Jester Not Recognizing my Designated Ground Target

[bonesvf103]

Lately, if I jump in the backseat, find a target, designate it, then jump back in the front seat, Jester immediately drops the target I designated and snaps back to whatever target he was watching before.  If I tell him to track the designated target (QDES) he does not track the target i had designated either.  I don't recall him doing this before.  Am I missing something?  I know my designation went through in the backseat because I see the blank symbology i the LANTIRN replaced with the TTG bar and countdown.  I also tried undesignating and redesignating but it didn't work wither.

Before jumping in the back seat, ask Jester to designate something, then you can proceed to the back seat and proceed.

I never jump in the backseat.

I can designate multiple ways, from the front seat., with or without VoiceAttack (with Vaicom), which makes a huge difference in immersion for the 14.

Well I do it if I'm targeting, say, a building.  I have and love VAICOM Pro but there is no "Look for buildings"  command.  I could do it from the front seat, but the eyeballs command, then head adjustment takes longer than if I went in the RIO seat and did it myself.

So I noticed it's mission dependent.  I don't know why.  But when I flew a different mission, Jester was fine leaving my designated target as his new designated target.  But in other mission, he ignores it and goes with his previous one.  I dunno why.
