Don't post NATOPS, post your bug reports in the correct forum.

Even then you could have noticed... :) "MP. Fixed crash on the taxi in the multiseater aircraft."

The F-14s nav system can only store 3 WPs (plus FP, IP, ST, HB and a few areas) http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#navigation-computations

That's DCS AI wingmen since forever. Nothing HB can fix.

Haha, man this is neat - all my favorite DCS youtubers in one package. Awesome!

Yeah, I know that - must have misunderstood that, though :)

This, probably :D

Answer that for yourself - disappointed in how it progresses? Fine, don't buy ED early access products anymore, lessons learned. Easy, huh? I think the progress of the module has been very good so far, so a lull right now doesn't impact me.

If I bought an *early access* smartphone, which has been clearly advertised as incomplete, possibly introducing bugs over the early access period and the company asking for help in filing concise bug reports, then yes - it would be acceptable. It's almost like how ED introduced the F-18 early access, now that I think of it...:renske:

Just wanted to acknowledge: putting up "Search and engage in zone" on top did the trick, I died in several, colorful ways yesterday when all enemy flights decided to roll good on their spawn chance. :D

I was wondering about the sequence, my reasoning was: "if I put engage first, and there is nothing yet in the zone, it will orbit and not look further". Obivously it is the other way round! :D Will mix it up, the correct types of aircraft are selected! Will also double-check on if the task is correctly activated (which I suppose it is, because they are orbiting fine). Thanks for the heads-up!

Hey guys! So, I set up a few easy training missions for a buddy of mine so I can teach him all things DCS, and I put a few randomly spawning adversary flights in there. They take off, at the next waypoint they get the following advanced waypoint actions: - Orbit (circle, at a set altitude) - RTB on bingo fuel = on - Search then engage in zone (with the Zone centered on the waypoint they are orbiting) When trying it out, I engaged a pair of MiG-29s circling, but they didn't engage me as I would have suspected. What may be the reasons for this? - I got an A-50 circling a short distance off, so they even should have AWACS (do AI need to be on the same freq?) - the patrols are of varying skill, but even the higher ones didn't engage me - could this be just a matter of chance? There is no RoE set to green or anything, so I can't wrap my head around it right now.

You guys got Jester tuned on AM or FM?

HB already has acknowledged pretty much all of these to be fixed during EA

Awesome, thanks a lot!!

Wait, what - do I understand that correctly, that there won't ever be an option to use both the Jester Menu Wheel through it's hotkey *and* AI RIO? That's a shame and a few bucks wasted, for that is not usable for me. Still, thanks for the great work. :cry:

Yeah, but he shopped it up to 21:9, which is beyond my skills :megalol:

Think you could upload the source file without your menu over it? :)

Man, I *knew* I had seen that thread! Thanks, buddy! :)

So, uhm - I just grabbed me an Acer Predator X34P, and while I was fine with the F-14 title background pic on my old 24" Dell 16:10, it now looks like ass. Any of you guys got neat ultrawide F-14 pics lying around, by chance? :) Much appreciated!

That's DCS AI right there - the wingmen in every module are pretty clueless on how to keep formation without a weirdly binary throttle setting, IMHO.

Why are you yelling, pls stahp

Spent several hours flying as both Pilot and RIO w/o issue yesterday.

The scan mode is still there (as in: the Sidewinder sensor head still moving), just the diamond on the HUD is not moving. Working as intended, fixed in one of the last Hotfixes.

Hey Hollywood! Things finally settled down yesterday with all keybindings intact and the AI RIO working. While you have done a fantastic job again, I really feel the need to emphasize once more that an option for both AI RIO and the Jester Wheel is, IMHO, sorely needed. While VAICOM works very well for me and me being rather fluent in english, I am still no native speaker and from time to time voice recognition will fail me. Even with lots of training and custum recorded pronunciations it will still happen, trust me on that. With the regular comms menus this is not too bad - on one hand, it's mostly stuff you don't need *right now* in a heated combat situation, on the other hand I am still able to keep the regular comms menus bound to my keyboard as a backup for those situations where voice recognition fails. With the AI RIO, both the importance of voice commands as well as the possible problems of a failed voice recognition rise proportionally, and failing to have Jester perform essential tasks in A-A combat will be felt. On top of that I am not a big fan of the "Select" function in Vaicom. This may be subjective, so please take that with a grain of salt, but I am a friend of turning dials to tune in an ATC etc., and not just tell my plane to do something which it can't in real life. Similar situation with Jester: I want to be able to tell him which frequency to punch in manually, not just select something. Also, and here is my non-native-speaker problem again: my pronunciation of ATC names of the Caucasus region vastly differs from what voice recognition expects. In conclusion: while I understand it from reasons of immersion, I feel the Jester Menu Wheel is sorely needed as an *option*, and at a high priority. Please find attached this link to the DCS facebook group, where a similar thread is forming with another few people issuing similar concerns: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DigitalCombatSimulator/permalink/2021552227970784/ All that said: thanks for a phenomenal addon to DCS, I really love Vaicom and hope to be able to use it much more in the future! :)
