Steel Jaw Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 What CMS program number is it? In BMS IIRC it's program 6. "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, ASUS RTX3060ti/8GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It’s 5 in BMS, I believe. It’s 5 in DCS as well. Anyone know why we don’t have a Program 6 in DCS? Was it a MLU only thing? Is ‘CMS left’ used for something else in the USAF version we’re getting? Towed decoy deployment maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I haven't seen program 6 as real in any F-16. CMS left generally changes between jammer or radar priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It releases 1 chaff and 1 flare by default. Go to DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\EWS\CMDS\device, open the CMDS_ALE47.lua with notebook. It says: -- MAN 6 - BYPASS mode programs[ProgramNames.MAN_6] = { chaff = { burstQty = 1, burstIntv = 0.02, salvoQty = 1, salvoIntv = 0.5, }, flare = { burstQty = 1, burstIntv = 0.02, salvoQty = 1, salvoIntv = 0.5, }, } You could edit program 1-5, so you don't have to configure your CMS programs everytime you get into a new jet. I haven't tried edit program 6, since I don't use bypass mode, but you could give it a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In BMS there’s dedicated P6 in addition to Bypass mode. It’s activated with CMS Left. Again, I’m not sure how accurate it is for a 2007 USAF Viper. (In BMS you could have 3 different programs available with only 1 button press required….CMS Forward (P1-4), CMS Left (P6), and the Slap Switch.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess the functions of the CMS switch depends on the blocks. According to ED and the manual we have in DCS, CMS left (currently) has no functions. I have the warthog stick so I bind the slap switch (in DCS I think it's called chaff/flare release) to the CMS depress function on my stick. In this way I could have two programs available on my hotas: CMS forward for program 1 (this is the only manual program I use and I edited the lua file to make program 1 release chaff only), and CMS depress for program 5 (flare only).
