quick update, a community member cleared this up, maybe this will help.. " if you IFF and it doesn't turn green, you can assume it's an enemy it'll only show a diamond if you get more than one source saying it's enemy " i remember wags talking about this aswell in his datalink video

might be a stupid question but have u turned on NCTR ? IFF is working flawlessly on my end

I notice when flying jester in a pvp server.. he always seems to pick up stingers and enemy sam as i fly by.. so meaning he knows their there... just thought it would be a cool feature to tell jester to mark this point on the datalink

is it possible in the feature, jester marks enemy sam after calling mud/dirt?

these 3 are probably the most common use air to air module, im really trying to improve on my dog fighting tactics/awareness and skill as a whole.. any tips and tricks are greatly appreciated! certain situations that i suck at.. - having a bogey on my six.. how can stay defensive but slowly trying to be the guy thats behind you. - i know a guy is behind this mountain, he doesn't know im here, how can i get the jump on him? - im at advantage by being 5-8k altitude higher than him, we both see each other and hot on each other... how should i approach this as we get closer to our missile range?

this thread was just more so my observation rather than a rant! very satisfied with out they implemented jester tbh... knowing its EA, cant wait what implementations they have for us ;D

by any chance anyone here manage to replace the f18 after burner sound with the f15 AB ? ( with the sound of the detent ) not very tech savvy and heard i will need to change some .lua files to make it work but also risking not passing IC... was curious if anyone has tried this and made it work? ( cant try atm due to some issue with not being able to download FC3 )

Because balancing Jester will be hard from being close to Human RIO to a hacker... Knowing how DCS spotting is really poor right now, Jester can pick up enemies while in dogfight, when in certain situation a human rio wouldnt.... for example, im flying over an area and jester calls out dirt/mud... stinger to my 5 oclock.... were a human rio wouldnt have seen a guy with a stinger in the mountains while were flying over it lol

Things that are easy to replay, so that we can avoid em...

for me its the opposite, i hate hearing that whining noise

+1 everything in the tomcat is amazing but jester lol

Stuff like Needing to target lock instantly but your forced to navigate between 1. jester menu needs to be open 2. Needing to select Radar actions 3. finally being able to target lock As for guys without RIO's... not only we rely heavily on our situation awareness but also relying Jester's feedback and action constantly... I know its EA and im sure there are a ton of more issues that need to be address before even thinking about this, so i just thought of putting it out there! Also would be really cool to have jester reset his call outs when his spazzing out since theres multiple nails under 20nm infront of you and around you... he sometimes calls a bra then he said "oops my bad, thats not the correct info" then u have to wait till he finishes the 2nd BRA call BEFORE he can tell you if the the you lock WITHIN 20nm is friendly or enemy lol

fastest,biggest and the sexiest !

Jester IFF Say the server your playing in host a uh1 on the red side along with the f14... if your flying the f14 on the red side and u happen to lock a friendly uh1 jester wont say anything if u have a lock on him ( friendly/enemy ) not sure about the other heli modules but i've gotten 2 team kills due to relying on jester to IFF a heli im locking and receiving no feedback at all.. Jester being overwhelm when theres multiple bogey around you I have experience jester starts to "panic" and starts spouting random shit when i have enemy on my 6, enemy on my nose... he starts to get confuse as to whats the next appropriate call out should be... sometimes it becomes inaccurate for example... when im in a turn fight.. jester would call 1 o'clock high but in my vision his 11 o'clock high... Jester easily losing lock / can't lock even though their still in your TID screen The one i hate the most... Jester locking the farthest away in ur radar.... say theres enemy 30nm in ur radar, another enemy 45nm, and an enemy 60 nm away from you.... you tell jester to STT lock "Enemy target ahead" he decides to lock the enemy thats 45nm away lol Jester giving out False calls.... sometimes you get missile warning, jester say fights on... but in reality its ur friend that fired... that just merged with you lol

For the R Eng bug.. it just happens once u loaded in the slot and do ur normal routine for a cold start up... its a rare occurrence for me.. only happened once for me.. but kept hearing chatter about this so i figured i should post this ( even tho its no big deal ) for the L Eng mid flight shutdown bug, i have yet to come across this... only heard 1 guy that said it happen to him so......

I know many people have gotten the R Eng Bug during cold start... only way to fix it is by restarting dcs ( some said u can select new airframe slots but never tried it ) Now the L Eng bug haven't happened to me but heard it in discord and the guy said everything was running smooth, it randomly just happened.

got this off a community discord dedicated for PvP "Tip for anyone trying to master BFM in the Tomcat ( @mad rabbit ) you can basically win any fight as long as you don't exceed 15 units AOA. Just peg the AOA indicator at 15 (it's left side under the HUD, 15 is the middle of the indicator), full burner and hold the turn, you'll reel them in after a couple of turns. If you go over 20 units AOA you kill all your speed and you'll die, any less than 10 and you don't turn tight enough and you'll die. try and maintain .6 mach and 15 units AOA" By a guy in discord name Whiplash

Devs havent implemented the ability for jester to use lantirn mode... BUT theres a guy in this community that made that happen!! it passes IC so u can play it in multiplayer aswell https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303929/

put ur flaps up.. ur flaps are what controls the slat aswell ( AFAIK )

wait the RWR on the f14 rings doesnt actually mean distance/range?

OOF.. and yea the manual is lacking on some parts.. or maybe chuck's guide have spoiled us too much

Agreed! sometimes when theres enemy nails on the TID, he doesnt seem to want to lock it..

carrier groove? what is this

awesome stuff! i wanted to subscribe but already said i was... looking ur upload history, u were that guy that finally got me to understand and utilize the radar for the f15 and the f18 !! looking forward to more videos on the tomcat !

u need to buy to play as RIO
