VC Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm completely baffled by all the options on the "special" options page. Is there a tutorial yet, or simple explanation somehwere of how to use it to set up chaff and flare programs? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

MrDieing Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Lets see if I can explain it, I'll use program 1 as example. OESP Type means which type of countermeasure the program will launch. So in case of Program 1, only Chaff. Chaff SQ means how many sequences of chaff it will launch, in my case 1. Chaff SI means Sequence Interval, the time between sequences. In the case of program 1 this is not applicable, because there is only 1 sequence. Chaff BQ means how many chaff will launch per sequence. In my case, 4 chaff. Chaff BI means the time between each individual chaff, in my case 0.2 seconds. After that you see the same for Flare, but the program will ignore it because I have set the OESP type to Chaff. So my program 1 will launch 1 time, 4 chaff with 0.2 seconds between each chaff. My program 2 will launch 2 sequences with 1 second in between the sequences, 4 chaff each sequence with 1 second between each chaff. 1 ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.''

VC Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 You're on the ball with my questions today, thank you :) all very clear now. Follow-up question. Is there a way to quickly change programs e.g. going from BVR to WVR? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

MrDieing Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 As far as I know there is no HOTAS command to quickly change programs. If you press CMBT (at the bottom) on the Left MFCD, or just the CMBT page in the menu, you will go in a sort of a combat preset, where it splits the MFCD into the top half SMS and bottom half Countermeasure settings. It will give you the option to change programs, if you press the OSB next to PROG01, it will then switch to the next etc. You can also click the OSB next to CH (assuming your set program contains Chaff, if it contains Flares it will say FL) to quickly switch to a program that contains the other countermeasure.

VC Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 That makes sense, a quick switch between chaff and flare is what I was after. Would be tempted to "cheat" and map that OSB to HOTAS in that case. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Caprichila Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Thanks a lot man, but i have a doubt, in the last program, how are countermeasures launched? In what order? Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco2002 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Thanks a lot man, but i have a doubt, in the last program, how are countermeasures launched? In what order? Regards! In that program Chaff and Flare will be launched at same time, because they have the same program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caprichila Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 He probado a configurar programas diferentes y se ejecutan al mismo tiempo, con diferentes cadencias y secuencias pero al mismo tiempo. Muchas gracias :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
