VampireNZ Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 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.

VampireNZ Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 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: Vampire
