Solved CMDS MODES semi/auto
-
hi,
in CMDS MODES select semi or auto always chaff released,flares are not released.
I hear “COUNTER” and CMDS Cockpit Control Unit (CCU) status “DISPENSE RDY” lights up,but only chaff is released, and flares are not released.
I don’t know it a bug or not…
Does anyone have the same problem as me?
all the best

Hello Kousi, in which block did it happen to you and in which TE?
-
Hi, Kouzi, My first thought was what is your Flare program(whichever program you have selected) set for. Maybe you have no flares set for that program?
Page 120-123 of the Dash-34 Manual has a lot on this.
Let’s assume you’re flying the Viper, and in 3D you have Prog 1 set. There are actually “two” Prog 1’s, chaff and flares. You set them via either the UI (DTC) and/or the DED in’pit -
hi @drtbkj,
chaff and flares set up already,whatever use anyone programs ,semi or auto mode only chaff are released.
I remember use AUTO mode,chaff and flares should are released at the same time.
now use semi or auto mode feel like same as the manual mode.
manual mode chaff and flares are released at the same time.hi @VIPER-0,
all F-16s blocks,KTO TE and dogfight. -
Hi, @kouzi ,
I went into KTO Dogfight in the F-16CM-52 and flares release. One thing I noticed is that the fourth switch on the CMDS panel, the flare dispenser switch, is behind the pilots knee. Is that switch perhaps defaulting to off? Sometimes the simplest things will drive you crazy .
Also, even in DF, the chaff/flares dispense based on your UI program settings, again raising the question if somehow or other your program doesn’t have flares assigned.
Beyond that, I’m kind of stumped. In any mode except STBY, you should get flare(s) to dispense. -

I’m glad you got it sorted out. I always hate to advise people to do the dreaded uninstall/reinstall , but was kinda wondering if something got corrupted .
