"Jester additions and improvements" Please tell me you guys added a command "jester, Repeat Last" !!

what does this mean for us who only flies with jester?

Can you tell jester to switch pulse doppler to pulse in the wheel?

nvm, guess it wont matter next patch.

he seem to be able to control the radar, and have the ability to lock targets as the pilot, and with jester on board. Was wondering if anyone know how to do this?

I was referring to text chats, announcements, and just a community for guys who love cold war era jets to talk about it, in real time. Also another way for guys to tell others to hop on the server to try and populate it. Not for ingame communication, since srs and ts is better suited for that.

Just wondering, do you guys usually have the radar turned on for f5 and mig21, to try and pick up contacts? or completely have it off ? also was wondering, why isnt there discord for this amazing server?

I honestly hope they do. I mean its pretty much what should of been included a long time ago. Though im sure devs had this idea, but is limited to ED's coding/engine capabilities?

While i agree that RIO skill in terms of managing BVR will never be on par with human minds, its silly to have the current jester act as if this is 1920 and he needs to write me an email to tell me where the contact position in a middle of a dogfight lol. Overall Jester current state is "ok" but i wish they buff him up a bit. Its better to make changes and act accordingly to the community feedback, rather than sit there and do nothing.

Would be cool to be able to ask jester "What altitude is he at" "Current target range " also anyone else realize that jester seems a bit slow in communicating with you during a dogfight? When a enemy is on ur 6 and jester spots him, by the time he tells you that, the enemy is probably already on ur 9 o clock. Was wondering if devs intended on this slow responsive action from jester, because real time feedback might be too op for the pvp community? Heres a video of how Pilot and RIO interacts with each other

does anyone have a guide for this? the youtube annotation thing doesnt show up so im basically just watching him do bomb runs lol.

Apparently when you spawn in from a hotstart, airborne f16, the voice feedback for employing chaff and flare works. But when you cold start it doesn't work.

I've noticed others are having this issue aswell, so the problem is that when your in the middle of ins alignment, and you happend to rearm beforehand, when the bombs/missiles are starting to attached to your pylons, your planes jitter a bit.. then your alignment somehow breaks in the process.. others said they fixed it by switching to stores alignment, and others said reslotting was their only fixable workaround.

Would it be possible to have jester IFF check command? Sometimes when you lock up a target, he stays silent and doesnt give you any IFF. so you have to revert to whats shown in your datalink, and if able, look at your tv to determine what type of plane.. but sometimes that doesn't work because that server hosts the same jets on both sides. Also other times, jester told me a target was hostile so i engaged it and just before splash jester tells me theyre friendly lol. Having a command to tell jester to IFF check, would be a great addition to the list. Theres a AWACS command thats been implemented recently, but only seem to be within ED modules, f16, f18 specifically.. and that is to be able to DECLARE, is this also possible to include with the f14?

what does that actually do?

you do realize that w/e open beta gets, you guys get a week or 2 later? so no matter if the open beta had a recent bug or CTD game breaking issues.. you guys will also get it lol

just curious, why do you use stable version? from my time in dcs, theres no difference with the stable version, because you still get the bugs from the open beta version lol

Would be a nice small Quality of life feature.

Would be cool if we can save loadout from the rearm and refuel window, instead of needing to go to exit out of the server then going to mission editor and doing it there

the keybind for it is messed up, so doesn't work unless you edit it replace AN_ALR56 with RWR should look like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/420225846196961280/671582025152724992/unknown.png DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\keyboard If you want to bind it to your hotas, you have to edit it on joystick instead of keyboard file.

i just hope you guys don't pull through with it, because you think the community will backlash, any implements/changes are welcome in my eyes, just have to tune it accordingly to how the community feels. Ty!

I just bought the full version just today, so im very new! i'll be happy to indulge any info :) also about that trackir thing, that is something i need ! but how does voice attack recognize if i want it done on the trackir progam, instead of VA thinking its for DCS? dm me on discord MechSauce#5135

i recently just got into VA, was wondering if anyone has a profile for the jf17? so far im just adding stuff as i get more experienced with the jeff, like "Jettison" it will open up the cover and push the jettison button for a2a engagement. what other useful commands can i use on the jeff with VA?

Yea that works too, but i felt like the devs are a bit shy to tuning jester because of how might the community reacts? hopefully we see some buffs in the next patch.

Im sure many of us solo flyers here have been frustrated way too many times, in all aspect scenarios when trying to do normal workflow, and all you can hear "Can't do" from jester. I just wish theres more QOL to jester's menu, capability, etc At the moment, jester's wheel is a hassle, theres too many categories, sub categories and another category for that sub category lol, what i propose is the ability to make specific own keybinds to a specific jester action - Radar functions such as, making jester increase radar elevation up 2,5,10 degree increments - increasing jester situation awareness, why is there a delay for jester to take 3-5 second to tell me that the bandit is 3'oclock high? - IFF, the most important imo.. can't tell you how angry and frustrated i get when i finally get jester to lock but wont IFF check, thats from both Datalink hafu to voice comm feedback. Straight up silence.. ( or atleast make it available to the f14 of the DECLARE command in awacs, i know only the f16 and the f18 can do this... idk if its an ED module only thing ) - Jester's Counter measure is also messy, jester would use the counter measure when i can easily defeat the missile by simple BFM or if theres a mountain cover to use. Overall amazing module, jester is my only true gripe. Hopefully they do what most balancing devs do in other genre, and that is buff jester on its AI abilities then see how the community feels and go from there.
