Flares in OA (how to remove or add?)

The new flare system in OA, how do I add or remove a certain number of flares? Is it handled like a normal weapon with magazines or is it handled another way?

Has anybody figured it out yet. Some vehicles you seem to be able to use this removeWeapon "CMFlareLauncher" and it will go away, but others (AH-1Z for example) will retain the flare launcher regardless.

Have you checked the output of Array = weapons vehicleName to see if its listed there?

but others (AH-1Z for example) will retain the flare launcher regardless.

It might be that they are being added via a script. Try a spawn with a sleep before removing them:

removeCM = this spawn {sleep 1; _this removeWeapon "CMFlareLauncher"}

no that didn't do the trick either.

Well, take a look at the config for those vehicles then. They may be using a different flare weapon classname.

It's odd, removing indeed doesnt work. The config looks like this:

class AH1Z: AH1_Base
{
 radarType = 4;
 LockDetectionSystem = 8;
 IncommingMisslieDetectionSystem = 16;
 weapons[] = {"CMFlareLauncher"};
 magazines[] = {"120Rnd_CMFlareMagazine"};
};

Even a "removeallweapons this" in the init didn't removed it.

BIS wants us to be confused :) It's all a part of them getting some lols.
