How to get Jester to take control of Countermeasures?

[Mukai92]

Hey guys, I'm really love flying the f14 atm, however I'm flying in VR and am struggling to see incoming missiles. I heard that you can have Jester take over the countermeasure duties? And he will launch flares or chaff if he sees the incoming attack. However in the radial menu when i set it to 'auto' it appears to remain manual or pilot activated.

 

Any ideas how I have Jester take control until I 'git gud'?

Im pretty sure there is an auto mode on the Jester wheel under the defense segment

Even in auto, I find he is weak with countermeasures.

 

I put flares on pilot so I can preemptively drop flares when a shot is likely. He drops them after a missile is fired, but there’s a delay and it’s usually too late by the time he does.

For me, when I set it to 'Auto' the tag in the centre of the Jester radial (where it shows what's currently selected) doesn't change, it remains at manual or pilot set :/

You can set a program for him, and he does much better then.
