mytai01 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Why does Jester have so much difficulty keeping a lock on a slow moving Il-76 at high altitude? Even after establishing visual contact he still doesn't reestablish a lock??? That should be automatic!

MPK Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just to add to this, when Jester loses a STT lock, he should be automatically trying to re-establish the lock. In other words, if the pilot tells jester "go STT lock", jester should be going STT lock from that point on until being told to do something else. I find that I have to drill through the menu to BVR->STT->Enemy Ahead, then lock is lost, then drill through the menu, then lock is lost etc, etc until I give up with his shenanigans and try the ACM modes (which magically don't lose lock). Jester is a little bit lazy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytai01 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Jester should be told who to lock...then he should do everything in his power to establish, maintain, reestablish, maintain, reestablish, maintain until told to do otherwise; or the target is destroyed...PERIOD!!!

Cytarabine Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The ACM mode locks sometimes seem a bit too good, holding locks when the target is behind me or so far off boresite that it should not be able to track. But yes, Jester really struggles with STT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPK Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 To be fair simulating a human is a monumental task. I agree 100%, and what we have so far really is an excellent foundation, but the STT area needs a little work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraTheCat Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 +1!! And he should ask for autorisation before ejecting!!! ;-) I'd disagree here given that the only time so far that he's ejected was with both wings gone and no altitude left. Made me wish I'd asked him to set command eject to both, as I didn't have time to do so myself. Result: he got out safely, I didn't. Did you have something different where you thought you could save the plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraTheCat Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It would be rather nice if he'd give a reminder when you hit your set bingo fuel state. I'm not sure how that would be implemented, but he's got a readout right there in front of him, so it's not like he wouldn't know fuel state.

metzger Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 +1 on improving jester skills. Specifically to manage the radar volume. For example I had a spikes 2 o'clock on the rwr, I had to tell him via the menu to move the antenna center-left but it is rio's job to know how to do this. I understand coding of RIO AI is not easy, but since we already have target prioritization on the rwr it should be possible to make it point the radar at the most critical targets based on spikes or datalink. It would also good if we can have multiple levels of RIO involvement , for example "full" will make him do everything real RIO has to do (more or less) "semi" he will not do certain critical things (aka moving the radar cone) or make him "ask" the pilot if he should do it and act only on approval etc...

viper2097 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'd wish Jestet would more often IFF the contacts. And also don't turn the WCO off and on again after I've fired an Aim-7....

Banzaiib Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Where's the ground stabilized command for Jester? It sure would help with SA to see what's around me on D/L from time to time. Also, agree, Jester is a terrible RIO in combat. Don't get me wrong. The F-14 is a magnificent simulation, and an absolute dream to fly, but fighting with it is very frustrating without a human RIO... and part of me wishes I could just control the radar myself.

FSKRipper Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe I'm wrong but did you guys ever tried to manage WVR combat from the backseat? With what success rate?

Roth Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just a couple of things from a dedicated Rio might help you guys <10 miles generally Pilot takes the radar and he is using his modes to get a lock. I go visual scanning. With a plane that close it is near impossible to see the target long enough to lock on the radar unless both planes are flying pretty straight and level STT track - it is generally 50/50 for loosing lock. 1/2 the time the pilot is jerking the plane around too much to maintain lock or I should have done a hand-off to PD. If he is using lock a lot try keeping banks under 15-20 deg. and see if that helps. If you pull a hard bank I will almost loose lock every time. If not, try keeping the plane above you as maybe he is not doing the P to PD hand-off required to maintain lock. This is a two seater and I know pilots want a good jester but as a rio we do not want jester near the ability of a human rio or else we would be out of a job #noai #humanriosonly #riounion hope that helps a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I tell Jester "RADAR AUTO" but all he can do is call NAILS? Well... LOCK IT UP! I shouldn't need to tell him that!!

r4y30n Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 On a related note, are ranges in the gun and sidewinder training missions too close for Jester to be working the radar? I'm having a tough time spotting targets and get no help from Jester until I'm close enough for visual call outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
