Flares

[Emmer]

Hello,

 

How do i get the flares to work?

 

Any ideas?

If you have your CMDS system turned on, Flip the switch for the Chaff && Flare, then turn the program button to 1-4, finally turn the last dial (forgot the name) to MAN.

 

Now you will press CMS forward to deploy Chaff && Flare based on the program that you have set. Eventually we will have the ability to adjust what each program does according to our preferences for a particular mission.

Panel under gear lever, turn on the two most right, then turn the knob to Man (manual).

I’m lazy :) I map a key to release Flare/Chaff, and just turn dial to MAN.

Open this file in your:

 

C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\EWS\CMDS\device

 

Use notepad to edit the LUA to fit your program preferences.

This defeats the programming? I was wondering how I could get that to work because I dont usually dump 20 flares and chaff at one time.

There is also a wall dispenser you can slam :) This drops two chaff and two flares. Much more conservative than CMDS forward.

The button itself is above the throttle grip on the sidewall. You have to get your head/view lower to see it. And in the controls it's called CHAFF/FLARE Dispense Button.

You can have 4 programs. Cmds up is the dispense button.

 

Each program have different dispense rate and time.

Yes ! Saw that ; thank you very much! (Dziękuję!)

[Pamenchan]

CMS up should use the program you've selected (1-4).

CMS left should use the program 6, but i did not saw it do anything.

Program 5 is the wall dispense button.

[Emmer]

Right ; explains alot ;

 

Thanks!
