[NO BUG] Datalink/radar jester

[Coxy_99]

Join server select slot, Take off. Jester locks targets in TWS with datalink works, Get show down, Select aircraft same slot. Get in the air no datalink and jester not TWSing at all.

 

Hot starts. Its becoming frustrating. Is this a patch issue or bug because it sucks hard and quite frankly tiring.

Hey bud, does this happen only if you select the same slot, do you jump back to specs, does it get fixed by leaving and rejoning the server, or do you have to leave the game to fix it?

 

I think this is the first time I hear of it in connection with a shotdown/respawn.

I stay in the slot click briefing and fly. I never went back to spectators or leave server Just re-spawn.

Due to the complexity of the Tomcat and multicrew-capability, it is best to go back to spectators first and then respawn. With a clean aircraft you get a clean load and avoid possible conflicts with who knows what could be still running in the background. Please try that and see if this fixes it for you.

Sure ill test again keep it open as investigating. Ill report back.

Thanks, bud!

Seems you have to go back to spectators for it all to work again, You cant just click briefing and fly it messes jesters head up along with datalink host, No idea if its classed as a bug or not? Do you need logs?

I don't think it is a bug, buddy. All these years of flying on the servers, even non MC aircraft, it was always safest to respawn clean (from spectators). Think about it in the Tomcat's case: not only you have to load the aircraft, you have to load it so that 2 people can fly in it and interact with each other, then, as the 2nd person is not present, an AI needs to occupy that part of the aircaft and disable itself once a person joins and enable itself again once the person leaves, etc... If you fly a quick and small mission offline this might not be such a big deal, but with bigger missions online I always make sure to spawn as clean as I can.

True thanks for response as always.
