Tyrant07 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Any updates on this issue? Having to grab a new jet just to get CM is a little annoying in MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant07 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 bump. Can we at least get acknowledgement from Heatblur that this is a bug? Or direction on what everyone seems to be doing wrong if its not. I've tested the last 3 patches and still cant rearm countermeasures. It is getting a little old having to make the choice between having no countermeasures or grabbing a new jet and going through the full startup again.

NeedzWD40 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Just found this out today when I unchecked the "Load LAU-138 with Chaff" option for certain F-14 slots. The ALE-39 starts off with the mission editor selected load, but the radio menu option for ground crew loadouts does not work and the countermeasures are not reloaded in any capacity within a mission.

earnil Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hi HB, unfortunately, even after this was supposedly fixed according to change log, I just can't make it work. I tried: -> refuel / rearm-> don't touch CM sliders -> F8 - F6 to set CM count -> F8-F6 to set CM -> refuel / rearm -> don't touch the sliders -> set the sliders -> refuel / rearm -> F8 - F6 -> set the sliders -> F8 - F6 -> rearm / refuel went back to RIO seat and reset the CM count none of this works. If I'm doing it wrong, can please somebody, who actually made it work and seen it work tell me, how to do that? (btw I'm talking about plane with Jester. It works with human RIO).

Dear HB Could one of your Devs please post a track file, so we can see what we are doing wrong? This issue is very easy to replicate. Arm your plane and take off with Jester Drop all your flares Land and use any method that Earnil tried to reload the CMS. Take off again and you can't drop anymore flares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Grover Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Resetting counters is just for RIO to track the number of countermeasures left. The most important action is to reset the programmer - hold the reset switch in RESET for at least 5 seconds. From the manual http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#programmer : The RESET switch needs to be used to reset the systems internal counters after loading new cartridges into the launchers. Needs to be held to reset for at least 5 seconds to reset the system. Jester does it each time after reloading the launchers and taking off.

Hi Super Grover, So can you drop all your flares, land rearm take-off and drop flares again with Jester? Can you please describe the method? as I and all of my friends can't get this to work with Jester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Grover, but in that case, reseting the programmer should be irrelevant with Jester shouldn't it, since Jester does it on it's own. Can you please post step by step how you rearm countermeasures in the plane with Jester? I fully acknowledge that it's probably my incompetence at this point because EVERYONE tells me it's just 'easy' and just do it like 'you always do', but as posted above, I tried almost every possible combination and I can't get it to work.
