Jester Switches LANTIRN Targets

[bonesvf103]

So is thus just a Jester thing?  Since he can't lock up a building with LANTIRN (at least there is not function for him to look for one), I used to hop in the back seat and do the designation myself, then hop back in front and do the drop.  But now when I do it Jester holds my designation right up until 3 seconds before drop then he wanders around looking for a new target.  DInd't he used to just leave what you did alone in the backseat?  He keeps spoiling my building strikes like that.

Is the building your are targeting an active object? Or is it part of the map?

If it's the latter you may need to manually cue the TGP via the head tracking and designate it.

I think it is an active object because there is a JTAC who will smoke the target.

But even if it wasn't, I've dropped on things like control towers before that weren't even part of the mission by designating it in the back seat myself, then switching to the front seat to do the drop and he didn't switch targets away back then like he does now.

I also have this problem; the mission "watch the devildog" for example is really harder with the Jester lantirn system because Jester can't find the targets.

Maybe we can ask Heatblur to allow us to choose between the old system and the new one with an option.
