Travelbob Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 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.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 8, 2020 ED Team Share Posted December 8, 2020 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 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Revientor Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Found the problem This bug only happens when ypu had eddited your file manually (with notepad++) https://mega.nz/file/iotgHSjZ#7KYue0nlIpAfg0N06qv8EviBtpDmdzqEoIPvx_S7B3I 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 8, 2020 ED Team Share Posted December 8, 2020 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.
