The procedure to set or rearm the countermeasures in the F-14 has not changed in the last couple of years: it wasn't intuitive and it may still confuse many players. This video goes straight to the point and shows how to change the number of chaffs and flares in your aircraft.
To recap the procedure:
1- set the AN/ALE-39 loadout;
2- set your loadout (NB: IIRC two years ago it was not working without loading at least a station);
3- update the AN/ALE-39 counters;
4- hold RESET for at least 5" to reset the internal counter.
I wrote about the AN/ALE-39 and the LAU-138 two years ago, you can find more info here: https://flyandwire.com/2019/05/31/rio-seat-quick-look-at-the-countermeasures-an-ale-39-and-lau-138/
Another great source is, of course, the manual: https://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#an-ale-39-countermeasures-dispensing-set
