Bearfoot Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Could we please have a key-binding to ask Jester to put the radar in standby mode or go active? (To clarify: I do not mean for the pilot to "reach back" and flip switches, but shortcut keybinding to directly select "Standby"/"Active" commands for Jester to execute) (1) Switching between radar on/off is something in real life that can be done quickly with just a single word, but in the game requires lots of head-bobbing and nodding and button pressing. (2) Macros / voice-attack to navigate the Jester menu is sabotaged by the fact that the menus shift item order depending on whether or not radar is already in standby or not. So your external program / macro mapping must be aware of current state of the radar, or otherwise things get REALLY messed up (e.g., if you command standby twice accidentally or command active twice accidentally). (3) Switching radar to standby and on again is important to be "sneaky" in complex environments where task-saturation is already high. Sometimes we just want to turn on radar for a few seconds for a single or couple of sweeps and then off again while flying low in valleys. IRL, it's just a word. Here it takes a few seconds each time, and with all this crazy head bobbing, reading the menus, etc. It's immersion breaking if nothing else, and unrealistically difficult.
