Jester Menu/function overview

[TheSauvaaage]

Hey fellow Catters!

 

I am sorry if this is common knowledge but where do I find a step-by-step-overview of Jester's menues and submenues and what they do?

I think it is self-explanatory what each does when you look at the text there is written. But there is a little confusion among new users.

 

Are you asking a "overview map" what are all the settings located and their options, or explanation what example "STT lock" means?

 

Like that you need to have Jester and Iceman menus separately binded to Pilot and RIO seats.

Then you need to learn that pressing the center (not drawing line to any direction, selecting any pie or pressing any other number) closes the menu or goes to the general menu.

 

And then when the menu has a multiple modes, example Jester > Crew Management > Ejection Profile (something like that) where you can choose does the Jester eject just himself or both, then the menu gets closed each time a profile is changed.

 

That can be confusing as you do not see the whole list of all the possibilities there are, but you are thrown away from the menu after change, and then need to go back to see what is the next option.

 

This is a thing that should be changed bu resizing the UI and making it a pie chart further or wait a moment when there are multiple options so you can scroll them through as long you hover on that part after clicking, and close menu only after you move away from it (in VR).

"how to" navigate through the circle menu is no problem, but actually a "where to find which command" would be useful I think. Especially for all the Utility stuff, TACAN, DataLink etc.

 

- if you command Jester to Auto Select radar range and/or azimuth and elevation.... What is the pattern of it?

- where do I find the command to lock the closest bandit or highest priority threat?

 

 

Before I open another Thread: Could somebody explain where on the TID I can find the radar range I have no feeling for how far shown contacts are...

A tree-map of his commands would be handy. They are intuitive and I understand most of them, but if nothing else it would be a great reference. E.g. there are contextual options that aren't always there but would be nice to know about. And it would be fantastic for setting up Voice Attack profiles without having to constantly Alt+Tab and browse the wheel in game (which doesn't always have every option because it's contextual).

The dashed lines down the side indicate range. Each line and each gap is 20nm. So with a 50nm scan, you'll see line, gap, line (half length). Targets in the middle of the gap are at 30nm. Targets at the far end of the first line are at 20. etc.

Finally, relieve! haha, thank you very much!

 

Now as stated, I only need to find th "lock/track closest bandit" and "lock/track highest threat" or something like that. I don't know if it's an available command, but back int previews it was stated so by Heatblur, soooo.....

The Grim Reapers have done some tutorials on the menu:

It would be useful to have a map of what each branch ACTUALLY does (what switches etc)

not a bad idea, would be nice to include it into the manual, we will take a look, if we can do that (as in if we have time to do it soon). Thank you for suggesting it.
