Bug report: Jester "unable" to capture DT target in some circumstances but then does capture

[Kreutzberg]

This bug has occurred a couple of times on larger missions with the F-4E. Sometimes, when in DT mode, Jester will say he is "unable" to capture a ground target, but then does it anyway. I've certainly seen other similar things posted, but this is a little more specific. In this situation, the issue seems to carry through the entire flight, regardless of additional targets.  

I've tried quite a bit to reproduce the issue, and have managed to do so a couple of times. The attached track file shows it in the second flight after choosing the ground start slot. So far, I think the issue has only occurred when starting on the ground, with a heavy loadout, though I'm not totally sure if those are required to create it. It might also have something to do with the bombing table use, though that's not clear either.

I've seen the "unable" both before and after the "capture" call. I've also seen it seem to cause the capture to break after a few seconds, but I think it's all the same issue. Thanks!

If you used the Jester Wheel or Bombing Table your track will unfortunately not work (which you can see yourself by replaying it).

Did you land and takeoff for a second flight? In this case you are running into a bug where Jester will execute the given action twice. This bug has been fixed for the next update.

Thanks. I didn't actually land, but loaded a different plane spawn. That may cause the same thing.

I have seen the same issue with Jester calling out "unable" but doing it right.

This video by Spudknocker shows the issue at 1:07:05 and 1:21:40 after Jester captures the ground he calls "can't do that" but actually the boms fall off and hit pretty exactly.

Same here, mainly in MP (I don't fly SP much), multiple can't do that calls (amount varies) but then he locks it
