Being tired of flarebug that still not fixed from darken ages, made some quick work-around to tweak&hud.
Currently we getting flarebugs due to 1 mag of 60 flares and maglinked weapons(flares and counter are seperate weapons), bf2 can't into logic :(
My idea was to create another system that won't suffer from 1 mag effect even in theory, so the most simply solution were to get 10 mags of 6 flares. Also HUD.
heli flares&counter component in .tweak file(applies to all helis)
\vehicles\air\cf_the_chinook\cf_the_chinook.tweak
hudelements for chinook
hud\hudsetup\vehicles\air\hudelementsuh60.con
Same can be applied to other jets&helis.
Here is an example how it works:
