Rearming

[DaveTC]

Hi,

I've noticed that since the latest updates, when re-arming the Apache, one can no longer specify the number of flares and chaffs that should be loaded. In previous versions you can alter these sliders. Is this an intended modification? 

Thanks for the feedback.

Kind regards

Yes, this is intentional.

The two flare dispensers that are mid-ways down the tail boom are only ever loaded with flares, and the chaff dispenser at the base of the vertical tail is only ever loaded with chaff. These are never used to mix quantities other than the standard 60 flares and 30 chaff. Further, an aircraft would never be loaded with partial quantities of expendable countermeasures in any of the dispensers, certainly not for weight reduction (which would be negligible anyway).

Thanks for the headsup!
