[BUG] Jester Problem with P-STT vs. PD-STT

[Tiramisu]

First of all I have found a bug: Once you have told Jester to go to PD-STT mode, he will refuse to go back to P-STT mode, even when you tell him to do so or even when you get so close to the bandit, that Jester himself says "Ok, switching to P-STT", without actually doing it. I have found this bug after checking the settings in the RIO seat myself.

 

Secondly, I think we need three options to choose between P-STT, PD-STT and auto-mode even before we get a lock. At the moment you can only change the modes only once you have a lock.

I would suggest to replace the "WVR"-menu with a "Aircraft Settings"-menu, where you can set those STT-modes. Also the "Aircraft Settings" menu would be a good place for the radar elevetion and azimuth as well for radar-bars- and radar-width-options, which are currently missing in the F-14, because the BVR-menu does not have much space left at the moment.

Does this happen sometimes, or every time? Thank you for the report. Also good ideas, not sure if we will do it like that, but I think we can take some of that on board.

Yes, it has happened every time I tried it and in different missions. You can reproduce this bug easily:

First lock a target, then Jester will usually use PD-STT. Afterwards you tell him in the command menu to go to P-STT-mode and then you can tell him to go to PD-STT again. Once you have chosen that PD-option yourself, he will not revert back to the P-STT option as long as the radar lock exists, even when you tell him to do so.

 

Also good ideas, not sure if we will do it like that, but I think we can take some of that on board.
