Need a status indicator for countermeasures

[Topgun505]

It would be nice if there could be a window we could activate as needed to see the status of the switches on the countermeasures panel so that if we are in a multiplayer server and do not have a human gunner, that we can see the series, interval, power settings of the left and right launcher, and which Set is currently active.

+1. When flying online solo, there's no way to check if left/right banks are on/off, which channel is selected, and if the system is up and armed.

Imo the AI gunner should be automatically taking care of this, it makes much more sense for him to monitor that then for the pilot.

you can glitch the camera into the front seat and check 

wind mills yes the ai gunner should take care of it but this is DCS so

How would he determine which program/interval/series to use? IMO this needs to be determined by a human, not AI who don't even know the mission goals & tactics

 

OP +1000 it's crucial in MP!

Pop-up box like the AI controls in Hip etc. or could be a nice addition to the Petro sight for the pilot, 2 small green or red dot indicators beneath reticle or something indicating L&R armed or not and what bank with number either side for interval etc.

 

Seems like it would be more useful than big boxes with your azimuth/angle from cockpit etc - I mean if you don't know you are looking out the left side of the helicopter 80 degrees and down a bit...you probably shouldn't be trying to fly it at all? (Possible to just get an indicator light displaying Petro ROE instead?)

Either a small menu popup to choose those things, or the ability to set a "solo" flag for the helo in the mission builder, so you can jump between seats in multiplayer just like in single player.

[MPalmer]

Since the Petrovich commands for the pilot are minimal, could they be assigned to Left Short/Long? and since Right short is only used to accept target...so that one could be used.

with feedback stating the selection

It could be show in kneeboard 1th page.

+1 since you can manipulate teh controls already, Just text pop up on the top right of what the setting is.
