GunnDawg Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I have set up my chaff and flare programs and everything but cannot figure out the keyboard command to bind to my HOTAS in order to release said countermeasures program. I have done a forum search as well as read up on the countermeasures documentations in the manual but still couldn't find it.
Eddie Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Look for the CMS hat under the HOTAS section of the controls. CMS FWD starts the selected program, CMS Back stops it. CMS Left and Right cycle through programs and CMS Z axis (push down on the hat) activates the SPJ in manual and semi auto modes.
Thomasew Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Key 7 - CMS Forward - Start Program Key 8 - CMS Aft - End Program Key 9 - CMS Left - Next Program Key 0 - CMS RIght - Previous Program These are the normal 7 thru 0 keys at the top of your keyboard, and NOT the numerics found on the keypad.

menendezdiego Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Is there a way to simply pop a flare here and there at will?
Eddie Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Is there a way to simply pop a flare here and there at will? If you set up a program which releases one salvo of one flare, and then select it as your active profile, then yes.
GunnDawg Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Hmm I have set up 7 and 8 to start and stop my flares but nothing happends when I fire them out. (yes the CMS systems are on)
mvsgas Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Is the system set to manual or semi? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Eddie Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Hmm I have set up 7 and 8 to start and stop my flares but nothing happends when I fire them out. (yes the CMS systems are on) What mode is the CMS in? You need to be in manual or semi-automatic to be able to execute a countermeasures program.
GunnDawg Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 When I press 7 and 8 on the keyboard it works, so must be something wrong with my HOTAS settings/profile that I will need to fix, thanks.
