falcon_120 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) Hello, i'm having problems to make this option work in a instant action free flight mission. Couple of questions. First, is this bypass option referring to the panic button of the hornet? If not, shouldn't we have a bypass option for CMD FwD and one for CMD Aft? Until now bypass option always released one chaff with CMD Fwd and 2 flares with CMD Aft (or the other way around always mix them). I'm editing the DTC so in bypass mode it releases 8 flares 0.1 second apart, then i save the DTC and once in the plane a load it through the MUMI page, however it seems it does not make any difference, i'm still seeing 1 chaff/2 flares when in bypass mode instead. I will attack a track if that helps, but have any one tried successfully the bypass option of the F18? EDIT: I realize now that i'm testing in air start missions, is this a problem? should i be parked in the runway? Edited April 18 by falcon_120
falcon_120 Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 Ok, i managed to make it work. It seems bypass does indeed refers to the panic button. Just a minor bug @BIGNEWY, it seems the bypass option ignores the Chaff quantity. Setting bypass to 1 flare, 15 repetiton, each 1.5 seconds. Releases a flare AND A CHAFF, on the correct repetition and interval (15, 1.5seconds). Can't i have no chaff released? or is indeed a bug?

Red_Camarada Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I was doing some tests and my results were little different than yours, the MAN6 porfile in the DTC is related to the big red button on the left wall of the cockpit (panic button) while the bypass profile does not seeming to be linked to anything, seems more like a copy-paste from the F16 DTC profiles
Solo_Turk Posted April 18 Posted April 18 bypass should drop two chaff when cmd forward is pressed, two flare when cmd aft is pressed. there shouldn't be a dtc profile for it. man 6 profile is for dispense button(big red), man 5 is for cmd forward when manual mode is selected. cmd aft is for which mode is selected via snulltep (Man 1-4) 1
