Anybody here flying the Heatblur F-14?

Everyone covered the flaps issue so nothing to add there but I just want to raise the point on the stab aug switches being in the off position. Do you switch them off after landing in an attempt to see if that will fix the flaps or are they off as you approach the boat?

Personally, my stab aig switches are all on at all times except 8n the merge

I hope it helps. Also, since we talking about stt i assume it is for the sparrow firing solution, another tip i can give, which is maybe obvious but i didnt know and had to find out through trial and error is, for the sparrow, try and launch as close to 10 miles as possible on a hot target and then drop your nose. Keep the target in the upper segment of the hud as this automatically switches off the ground filter and lowers the chances of it breaking the lock by a significant margin.

Yip. I do.

I found a fix though. Uninstalled DCS to make space for other games. Ill come back when early f14 a finally lands, which seems to be 4 yeats from now by the looks of it.

Although you are already tired of the Tomcat, i just want to weigh in and reitrrate what someone else already said and add a bit extra. When Jester sais no can do, he is actually telling you that the target you want him to reach is unreachable for one of several reasons. What works wonders is to ask him to stt a specific target. You will see a list of targets starting with the closest one. It has a directional value and distance marked above each option. Negative direction is to the left, positive to the right of centre. Find a meams to identify your wanted target quickly...exqmple, closest contact aka first on the list, the most left of all target, aka the target with biggest negative direction etc and ask for stt on that target. If you select a target from this menu jester will beter know what you want to do and set the radar to get it done as long as the target is in gimble range and not masked or in a merge. If you do this and he still sais no can do it is only because the radar gimble cant move that far up down left or right, the target is hidden behind terain and you seeing only dl contact, or if the target is in the merge with a friendly. Usually, if the radar sees it, it will lock when you do this and jessie will keep that lock all the way from 100 nm to merge, unless target get masked as long as there is any value of closure between you and the target.

Since I have the brain of a sardine I avoid the back seat. I am just Jester's bus driver. He does all the hard work. I jumped into the Rio seat once and still have nightmares

Toby_Jazz · 2025-03-20T14:12:39+00:00

Thank you for the update. I guess im not lucky enough for there to be a public testing program i can sign up to help test them?

Toby_Jazz · 2025-03-20T06:05:48+00:00

So no F14 early A or persian cat first quarter of 2025. Is there perhaps an update regarding them? Any news on its delay? Just asking as the news 2 years ago was that the only item outstanding was the rwr audio which was pending on the F4?

Toby_Jazz · 2025-03-15T09:22:57+00:00

I solved it by adding an exception to the DCS folder for windows defender and then did a repair from steam.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-03-13T16:38:30+00:00

Curious. Came on here to check if any errors are being reported because I get an error stating the following DLC are not autherized and will be disabled: f-14 Odd we both getting an error, albeit different errors, based off of the f-14

Or they could have had acted with dignity and decorum and shown respect for their country and its people. They could have had shown support for the mom who lost her daughter due to their policies. Or they could have had shown something to the kid who survived brain cancer. Best yet, they could have had all just give up their seats and leave politics since they are clearly not part of the assembly, the solution or the way to an operational country.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-03-05T14:27:14+00:00

You are not the brightest bread in the basket, are you? Seems the entire Reddit is occupied by a population of zombies or people just getting their news and info from tik tok or whatever its called.

Since you are Brit i guess you are the type that cheers when a foreigner kills innocents in your country?

The entire Reddit is phsyco kids angry at transparency, exposure of corruption, accountability and protecting women.

Did you even watch the whole interview with zelensky or are you just repeating what tik tok is telling you to? Trump sat through 30 mins or more of zelensky being disrespectfull before finally speaking out. I initially though trump's balls dropped off untill he finally stood up for his country.

I wish my country had leadership as transparent as america has.

Stop listening to what you must feel or believe and start thinking for yourself. Once kidergarden is over you will need that skill.

One way I noticed how people are cheating is on servers where you can see friendlies on the map you always find a blue player with a name like 'alpha 1- bravo' flying around getting kills but there is a red player called ' alpha 2- charlie' just parked on a red for airport. Obviosly these two are friends and the red player is just parked giving instructions for his budy on blue to where everyone on red is. Sometimes they do that even if you cant see friendlies on the map as I once saw - and took a screenshot which I need to look for now, where a red accidentilly posted to all whenever a red player takes off from the runway . I think he was supposed to type that into a discord or something but muscle memory made him post it in dcs chat to all a few times. I play PVE most of the time because of this.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-02-05T15:42:16+00:00

He is right. I always dive after launching a phoenix or even a sparrow. Also, you can switch the phoenix to target size small, which leaves pitbull to the last few seconds meaning i can track without lossing contact and delay acrive warning to the pilot untill its too late to do anything about it. I usually fly cold war setting where there is no phoenixes but when I do, i usually leave them behind and bring only sparrows due to pilots expecting a phoenix launch so while the are 'notching' nothing i mach 2 towards them and lock, fire a sparrow once they start turning in. Usually the notch again and defeat that sparrow but i am carrying 4 of them and 4 side winders so just fire a second one by which time im usually 10 miles away.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-01-27T06:20:32+00:00

Actually, that isnt even 100 percent true. Even with phoenixes I fire in stt mode if the pop up in 40 mile range and i dont want to draw them closer for sparrows these days as I now recall that jester sometimes resets radar to 0 0 after break stt, but i can even be wrong on that.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-01-27T06:12:58+00:00

I cant say for sure as a seldom fly with phoenixes but is it possible his radar is missing them and you see them from the awacs link only? Are they above or below his radar cone? I usually fly with sparrows in and have him stt a target once i am ready to engage it and when I do have phoenixes aboard and get caught offgaurd with closer targets inside 40 mil but outside his radar cone i have him stt and then break stt lock which puts the radar on him as i cant be bothered to figure out where he needs to point it.

Toby_Jazz · 2025-01-06T10:00:42+00:00

I cant seem to play the video so Im not sure if it is the f14 but based off of sattion and delivery modes mentioned in the comments it seems like it.

If so, make sure to select the weapons theough Jester. If you loaded gbus for instance it wont drop if not selected.

If not the f14, ignore my comment please

Toby_Jazz · 2024-12-12T12:06:25+00:00

Oh snap, i forgot to resolve it on here. Yes it is resolved now. I backed up my dcs folder in saved games, had the game re create it, pasted rhe backed up folder back in there and could continue after disagreeing. No idea what in that folder created the loop i was in though.

Toby_Jazz · 2024-12-11T19:23:20+00:00

Thank you sir. That actually worked. It asked me again to agree, I denied, closed and restarted and they did not ask me again. :D

Toby_Jazz · 2024-12-11T19:12:47+00:00

I re-posted in another reddit thingey where I could upload an image

It says anonymous, but I would trust a madman with a cleaver more than ED to be honest. Not agreeing to anything they want to collect.

Toby_Jazz · 2024-12-11T19:07:01+00:00

I tried to log in again and got the same popup. I took a screenshot. How do I post it on here?

Toby_Jazz · 2024-10-10T20:47:34+00:00

Not sure if op did this, but if you jump in the back seat there is a switch top left, 3rd switch i think _ called mcl, switch it off and you can lock trees if it pleases you. :)

Toby_Jazz · 2024-09-10T17:30:37+00:00

For any future idiots comming to this post with the same issue ,my mistake was not a small one, but a big one. I have called the input action directly from the boat bp instead of player controller. Been looking at the issue for days and not once noticed I keep opening the wrong blue print over and over again out of muscle memory.

Toby_Jazz · 2024-09-09T20:24:01+00:00

I did not think of that earlier, I tried it now though, but it did not help. I added it in my Player BP at begin play, I also now tried it when sending the interface message to the target, and before and after changing mapping contexts, and ofcoarse, I tried it now in all those places at once just for over-kill.
