Hi. I set my countermeasure program 1 to fire only flares and program 2 to fire chaffs only. Set Semiautomatic mode to S/A1 (to fire flares incase of MANPAD or AA IR missiles fired at me). My understanding is that S/A and automatic modes choose the correct profile depending on the situation. F-18 can't detect IR threats but has RWR. My goal was to have a program with only flares and automatically switch to chaff program when locked and fired by SAM or aircraft with radar seeking missile. When I was locked and fired by SA10 I had to manually switch to S/A2(program with chaffs), It didn't switch to the correct program. With my understanding ALE-47 would select program 2 when I was locked by radar, because program 1 had no chaffs in it, but it didn't. What I'm doing wrong? Earlier I used default program 1 with 1 flare, 1 chaff but decreased repetition to 1. But it was wasting my countermeasures which hornet has few. And the point of getting two separate programs for IR and radar-based threats was not wasting them.

Harrier was my first ever flown sim aircraft from back GTA San Andreas :D It is very iconic AC for me so I'm gonna get it anyway and then think between harrier and viper. Thank you guys.

Thank all of you. B+ variant would be nice. I cant decide which module to get. I want something more "universal" than only ground attacker and that's why I was hoping for B+ variant. Maybe hornet or viper? any suggestions?

Hello. I'm new to DCS and plan to get harrier. I saw some post that say Razbam is going to add radar for a2a missiles. Any news about that?
