Hi, I guess that it may be related to the artwork from the F2 view for the F-14 right engine for afterburner.

What a year it has been! Great days of flying, training, fighting, and conquering the blue horizons around the world in contested airspaces. It is especially the people that make the deployments great and memorable! [Pictures displayed have 3rd Party Addons] Units Displayed: Carrier Air Wing 2 - VF-2 "Bullet" - VFA-151 "Vigilantes" - VFA-137 "Kestrels" (Inactive) - HSM-78 "Bluehawks" - HSC-4 "Black Knights"

Please, let Jester write down what he says so we can understand it correctly. Good morning everyone: First of all I want to congratulate Heatblur for an impressive job with the F-4. It is undoubtedly a fantastic module. The fact is that I am writing this post asking for help to solve the problem I have with Jester. As I am not an English speaker and have mediocre English. Taking into account that Jester sometimes speaks very fast, due to the urgency of the situation. With a peculiar pronunciation and ways of speaking... adding jokes and comments... it is impossible for me to understand everything he says. And it is also necessary to take into account that he can say the same thing in many different ways... but conditioned by the urgency of the situation, with a joke or a witticism... the fact is that I do not understand him completely. I am more concerned with what he says to me than with flying... Understanding that he is not going to record the thousand audios that he has in the different languages that DCS users have. My request would be, if possible, that when Jester speaks, the text with what he is saying appears, that you can change the duration of the text on the screen and that there can be different lines of text. I think that many non-English speaking people could benefit from it and could consider buying a module in which interaction with Jester is necessary. I know people who do not have the level of English... are not going to buy it. Translated with Google, please do not hold it against me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Por favor, que Jester nos escriba lo que dice para poderlo entender correctamente. Buenos días a todos: Primero de todo quiero felicitar a Heatblur por un trabajo impresionante con el F-4. Sin duda, es un módulo fantástico. El caso es que escribo este post pidiéndo ayuda para solucionar el problema que tengo con Jester. Al no ser yo una persona de habla inglesa y tener un inglés mediocre. Teniendo en cuenta que Jester en ocasiones habla muy rápido, por la urgencia de la situación. Con una pronunciación y con formas de hablar peculiares... añadiendo bromas y comentarios... me resulta imposible entender todo lo que dice. Y es que además hay que tener en cuenta que puede decir lo mismo de muchas formas diferentes... pero condicionado con la urgencia de la situación, con broma o chascarrillo... el caso es que YO no lo llego a entender del todo. Estoy más pendiente de que lo que me dice que de volar... Entiendiendo que no se va ha grabar los mil audios que tiene en los diferentes idiomas que tienen los usuarios de DCS. Mi petición sería, si es posible, que cuando Jester hable, te salga el texto con lo que está diciendo, que puedas cambiar la duración del texto en pantalla y que puedan haber líneas de texto diferentes. Creo que muchas personas de habla no inglesa, se podrían ver beneficiadas y podrían plantearse comprar un módulo en el que la interacción con Jester es necesaria. Se de personas que al no tener el nivel de inglés... no lo van a comprar. Traducido con Google, por favor no me lo tengáis en cuenta.

Hi, Based on the release note from HB about: from: I am not sure that that adapter is a pod?! The AN/ALQ-167 is a pod, likes: http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-an167.htm Any suggestion? Thanks.

HELLO ALL TOMCAT PILOTS AND RIO's. I am starting up a squadron that currently has no ID yet as I only have myself and one other pilot. I am looking for a few more people who are experienced in squadron operations be it old XO or CO as well as people who can also teach the tomcat. Looking primarily on East Coast time and flying twice a week. I am a full time 1st responder so my days off move but I would love to get a division of 6 at least to get this squadron off the blueprint stage! The discord is here : https://discord.gg/SPeVqJ3erv

Hello Drivers and Developers, Not sure if anyone has noticed this or I may have missed something, but the TARPS kit including the ALQ...the Pod itself...and Extended Chaff Dispenser, all seem to not render at all when its in play whether online and offline. The pylons to mount the ALQ and ECD show up fine. This extends to when its used by AI, nothing shows up. However the mission editor can display it and recognize it onboard the aircraft. Has anyone had this issue before? Is there something I need to do first before launching? Thanks in advance. V/R - SGT Toffee **EDIT: I repaired DCS in all of its entirety, and even reinstalled Heatblur's F-14A/B module as of 04/08/2024 -- Results are the Same**

i noticed an issue with the radar during southern watch quick mission where in TWS modes mode Jester allocates and detects 1 target as hostile so i am no longer able to ripple fire the Phoenix's off if i go to STT i noticed jester can see one target in yellow and the other 3 are blue (DL) targets, that i can select for STT.
