Thanks for your Tutorials. I really run into desperation while learning the F-16C. Your Tutorials saved my life, and a lot of time :D

Back again with some more additional info:
-The CMDS systems official designation is ALE-47 CMDS, it is installed in some form in pretty much all US military aircraft that have CMDS equipped.

-The O1, O2, CH, FL payload switches do not actually turn off the count for each type of munition when the corresponding switch is off; they only prevent the selected payload from dispensing when in the off position. Your counts will always be displayed so long as system power is on and you are not in bypass (more on that in moment)

-AUTO mode will dispense countermeasures upon receipt of a dispense signal from RWR, JMR or MWS regardless of user input, the only way to prevent countermeasure dispensing is to turn off the corresponding payload switch. SEMI mode works exactly as described by Cap.

-BYP (Bypass) mode, is an emergency function used only when there is a failure of the systems main processor. Placing the system in BYP will bypass (Hence the name) the processor, and send dispense signals directly to the countermeasures dispensers. While in bypass, no counts will be displayed on the main panel, as the processor is the unit responsible for keeping track of how many sticks of chaff/flare are in each dispenser.

I was almost about to comment on the "panic button", but glad you showed it at the end of the video. In Falcon BMS, this button is refered to as "Slap Switch".

I guess it has that nickname because the pilot uses it by very rapidly taking his left hand out of the throttle and giving a quick jab with the side of his fist, and then back to holding the throttle.

Anyone else distracted by the shadow moving across the panel while he's talking? Well done, DCS!

3:12 TL;DR:
Chaff! Flare!
Chaff! Flare!
Chaff! Flare!
Low!
Out!

From my experience it’s wierd in that cockpit with nothing visible on the canopy. It just feels weird to me like the canopy is missing almost. Makes visibility fantastic though! Great vid cap!! Great channel man. 🤘😎

Thank you so much you are helping me so muck keep up the good work

The CMDS is a bit of a pain in the ass. I like the panick switch and will bind that tonight.

[scorpgaming]

Mine doesn't have "GO" how do I enable it?

[LowKayy]

I Can't get the Chaff/Flare Feedback to work. Does someone have a Fix?

[MarcinW]

Thank you! Big help! I was wandering how to set programs to separate flares from chaffs. I wish it could be like Program1 on CMSUp and Program2 on CMSDown for an example. I don't like to waste flares when radar guided SAM is on me (edit): I know I could switch those off for a time being, but when it gets hot, it could be hard to look for a mouse/keyboard/VR controller unless... There is an option to map these two switches to HOTAS CMS switch, that would be great.

Any idea why my status does not say go ?

[cobra]

Does anyone know why I don’t get the warning sound for a middle lock? Is there anything I can do to get the sound?

[Shibiwow]

Hey Cap.
You can actually edit program 1 to a custome setting as well as the slap buttion (program 5) chaff flare dispurse buttion .
Its in the eagle dynamics/dcs open and edit the lua file in that folder.
At least i beleive thats the correct path.
I have two detailed vids on how to do this workaround on my chan.

I'm ok with 2 chaff 2 flares button. "If he dies...he dies" meme

[cardwell]

do you have to do this every sing time you load into the aircraft so just so it doesn't dump a ton of chaff flair, or will it save it for the next time you load in?

[LitoMike]

i love how on the window thingy (idk the name) it literally says B008

[Blututhninja]

Is the slap button burst interval, or sequence interval?

[dr.stop]

I’m sorry but there is actually missile attack system it’s just next to the counter measures its low power button to the left off cms

[Youda]

It isn't possible to fire flares or chaffs separately?
