I mean, who said this? Are you guys really reading what I am trying to explain? I AM using chaff programs, problem is Jester is not using it if you don't follow his instructions. So what I am asking to Heatblur is add a tiny-little-damned "HEY JESTER, DROP CHAFF AND USE A PROGRAM IF I SELECTED ONE BEFORE" command. And as a two crew airplane this does makes sense(more than controlling fricking radar elevation in the menu anyway). Nothing more, nothing less. Yeah I am not allowing Jester to use flares either, way too slow for a dogfight situtation but.. Jesus christ. Please try to understand what I am trying to explain here. And that's the topic we are talking about right? And yeah, yesterday night pretty sure notched a SA-6 launch at 9ish nm, feet wet, missile went stupid and passed right below me and exploded a second later. Back to the topic, please.

You are missing the point here, I am not asking Jester to make the right calls regarding breaking into a evasive maneuvers, it's not his job. The job he should do is releasing chaff whenever I am defensive(if he spotted the missile ofc) or let us command him. Again...Setting a program to Jester is not the problem, he-does-not-use-them-if-you-don't-follow-his-directions. Problem is "every time it feels necessary". He doesn't feel like it %95 of the time. Oh btw, you should definitely use chaffs against the SAM's, oh my...

That doesn't fix anything. You can change the flare mode all you want but if you were fighting the bandit 20 nm away and naturally using the chaff as a pilot and all of a sudden bandit close by launches at you an IR missile, are you going to change that in the Jester menu? Nope, doesn't make any sense, it's a two-crew aircraft. You should be able to command him to release CM.

Hey guys, Title. This needs to be addressed. Even though Jester knows there is a missile in the air he's just too reluctant to use any kind of countermeasure. Missile, 12 o'clock, break right. Okay, but I need to turn left because there is a mountain pass below, so I turn left. Jester sits idle. Breaking right, drops chaff for a second or two and stops. There should be a key bind to command Jester to run a chaff or flare program, or run the selected one. This shouldn't be that hard, right? If there is something missing that I should do instead, please enlighten me. Thanks!

Hello Flappie, - Server: Grayflag |DFA| discord.gg/deathfromabove(207.109.170.170:10308) - AMD Driver: 22.10.01.03

Uhm, might be dumb thing to ask but do you have double stage trigger? It's possible that both stages are bind to weapon release.

Well thank you guys so much for all the replies, learned a lot. And I want to apologize to Heatblur because I thought they did a bad job on Jester. I was wrong. My failures came from my misunderstanding how the Cat work, especially AWG9. After trying and reading so hard, last night I went 8-0 with Jester on a PVP server, lol. Cat is a beast(if you know how to use it) and Heatblur is just steps ahead any developer working on FF modules.

Hey guys, I am a single Cat pilot without a human RIO. Currently trying to find ways to counter 90 degree notch position other pilots do against the F-14. What are the general tactics you use to prevent(or..you know, try to prevent) notch? I usually descend to eliminate ground filter and offset at about 300-350 kts but fail to counter notch. Thanks!

Is it just me or Jester improved significantly since last patch finding targets, handling radar and locking them? Still lose STT pretty much 5 times out of 10 but I don't mind that, I know the AWG-9 is not the best in that department. What do you think?
