JESTER RIO FUNCTIONS

[deathhoneybadger]

Is there a plan to have a jester function for "next target" in TWS. Would be great so two different pilots both flying with Jester do not fire on the same target in TWS. With a Human Rio you can sort and designate TWS targets for your flight, Will this functionality come to Jester?

[draconus]

yes, planned

Do you know if It is a high priority item? Any sort of eta on this item?

[draconus]

I just remember HB giving OK (can't find it on the forum atm) to that functionality but low priority and around or even after Jester's LANTIRN functionality.

Currently the issue is that we've yet to decide upon a good way of selecting what target to use as next target. Simply using the numerals doesn't really work as you might want a target not in the 1-6 prio and the STT selection isn't optimal either. Making Jester push the button is easy, how to select what target to hook before that is the issue.

Yes it works. You are overcomplicating this, just do it for tracks 1-6 and we are good for now. If you want to go more into it later fine, but I think 1-6 would be more than enough for majority of engagements.

I don't think the guys asked for anything more than this.

Just pushing the button won't fix anything as the default hook is target nr 1.

Ok, I meant going for the next one in priority, but you'll do your best as usual.

Perhaps some rough criteria then? Similar to what we have with the STT? Like a couple of options, maybe one being prioritize closest and the other being prioritize on closure rate?
