THIS. This is accurate as well, and I only fly PvP in The War Server (low ping). But it seems that since a recent update, the Tomcat is no longer a capable air to air fighter. Recommitting after the initial crank has become suicide. Shots over 50nm are near impossible to hit, shots inside of 30nm are also near impossible to hit. The AIM-54 in general appears to have become totally ineffective. I appreciate greatly the detail of the Tomcat. It's by far, my greatest addiction and led to an interest in real life performance jet aviation, as well as a 1:1 cockpit sim built in my house (my wife was really happy about that one). Radar is broken since the RIO MP update. 1500+ hrs in the Tomcat, competitive player. Now I can't hit a single target. I've attached some short clips to show different testing after spending a week trying to figure out if it was indeed pilot error, and testing different timelines of attack (including straight out of Navy tacops for the Tomcat). It seems the radar flickers on and off, losing the lock (but Jester doesn't know it). Nothing goes pitbull (if it does, it's rare, and tracks poorly). I've tried STT. but experience the same issue whether at 65nm, 35nm, or <10nm. I've complained in private about the AIM-54s being neutered for "balance", but now the aircraft is not even capable of defending itself against novice players. Here's a clip of Jester failing to lock a target at 12 o'clock, flying level with no ECM. Painted SA with RWS, then tried locking with TWS unsuccessfully, then STT unsuccessfully, then TWS unsuccessfully again before being launched on and having to dive: https://clips.twitch.tv/JazzyCrypticGuanacoMikeHogu-_a8whiG8ENIymA6R Here's another clip, target is flickering in the SA page, not running ECM, and over the water. Unable to lock via TWS and unable to lock STT: https://clips.twitch.tv/KathishCuriousButterTheThing-eYwW5E5w_vqD1HCs The issue is NOT Jester, and we tested this with a human RIO to confirm. Same thing-- enemy plane flying high, level, and not running ECM or jammer. TWS lock failed multiple times, 2x missile launch never went pitbull, but targets were never out of radar cone / gimbal limit. The aircraft is currently unflyable in this condition, and worst of all, I cannot explain or figure out what is causing the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Double posting, but I dropped this in the last bug feedback thread, thinking it was this one. Wanted to tag @IronMike as well.

I'm actually having an issue with this, as helios renders the viewports in my view in vr as well.

Hey it's bad news, but I'd rather tell you than not. 2 p.m. yesterday I met up with someone and bought one local. Good luck with the sale.

Still looking to sell? I'm based in Florida.

Interested in the stick if you still have it. I'm based in Florida.

I'm based in Orlando, but have an airplane so I bounce all around FL. Would love to meet up to talk simpits, airplanes, DCS, (and maybe even convince you to sell me the throttle ). Email me ali@kable.one or hop on The War Server discord and get me. (https://www.thewarserver.com)

I have not flown the Harrier since my post, because the issue happened between flights mid-game. I'm now an F-14 guy thanks to the Harrier having a bug.

2.7OB F-14 Crashes when asking Jester for Steerpoint from Map. No log available. Crashes to desktop. Reproduced 100% of the time with different clients. All clients tested were in VR, connected to a dedicated MP server.

+2 confirmed. Myself and another player both independently experiencing crash to desktop in F-14 when asking jester to steerpoint from map. We were both in VR, and reproduced the issue several times.

Unable to generate RPMs in cold start on airfield or LHD. Tested in both Multiplayer and single player. Engine spools during normal startup process, but RPMs never appear. Strangely, the workaround is using autostart (which uses the same procedures that don't work when manually completed). Autostart is not allowed on The War Server, so my plane is out until the bug is fixed. Don't have a track file on hand on my phone, but I'll hop back on later and add it.

Harrier is broken again as of March 5th update. Cold start does not work on airfield or LHD. The engine spools, but never produces any rpm. The workaround is autostart, but we have that banned on The War Server, so I can't fly my primary fighter until it's fixed.
