Bailey Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Hello there! While waiting to EDs implementation of a native DCS DTC, I have made a Countermeasures System Editor. No, this isn't just an Ovgme .lua file you have to handle. It's a program that will let you edit the CMDS profile with ease. A picture is worth a thousand flares, er, words. Click Here to Download from DCS UserFiles Click Here for the Google Docs Download All you do is open the program, select the DCS.exe, select an aircraft, play with some buttons, export, and have fun! It will even save a backup of your exported CMDS .lua just incase DCS decides to update and reset it. Remember, at this moment in time, this program is designed for the DCS F18C, F16C, A10C, A10C2, AV8B, and M2000 only only. Interest and demand will determine if other aircraft will be added. If you give this a try, please read the READMEE. It is hard to miss. Also, I appreciate all feedback. Comments, corrections, suggestions, and even a "thanks" are all welcome. Enjoy! Thank you to all the folks at the Hoggit Discord for doing some of the testing, general banter, and program naming suggestions ("EDCHITA" was a close second place. You know who you are :megalol:). Also, thank you to Arctic Fox for the program suggestion.

Weegie Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Looks excellent Bailey Can I suggest though that the number of chaff and flares use a numeric box like the ones used for interval and repeat. Currently you can only select 2 flares or chaff and I like to release a lot more in one go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently you can only select 2 flares or chaff and I like to release a lot more in one go Thank you. If you (or anyone) provides the testing that "a lot more" actually works, I'd be glad to increase the limit. I made it a slider because it seems that ED says the limit is two. Which means that if the user wants more it is either (1) inaccurate or (2) unsupported. But, I'd be fine to expand that limit with some evidence that it won't break DCS.

Bailey Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 The Viper need this Inviato dal mio BLA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk Agreed. It's a balance between community desire, and the free time I have available. The most people that use the utility for the F18 and ask for the F16, the more likely it will be that a F16 version is made.

But, I'd be fine to expand that limit with some evidence that it won't break DCS. I'm only getting into CMS at the moment Bailey and a big fave of my mine on YouTube is Growling Sidewinder. The first 2 are how to employ effective countermeasures in there he talks about release of up 8, I suppose you could set them as 2 with a very short repeat of 4 This last one refers to setting up the CMS programs, where you can set it up to 100 for Chaff and Flares dumping everything in one go should you desire. TBH though they are quite old so perhaps things have changed, as I'm just a noob at all this I don't really know. I'm just basing it on setting up the Horent's CMS programs myself last night when trying out a mission and it worked like in Growling Sidewinder's videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have not yet had the opportunity to watch the videos, but if I were to guess, the limit is 0/1/2 because you can deploy one single countermeasure maximum at a single instant per CMDS bucket. Which there happens to be two buckets. Interval represents the time between each Cycle. A cycle is the number of times the sliders (flare/chaff) happens. So, for example, if you used the IR Sam profile in the image, it would deploy 2 flares at once, wait 0.2 seconds, deploy 2 flares again, wait 0.2 seconds, deploy 2 flares again, wait 0.2 seconds, deploy 2 flares again, wait 0.2 seconds, deploy 2 flares again, wait 0.2 seconds, program complete (0.2 interval, 5 cycle).

Bailey Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Yes I am. Danish. Maybe if I change the language to US? Great program BTW. From what I have been able to look up, it is a problem with what is called "culture". Examples include ja-JP for Japanese (Japan) and en-US for English (United States). The culture determines things line dollar signs and, as you have seen, separators for decimals. I have made an update for what I hope to be the solution. If you have the chance, please try it out. I don't have the ability to easily do so myself. Here is the link to the special version. Removed. Now Version 2.1 You should be able to change your localization to US, but lets see if we can get around that.
