4.37 new ECM - CMS switch confusion
-
@VDK not harder, just involves a lot more strategic planning. It’s a super cool update, and if you work with it you can get right in on them. To do it though, you really need to think about how each member of your package is being used. It’s no longer hit the jammer and hope for the best, it’s how will I use the jammer to effect what I want to achieve

@lew0984 totally agree! And i’m in love with this new ECM system!
Greetings from Brazil!
-
@VDK it’s such a fantastic addition, especially if you love DEAD/SEAD/EW. It truly allows another level to that weasel mission!
From Australia mate, all the best for 2023!

Happy 2023 for you to!

@VDK - interesting…so now the Thrustmaster Warthog is the HOTAS stick of choice, because the Cougar doesn’t have CMS->dwn?
…now if we can only get an updated TQS!

Just to be clear:
Are we sure we really mean CMS-Down, as in pressing directly down on the button, or is it possible we’re talking about CMS-Aft?
The Dash-34 uses the term “CMS-Aft” in some places. I just wanted to make sure I was clear on what #VDK means by CMS-Down. Is it the same as CMS-Aft, or is it the “fifth function” of the CMS button, i.e. a downward press, without moving either left, right, forward or aft?
Good point, #Stevie, about how some sticks (like the TM Warthog) have that function, but others don’t.

@Mylonite470 the proper name of the key file callback is
SimCMSDown
but yes probably clearer to refer to it as “CMS-aft”. -
So how do you dispense program 6 on IDIAS when ECM is active? Since CMS left changes ECM priority now.

For the IDIAS, there is no program 6 on the stick CMS… only US CCIP (and I think some MLU variants) use CMS left for program 6.
For IDIAS, you’ll have to use program 5, the slap switch, which can be programmed to dispense whatever you want. It’s not a “hands on” control, but rather a button near the throttle that can be smacked with your left hand…
SimSlapSwitch 314 0 0x1F 0 0 0 1 “LEFT WALL: SLAP Switch (ECM-PGRM # 5)”

@mirv thanks I have suspected as much. I have already mapped slap switch on my throttle.
-
@danaos75 What does IDIAS stand for?
-
Improved Defensive Internal Avionic System

@mirv Thank you!
