[MULTITHREAD][RADAR][JESTER][BORESIGHT] Jester is occationally unable to lock targets in cage boresight mode within 5nm

[Varial]

Bug: Jester has problems locking while the pilot is in boresight mode

Steps to reproduce:
1) As the pilot, press the cage button to place the radar in 5nm boresight mode
2) with the target plane in front, Hold down the Jester context menu button to attempt to initiate a lock

Expected behaviour: Jester is able to lock the target

Actual behaviour: Jester advises that he will attempt a lock, ("roger", "wilco") but is only successful a very small percent of the time.

I've included both the mission track file as well as the .miz file.

Here is a video of the bug:

Otherwise loving the F4 so far!
Thanks

Hey thanks for the report! So in the video I noticed that you were also in CAA mode which interferes with Jester! Could you try it again without using CAA mode?

It seems to me that the target was too close for Jester to see the return on the screen. You can see how he doesnt move his cursor until the very end when you closed some distance - and then he also locks properly.

Thanks for the tracks, will investigate.

Found the bug. Jester thought he is G-Locked and couldnt move his arms properly anymore. So he wasnt able to move the cursor down to the target to lock it. The condition for it was faulty and, in this case, triggered always when you were in "dogfight-distance".

Fixed, thanks.
