Flares possible ?

[Morpheus]

Just a question: do you think it's possible to add flares on L-39C (real Breitling Jet Team uses them at the end of the show) ? I see lines in L-39C.lua but may be it's only for AI :helpsmilie:

It has flares, center panel forward of the stick, left side. Buttons are color coded to match the flare color, arm switch below. If you want multiple flares select unlimited weapons and pop to your hearts content.

The Brietling jets must be modified, seen pictures of them with full sized combat flares

You mean decoy flares? Not sure if the RL jet was ever equipped with those. Field mods may well exist however.

Already found this :smilewink:but in .lua you haves lines, and in ME, payload page you have options chaffs and flares but no possible to set them. That's why I ask me the question ;)

Real Breitling Jet Team uses flares at the end of the display :smilewink:

Hello,

 

These look an aweful lot like flare holes...

 

Have a great day.

I wonder if you are not supposed to use them with air brake out?

[GeorgeLKMT]

That's where the hydraulic accumulator is, not flares.

 

L-39C/ZA has no IR countermeasures, only signal flares like already mentioned. Breitling uses a modified airframe with dispensers on each side with 6 flares in total, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you, we will continue to use signal flares, so only question I ask myself: why put lines in L-39C.lua and option (not avalaible) in Mission Editor? Mystery and no problem, that's was just to make same as real Breitling Jet team :smilewink:

[GeorgeLKMT]

The lines in the lua are to define the position of the signal flare dispenser. ME will always display the controls, just disabled on some aircraft (CMDS_Edit = false), no mystery there.

 

I can imagine it might be possible to mod it somehow though, 3 left and 3 right just like Breitling, but that's beyond my knowledge.
