    Is it possible to perform reliable BVR when flying Solo with Jester?

    in DCS: F-4E Phantom

    I think the issue is simple. Players just aren’t used to the F-4Es pulse radar. 

    They’re coming from modern fighters with intuitive control setups and look down/shoot down modes. God mode on the screen, as it were. 
    Then they hop in the F-4E and go “WTF” when they can’t easily search targets, can’t effectively sort, or effectively employ the APQ-120/AIM-7 at AMRAAM range. The hope is Jester can somehow bridge this capability gap out of the box. 

    That said, Combat Tree will change this to an extent in the next block coming out.

    I would build on this to say. A large frustration comes from getting the AWACS Picture/Bogie Dope and know enemy Airspeed, Heading, Altitude and now needing to tell jester to narrow his search without him doing it on his own. secondly not grasping that head-on a MIG-21 is a small RCS and wont be picked up easily out past 20ish nm, meanwhile a Bear is super easy to pickup.

    I'm tempted to buy it right away, but I'm also worried about how long it'll be in EA and if the developers will can fix any problems quickly.

    Its software, there will be no problems, only unintended functionality.

    Ha, I feel like I've been burnt by the DCS hype-train too many times to count. At this time last year, the release of the CH-47 was "imminent" and then was delayed for a few months seemingly out of nowhere. I've learned that no matter how much I like the subject matter (and I definitely like the Corsair), it is good to manage my own expectations until the product is actually released.

    seeeeeeeeeeee, I would agree with you because I was the same way about the Phantom. But yet, here I am, getting stoked that we might be getting close to having both my favorite jet and prop in the sim.

    As I said in December 2023, we have the right to an AI version to start and perhaps we will have a pilotable version in a few years.

    Combat Tree?

    I know its not, before I chimed into the thread,  I was doing this constantly thinking it would make Mr. Jester realize there was something out there. Now I just use it to help me see my tankers on the scope when jester doesnt lock them up.

    Jester already performs IFF by himself constantly and you also can already ask him to IFF explicitly.

    When Combat Tree is added, I am sure Jester will also operate it so you get to benefit from it - if that answers your question 🙂

    That does, I have IFF mapped to my throttle and have been playing around with having Jester IFF the sky if I know something is out in front of me but he doesnt see it on radar.
