This sounds more like a case of laser burnout .. I read somewhere that it was implemented last year

"Tiny" amount of rudder towards the carrier, and keeps wings level. Forward speed will take care of the rest. At least that's how I'm doing it.

Well, thank you! That was the piece my puzzle was missing. Trimming & stick (trim seems to react too slowly sometimes) to keep the witches hat at the horizon and nozzle angle for speed. It's amazing the difference than 1° does!

I've seen this too...Usually when I fired them under a 3km range they don't track. I think they might have a minimum range

@netizensmithsorry for the thread hijack but it does seems that we are having a good conversation. I noticed the similarities between AAR and flying in formation with the carrier too.

hhmm Keeping the nozzles at around 80 to match the speed of the carrier didn't occur to me, but it does seems the right thing to do...

and more Practice with a big dose of Patience... That slow speed maneuvering, while watching and moving (in different directions) the witch hat and velocity vectors is hard! PIO is a thing! I had to break the habit of trying to force the landing. Now if the approach doesn't feel right , I just wave off and reset. @netizensmithPARE! This link helped me a lot with spin recovery: https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/maneuvers/the-four-steps-of-spin-recovery-explained-pare-fly-it-safely/

LOL... Yeah, that was my prior goal! Now, assuming I don't bounce or slip out of the deck, I can put the Harrier on the Tarawa every time...Most of them, in one piece and able to take off again. After a few VL attempts in the carrier that failed miserably, I came across with the Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing concept and started doing it. It is very similar to a short landing, just the "runway" is shorter, slimmer and its moving ... Once I was a able to recover successfully a few times, I reduced my approach speed ... Eventually, I was hovering above the deck. I've setup a few quick, short range missions where I take off from the Tarawa, go to a nearby shooting range, do a quick (1 or 2 passes) weapons work and then come back to the carrier, rearm, refuel and repeat. Sometimes, I just skip the trip to the range and just do take off and landings. Also, I setup another mission, on flat terrain, with one FARP and just practice VTO, leave the nozzles at 82 and do a circuit, then come back to the FARP and VL. AAR on the other hand eludes me... At least I haven't crashed into the tanker....yet....

I'm in the same process... Right now on AAR and trying to make my VL on the Tarawa "prettier" . One bad habit that I'm trying to break is to expend too much time zoomed in the MFD's . I trying to look at them fo no more than 10 to 15 seconds and then check the HUD. Also, I've found Tacview very useful to review my sorties. Ended up buying the standard version after the trial.

AOA of 26+ (watching it in accelerated time, so didn't catch the exam number).. I'm still learning, but one of the first hard lessons was to learn to watch my AOA to avoid flying my plain into a flat spin... From Chucks Guide: The next skill to learn is how to recover from flat spins

Somebody change something at the last minute....

Well, I just fired up the Harrier after today's update, and the blurriness continues ... However, I was bored (more than usual) and had time, so I decided to do a test of the Gain & Contrast in 2D and VR. My result where the same for both: Reduce Gain by 50 clicks and Contrast by 10 and the moving map is usable again. The other displays improve as well.

This is awesome. Thank you!

VR user here... Add me to the list ... Fix please

EDIT: Pedal mount no longer available. I'm selling a package of two (2) J-Pein desk mounts for throttle and joystick and one (1) pedal mount plus the associate hardware. Used, good shaped and functional. Price is $150 $90 shipped CONUS. Paypal (you cover the fees), Zelle, Postal Money Order or Check (will wait for it to clear before shipping) I'm very new to this community but I can provide references of my conduct as a seller in eBay and other forums if needed. Links to the mount's Amazon pages for reference: Joystick & Throttle Pedal

I'm new too and I'm still learning it... There was a change to the behavior that made to the stable version by the end of December . Double tapping SSS Down should give you control of the TPOD with TDC Check out this thread... Hope it helps and apologies if I'm mistaken

Thanks Terry. I forgot about this thread (Holidays & having too much fun flying the harrier) but I received the parts a couple of weeks ago (made with MFJ P12) and so far so good. Thanks again for the models!

Awesome! Pre-ordered!

Thanks!

Does anybody has a spare???? Running open beta (2.5.6.59625 at the time of posting) and no mods. I'm new to DCS, the Harrier and this community, so this might well be a chair-keyboard interface issue ... If this happening to anybody else? Fix?

Sorry for the necro post but I order from Shapeways using the "edited" file for the side clamp and Gray MJF Plastic PA12. Got this message from them: Any recommendations? And, thanks a lot for these models!
