Gunnergolly Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I've been messing around with the M2000C and In the ME i pick one of the Eclair_M configurations to add more chaff/flares to the M2000C. The in game the kneepad says that i have those addtional flare/chaff quantities loaded but in reality i am only ever able to fire off a maximum of 16 flares no matter which pod configuration i choose in the ME. If for instance i choose to have an additional 16 flares in the Eclair-M pod, those 16 flares are fired off ok but the aircrafts internal flare dispencers have been disabled. The additional chaff quantities seem to working ok as it first empties the Eclair-M pod and then switches over to the internal chaff dispencers. I have disabled all mods and cleaned/repaired my DCS installation.... made no difference. Is this a known problem with the eclair pod or are am i doing something wrong ??....... i've read the manual but still non the wiser..

Didn't find a problem when dispensing 64 flare and chaff using the Eclair-M 6/0 (48 flares, 0 chaff) configuration. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/339510-edit-countermeasures-count-in-me/?do=findComment&comment=5344356 The only thing that might catch you out is that AFAIK, you MUST ensure DCS's chaff/flare sliders are set to 234/64 when rearming. Attached is a track where I dispense 64 flares using countermeasure program 5 (1 chaff + 1 flare), if you continue to have issues please attach a short track file. Tested using an air spawn M-2000C (Eclair-M 2/4 and 6/0 configurations), Caucasus Map, DCS Open Beta Multithread 2.9.2.49940 M2K Eclair-M 6_0 64 Flare Test, 2_9_2_49940.trk Edited February 17 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.9GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A flare/chaff limit might be stored inside the file and you can't edit it. Try deleting the aircraft and adding a new one, this does fix the problem.

Gunnergolly Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) Thanks for your replies guys. It was due to using an old mission file, deleting the aircraft and adding a new M2000C fixed it.... It's been a very long time since i last time i played this aircraft, there's been a lot of changes in that time... i'm sure the countermeasures panel used to be on the left side of the glareshield !!!. Thanks again ..

Lol. The old Eclair control box was removed from the DCS cockpit in November 2019 and cockpit revised to match the real as flown by the AdA. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/170893-dcs-world-changelog-and-updates-of-open-beta/?do=findComment&comment=4068013 Edited February 17 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.9GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
