Would Heatblur consider re-naming Jester for the F-4E?

On a related note, i've heard in some of the youtube previews that he tends to come out with outbursts fairly often, ie "Goddamn man, too fast!". Will "silence jester" option remove chit chat and outbursts leaving just mission specific, or silence completely?

That's because the youtuber/streamer took off from extended run off area of the runway, instead of the runway proper. Similar to speeding or taking off on the taxiway. Thus, Jester is working as intended.

Jester wasn’t a RIO. Stupid name from inception. 
 

Too bad HB isn’t taking the opportunity to undo it for the Phantom. 

It's tongue in cheek, you know a joke. The system is operated by using gestures through the control wheel. I.e. turning your head to step through the menus. Also, it's a tip to of the head to fans of movies since it references a popular character. The opportunity for word play and referencing a popular character is perfect. There's nothing wrong with the name, and it doesn't need to change.

Claiming it is a horrible bit of word play only makes this funnier. 
 

Gesture to Jester? Really?

Since the gesture gui is a wheel, Pivot is an obvious choice.

Since we are renaming Jester, I say 'Gruff' short for 'Bill Goat Gruff'.

Not sure if anyone has asked about this or not.  While "Jester" is more than fitting for the F-14 given the Tomcat's pivotal role in Top Gun, honestly it doesn't make as much sense for the USAF F-4E variant that we're getting.  I wonder if Heatblur would consider re-naming the new Jester version for the F-4E to something like "Chuck" (after Chuck DeBellevue for example).  It might be harder to do than I imagine, but I figured I'd suggest it.  If nothing else they can think about it.

Wondering about problems some people have ... ????
