It is due to a bug in the hydraulic system. The AAR door thinks the pressure in the Utility Hydraulic line is zero until you start up the left engine. Thanks, fixed.

The aircraft has plenty of delivery modes to choose from, they are described in detail in our manual. You could for example use Laydown or Offset. Loft of course works as well. If you happen to have the pod equipped (I guess you don't), you can also use TGT FIND very effectively.

Indeed, the Phantom doesnt support the raindrops for technical reasons yet.

Possibly you overheated/broke the seat? It must only be used for a few seconds per minute. There is a warning on top of the seat about that and in our manual. But yeah, looking forward to a track or something once you are back :)

Thanks, this one is known to us

Thanks. This is a tricky one, I am having a very hard time finding the target with the radar myself here as well. It is not really a "Jester issue" and more that this is a really difficult situation to pick up that small Mig-21 coming straight ahead and masking itself behind the terrain in a slight look-down attitude. I can see the return pop up occassionally for one sweep but then vanish again on the very next sweep. Even if I fine-tune the antenna angle and gain manually, the target usually vanishes immediately again. It is a bit better after telling Jester to change the display to 25 nm NARROW (Jester Wheel > Radar > Scan Type), but still very difficult. The target can then be spotted fairly well manually at around 6 nm. Jester spots it a second later at around 5 nm. The best I was able to achieve in this situation by operating the radar manually was spotting it at 12 nm with 25 nm NARROW and descending a bit. Jester found it himself at 10 nm then, after he tweaked the gain a bit to make the target appear for longer than one sweep.

Both of them require electrical power. The AAR door additionally needs hydraulic power. Perhaps you did not have the power you needed? Can you reproduce it and possibly send a short SP track showing the issue? Cheers

I dont have a screenshot or something for you, but the project did not stall or anything. Otherwise we would have told you. You will all get your Eurofighter once it is ready. Cheers

Yup, it is still on the list of tracked issues. You will see it in the changelog once it got fixed [emoji106]

Yeah, we have created some form of shortcuts to the binds (defined in bind_dsl.lua) [emoji106] The good thing is that the system still supports the "classic style" as well, so one can still put in manual binds and it would pick them up (as seen for the standard pitch/roll inputs somewhere at the top of the file)

The topic of this thread has not been addressed for this patch. But there are several other radar improvements, especially related to Jester. When you say he can not find targets, could you try to reproduce the issue in a quick SP track and hand that in? That would help us a lot to improve him further.

Most likely because at that point you had no power connected yet and used the "Crew Chief (Hand Signals)" menu. After connecting power, the Crew Chief can talk to you

Not yet, it's on the list :)

The switch on the throttle is a 3-way switch where the afft position (out, extend) is springloaded to return back to center (stop). The bind mimics that behavior.

Thanks, this has been fixed for the upcoming patch already Ive seen this report only once so far and for that user a DCS Repair fixed the issue.

Agreed. Sadly there isn't too much that can be done besides sending in the files to AV software producers for whitelisting. Which has been done by ED, us and other thirdparties weeks ago already.

(note that you do have an autopilot that can do exactly that)

This smells like a Mod-problem. Do you have any mods installed? (Even if they are unrelated to the Phantom)

Airspeed callouts during dogfight are planned. During AG they are already added for the next patch. For landing, he can call out altitude, soeed doesn't matter, you are supposed to ride the AoA tone down. (IRL WSOs didnt do these assisting callouts during landing actually)

Indeed. I usually go Radar/IFF to close it.

Hard to say without seeing what you have entered. Usually it means that what you entered does not yield a ballistic solution. For example too short range or too low for the distance and so on.

Ah, then the theme selection is in the upcoming patch :) Your other suggestions are all very valid, thanks.

Jester will support that mode natively soon. Its already in the manual: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/jester/combat/radar.html#dogfight

The inflight manual has a dark-mode which automatically activates at night. You can also force it during the day by using the Special Option "HB UI Theme: DARK". The manual does have an acronym page: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/abbreviations.html If you spot anything that is unclear and not covered on that page, please take a note so that we can complete it [emoji106] Happy learning and enjoy the aircraft! [emoji108] Mousehover tooltips are a neat idea though. Ill put it on the list :)
