Jester scan elevation and radar settings

[Rainbowgeorge]

Hello everyone.

The F-4E is my favourite recent module and it would be really nice if an option for radar scan elevation in degrees ,additional to selecting a certain altitude at 30 miles range would be added, aswell as an option to tell jester to change into 2 bar mode.

Cheers

Thats the kind of micromanaging that we want to avoid. The plan is instead to add a superior and more general way of pointing Jester at targets. Think of a "Jester, look here" where you point in the sky or on the radar screen or on the rwr screen or similar. Further, Jester will learn to incorperate more data into his search behavior, for example AWACS calls, RWR, mission data and so on. So that he is able to find targets more proactively than now where he only performs a general search pattern.

The majority of F4 WSOs hated 2-bar mode for various reasons and always used 1-bar instead, while controlling the elevation by themselves. In 2-bar Jesters logic doesnt really work well anymore, so such an option likely wont be offered soon.

And again, its micromanagement that you, as Pilot, should not have to do. Jester will be improved so you can focus on doing your Pilot job instead.

Thanks, that would be even better
