Jester Feedback

[450Devil]

I have set up a single player mission using the waypoint settings F-IN, HOLD, CAP1, CAP2, IP, TGT, F-OUT, HB and ALT. 

Jester's calls as I approached F-IN, CAP1 and CAP2, IP, TGT and F-OUT are very helpful.

It would also be helpful if Jester gave 10 miles to, 5 miles to and at HOLD calls similar to the CAP calls and for Jester to ask how long we are going to HOLD. A five minute alert to HOLD expiring would also be very helpful.

Also, when on a bomb run - particular under Direct or Dive Toss - it would be very helpful for Jester to call speed and altitude prior to bomb release. 

Just some observations and wishes.

He does that already for some modes. For Direct/DT its a bit more tricky since he has trouble knowing when you start the attack. But it will be added eventually.

Further to the above, when adding or editing waypoints using the Jester wheel, as well as the LAT / LONG, it would be helpful if we could also give the new / edited waypoint a name - such as F-IN or HOLD or HB or TGT as appropriate.

Yes, thats on the list

Does anyone actually prefer Jester 2.0 over the Tomcats version? I find this 2.0 very clumsy and worse and its predecessor.

I definitely miss the old number entry system - having to take off your VR headset to enter coordinates etc is a real 

My wish list addition is to have an option for Jester for peace/war (or whatever you want to call it) that stops jester calling out every single contact and IFF and jumping over every bit of coms you are trying to have with wingmen, tankers, ATC etc etc when you are in a non combat environment.

1) that will be solved with a virtual keyboard system in the future
2) good idea. probably also easy to realize by the community once we open up jester modding

Why does Jester 2.0 doesnt call out  own airspeeds while in dogfight like Jester in F14? Also maybe new feature of calling also altitude we are fighting on?

Thanks

Simply because it hasnt been coded yet. Primarily his awareness for "we are in a dogfight". Its on the list :)
