thanx anyways,

can't do that... what you can do is make macro (if you have programmable HOTAS) to release more then 1 set of flares in sequence (but not in one instance)

I agree with Kuky - only way I can do it is with the Macro I have programmed to release 4 Flare Bundles at a Time.

I'll post later on the real flare timings of the su-27SK, or somebody can do that for me. It has 3 or 4 sequences, would be nice to convert them to macros so we can have more realistic macro experience, contrary to those ECM blinking people.

Don't know about timing in real Su-27SK but in LockOn when you quickly release 6 flares/chaffs and brake to side in right moment when missile closing there is 99% percent to avoid hit.

thats easy then....make a macro that when you push button X it will press 6x the flare / chaff button

re

 

Rgr that.....thought with the Cougar its already there.

Since i am using the Suncom SFS i have to look for a program to use with the Suncom.I believe there is a program for it.

Thanx anyways for the info gents.

I suspect Emmer is talking about this:

 

 

I have programmed a button on my Cougar to dispense two, four, or thirty flares, depending on the position of the dogfight switch.

It's simply a macro which presses the DEL key in rapid succession for one, two or fifteen times.

 

On the screenshot above, it was set to bursts of four flares at a time (pressing DEL twice)

 

I did this mainly to try some things out for my solo display, to see if I could mimic the way the Russian Knights and the Swifts drop many flares.

 

The only problem is that Lockon seems to have a limit to the amount of flares that can be dropped in one second (or rather, the speed at which keypresses are handled).

I have set the interval between keypresses in my macro to one millisecond, but it doesn't seem to make any difference if I set it to 10 or even 100 milliseconds.
