Swordfish Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Can this PLEASE be taken away? There is not reason to have jester ejecting both crew members. I even have it turned off- so maybe it is bugged, however Jester ejects for nothing. Both engines going, about to land "shit": Eject. WTF. I don't see why AI should ever have the ability to eject the pilot.
r4y30n Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Rio control over both seats was a historical feature of the aircraft. Don’t like it? Don’t use it. Edited May 7, 2019 by r4y30n
Vertigo72 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I even have it turned off- so maybe it is bugged, What do you have turned off? It might work opposite of what you think, because I didnt turn anything on or off regarding ejection, and my Jester has ejected countless times, but all by himself.
swither Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 By default he won't eject you?!? /Daniel Heatblur Simulations
Vertigo72 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 He has never ejected me. Im not even sure where you would change that?
Swordfish Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Rio control over both seats was a historical feature of the aircraft. Don’t like it? Don’t use it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No shit. In history Jester AI didn't control the RIO pit either. You can turn Ejection on and off with the jester menu, either setting has led to him ejecting both seats. I dont mind if I'm plummeting to the ground, but when I'm on finals with a damaged yet controllable jet, its a bit annoying
Vertigo72 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 This is weird. Ive had jester eject perhaps 10x on me now, never once did I get ejected. What am I or you doing different? FWIW - I almost always manually do the start up procedure (no win+home) and from the pilot seat - I pretty much never sit in the RIO seat - I never used jester menu to change anything about ejecting
Swordfish Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 Always manual startup. No changes to ejection options. I cant go in the backseat as Im playing MP for the Majority.
mwlue Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 This is weird. Ive had jester eject perhaps 10x on me now, never once did I get ejected. bleh bleh bleh Yea, Jester always ejected himself, leaving me flying the cat home alone. :lol: Edit: May be HB should add a line when he did so: I'm done with you, BYE~
Cytarabine Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Well it is a feature of the real Tomcat and my understanding was that in some situations the pilot would be dependent on the RIO for ejection as the forces in some departures would prevent the pilot reaching the ejection handles.
Vertigo72 Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 For those that have their pilots ejected; could you do a quick test? Fly offline, put the cat in a flat spin and let it spin in to the ground. On my system, Jester will eject briefly before impacting, but he will let me suffer my well deserved fate. Does he eject you?
Mikey74 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 ...hmmm thinking about, if it's possible to join a Multiplayer Server filled with Tomcats, joining each as Rio to pull Eject :D :D :D AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64GB DDR5-6000 MHz, ASUS PRIME X670-P, Zotac RTX 3090, Varjo Aero

FWIW - I almost always manually do the start up procedure (no win+home) and from the pilot seat - I pretty much never sit in the RIO seat - I never used jester menu to change anything about ejecting There's a handle in the back seat to select weather the RIO ejects just himself, or pilot as well when the RIO pulls his handle. At startup, the selector is on 'Pilot', meaning the pilot has command of his seat, and will not be ejected if the RIO ejects. Two ways to change that to "Eject Both" (NOTE: The AI's not stellar in this regard. I've decided against allowing AI RIO seat control after getting kicked out of perfectly good airplanes by Jester more than once.): 1. In the Jester Menu ('A' key), select any hashed area to bring up the next menu, upper left ( 8 ) "Crew Contract", Right (3) "Set Eject Both" 2. In the back seat, on the left (press '2' to get there, and '1' again to return to the pilot's seat). just below the canopy rail is a large yellow and black striped round "tubular" handle, angled almost horizontally, say 75ish degrees. To the left of it is labeled 'EJECT CMD'. Slid forward (toward 'Pilot'), the pilot will have to eject himself (ejection command for the front seat given from the front seat). Slid backward (toward 'MCO'), if the RIO ejects, both will be ejected (ejection command for the front seat given from the back seat). Edited May 8, 2019 by KiraTheCat
