I guess there is no caption on the warning panel or anywhere to say they are deployed?

Was that the B17 that was PC only? There was an even older B17 game (I had it on amiga, probably PC and ST too?) that was a bit better I thought. I dont remember that you could fly the fighters on the old one. It was pretty cool to put your plane into a dive to try and put a fire out and then limp home with only 2 or 3 engines :) Anyway... Ill back down from the Harrier vote, instead ill give my vote to Tornado. Not least because the old Tornado game really needs some remake love!! My first experiance of toss bombing and runway denial action. I think DCS would benefit from a strike aircraft. Too many times in A10 so far and BS I feel the need to go off hunting SAM sites and high importance targets that arent really what i'm on the battlefield for. Terrain following deep into enemy territory to wipe out the other sides runways to gain air superiority for your sharks and/or hogs? :)

Cheers mate, I figured that was the case, just havent had the time to put into it recently. appreciate the help :)

Cool vid nicely made! Quick question... when using the ground stabalise mode like that, is the maverick actually 'locking' onto a target it can see or is it just firing at the point the sensor is looking at(which happens to be right over a target)? if you get my point!

I get that a lot, usually forget to find a target after i slew to spi as it ground fixes but hasn't actually acquired a targwt

Harsh? Why spend the time to reply while being so negative .. Did i just do the same?? Lol.

A smaller Harrier fleet can be just as effective due to its serviceability rate compared to tonka. However,I may have to change my fanboyism soon as it looks like I'm off to marham or coningsby within the next 6 months. 'What do you mean it can't hover???' :)

I don't think labour would have been that bad, just desperately needed a new leader. The cuts have had no thought put into them at all, for Cameron to say that the tonka is more versatile than the Harrier is ridiculous. Tonka is also 7 times more expensive than the Harrier....is that really good value for money? I think it basically came down to the RAF and RN being childish and saying 'well you are getting your carriers so we are keeping our tornados!' As for Nimrod...crazy...

Im sold :)

I want one.... but I cant even afford to get my cougar fixed :(

I really like the Shark, I like the way the systems are that little bit differant to western systems and im not used to flying a chopper. Its a powerful beast when put to good use. But yeah, get A10C its equally awesome in a more western polished way! And you will get upto speed on the systems for when the final release is out.

Harrier... :) Would be even more awesome now they are going out of service.

lol? F35s are already on order, wont be in service untill about 2020 I imagine. There was a rumour that we would lease some F18's but that has been put to bed now. We could mod the Chinooks and Merlins with Mavericks I guess :joystick:

Well the Nimrod MR2 was already retired earlier this year, and now the new MRA4s have been scrapped. So yeah unfortunately the Nimrod has been given the axe good and proper. UK's military is now a shambles :(

We also have got two new shiney carriers with no jets to put on them... fail!

The Harriers endurance wasnt ideal either, the RN Carriers were positioned well away from the action due to the threat of Exocets. So really we can call the endurance issue equal, the 'la Muerta Negra' did good :)

A Harrier will pull upto 2Gs with the nozzles at braking stops, that's a fact. If anyone says otherwise they are ill informed or making assumptions.

Its a good job they haven't just found oil in the Falklands really.... oh hang on....

Just been given the news, run down will be pretty quick. Sad day for RAF and Navy a big chunk of British military history and engineering down the pan.

Theres a good story that 801 Sqn pilots will tell you about their last tactical flight, 5 FA2's against 4 GR4s, 2 Jags and 5 5 F15s... all enemy aircraft destroyed. I know that GG will have an intelligent excuse for the Eagles demise but im happy in the knowledge that the Harrier can kick ass. Hey ED, get the Harrier made so we can put all this to the ultimate test ;)

Lemme buy you a beer and we can argue over that, you know what you know and I know what I know. I vote for Harrier by the way :P

Its kinda amusing how you pretty much dismiss one persons figures on Harrier A2A performance and then expect us to have faith in yours. Comments I have heard from real Harrier pilots are mostly the opposite of your comments. 75% is impressive for an aircraft that lacks superiority in every way ;) You can sing whichever tune works best for you, Harrier gets the job done, fact ;)

Im glad some people on here are seeing sense and dont just believe what they like about these silly US jets! :joystick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtQRHm1CZdI captain slow takes one for a spin

Wow some of the guys at ED dont know much about aircraft, Im suprised at how many of you guys really think the Harrier is a bad dogfighter, everyone seems blinded by their faithful f15 and f18s. The Harriers anhedral wings actually increase its ability to turn by being inherently unstable, I doubt there is many aircraft that can roll as fast as a Harrier. Harrier already proved itself against fighters made in the last 40 years, shot down mirages for fun. Back to school for you guys!

Thers plenty of fixed wing aircraft in DCS, not all flyable.. and none of them can hover.. Dogfighting the Harrier will kick most fighters asses thanks to its agility, GR9 only has aim9s so BVR isnt its strong point :P The FA2 was a different matter though.. FA2 + AMRAAM = Awesomness. Anyway, you said I could have a Harrier so run along and get making it ;)
