With the SC around the corner I decided to dust off the Tomcat again and venture into a MP session - went as expected, not well :(.

 

After launching 4 Phoenix and downing 3 targets using the default Jester radar mode and letting him do his thing, I started to direct Jester to STT a single target ahead for the attention of one of my Fox 1's. Somewhere during this process a constant rapid 'clicking' sound began repeating from the back seat which seemed to me that Jester was hammering away in a constant loop on some cockpit button. The radar subsequently was unable to remain locked on a target and would instantly unlock again. This occured if Jester STT'd a target, or as the contact got closer I tried all the VSL and PLM/PAL modes and same deal - instant unlock. As such I was unable to launch a Sparrow and had to turn in on the bandits six, get Fox 2 tone and launched that way.

The constant clicking continued and I was unable to get Jester out of it by putting him to 'sleep' using the menu option, and I couldn't move to his cockpit to 'reset' him as I was in MP. The instant unlock behaviour continued as I closed on a H2H with more contacts - with the radar STT'ing to the target and then instantly unlocking again (also indicated by the TCS flicking to the target then 'resetting'). Once again I had to close to Fox 2 distance - at which point DCS froze for us all on the server and we all rage quit.

I didn't get the trackfile. Sorry this may not be super-helpful in tracking down the issue.

 

I am also not a 'new' flyer of the Tomcat (which seems to be the new 'reason' for Jester playing up) , and have more than a few flights with 100+ hours and 200+ landings - I have a fair clue how it 'should' work.

Yep, and instead of adding my experience with the bug to each of those threads, I listed it here. Maybe one of these threads might get a respponse :thumbup:
