@VinntoreZ Are you going to try and have the flare dispensers be functional on the KKR-1 pod? 

Those are not flares. They are a special illumination cartridges that blow up with bright and short flash - for the night photos.
 

No idea if I'll be able to make it work but sure I'll try.

"Lutch" indicator for antiradiation missiles (replaces the TV when BA-58 "Wyuga" pod is mounted).
With su-25a avionics those are still fired "maddog" but it allows to place the aircraft at a right angle so theres higher chance for signal interception by the seeker (yes, I have tested it).

I've been doing a little testing with flares recently... my best guess is you could do it with a flare (like illumination rockets/bombs as already in game) with a high intensity and short duration. 

Edit: 

Did a quick test using the SU-25T and some custom flares... simulating the illumination cartridge effect should very much be possible:

I must say, I'm really excited for this one. This is the kind of stuff DCS is missing, a big 'ol hole in the Cold War. Personally, I love the "manual" feel of the redfor aircraft. 

This SU-22 will be the perfect substitute for the Mig-23 which has been put on ice. The fact we have content creators which put their heart and soul into mods like this, makes it truly special. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to your mod! 

I'm still hanging on that someone someday will tackle the SU-24

I am excited about this mod. I am ready to create an Iranian IRGC skin based on the following livery to complement my other skins (see: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3345515/).

 

 

 

Could you please shed some light into your plans for releasing texture templates for this mod? I realize that you are planning to release plenty of liveries including the above IRGC skin, but I see no choice but to create this livery on my own from scratch so that I can proudly park it among my other collection of Iranian liveries (see the link in the post above for the empty spot in front of the A-50's left wing.) Without making this skin myself, I cannot legally or morally use your skin.

Thanks!
