Can flare ammo be added over time?

I want a flare launcher than regenerates one flare per 10 seconds, is that possible?

    Not that I know of.
    But there are some workaround, I'd put multiple flare dispenser on the build and then activate them one by one over time so that it'll look like flares pop out of thin air but it's actually been there the whole time, just unusable.
    That's about the idea, the code I haven't think of it yet but I know there is a FT code called "Time" that we can use.

    @Hiimakeplanes I just looked at the flares again, the only way you can set that flare off is to press the flare countermeasure button on the screen. I'm sorry I sort of wasted your time. So ultimately the answer to your question is no...... :(

    @Zaineman so your saying if I make a piston and attach a flare to it and make the pistol contentiously extend and retract i can make this happen?

    @Hiimakeplanes I just want you to think differently not use those formulas try reading it again only slowly, and don't try to memorize just listen

    Thats tricky. But it might be possible. I don't know how but it might be possible. I think somewhere in this game, some one programed / made a timer. I tell you what. Just think about this and follow my logic ok ? Look at ANY one of my cockpits and there is a warning label the says "gear down" and a beacon light beneath it and the beacon will light up ONLY if the follow is true the following is under INPUT on the beacon light, in other words THIS is what makes the beacon light up. (IAS > 100 & AltitudeAgl > 300 & LandingGear=0 & A1=1) So it is saying the following, if your speed is greater 100 AND your altitude is greater than 300 than light up the beacon. SO, what you want to do is change the Input on the flare to perhaps a timer and maybe say everytime the timer is dividable by 10 perfectly then shoot a flare. Again, I DON'T KNOW HOW to do this, I just want you to start to think in these terms. I hope this made sense. Feel free to look at anyone of my cockpits. And again I speaking of the Landing grear warning lights and labels. They are both programmed the same way. I just want you to see whats possible. Z :)

    What exactly are you asking , what do want to see happen. Do you want the flare to autoshoot every 10 seconds ? @Hiimakeplanes tell me exactly
