    Update as tested: In SEMI mode, CMS Aft gives consent to dispense. In AUTO mode, CMS Aft re-enables AUTO mode dispensing. But in both cases described above, CMS Aft will not use the selected PRGM (1-4) but release chaff only (no flares) since the RWR/ECM cannot tell if an IR missile is inbound and MWS is not functional in this F-16 block. When dispensing is ongoing in SEMI or AUTO mode, CMS Fwd (PRGM 1-4) or CMS Left (PRGM 6) will only work after dispensing completes. So if you need flares, avoid CMS Aft in SEMI or AUTO mode.

  • @valuedhumanoid6574
    @valuedhumanoid6574 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like Wags stated, the default programs are VERY liberal with the CM's. Hell, the slap button (which is program 5 on the DED list) will dispense 20 of each by default when you hit the button! What I do is as part of my preflight set up is to set program 5 to release 5 of each when the slap button is hit. I have the slap button bound to my throttle and I leave the program selector in MANual and the number on 1. If you're in auto, when you get locked up by anything, even if it's not a threat at the moment, it will start pumping out the chaff and flares at a staggering rate. You will be bingo in a minute. Choose a button on your controller that is easy and natural for your fingers to reach. Otherwise you will get distracted and you will forget to use them

    Hi Matt, small point, contrary to what you said near the start, according to the F-16C early access manual (released 24 Oct 21), page 312, "left" on the CMS switch has "no function", not program 6 as you stated. For that reason I have my left set to the slap function. Have I misunderstood ?

    @CameTo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So can anyone tell me, what is the difference between manual mode and semi automatic?
    Either way you have to choose which program to use, and either way you press to dispense.
    I get auto is just gonna dump whatever is selected.
    I really was expecting the a10c style implementation, as the system visuals and controls are almost identical.
    That system does select the appropriate CM based on the situation, and in semi you choose when to dispense

    • @MrDieing
      @MrDieing 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In Manual mode the system does not tell you when you 'should' drop. It does in Semi-Auto. You get the 'Counter' audio cue to tell you that you should probably release some countermeasures. It gives you the audio cue again when the selected program ends and the threat is still there. The choice is still yours if you want to deploy or not. In Auto mode it will basically drop everytime you hear the systems say "Counter". Thats the difference between Semi-Auto and Auto.
