Anyone figure out how to use "Choose specific target" with jester?

[mehksauce]

heres an example of that option,

 

 

this picture shows the menu https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543082598902136842/567151418990002196/unknown.png

 

 

this picture shows the TID datalink repeater

say we wana lock option 2 on the menu ( rel. az -110 distance 7 nm ).... which target will it lock on the TID?

 

 

 

also what does rel stand for? im assuming az means azimuth?

 

 

 

reason why im trying to learn this menu of jester is because, i heard this menu doesnt lose lock easily as just telling jester to lock target ahead/enemy ahead.. and gives you more of a precise lock instead of jester rng locking someone 30nm away, when theres a contact 20nm away lol

A negative relative azimuth value is to the left of your nose, positive is right. Anything in excess of +/-60 won't lock because of gimbal limits.

 

This occurs when datalink is on because hes fixated on relative range rather than angle he can attain a lock in.

thanks for clarifying ! im still fairly new to jester menu and how to properly use them... can u give me an insight on how to use scan elevation for issues like this?

Elevation adjustment won't help for this with datalink on, because he's still going to see that stuff behind you until it's deactivated. Until Jester knows not to offer up aircraft beyond the AWG-9's potential field of regard, the best thing to do once you know where you're commiting is to make sure he has elevation set for the relative altitude (note intended track altitude [in tens of thousands] number, make sure the volume numbers on the left of the TID repeater are valid for that target. Tell him to turn the datalink off, and then select the target you want to lock.

 

It's a bit unwieldy, but generally speaking you may simply be better off getting comfortable with the azimuth position, and then speeding through the instruction menu based on that, rather than multiple instructions to work around it.
