Bearfoot Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Can someone provide a brief summary of this process? The documentation references creating a waypoint in the mission editor and naming it "ST", which can then be selected as a steerpoint by asking Jester to set the Surface Target as a steerpoint. But it also seems you can create a mark on the F10 Map, and then select that as a surface target steerpoint? Jester seems to comply, but the the steering cues dont really line up. Here is what I did: (1) Go to F10 Map, and create a marker. Name it something (I named it "test 1", "target 1", etc. Maybe I should call it "ST"?) (2) Jester -> Navigation -> Steerpoint from Map -> Surface Target -> (select) (3) Jester -> Navigation ->Select Destination Steer Point -> Surface Target But this does not work, and it still shows "Home Base" Am I missing something?
Tj1376 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 In the Viggen (also created by Heatblur), you have to name the marker the exact waypoint name you want. Try renaming the f10 map marker to ST and try it. Good luck TJ Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

draconus Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 For map marker use any name you want. Don't check the selection in Jester menu - it's bugged. Check your HSI. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Bearfoot Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) For map marker use any name you want. Don't check the selection in Jester menu - it's bugged. Check your HSI. Does not show up in HSI as well. Set markers at 4 cardinal points -- assigned to WPT 1, 2, 3, and FP through "Jester -> Navigation -> Steerpoint from Map". Switching between them using "Jester -> Navigation ->Select Destination Steer Point" shows no change in HSI. HSI indicator set to TACAN DEST (edited), hot start so INS aligned, etc. etc. Edited April 20, 2020 by Bearfoot
Bearfoot Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Correction: It seems that it DOES work, but only on the third or fourth attempt at activating. I.e, after cycling through WPT1, 2, 3, and FP using "Jester -> Navigation -> Steerpoint from Map", after a few passes, the HSI suddenly starts updating the destination direction and range correctly.
draconus Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) HSI indicator set to TACAN, hot start so INS aligned, etc. etc. Why TACAN? You should set steering command to DEST. It works for me right away: 1. F10, choose marker tool, click on map, name if you want, confirm with blue bar 2. Jester > nav > steerpoint from map > wp1 > ... wait a bit for him to input coords 3. Jester > nav > set steerpoint > wp1 4.

I've tried a few times, and definitely the setting does not take on the first few cycles. Have to switch through a couple of waypoints first before. I found this: at 15:37, he encounters the exact issue. He does not know if it is a bug or a procedural issue. But as far as I can see, he (and I) follow the above procedure exactly.
Sublimearrepentido Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Stupid question.. Hiw do i create a new waypoint marker in the f10 menu?
draconus Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Stupid question.. Hiw do i create a new waypoint marker in the f10 menu? You can't. Use F10 map instead. There's toolbar on top - choose the circle and click on the point on map. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Sublimearrepentido Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks yes I meant in F10. I have messed around clicking with the buttons on the top but apparently didnt hit the right one to set up my own wp

IronMike Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I am thinking maybe you are not giving Jester enough time to type in the coordinates? Just to indulge me, select a marker from map, set it as ST, and then wait till you hear no more clicking from him at all. Only then tell him to select ST. Works for me on the first try, always.

MPK Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I have always told numb nuts to select the current steerpoint first, then steerpoint from map second. I haven't had an issue so far, and I can watch the HSI and see the direction/distance change as the coords are entered. The only issue that I have ever seen is that doing it during the alignment has caused alignment issues on occasion. I haven't nailed down the exact circumstances that lead to a bad alignment.
