For that you need a skin lock. So no to that. I’d also like to clarify that JAM strobe datalink sharing is Link-4C not Link-4A so only fighter to fighter. Good to know! oh and one more thing, will the Bandit receive any RWR warning from the AWG or 54 when in HOJ?

When in HoJ you might not as the missile is homing on your jammer. But that’s on EDs side in the missile code.

Joyriding and BFM was all i ever used every other module for. The F-14 was the only one i really took seriously, as in flew actual missions with it, both SP and MP, and bought and flew campaigns for it. Even managed to finish one . Which is why i didn't notice the jamming mechanics i guess. Though, my Viper wingman did complain the last time we flew together (a bit more then a month ago) that his radar was essentially blind. We now know why. Both if us. Ah, now it makes more sense indeed.

DCS FIGHTER PILOT Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Very cool stuff, I have been waiting on this for a very long time. In regards to the F-14’s ECM jammer, would it really act as a noise jammer (as it does now in game) or more like the Hornets jammer (it only turns on when a radar is locking it)? Also, like most other planes in DCS, would using the jammer bleed off radar performance?

That's really not on us. Totally understandable, and it's not the Tomcat that broke it anyway. It's completely broken for every module. So a core update broke it.Too bad, but it is what it is, and would eventually happen, I'll go back to 2.7 for the time being, as I lost 30% FPS too.Seriously need a new computer.

Scotia Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Some feedback: RIO body seems to exist even if you don't have show pilot body selected. Is there any chance we could see more of the Jester wheel commands in the controls menu? I think it would make a great deal of difference in voice attack profiles and make the F-4 VA profile easier to program for when it comes out. An command to have Jester "listen" without bringing up the wheel would go a long way to make a VA profile very similar to AIRIO. I'll be working on a VA profile this weekend that I hope will cover most of the AIRIO functionality. 3 Former USN F/A-18E/F Avionics Tech @ VFA-103 & VFA-106 Former T-34C & T-44A/C Plane Captain

Darkdiz Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 First off, LOVE the F-14 module, best DCS investment I have made to date. I especially enjoy the RIO aspect. My question arises from the HOJ capability for the AIM7 and 54 with the latest update. HOW does the RIO command this? Is it automatic? Are there any switches that need to be made to optimize/invoke this mode?
