Habu23 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Hello, I am building a mission where I would like a C-17 to deploy flares when its on final approach. Is there a command that I have to use or do I have to script this event to occur? Ideally I was planning to put a steer point on the approach that would activate these flares. I know this is possible to achieve because the AIM-9 training mission features SU-25's that spontaneously deploy flares for training. http://www.globemaster.de/assets/images/c-17/C-17_Globemaster_flare.jpg Habu Edited December 14, 2011 by Habu23 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jeffyd123 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 maybe make the plane invincible and fire missles at it. i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
Habu23 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. I figured out that "Continuous Action" combined with "Signal Flares On Unit" will get the job done. At this point my only problem is to turn the flares off! How would I accomplish this?

SmokeyTheLung Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 You might try linking your continuous action trigger to a flag. Should give you more flexibility to start and stop the flares System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
Habu23 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 Hi Smokey, Thanks for your advice. It appears after testing that the flares will stop about 30 second after commencing. I will use the flag's to closely coordinate the timing so it is just right. Habu [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
