Countermeasures

[dorianR666]

Is there truly no way of making the F-15E throw only flares or only chaff?

 

1) modifying ALE45_PRG.lua has no effect

2) semiauto mode is not implemented

3) the default MAN1/MAN2 in man mode throws both flares and chaff

4) there is no in-cockpit way of modifying MAN1/MAN2

5) moving the rear cockpit DISP SEL switch to chaff or flare positions still throws both flares and chaff

 

am i stupid or what

I'm going say no.  It's all WIP being an EA module.

Semi-automatic countermeasures mode is implemented. If placed in semi-automatic and you have a radar actively tracking you, pressing the CMD AFT (Manual 2 Dispense) will activate the semi-automatic dispense profile. This will depend on what the threat is, and it must be actively tracking you, not just searching. I have had a SA-2 Fan Song tracking radar actively track me, pressed CMD AFT (Manual 2) and the aircraft dispensed a single chaff per press of CMD AFT.

At least according to the manual, threat-based programs for MAN 2 dispensing are not available yet and it seems to just default back to the MAN 1 program.
