RPGs and AT-4's are unguided, I don't see how flares help at all against them.

Do real pilots drop flares against those threats, does anybody know?

Real pilots drop flares on approach and on egress of an attack run, even if no missiles are detected.

Missile detectors look for small things approaching the aircraft at high speed, and will warn the pilot or do any number of automated things for you. This is what the script is simulating. Who knows if an rpg or at4 would trip one of those things.

Yes, but I don't think that they turn incoming RPG's flying direction - black magic

It happened again, even with your new release 1.2.1 no flares are deployed by helis?

To answer your previous question yes i've installed correctly the Flares_config.hpp to the root dta of Arma.

Even tried to put the Flares_config.hpp in the dta betapatch subfolder just to try but no results at all?

Don't kow!

that's really strange since no one else seems to experience that , if you have the pbo in a mod folder , are you sure it is activated correctly in the shorcut ? maybe try to put the pbo in the root addons folder and see if it works, if so the problem is in the shorcut.

Hi, with the latests version of this great addon at least here, the

helicopters (MI-17, AH-1Z, AH-6, MH-6) drop flares and the planes

too; the flares seem more effective on the Harriers than in the AH-1Z's

but i guess that is like a weekends, "a matter of the speed..." what

i still miss really much is the addon signature, to be able of use this

good addon in MP in some dedicated servers, no problem in SP, but

will be great if we could have a chance of use it too in MP. Let's C ya

this is true as rpgs etc arnt guided so the chaff/flares wouldnt turn the missile off course or distract it etc.

Are you serious? Does this mod turn rpgs?

Hi, it's almost well signed, 50%; here it's a graphic showing what

should be included into a "perfectly signed addon" and where to

paste it.

The Thing:

the needed things to have a well signed addon are:

-The Addon (.pbo)

-The Signature (.bisign)

-Your public key (.bikey)

If any of theose three fails, is not present or don't works then the

addon don't works in MP and can be only used in SP, which beeing

so good is a big f*** to can't use it (not just a graphic improvement)

in MP if the server have it. Let's C ya

@william1

Ok man finally your addon works.

Don't ask me what was the cause because even I don't know it, the only thing was that i had to reinstall ArmA a couple of days ago with all the addons, mods... and after do it the flares were working perfectly.... ? ? maybe previously i had in my ArmA something making conflict with your addon ? ? ? who knows? ? ?

Anyway now it's ok

[wipman 1]

Hi, it's nothing, a pleasure to be able to use your flares in dedicated

servers; the gameplay changes alot. From use it, to not use it. So

thanks to you man. Let's C ya

Any chance you can make a chaff countermeasure for radar-homing systems like the Shilka?

Hi, after a while i've noticed that the flares don't produce any light,

and that's a small loose; could you William1 make 'em bright?, it's

the only thing that i miss on 'em aside of make the RPG's/ATGM's

turn too as if they were guided by other method than the human

eye and the shoter's brain calculations. Let's C ya

i tested them by night and they bright with a yellow tone , it's not a bright as the sun but you can see them, also i made the test and they are as brilliant as Mandoble's flares.
