Marcel, I send my best wishes to you and your family, I hope that your dads last months are ones you can cherish together.

If you fly by the tower to low does he also asks for the number to truckmaster I think it is...?

Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more. Pick a reference point on the other jet and try and keep that in view. It's easier in VR, but achievable with track-ir or thumb stick. Check X-51 Harrier display, we fly reasonably close form but have only done this by the above method, unfortunately there's no easy way young Jedi.:thumbup:

I didn't have this with VR a few nights ago, just saw the marker beam. Possibly a graphics driver update?

Merry Christmas and a GR7 New Year :thumbup:

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

On the Gr7 our NVG were focused to infinity. Pilots would adjust their IPD (distance between pupils) and set objective focus on a test box to their prescription prior to flight. As Windy said, they would 'look under' the goggles if they needed to see any instruments, or use the tilt bracket.

Nice video, although unfortunately I have to give you the bad news that you are grounded for your flagrant disregard of dangerous flying. You didn't fly underneath or bomb several bridges, and you didn't fly through the top of the sail hotel.. ;)

The problem was that we moved from 30mm Aden of the 'baby Harriers' to the then new NATO 25mm round that meant a complete redesign of the Aden. There was a difficulty reaching a target weight and we never got the cannon, although the aircraft flew with the cannon pods they carried a representative weighted shape model in each iirc.

^ as above. The pilot would do an external walk around, strap in, put the 'brick' in and carry out the start sequence, the groundcrew would already have proved systems/checked line items.

....and the TriStar tanker was from 216 Sqn RAF. DCS:TriStar coming soon. :megalol:

If MERT, CSAR or QRF was actually a thing in DCS, the Chinook would be very entertaining.

Try setting some curves and slight dead zones on your controls. I normally try to land with less that 3000lbs of fuel, I break into the circuit, pop the air-brake, throttle back to idle, drop gear, flaps to vtol, water on, then I nozzle to 89/90 and roll in to the runway, as you slow and descend add power slowly (or you'll float). When the speed gets down to 50 - 20 knots try and point into wind using the vane on the nose. Once you're established at a good height (<100 feet) and your nose/wings are level, you can you can start to get the nozzles towards 82-83 degrees. Don't add too much rudder without correcting with stick inputs or you'll end up kinda squirrely. Small inputs, small corrections and lots and lots of practice :thumbup:. If you'd like I can demo this online and talk you throught it. PM me if you'd like. no pressure ;)

No for me, I'd personally prefer something a bit punchier like a Hawker Hunter, Jagauar, A7, etc. Or..a C-130, C-27, DC-3?

I've got step 1,2 and 7 done, not sure about about the rest. For example how do you set a cap, a tanker orbit, a ground alert, how many 'things' make up a SAM site (that works)? Things like that would be useful. :thumbup:

Once they’ve got the FI under their belts then there should be no stopping Razbams third party map development, who knows what we’ll see next? The FI will be ideal Harrier territory in a hypothetical USMC vs campaign.

1 and 3 remind me of Gutersloh.. good luck.

Unless you're in a radar equipped Harrier optimised for A2A then the Sidewinders are really only there for self defence (or downing hapless L-39s/Mi-8s. Yes aware that sidewinders are not radar guided thanks ;) ).

Find your DCS folder, look for 'bin' folder. Left shift+right click and choose new process window (or something like that). Windows 10 type cmd when the window appears, then type 'DCS_Updater.exe update' and press enter.

I'm not sure...I tried NVG in the Harrier tonight and it was the same monocular effect, despite being a binocular-I call bug.

Same here, quite odd to fly at night and have to look 'around' the darkness to see the terrain.. :helpsmilie:

Only found this during build up training, hope it get fixed soon.
