Harry.R

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.

Nice stream, I flew into Khasab many years ago, it looked very familiar as did the coast route after that :thumbup:. Have you modeled the polution 'haze' that hangs over the gulf these days?

Well done guys!

The Harrier has the glide ratio of a house brick. IIRC the boldface on the FRCs for fuel starvation was eject. :)

I placed my bets on the JPs that used TLAR during the Batemans bomb competition, it always seemed to work out well ;)

From my personal experience, all the goggles I worked with either had no gain adjustment or in later models auto gain, not manual gain like in game..

NVG brightness is set by outside light condition not by the pilot. Turn up your gamma?

Yes, I have the same problems here. I know of such a leader, he is Danish and like bacon.

Mr.Maverick you could lead? It is easier to get a wingman than a lead?

https://tacairnet.com/2016/08/10/watch-this-raf-harrier-destroy-part-of-a-runway-with-its-thrust/ Typical 3 Sqn...Any jet would have done this to be fair. In the UK this year a Vampire jet ripped up a runway taking off for a display.

I'm sure the Viggen guys were going to implement something like that, you could order them to meet you somewhere on the map? The ability to drop a NATO 'T' (although off topic) and have a nearby tanker for helicopters would also be good. Although we talk of FARPS, the DCS maps have plenty of airfields, these would be FOBs (Forward Operating Base) and would be where most of the fleet would live and operate during any operation.

A Harrier needs a length of runway/road/matting/hard grass to get airborne with a useful fuel/weapons load, although it can recover vertically after most of the fuel and weapons are expended. IIRC DCS FARPs were designed with helicopters in mind.

I understand USMC Harriers used a FARP near Baghdad during Gulf war 2.

Thanks Zeus, what Pipe said ^ and also what WAR said \/, but not what NeilWillis said! ;)

I’m with you WAR, I’m sure it’ll be toned down during ea. I only ever saw it at night on the 7 and 10 so can’t speak from AV8B experience

In the UK ‘You’ would wear your ‘nite’ helmet and carry the goggs out to the jet for attaching later if you were flying a day into night trip. The difference comes when you use the same Gentex helmet for day and night flying which means fitting an NVG banana bar. This is a sim though so potentially you could just press the N key and avoid all the hassle. :lol:

Thanks, I've seen that incident video before and it's the first time I noticed the hot nozzle glow. :music_whistling::lol:
