EnDSchultz Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I admit I really don't know how the Shift+6 menu with Jester is best handled to ensure you don't end up taking a missile because the wrong countermeasures got dispensed. It seems like half the time I'm engaging enemies at 30 miles and can't get Jester or myself to use chaff, or I eat a heat seeker in the face because I end up dispensing chaff instead of flares! Can anyone shed some light on how best to configure the countermeasures to avoid this? Thanks.
The_Tau Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Personally as pilot I only use flares and I leave chaff to jester. To defeat radar guided missiles I try to be more precise with my flying (notching, hill etc.) Jester does drop chaff, its just he is quite conservative with it. Chaff in DCS is really effective in perfect notch anyway, it doesn't do much if your position is wrong (eg. its useless if you above enemy) Edited March 5, 2021 by The_Tau 1 Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau
F1GHTS-ON Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 I have the DLC switch mapped with the Flare dispenser (which is correct?) however, once I've used DLC once (works with gear/flaps down) after re launching, I can't get the flare dispenser to now work. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? DLC switch IS countermeasure button as well (same button). Whenever its flares or chaff, its set by Jester/RIO (be default flares). When flaps are up, then DLC works as countermeasure button, when flaps down then it engages DLC.
