To further clarify (one of you SMEs please correct me if I'm wrong!), when you pull that handle up, you are deflating the air bag used to stabilize the wing. So you have to wait a few seconds for it to deflate, which is when that light comes on. Then you can oversweep the wings.

I know this doesn't really help everyone, but I've found that using the Voice Attack/VAICOM/AIRIO combination is immensely helpful. Rather than messing around with the menus you can just talk to Jester using a mic. It is even structured in a way to help you gradually learn all the commands. If only I could solve the problem of my wife judging me for the head tracking (with an xbox Kinect!) and now talking to my computer hahaha

You can just push or pull the stick beyond the allowance for adjustment and it will disengage the autopilot and give you the reference light again. Beyond toggling the switch or pulling the emergency disconnect paddle, I don't know another way.

They change the tension of the stick. I use the red one. A lot of folks go even further than that and make external modifications to increase the tension more.

You can bring up the kneeboard to see TACAN freqs, as well as Tanker information. Use that to reference when you're telling Jester to do things.

Do you have PH selected?

They are handy to have in the Tomcat, though. You know...flat spins and all.

Mike, I'd love to see your X-55 control scheme. I use the X-56, but it is just about identical.

I got one after a speed callout the other day. "230, illuminati confirmed."

What are these other "features?" I'm not being a wiseguy, I would really like to know. Beyond that, I know that getting a RIO is the best COA here, but if I don't have one and am still using Jester, should I forsake TWS-A and just tell Jester where to look based on AWACS or something? Will that get rid of the TWS-A losing tracks/RWR switching, etc?

Great, now I can't escape COMSEC in video games either. Thanks, guys.

I am 100% willing to chalk it up to user error. I am about the furthest thing from an expert there is. I only mentioned it because before the patch I was always able to pick up those targets, but not after. Certainly I could have been doing something wrong. I'll assume that I was, and I'll go keep playing. I also hopped into MP since I posted that "issue" and my radar seemed to be working fine (other than Jester dropping lock after the AIM-54s come off the rail). I have much to learn! Thanks, Mike! Cheers

I'll try out some other missions, but I know for sure that I was in multiple situations where I should have seen them. Like chasing down an AN-26 and coming up behind it. I intentionally did this with the F10 menu. Switching to RWS didn't help either, even within 10nm.

Good fun, as always! After jumping back in today to test it out, I find that I can no longer see contacts on the TID. As well, even in TWS Auto, Jester can't. I vectored myself in towards multiple bandits with the AIM-54 ready to go, but there was never a radar contact so Jester never locked anyone. It wasn't until it came down to WVR that he started calling stuff out. I was playing the Instant Action free flight, and it was the same problem on both Syria and Caucasus.
