Create your own countermeasure programs - permanent stored!

[VTJS17_Fire]

You know the problem: You fly a mission and the default countermeasure programs are not proper for the mission (task) or you don't like them. You have to change the presets or create new programs. But in both situations, you have to do this in every start up sequence or respawn.

 

 

Finally, I found the file in which the default programs are stored.

 

an_ale40v_params.lua

"\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C Beta\Scripts\Aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\AN_ALE40V\device\an_ale40v_params.lua"

need_to_be_closed  = true -- lua_state  will be closed in post_initialize()

Presets are available from A-M. Here is my own: program N.

 

 

NOTE:

If you change default programs or create new programs, keep the CMS limitations in mind!

Interval: Inputs in 0.25 sec. steps from 0.25 to 5 seconds.

Cycle: Valid inputs from 1 to 99.

 

 

Advantages:

- Change default programs (faster as in cockpit)

- Create new programs N-Z (faster as in cockpit)

- Permanent stored and loaded at every start up/ respawn

 

 

Hope, that helps anyone.

Thanks for sharing, I have been looking for this for a while now and finally given up on it. Good work!

Anybody up for a little GUI for this mod? :)

Maybe the LOCFG coders will one day tackle the DCS series?

I would hope that the ability to save CMS settings and weapons profiles will one day be a part of a utility like Modman or something similar.

Yeap, exactly the same a real pilot has to do every single time he flies a mission. Like starting engines or starting radios or setting autopilot as desired.

 

If we were asking for a simulator as real as it gets I prefer to keep it real, not to revert AGAIN it to an arcade game.

 

Anyway, many thx for sharing.

[VTJS17_Fire]

But in modern jets, like the Eurofighter Typhoon, the pilot can do this in the mission planning room. He can save that settings on his data cartridge and in the jet, he have to push a button and load all settings in a few seconds. :smilewink:

 

By the way, I don't think that such default settings are proper all the time and in every mission.

But with that file or with the editor by JAG, you can do such things in the same time, you get briefed. That has nothing to do with Arcade, IMO. ;)

Does anyone know if the CMSC settings are actually part of the DTS in the A-10C?
