Title: Flares?
Post by Gecko6 on Apr 11^th, 2011 at 5:41am

Has anyone integrated a flare ejection system on our Buff? I feel pretty naked flying over the target area and not have anything to do but fly strait and level.

Not sure if there is a chaff / Flare button but I recall seeing one. It is late so I might not be thinking correctly. : )

Oh I have Weapon and that would make sense. Gurus of Weapon please use your wisdom and uberness to create a buttload of flares for my Buff?

Been done look at this site and adapt the effects to your B52. Will have to change some parameters in the aircraft.cfg file to suit the B52 jetterson location.

[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0 = -5.00, -4.00, -3.00, fx_c17flrL
smoke.1 = -5.00, -4.00, 3.00, fx_c17flrR
smoke.2 = -5.00, -4.00, -3.00, fx_c17flrL
smoke.3 = -5.00, -4.00, 3.00, fx_c17flrR

Press the i key to activate.

Took me all of 5 minutes, make this change to your aircraft.cfg file after placing the c17 flare effects into your Effects folder. As stated use the 'i' key to activate the flares.

[smokesystem]
smoke.0 =-20, -59, -6, cs52_smoke
smoke.1 = �0, -34, -6, cs52_smoke
smoke.2 = �0, �34, -6, cs52_smoke
smoke.3 =-20, �59, -6, cs52_smoke
smoke.4 = -5.00, -4.00, -3.00, fx_c17flrL
smoke.5 = -5.00, -4.00, 3.00, fx_c17flrR
smoke.6 = -5.00, -4.00, -3.00, fx_c17flrL
smoke.7 = -5.00, -4.00, 3.00, fx_c17flrR

or you can try these, places flares under the wings.

smoke.4 = 5, -20.00, -10.00, fx_c17flrL //Port Inner - Sprays Left
smoke.5 = -26.00, -78.00, -10.00, fx_c17flrR //Port outer - Sprays Right
smoke.6 = 5, 20.00, -10.00, fx_c17flrR //Stbd Inner - Sprays Right
smoke.7 = -26.00, 78.00, -10.00, fx_c17flrL //Stbd outer - Sprays Left
