Adding chaff/flare on existing aircraft? How does the lua code works?

[grim_reaper68]

Hi

I'm looking to add a third chaff/flare launcher on an existing aircraft. But it won't work. I put additional lines in the lua file but nothing. I couldn't find any explanation. Is there something in the 3D model that defines the number of dispenser? Or is it only the lua files?  I managed to move the exisiting position where i want them to be. 

Another question is how to define how much chaff or flares each can carry? For example i want to have pod 1 with 120 chaffs, pod 2 and 3 with 60 flares each. It really complicated to understand the lua "programming" without  any explanation and/or concrete example.

Thanks for  help

It appears that most of the mods equipped with dispensers have a weapon system lua created that corresponds with powering up the system. The A-29 mod has countermeasures working with no power on, i tried to edit it for another mod but could never get it working.
