Interesting.... My disconnects started last evening.... The upgrade to v25 happened a few days ago... I'll send them the logs as well

Excellent! I preordered back in January and received the confirmation email... Do I need to update the order form? Sorry, not clear to me (must had missed a post or something...)

Negative... They have been behaving properly as of late.

I dunno how the real thing looks like ... But from my perspective a bug is a logical error in the code... This is just a terrible choice of font

Yup that is why I'm asking... Can't get the IPD right, so my virtual stick matches the real one .. Nick picking perhaps but I do this for fun

Not a "bug" per se but a very bad change that need to be reverted

Trying to adjust my VR setup... Does anybody here knows the distance between the back of the seat and the stick?

That's sounds like a bug... Next time I see that they do not respond to guidance, I'll try reselecting them. I used the APKWS last night in one range session... 28 launches, 27 hits , The miss was caused for a faulty hotas/chair interface.... I forgot to fire the laser on that one ... I was testing some changes to my HOTAS setup: mapped the TPOD zoom and laser fire MFD buttons to my HOTAS. Also mapped the IRMAV FOV toggle ... This allow me to fire laser guided weapons & IRMAV without taking my hands off the stick & throttle.

Use nozzles position & throttle for speed... keep the witches hat on the horizon ... During transition from wing borne flight to hover I use trim but once hovering I use the stick, since trim seems to have no effect while hovering... I assume (might be totally wrong since I haven't researched it, nor I am a SME on this, mind you) that the reaction control system does not respond to trim inputs but only to the rudder pedals and stick... My way to develop the muscle memory necessary to beat the PIO was the starting with a moving (straight line) Tarawa at 27 knots (real life has a max of 24 knots but I did not know at the time...) and do a rolling vertical landing (link posted above) , when it became easy, I reduce the speed of the Tarawa, which forces a reduce of the approach speed... Eventually I was able to fly in formation with the Tarawa (see tip about using nozzles to match speed) ... After that, most of that low speed PIO was gone.

bummer.... I have an upgraded slew switch inbound and was hopping that was the solution... I'm having fun with the Harrier but kinda frustrated at the same time with all of these issue, specially the readability of the cockpit. Today I decided to jump into the Hornet's cockpit and boy! Those MFD's and instruments are gorgeous ! I can read them very easily with the same setup which I cannot read the Harrier's! I'm sure the Hornet has its own issues as well, I haven't really done much with it yet I have the feeling that is about to change. The discussion here, inspired this newbie to do some dogfighting... AV8B vs A4E 2.0 and F18C vs A4E. The rookie IA on the A4 kicked my rear end on the Harrier... But I easily defeated it with the Hornet.... The A4 had Sidewinders, I had only guns.... For what its worth ...

@Fri13Are you using a TM Warthog with the TDC axes mapped to the slew nipple/mini mouse thingy by any chance ? I have and experience something similar when my finger touches it while moving the throttle ... It is kind of detecting a TDC down even though my TDC down is mapped to a different button and I have nothing mapped to the slew nipple press action...

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.
