teslabolt Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 I am unable to dispense Chaff and Flares. Master Arm = On Dispenser Mode = Bypass (have tried man/semi auto as well) Have tried the keyboard bindings as well as the HOTAS No joy. Running the latest version of DCS Open Beta Thanks for the help. This is really frustrating.

DAZnBLAST Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 D and E keys work fine here on latest OB. Bring up the re-arm menu and make sure you have them loaded?

teslabolt Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 I definitely have them loaded. I can operate the emergency jettison of the flares and confirm visually that they do so. Just can’t bloody do it manually or automatically.
Harker Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Can you post a track or a video of what you're doing? CM release is working fine for me. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

teslabolt Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 So it appears I am having this issue. Are there any updated fixes for this? The rows in question are tinted RED.
teslabolt Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 So in going through my user files for input, I discovered that I had duplicates for my joystick and keyboard bindings. Oopsie. Problem solved. Sorry for the alarm. Everyone, as you were.

PoorOldSpike Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) And for good measure I might just as well toss this couple of screenshots into the soup- These are the keys I use to pop chaff/flares, first I switch the dispenser on with RShift D, then manually hit D and E to pop them, simple as that. I haven't a clue what all the other keys are for, but the bottom line is i don't need 'em anyway, I'm kool.. I think there's an option to "auto-pop" them (whatever that means), but I haven't experimented with that yet. (PS- just type the 4 letters "disp" into the control search box, it works better than typing the full word) Below: my Hornet popping away in the Gulf. (noob note- chaff is small bundles of foil, so don't wrongly assume they're not popping if you can't see them, look more closely and you'll see a bundle just leaving the tail like in this shot) Edited June 20, 2020 by PoorOldSpike
