JETT switch on CMDS panel
-
I accidentally pushed it and all flares was gone.
Which bring me to the question, why we need this switch, why do i need to jettison all the flares on the aircraft ?

YOU don’t need it, real crews need it to eject any flares prior of an emergency landing (mainly belly landing with parts; of gear up), in order to prevent any possible fire and explosion in case of fuel leak following the controlled belly attempt. Flares do have an explosive / flammable part, so they must be dropped out of the equation.
AFAIK this is also taken care in the bms code; for a more realistic approach.
