stoop Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 I don't know what I messed up or changed but I have always had one button on my throttle that brings up the Jester on screen menu, and in my setup I can see it bound under Toggle Menu, with Keyboard 'A' and then my binding. Now when I hot the A or my throttle binding button I can hear the audio change like we are ready to speak to Jester but the onscreen menu does not come up for me to choose the command I want to give him. Anyone know the fix?
GunSlingerAUS Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Have you installed AIRIO or VAICOM? Both are known to cause this. 1 Intel 11900K/NVIDIA RTX 3090/32GB DDR4 3666/Z590 Asus Maximus motherboard/2TB Samsung EVO Pro/55" LG C9 120Hz @ 4K/Windows 10/Jotunheim Schiit external headphone amp/Virpil HOTAS + MFG Crosswind pedals
chief Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I have the same problem. No AIRIO or VIACOM installed. Ok so I reinstalled F14. Went right into instant action dogfight and menu works. Then loaded a mission made. Menu didnt work. Tried Instant action dogfight again, menu didnt work Edited June 15, 2021 by chief

chief Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 dcs.log This is getting really weird. The menu just randomly works or doesnt. I thought it might be popping up on my external monitors and hidden somewhere on them so I unplugged them and menu still not appearing. I did a full repair (long) and then loaded DCS...instant action...dogfight and it works. Then shot down the SU27 and then FLY AGAIN then the menu didnt work. So frustrating.
draconus Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 What key/button do you use for the Jester menu? You use a lot of devices. Maybe look for some modifier (toggle switch) in controls that you use during the dogfight which then prevents it from working?

chief Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 But why would it work in one mission, then immediately switch to another mission then it doesnt work. I havent even touched another joystick during that time. "A" is the jester menu
draconus Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I'm just trying to help and exclusion method is a good one to narrow down the issue source. Does the A key still work in controls window when not working in game? Try closing any external apps for your control devices like TARGET, Logitech/Saitec, vjoy, whatever... It's not even the same problem as OP. Edited June 17, 2021 by draconus Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
chief Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Ok I just made a quick video of me doing a bunch of mission starts,etc. If somehow I can send it to you, you will see what I mean. Some the Jester menu pops up, others they dont. But its a 338 MB video. How can i send that to ya? I can get on discord, or something, and stream it to you if thats easiest Edited June 18, 2021 by chief

chief Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) on its way. keep in mind i didnt do anything but utilize my mouse during this video. absolutely nothing but mouse movements, other than me trying to bring up the jester menu of course https://ufile.io/uo1h3vqm Edited June 18, 2021 by chief

draconus Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 I'd look for some modifier or sticky shift/ctrl. No problems with any other binding or key? I'm out of ideas. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
chief Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Nope no other problems. Even if it was a binding or key, what would cause the inconsistency of it. It should always work, or never work right? I know this is frustrating the hell out of me!
chief Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) To add to it, I disconnected all my controllers and still getting the issue. Also, its not only the menu jester makes no callouts. its like he's disabled Edited June 18, 2021 by chief
chief Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 So for giggles I installed the vaicom AIRIO. I get the on screen messages popping up in game (eg scan range) but jester doesnt do anything. So for some reason jester isnt being loaded into game for me. What on earth would cause this?

Some kind of mod, or faulty install. Did you try running a repair? You may have accidentally deleted some Jester-related folders? Or a mod did that? If a repair does not work, uninstall the F-14. Go into your main install coremods and mods aircraft folders and delete any F14 folders that may be left there. Go into your saved games and the config folder, backup your input folder and delete it. Reinstall the F-14. Do not change any of the controls, spawn in a Jet and press A. See if the menu pops up. Hope you find the culprit soon, it is definitely a very odd case.

chief Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 tried running a deep repair twice, uninstalled and reinstalled the 14 3X. It would make sense if jester NEVER worked but thats not the case. For the last 3 days I have been researching as to why this is happening. No one on the server has a clue either. But I will try doing your last suggestion. Standby the results. Thx
chief Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ok MAY be starting to get somewhere. I did what you suggested and heres the errors I am not getting when I load Instant Action/Dogfight. I get the first attached pic then when I click ok the second one pops up. I am once again going to try and run an in depth repair Edited June 20, 2021 by chief
chief Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ok the repair sorta worked. Loaded a few quick missions and the first two worked and thought i was on a roll then the third and fourth they didnt work. I am gonna tear my hair out me thinks I wonder if its something in the .lua. I have this issue with DCS that my mouse axis doesnt work in combined arms when I jump in a unit. I have to go into a default.lua and remove the "-" comment in the LUA every time I update DCS. Now I am wondering if the same type of problem exists with the F14 for me but I wouldnt know where to look. Just a thought. Edited June 20, 2021 by chief
chief Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ok I think it IS something in the Config menu. I am narrowing it down and I'll report back. It was something in the options.lua. I am not sure what it is caused it but at this time I dont care lol Edited June 20, 2021 by chief
draconus Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Sometimes AV software blocks or qurantine some DCS dll's... but even then the issue would be more consistent. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
