I kinda wish they qould put another one out as soon as it goes full release for counter measures and radar as well. All of these tutorials have non-functioning buttons that would be good to learn about.

Ladies and Gentlemen! He is on a roll. Nothing can stop the RedKite. Thanks for demystifying yet another system.This is really important information to help one stay alive. And as always, but there is MORE. The link provides RWR legend. Well Done SIR.

Can always count on RedKite to provide the single most needed tutorial at any given time. Was looking all over for this help! I had everything right for Bypass setting except Master Arm! Was driving me insane! As always, thanks RedKite for yet another no-nonsense resource.

Awesome video, I just learned so much about a system I was using 1/3 of it's potential prior to this. Keep up the videos, all the facts, no fill and great speed and explanation. Would love to see more videos covering specific systems just like this.

Excellent vid! I have a question, though. If the countermeasures are set to Auto, how does it know that an IR launch has happened?

Thank you very much.

Hi mate. Great vid .. Im a weapons tech and worked on the F18 and many others .... the master arm in all aircraft does not stop the flares and chaff systems. This may be a DCS issue. ;) FYI.

There are additional bays for what's referred to as Gen-X expendables these are special deployable ecm's and decoys that'l really change how we see countermeasures in dcs when they're implemented.

Thx, I'll do some more research into the F-18. I wasn't sure if buying such a high-fidelity module was the right choice for me - given the limitations of my system: using an i7-4770 (could do overclocking but so far no), recently got myself a better graphics card for free - Gforce 970 lol... + 8mb RAM for free, now running it with 24MB... I have 2 SSDs and TrackIR5 pro but my HOTAS is the main limitation currently: Thrustmaster Hotas X- has only very few buttons so I use keyboard + mouse a lot. Works for single player and F5E + FC3 modules thpugh! But now I am starting to enjoy the Hornet already! Very easy to handle, 2nd carrier landing attempt trapped No2 wire successfully after a bolter! Tanking unsuccessful so far but I'll learn it eventually...

thank you soooo much !!!

are there any differences between the f-18 and su-33 countermeasure systems working diffrently? i.e flare temperatures, chaff effective area

good info

THANK YOU!!!!

Just a note. Master Arm does not safe countermeasures. They can be ejected on the ground. Ive seen it happen. I worked on these systems in my younger days. :) Nice video.

Actually, on the DCS simulation it does, I'm surprised it's possible to eject countermeasures on the ground!

how many flares do you have? i flared like 5 times and ran out

Fantastic

So countermeasures forward is always program 5 and countermeasures aft is always pprogram 1?

Good stuff, the more and more I get into the Hornet and the same back when I ws trying out BMS... I just don't understand why would anyone design an aircraft (system, HOTAS wise) which is not based on the A-10C layout. But I guess the A-10C layout came out a lot later compared to these systems. The A-10C just has the systems, pages, CMS, HOTAS so much more conveniently placed

The ATC will hold your mach number, or attempt to hold your on speed aoa for approaches(with gear down), however, it seems the aoa hold function of ATC is not working at the moment, it always puts me into a death dive.

I'm having trouble getting the BIT test on the ECM. I don't see the lights by the MC saying Go/No Go. Nothing is lit up during test or operation (if it is). What am I missing? I turn the dial to STBY, BIT, XMIT nothing shows on any of them.

I'm not 100% sure it's working completely, these tutorials are made from a mixture of official dcs manual, natops and tactical documents for the real aircraft. If the RWR displays correctly and plays the tones during test you can assume it's functional for the moment.

But how will the automatic mode react, if I put it on s/a and changed all programs before? Will it use one of my saved programs?

@RedKiteRender

6 жыл бұрын

I couldn't say, i suspect it'l use it's own programs tailored to each radar threat. I think the semi- and auto modes are currently in development however, so i'd stick with manual or bypass for now.

What does continuous wave mean? Couldnt CW and SAM be the same?

@RedKiteRender

It's just the type of radar, older types broadcast in pulses, then wait for the response, CW listen and send at the same time so they update faster.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why would I want it to set to "Bypass" if it disables the system? What does it mean/do exactly. It seems in your video you have set it to "On" at all times.

@RedKiteRender

3 жыл бұрын

disables the CMS system not the dispensers. So it won't run any of the programs, instead dropping one chaff or flare depending on direction pressed. So if the program selected is bad, or the system isn't working right you can quickly bypass it to regain controls of countermeasures.

@@RedKiteRender Thanks for explaining, this "game" is insane. I installed it last week and was hooked instantly. Your videos are very helpful 🙏 Currently I am playing without a HOTAS, I play in VR with 2 controllers. I press all buttons and switches with my hands inside the cockpit, so the only things I have to bind are all HOTAS controls. I am trying to create a scheme for multi layer buttons control with the help of OpenVR2Keys, because the amount of buttons are limited on VR controllers in general.

Redkite, my jammer isn't turning on, and nothing I can find online is helping me figure it out. I'll turn the switch to standby, and there are no indications that it is receiving power. Please help
