what if....someone disconnects....

just that, what if, i am flying the plane and my human RIO got disconnected, or system crash, etc. will jester automatically replace him? or vice versa, what wold happen if a Human RIO loses his human pilot?

Don’t know about the former, but the latter has happened to a RIO I met during his transition training. His pilot had a heart attack in the groove. They hit the ramp, RIO ejected both from an F4J. Can’t recall if the pilot made it or not.

In F14, there are no flight controls in the back seat, no dual control trainers were built, so the only recourse was to eject at some point, where it made the most sense.

RIO’s had balls of steel.

Hopefully, the sim will revert to “auto-Jester”, or maybe even give the option to kick your incompetent human RIO out and let Jester do the work.

I can already envision people jumping in the backseat just to pull the handle as another way to troll someone.

You have to request to jump into the back seat currently IRRC, so I expect randoms will be prevented from doing this.

As for what would happen to a DCS RIO if their pilot disconnects, I imagine they'll get kicked back to spectator.

Yes, I seem to remember reading something to that effect. I was referring to the unsuspecting front seater accepting the request from said troll and then paying for it.

I'm sure that it will be an excellent way to earn a server ban, but DCS isn't my first online rodeo, and I have little doubt that there will be a contingent out there bent on ruining someone else's fun anywhere they can.

Ah probably yes. I'm fortunate that I can fly with people I know, so won't encounter that.

Well, unless I upset them :p

No matter your age, if you act like that, you're an immature child.

Watch, when the module comes out (on Tomcat Tuesday of course), there will be people who have never flown an airplane of any kind panning it because they are an online hero in some fictional group.

I respect the work of the developers who are dedicated to their craft. Heatblur in particular will get it right.

People just enjoy being dicks.

I would just add the word "some" to the start of that statement. Unfortunately, the few can seem like the many at times.

Believe me. It's EXACTLY the same as offline behaviour. Just a bit more pronounced. But I have to concur, I never understood that either.

I'd rather add the word "most" instead for realism, them being an absolute majority, as always

Who cares - The F-14 took my biggest fear (Dying alone) :joystick:

So who wants to be my RIO and test it? :pilotfly:
