UV_26.lua

[JG14_Smil]

Hello,

 

I was telling Panzertard about this lua edit as we were flying MP, but I forgot to provide the info and thought I would do it here. As the manual says, you can edit a lua file for your chaffe dispenser to save having to do it on every startup. The manual lists an improper file location.

 

...Scripts\Aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\Device_specs\UV_26.lua is the proper location.

 

...

init_ripple_quantity_program = 4 "4 repeats"

 

...

init_num_in_burst_program = 1 "one flare" (actually one on each side)

...

init_ripple_intervals_program = 2 "2 second interval"

...

init_current_board = 1 "makes a flare come out each side, "128 instead of 64 shows on display"

 

I have had good luck using this string but users can use anything they like. it gives me 6 seconds of coverage and I rehit the button if I need more flares. Good compromise between coverage and flare waste. I lower '4' to 1' when in PvP so I can hide a bit better and don't leave a trail of flares telling my flight direction. This is a nice work saver when starting up.

 

Also, the file explains what the confusing numbers you see on the buttons mean.

Thanks for this, I ALWAYS forget which way to program the damn thing, that lua edit will do nicely.

:thumbup: Smil.

I've read the manual - but sometimes I read certain chapter a bit too quickly, it's like "yeah yeah, know this stuff - now let's move to the new stuff".

Thanks for the heads up, now I can create my favorite evasive program .

 

Cheers. :)
