Harry.R

Sorry, I can't see where the confusion is? The gun wasn't fitted. The gun pod that surrounded the gun was a standard fit. No guns. As much as they might have wanted guns.

They couldn't . The pods were maintained but no cannon fitted. Happy new year btw.

UK modern Harriers had no cannon unlike the Gr.3 above, although they flew with the cannon pods fitted, but if removed strakes were fitted in place of the pods. Various 'options' available. ;)

Forget Brimstone. Your more likely to see two mavs (after 2001), crv7 rockets or some pgms (LGBs) hanging off a 'leaping heap'.

The GR.7 had 90 seconds of demineralised water to use for the hovver, after that then you'll start to damage the engine. Normal return to base was with two fuel tanks, although a rolling vertical landing was more usual with a heavier jet and some jets performed better than others. Most jets had different size leading edge root extensions fitted (LERX) which made a difference to performance. Very unusual/almost unheard of for a Harrier to hovver land with a heavy load out, especially if they were anywhere hot/high. If heavy they'd do a conventional landing, and in an emergency a straight in fix throttle approach seemed to be the norm. Hope that helps a bit?

S worked for me but took a while to register and I almost ran off the pavement a few times :music_whistling:. Only other thing would be to press escape and reset the controls?

Can we have the option of a bottle of red at lunch before an afternoon sortie? :joystick:

Random, the Gr.7 would have be 25 years old and most systems are simple and comparable to aircraft of the era, like Tornado Gr.1, F-16A or F/A-18 (without the radars..). Hopefully the information is available for most systems apart from the rwr and das. As you say, the Gr.9 would be slightly different as it is a lot more recent and the tech would still be classified. :music_whistling:

The differences are considerable. Vastly Improved engine (107 on some frames), avionics, weapons and overall performance. I miss it.

I'm just wondering what else makes the AV8B special apart from the guns/radar/engine? The GR.7/9 was night attack as well, and pretty accurate at both night/day bombing & rockets.

Brilliant news. Flyingscotsman, snap on the t-bird trip, mine got snagged after an ocu stude broke it on the preceding sortie. :(

Guys, the ED folks probably go home at 5pm. 25th is all day tomorrow...

The Brit GR.7 would be great and probably easier to do than a radar equipped Boeing version. It would be nice to use hides as well and be fairly near the front line to. Better not hovver for more than 90 seconds though, or try vl' ing with stores aboard on a hot day ;)

Ec725 Caracal would be great, especially if CSAR ever became a reality in DCS.

When does ED stop for the holidays? I've finished today and I'm sure others have to. Any ideas?

It will work in 2.0 Alpha if it was released tomorrow?

If it doesn't come out at least you can go to Whistler and ski this weekend!

Fingers crossed...and toes!

Last tease of the week. Next tease is first tease of the weekend. ;)

At least you pushed it onto page 51. P51..it's a sign. Apparently a bloke in the pub said Razbam will only release it when we get to p2000! :music_whistling:

My banks going to hate me! I'm in, now unleash the BETA, merci!

1.JaVA_Platypus not only do the colours look different so does the Firefly/Drakken ;)

I'm sure I read that they are doing a clip wing and possibly a fully wing version if they can get the tech to work. :joystick:

What about the F-15, I can never seem to get out of the HAS site in one because it steers worse than my present car! Having been a few feet from F-15Es on a flight line I can see that F-15E must have far superior steering to the C, not one of them managed to ploughed into to our Typhoon!

My Create Fast Mission doesn't work. I press it and nothing happens?
