DCS World | F-14B Tomcat | AIM-54 | Jester AI | TWS Auto | 3-Step Phoenix EASY BUTTON TUTORIAL!

Hey, DCS World Tomcat Drivers --- you ever take a seat in your office chair in the Big Kitty B and say to yourself "Man... I sure do miss those AMRAAMs..." Well, let not your heart be troubled. I'm here to show you how to punch that Jester AI + TWS Auto Easy Button in THREE SIMPLE STEPS! (Drunk puns intended).

"see this what happens when you do this when you been drinking"
Ahh a man of culture I see

[asilaydying]

smashed like and sub as soon as i heard your trailing 'ahhhh' like you spend more time on atc than in real life

[apocalypticweasel]

well thank you for that this will help me i have a love hate relationship with Jester and his compass thingy and i didn't realise that this could be done.

Just a tip, I don't know why you were measuring distance on F10 map for the second bandit, you had precise info on your TID repeater display. Also you can judge the range for non-highlighted (hooked) targets by the dashed spokes denoting azimuth limits of your radar sweep. The interval for each segment is 20nm, so starting from the bottom, the end of first dash is at 20nm, the start of the next one is at 40nm and it ends at 60nm and so on.

thx very much. i only wanted to know how to see what jester sees but. still very helpful.

7:20 When you switched to the back seat, the radar lost track of that flanker, as indicated by the small X below the caret.
That's why the phoenix missed, the bandit wasn't soft locked, it simply wasn't being tracked.

Your altitude was too low anyway, if the AI had adopted preemptive defensive measures (like beaming or notching) instead of flying towards you, those phoenixes wouldn't have hit.

[jdzzl]

Just saying you most likely got horrible performance on the Phoenixes because you were firing in active pause and weren't giving a speed advantage to the missiles.

Is there a video about the standard procedure of how you flight and where you should be when you fire those missiles to maximise chance of hit?

Actually Jester doesnt do much with radar. In TWS Auto radar scan elevation or azimuth, its all automatic, hands off RIO doesnt do anything. AIM 54 launch will make radar go into TWS auto every time and again, Jester doesnt do anything there, he only IFF stuff. Target prioritization is also automatic and set by AWG 9, RIO can only overrule that (but not Jester, he doesnt know how). So most of the time when you lose track (like with second bandit - his track was cross out) its because AWG9 itself lost track and its not Jester fault

[ThOrange]

My biggest issue is that you cant easily swap priority targets. If they just add that ability it'd be so much better, (without having to do black magic)

[trxpiin]

i still have no idea how to do anything i should have never bought f14 its the most confusing thing ever i just suck

[butterfliege]

Jester doesnt work at all i set him into tws auto and does nothing he doesnt lock them and when i fire he doesnt switch target

[impostershadow]

ED needs to nerf the AI abilities. Sucks when physics apply to you but not the AI
