[MOD OR MANUAL EDIT ISSUE]Chaffs and Flairs not working in download missions

[Travelbob]

Hi there, flying the F-18 in mission editor and in delivered stock missions I can activate and use chaffs and flairs.
But I noticed when flying in donwloaded missions and campaigns (e.g. The Serpent's Head) I can activate the Chaffs and flairs but I cant fire them.

I checked the individual mission in the editor, the plane has Chaffs and flairs loaded.

What do I wrong or is there a known problem/bug? I am sure the problem is me. No one else claimed that problem before. But when you cant use counter measurements...you are a sitting duck for SAMs.

Any help is much appreciated.

Are you setting the Dispenser switch to ON or BYPASS?

[Travelbob]

Yes, I tried both

This is the DCS equivalent to "did you put the plug in the wall socket?" 

Surprisingly often the root of the problem.

I have similar problem
In any mission I only can release one salvo of chaff or flares

Thank you for the track, 

 

have any of you used any mods regarding chaff and flares? 

 

When I check the track it seems to work for me and I can release more than one salvo. 

 

Might be worth doing a cleanup and repair 

[Revientor]

No I didn´t use any mod

I will do a clean up

Found the problem
This bug only happens when ypu had eddited your file manually (with notepad++)

With the default file works as expected, but at the moment you edit or used this file... broke... I updated the las default ini file with my own programs and this bug happens

[BIGNEWY]

Ok thank you for confirming, 

 

Best option is not to edit the file, I wont be able to report this as it is a manually edit issue or modification.
