I really, really appreciate Jester’s speed callouts. Thank you for the hard work, I see it and enjoy it almost every day. The down side is I am now very aware of how much I absolutely suck at energy management. I’m either rocketing past (and losing angles) where I want to be, or fighting a stall/wing flip buffet from being too slow. Jester’s call outs are helping me unlearn self taught, bad habits. 
 

I’m still positively awful, don’t get me wrong, but Jester has become a legit force multiplier. How insanely difficult it must be to code software that has to react dynamically to encounters that are each different than any others. 
 

My one niggle, I wonder if it’s doable to break out Jester’s voice volume as a separate slider? Not a game breaker or non negotiable, more of a wish understanding it’s far easier to wish for something than to actually implement it. 
 

Thank you for your consideration. 

 

 

You have an ICS volume knob.

Thanks, wasn’t aware that was functional.

Yep, I have added lowering the ICS volume to my startup checklist...one of the first things I do.  Even with the helmet volume lowered in the menu, Jester is still way too loud for some reason.

Fire extinguishing button doesn't work...maybe i'm doing something wrong, can anyone confirm?

Yeah, the physical button does not work. Its bindable under controls though

Do I understand correctly that it will work from the keyboard?

UPD: no, it doesn't work

Does HB know about this?

FYI - Reinstall the F-14 module seems to solve the problem of crash at respawn.

 

EDIT : I have less crash but it still happens

I posted about that when they first added the feature, and there response was that if there's too much fire, the extinguisher won't be enough to put it out, so chances are your fire was too big.

 

While I'm here, is there any update on the static Over-oversweep bug?

Jester bailed out on me - canopy only looked like raised and was still in place in cockpit view (VR). External F2 view showed no canopy.

 

I experienced the same issue, non-vr. So far I've had two instances of taking some damage, and Jester being Jester, bailed out to inspect the ground up close.
In cockpit view the canopy looks as if it's raised, whilst in F2 it's gone.

 

I am using mods, though, including Drunken Sailor's F-14 cockpit mod, although that only edits the consoles' visuals afaik.

Unfortunately not for me.

Nothing on the F14 in the latest patch notes from ED, does this mean that no fixes made it into the latest patch, or that they are just missing from the patch notes?

Missed that?

When do we finally get the U.S. Navy and IRIAF early As, the USS Forrestal and the Iranian campaign? This is really getting old. This stuff was supposed to be done by March. It's now June. What's the hold-up? 

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

I use the R2D2 mod to solve the "Jester jumping ship" problem. I appreciate the effort of making the F-14A &B. Please keep up the good work.
