Quick Countermeasure Editor v1.0.0

holy moly this is 2 years old and I've seen it now???!!! :helpsmilie:

1.1.1.1 compatible? say yes, please!!! :cry:

I cant say for sure since im at work but iv hand edited the file before and its location hasent changed in the recent patches. So as far as i can tell it should be.

But the location has changed in DCS World...

...me thinks it ain't good no more... anyone?

Does it work on DCS World 1.2.0?

No it doesn't

But you can find the file here:

Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircrafts/A-10C/Cockpit/Scripts/AN_ALE40V/Device/

the name is: AN_ALE40V_params.lua

and edit with an editor such as Notepad++

I, for example, added

-- Wireman's Flare + Chaffs general

programs['Z'] = {}

programs['Z']["chaff"] = 2

programs['Z']["flare"] = 2

programs['Z']["intv"] = 0.5

programs['Z']["cycle"] = 5

-- Wireman's Flares only

programs['Y'] = {}

programs['Y']["chaff"] = 0

programs['Y']["flare"] = 2

programs['Y']["intv"] = 0.5

programs['Y']["cycle"] = 5

-- Wireman's Chaffs only

programs['X'] = {}

programs['X']["chaff"] = 2

programs['X']["flare"] = 0

programs['X']["intv"] = 0.5

programs['X']["cycle"] = 5

-- Wireman's Attack

programs['W'] = {}

programs['W']["chaff"] = 1

programs['W']["flare"] = 1

programs['W']["intv"] = 5.0

programs['W']["cycle"] = 99

after the last entry

So you don't have to enter it all the time. Just hop into the hog and find the ECM programs there

Hi guys, I was away from the sim a long time and don't had time to check if new updates comes with a different folder structure and filename, but I will make some time this weekend to verify it and if necessary update the utility.

Thanks for your interest :thumbup:

Any way to find out how DCS computer picks the computer programs and just ADJUST them? I just love the semi-auto mode, I don't know that much about all the abcdefg progams and what they all do so... I just trust the computer.

Ground based threats only, haven't gathered data for airborne systems.

Program A for old RADAR systems (apart from the SA-3).

Program B for newer RADAR Systems

Program M for IR threats

Program L for SA-3

Caveat: Data from 1.1.1.1. and not confirmed again in 1.2.0.

Thanks eddie.

I looked into the file and there are comments on the programs.

-- Old generation radar SAM
programs['A'] = {}
programs['A']["chaff"] = 2
programs['A']["flare"] = 0
programs['A']["intv"]  = 1.0
programs['A']["cycle"] = 10

-- Current generation radar SAM
programs['B'] = {}
programs['B']["chaff"] = 4
programs['B']["flare"] = 0
programs['B']["intv"]  = 0.5
programs['B']["cycle"] = 10

-- IR SAM
programs['C'] = {}
programs['C']["chaff"] = 0
programs['C']["flare"] = 4
programs['C']["intv"]  = 1.0
programs['C']["cycle"] = 10

As you can see it's not what you suggested, eddie. Maybe the programs are changed in World? Or maybe re-positioned? Or maybe the comments are not saying which program the computer will pick for a threat but give you a general idea of what CM you should use?

I am confused now...

I want the computer to pick the CM but I want to release them. So I want to change the picked CM programs. But should I change A,B and C? Or A, B, M and L?

Confusing post, sorry. But so am I, heh.

I will probably do some testing now. Just get into radar range of a SAM and watch my CMS pick a program. How do I simulate a IR threat? Does the CMS detect an IR threat when there is a missile launch without a prior radar lock?

Thanks in advance!

There is just this one small problem because of which I use CMS manual mode...

When a Shilka locks on you the stupid computer chooses an anti-radar-AAA program with chaff only... and if you get an IR missile fired at you at that time, guess what, you're toasted... cause you can't drop flares without switching the bitch to manual and changing the program...

So usually, when you enter no man's land without knowing the threats that await you, be on E program and manual mode...
