is there or can we please have a keybind that lets us tell jester to instantly turn the jammer on or off? there are times when that would be very helpful, in some situations I just don't have time or I forget to go through the menu to do it. a bindable key would be awesome

I wonder if its a local thing? I had a thought, I mean its most likely not this but still good to ask the question, do you have tacview on one or both or none of your servers?

I’m just lucky enough that to have access to the our server. How do I go about finding the server track files? Is anything more than just finding them and copying to my main rig? Also will I be able to use in cockpit views?

Hi there. I came across one of the most annoying bugs ever today there I was, on a dedicated server, showing off my refuelling "skills" let me take you back and paint a picture of pure annoyance........ .......I was starting the whole refuelling thing behind a KC130, probe out, moving to pre-contact, no trouble... "CLEAR CONTACT" hello Mr basket, then, it started... Jester started up, a little left, little right, use the force, almost had it... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS REFUELLING LINES!!! ALL OF THEM, ONE AFTER THE OTHER AND ON REPEAT AHHHHH this persisted until about 30 seconds after I started taking fuel when he finally shut up and gave me a fuel readout, he was fine after that went back to usual, regular read fuel calls and the like, we filled up fine and disconnected fine and jester was fine after that. his little outburst did end up in a very serious talking too in the locker room after the flight, I suggested that maybe truck driving was more for him

checked chrome, firefox, edge and internet explorer. no joy on any of them. as I said it used to work absolutely fine on chrome until the update that broke it, anybody else got any ideas? I also tried removing the web folder in the install and repairing it to no luck as well

is there another option for making videos off DCS that doesn't use them?

now, this is interesting! ever since I started gaming back in the 1800s I have always done this, every time I get in and move the controls to full deflection then back and it has never done me wrong! however, during my testing for DCS replays (the same scenario is in my video) I tried 3 different starts. first. no control deflection - this was awful until about 3 min in when the controls finally synced - don't do this one haha second doing a full deflection - worked as it always does, full control from the start the third restarting the mission after the control sync, this also had awesome results for control and it was nice not to stress the aircraft by smashing my controls around HOWEVER these starts made little to no difference to the replay, with the full deflection one having the worst results because the plane got totally lost, the most stable result was option 3 were because the aircraft was already synced with the controls the start point didn't get messed up by inputs. in my scenario anyway

Awesome I’ll make sure I don’t do that, but what about like in the video where I had just finished flying and went straight into the replay and it was still messed up. I tried it a few times (reflew then watched the replay) and it did pretty much the same thing, not even consistent in the ways the aircraft flew off

Just how bad is the replay track system...? so I wanted to put together a video for some of my mates and most importantly my son to watch to see what I've been up to in the tomcat. I planned to film me doing some air to air refuelling live then run the replay (track) and use that for some outside shots, you know, get all artsy with it, figured a simple video 5-10 min long with some entertaining stuff to occupy an 9-year-olds attention. sounds easy right? well no, the track system screwed me over, to make it clear, I tried the track a few times and it only ever got worse. the mission is an instant action aerial refuelling over Nevada made by heat blur. why is the track replay so bad?? I have tried to salvage the video a bit but really it's just a pov of me refuelling with the bad replay at the end in one long continuous cut. anyway check it out if you want I'm not sure if I have done something wrong that's causing it to be like that or it's just like that, either way, any tips or tricks or hints for making it work better would be much appreciated cheers

yes! that is exactly it!

Does anyone out there know if it’s possible to turn off the awacs picture messages that periodically show up? I didn’t realise that they show up in replays, in future I’ll turn them off while playing the mission. But for now I have a whole lot of footage that is getting ruined by the damn things. I’ve been capturing various through the inferno missions to make some videos and these reports are spoiling the tracks Is there a way to turn them off? Or to turn off anything radio related in general in the replay? I really don’t want or need any of the text Thanks in advance

Yea. It makes it pretty difficult for trying to make videos

PROBLEM SOLVED: just moved the jester wheel onto my second screen in the monitor .lua now even if the glitch happens and the jester menu sticks on it's on the other screen which is not captured by my recording software

is there a way to turn off the jester wheel in replays? it is still jamming its self on in replays ruining my attempts to do some recording, no matter what i try it won't disappear once it's on also just, in general, I don't need it on the screen during replays has anybody had any success in this area?

so it's not working on chrome (even tho it used to) but it is working on firefox. weird wonder when it will be sorted? I'm not going to download firefox just to get this to work

not many people know this but Apollo went to the moon on a sidewinder that was shot at the sun...

I would be very interested in those numbers. I think I may not be stating my question well enough, either that or the drive to overcomplicate is too strong. KISS let's get away from aircraft for a second. your car has a range of 500km however, depending on how you drive is a massive part of that if you drive slower than on a flat straight road you will have more range if you drive faster than average on a road with corners you will have less range. we all understand this yes? I am looking for the basic numbers. I have been talking to captain google and she has range numbers for most if not all of the weapons. however, when using the exact same weapons in the game in a test environment I am having trouble meeting those numbers again. I don't want over-complicated numbers just simple basic ones to be aware of. I am well aware that you all have big brains and that I have a little one. I'm just trying to get a simple set of numbers. I work at a Mountian bike park and I often get asked "what pressure should I set my tyres too" the answer I give them 9 out of 10 times is "30psi" now in actual fact, the following comes into play for tyre psi with the following things massively effecting the pressure (real psi can be from as low as 15 to as high as 100) tubless tyre or tubed tyre the diameter of rim/ tyre depth of tyre width of tyre rubber compound profile of the tyre knobs high or low rolling resistance front and rear shock pressure settings geometry of bike rider weight rider riding style type of ride eg, fire road vs full DH weather trail conditions and most importantly rider personal preferences but if you walk up to me and ask me what pressure ill say 30, because that's a good starting benchmark and if your asking me this question your most likely not aware of the above list or you don't care about it I am looking for a good decent set of simple numbers for the weapons without the over complications that are relevant to the in the game world of DCS.

+1 its a real pain in the ass having to drop the server and manually change the mission files around

same here, and you can always mad dog off a phoenix if you need to (possibly the most fun you can have in the cat)

THANK YOU! I was getting worried for a minute there. I'm not looking for tables covering every single detail of a missile shot (because of the many many reasons above), I'm looking for a simple set of numbers ie, at 20,000 feet at 350kts the range and Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow is... then same info for African or European swallow so we have A SIMPLE SET OF NUMBERS to work off that we can adjust to our specific conditions for a shot OR so we can load our aircraft with a different load for different conditions I normally fly with a set load on the aircraft. that I have a reasonable idea of what the performances are, however sometimes the guy who makes our missions wants us to use a specific load using weapons I am unsure about the performance. Also, there will be new players to the tomcat as it gets out of beta and I'm sure that they will be doing the same searches and asking the same questions that I am trying to learn what each thing is capable of without over complicating things so once again... what sort of numbers do we get as a GUIDE for our weapons

Hi all, thanks for taking time to read this. Obviously dcs doesn’t use real weapons ranges so I was wondering what the max range, effective range and any other ranges that may be important are for the air to air weapons for the cat I’ve looked through the manual a few times and it doesn’t have any specific information for all the aa weapons I was thinking something like this for example Aim 54c Max range: Tws range: Stt range: Effective range: Mad dog/acm range: Minimum range: The same for all variants of the 54 and all the other aa weapons, so anyone looking for the info can find it all in one place. You can find the real world info anywhere but the dcs specific stuff is a little harder

Yea he’s back!

Anybody know anything more about this yet? No updates from HB?

Funny to see the missiles your carrying back there tho hahaha and the flairs/chaff when you pop them, but still. I want jester back hahahahaha

have I done something wrong? I've just used this to set up my jester wheel and I no longer see jester in the middle of the wheel??
