Was there a sticky to discuss the moron/idiot Jester anywhere? I thought there was one, but cant find it, so maybe I was mistaken. :thumbup:

Always manual startup. No changes to ejection options. I cant go in the backseat as Im playing MP for the Majority.

No shit. In history Jester AI didn't control the RIO pit either. You can turn Ejection on and off with the jester menu, either setting has led to him ejecting both seats. I dont mind if I'm plummeting to the ground, but when I'm on finals with a damaged yet controllable jet, its a bit annoying

Can this PLEASE be taken away? There is not reason to have jester ejecting both crew members. I even have it turned off- so maybe it is bugged, however Jester ejects for nothing. Both engines going, about to land "shit": Eject. WTF. I don't see why AI should ever have the ability to eject the pilot.

Often, in both SP and MP - though I mainly play MP. CTD when locking something using PAL. Diamond snaps- instant CTD. Its not totally consistent- sometimes it works sometime CTD. No logs. Is this a known issue, confirmed bug? Searching the forums I can find nothing that suggests this has been confirmed, I know many people who have this problem. If this is a repeat thread then sorry! Thanks!! :thumbup:

4x CTD in 2 days for me when PAL lock on a target, not consistent, always seems to be locking hornets and harrier. Very annoying. Has this been confirmed by devs? I assume not

I play on Blue flag PG were the tomcat is on the USSR side, so flying alongside su27, mig 29 etc. Opponents are Hornets, harriers and a10 etc. So whilst flying i noticed that Jester makes incorrect IFF, mainly in STT lock. If I lock a Hornet, harrier, A10, he calls "thats a buddy". I can cleary see the target through the TCS I can see its one of the aforementioned aircraft on an opposite coalition. If I lock an su27 in stt for example - Jester calls "thats a bandit", the aircraft is on MY coalition. I assume that Jester if therefore is calling bandit or buddy, based on A/C model, which is very annoying, especially when flying as an Iranian f14. I dont know if this has been mentioned, but it may require looking at.

Still getting lots of crashes, mainly on MP vs F18

IM still getting a lot of crashes, mainly in MP as RIO. Also when joining as rio inflight all my controls are my pilot mappings and nothing is in sync

Looking through the manual, under the CAP section, it say that under target data there should be a mandatory attack button, which: "MAND ATTK (mandatory attack) set on a target forces the WCS to include it into the TWS prioritisation for AIM-54 engagement" I cannot find this button on the CAP, would be useful as I find sometimes the WCS does not give me the targets that I want. Am i being dumb? I can find Do Not Attack- but i want to manually prioritise targets sometimes, IE the 6 I want to select, not reordering the launch sequence using next launch. thanks

Hi, dunno if its just me, I cannot get the pipper or fixed net sight to appear on the ASP sight. I have turned on all relevant switches, played with brightness - nothing. This is only on cold start - no problems with hot start

Constant Crash to desktop here since the latest patch. No problems before the patch, Could play for hours. The CTD means I'm not getting any crash logs, so no idea of cause.

Complete opposite for me. Before the patch I had no problems, just slightly long loadtimes to get into the Tomcat. Now dumps to desktop all the ****ing time.

Today I tried to join as a RIO to one of my squadrons planes- I entered the pit, but I had not control for the RIO, all my control were for my pilot setup. I couldnt fly the plane, but all my hotas bindings were for the pilot pit, ie I could select sidewinders etc. Another squadron mate had the same thing. dont know if this has been reported. Thanks Fish

Finding I cant be bothered to fly the hornet atm. Much preferring older jets like Mig19. Tomcat is a good mixture of old and new - so I bought it. I prefer instruments to HUD

Need a tissue?

Normally I just press the MPCD button that says gun and it cycles between guns and sa. No problems here

Noticed some reverse switch logic, radio/radio compass switch reversed, also day/night switch mode for the radar - ie they work opposite to what you would expect. So Radio actually works the radio compass and radio compass the radio. Cutoff switches on the left panel, for oil etc seem to have no effect.

No joy here - server not in list, when I try to connect via IP it says server offline.

Its taken me a while but just starting to get the hang of the E-Bracket stuff, i get the idea but also struggle to get it stabilised. -not using the stick to pitch just feels weird to me at the moment, I'm only practicing carrier landings rather than airfields tho so I think its taking me longer.

too many variables to pin it down - users Gamma, reshade, time of day in game etc. My cockpits are never that dark.

Hi, Will the radar gun-sight work similar to the Sabre/F-5 in providing a lead solution? I've not really seen the gun-sight used with radar much in the videos I've seen. Thanks!

the campaign was made when trees were not collidable i believe, so it probably needs some tweaking. Would not surprise me if AI do not see trees as obstacles.

Shame, I cant fly this without getting major eye and headache - flicker flicker flicker. Hopefully fixed soon!

I have to disagree on this one.
