450Devil Posted June 8, 2024 Posted June 8, 2024 The last update stated " JESTER AAR: Added JESTER automatically saying "Ready Pre-Contact" to the tanker (if AAR door is opened within 100m of the thanker) In the Instant Action Nevada Refueling mission I have been unable to hear Jester making this call. I have the AAR door open. I have tried with the Radio in Pilot mode and when toggled (Toggle Radio Command) to Jester. Has anyone been able to get (and hear) Jester making the Ready Pre-Contact call? Also, the Toggle Radio Command animation works when Toggle Radio Command is bound to a button but does not "animate" when set to Voice Attack. In the Setup Options menu I have bound "Toggle Radio Command" to Right Shift + R. When I use Voice Attack to activate the button I hear the button noise but there is no animation nor does the indicator light change in either pilot or WSO cockpits. 1
Dentedend10 Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 I haven’t been able to hear Jester either, was also on Nevada instant action mission Alienware Aurora R10, Ryzen 5800X3D, RTX4080, 32GB RAM, Pimax Crystal, Winwing F18 throttle, VKB Gunfighter F14 Stick, VKB Modern Combat Grip, Logitech Rudder pedals, DOF Reality H3
Zabuzard Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 I haven’t been able to hear Jester either, was also on Nevada instant action missionJester doesnt "speak" it. He essentially "clicks the menu entry", so you would hear DCS default pilot voice say it, as if you would have clicked it yourself. 1
Dr Zaius Posted June 16, 2024 Posted June 16, 2024 I had Jester go a bit mad with his callouts tha last time I was (attempting) to tank, he was repeating different commands over and over again in really quick sucession I had to back off and command him to keep quiet, the problem did seem to fix itself but thought I better report it @Zabuzard System Specs: Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz @ 4.8GHz, Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master, 32 GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3600 RAM, GeForce GTX 4090, Crucial SSD (2TB), TrackIR 5, TM Throttle, VPC WarBRD Stick, TM T-Flight Rudder Pedals, Samsung 49” Odyssey G9

Unfortunately, so far no one was able to reproduce it or hand in a working track.Annoying bug, hopefully we can soon find out the cause and fix it. 2
Nealius Posted June 16, 2024 Posted June 16, 2024 I haven't had the auto-pre-contact function at all. I always have to use the keyboard hotkey myself. I also noticed the tanker doesn't have an "abort refuel" command in the comms tree anymore either, so once a client is off the boom--either self disconnect or transfer complete--the tanker gets stuck and won't let anyone else on unless the last client to use it calls "intent to refuel" again, then cancels. Could be a global DCS issue.

MAXsenna Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Jester doesnt "speak" it. He essentially "clicks the menu entry", so you would hear DCS default pilot voice say it, as if you would have clicked it yourself.Are there any ways to disable this feature? I use VAICOM and prefer to issue the command myself and even have the pilots voice turned off, so I'd never hear it in any case, only the reply from the tankers. Cheers!

MAXsenna Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 I guess you can do the command yourself before you open the AAR door.Guess I can. Tried the Nevada instant action for the first time now. I have not read the manual or done any training missions, so I was just guessing and trying to find the correct switches to open the AAR, but man. My settings makes the cockpit REALLY dark. Hovering the mouse cursor in the dark to find the correct switches didn't work. Gonna adjust the graphic settings and try again. Was easy enough to fly in somewhat correct position. Have a feeling it'll be easier than the SE.At least VAICOM worked out of the box as long as I had the correct TX/(PTT) defined, so both request rejoin and ready pre contact got replies as the radio was already tuned correctly. Wish me luck!Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1

MAXsenna Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 or .. get the call out in Jester's Voice ?Haha! Yeah!In any case, it was super easy. I'm in love with Jester now. Only issue was that it wasn't much of a practice as it took like 10 percent to get transfer complete. Checked the mission and the aircraft only has 40% full tanks, so I guess I miss a switch somewhere to actually get the transfer going.Btw. Does Jester turn off the radar too?Cheers!

Sent from my SM-A536B using TapatalkThats a bug with the tanker and happens when you accidentally disconnect due to bad maneuvering. You have to cycle your door first but the tanker ignores it and sticks it in regardless, then realizes it was wrong and incorrectly says transfer complete.ED is on it. Just restart the process in the meantime. or .. get the call out in Jester's Voice ?We cant deactivate the voice of the default "pilot" using the commands. So then you would have two people speaking the same thing at the same time. 1

Should have know one should recycle the receptacle like in the A-10s. Cheated this time and looked in the manual. Thanks!
