Jammer pod results, for your pleasure:- Waypoint launch distances. All flights are Harrier, S & L, full power and direct. ECM pod on RCV. Harrier. Moskva, SA-10B (should be SA-N-6) Grumble. 41300' Av/Ex, 40.3 nm. 26000' Av/Ex 35.3 nm. (ECM 28.0 nm). 6000' Av/Ex 29.0 nm. (ECM 23.0 nm). Therefore, Average and Excellent skill are identical. (ECM on, in brackets). Different skill sets, are relate to reload times. 50'................No launch. Su 34, distances were slightly longer, about 2 nm. Harrier / Pyotr Velikiy. 40000' 85 nm. (Note P.V. SA10-N-6 Grumble, 69 nm. Interestingly, When attacking the Pyotr. V. from a longer range, (100 nm), it detected and fired the shorter range, SA-10B Grumble at 40 nm. I've never seen this before and it shouldn't have this model. SA-N-6: 69 nm. (ECM 32 nm). SA-10B: 39 nm. (ECM 25 nm). Flying against a SA-11 set from 40000' and 80 nm. Launch at 21 nm. With ECM on, launch at 12 nm. Missile can also be made to destruct by turning on ECM after launch. Harrier v SA-15 solo. (Adding search radar made no difference). 30000' No launch. 10500', 30 nm, launch at 8.7 nm. With ECM 5.0 nm. SA-10B Grumble, land template. 40000'. Launch at 40.0 nm, With ECM, 29.5 nm. Turn on ECM ater launch. 1st missile destruct 2nd missile missed. Handy to know, if you want to deplete stock before using chaff. SA-8. 10500'. Launch. 7.5 nm. 460'. Launch. 7.2 nm. (ECM 3.9 nm). SA-2 combo. 50000' Launch, 25 nm. (F-15). 40000' Launch, 34 nm. (ECM 21.0 nm). 30000'Launch, 25 nm. (ECM 16.0 nm). 10000' Launch, 19 nm. (ECM no launch / 6.5 nm). 1000' Launch, 8.0 nm (ECM 6.6). KILL. This is the only way to get killed. Head on straight into its face. 500'. No launch. You don't need any countermeasures with this one, it will never hit you. Missile will always pass behind on a lag persuit. Devs say, it's working as intended. Found a plane it can kill. A-10 is slow enough for it to get near enough for the proxy fuse to go off, but not in a crossing situation. Load the Harrier with a decent weight to slow it down and it might have a chance. Pity such a good looking rocket, has such poor performance in DCS, despite having a huge number of kills IRL, maybe more than any other SAM in history. It had a huge damage blast radius, which increases with altitude, something that is poorly represented in DCS. SA-3 combo. 30000', Launch, 12.0 nm, (ECM 11.2). 20000', Launch, 12.3 nm, (ECM 11.4). 10000', Launch, 11.0 nm, (ECM 10.2). These were all much less distance than I expected, with the ECM making the least difference of all of them. Conclusion: ECM makes a big difference, with reduced detection and launch ranges in every case so far. Take a pod if you want an easier life. ..

Yes, I have both from about 2008. You say, not 5 years. What I'm trying to get at is how long from start to finish. The Harrier has been about 3 years in total, to its present state. ..

OK. Thanks for the finest representation of a Harrier, The World has ever known. ..

While you're at it, you might like to report on my track file, you said you required. ..

You're welcome. ..

Just for interest sake. How long did the A10C take from start to release? ..

A Ukrainian aircraft which crashed earlier this week in Iran had flown close to a sensitive military site belonging to the elite Revolutionary Guards and was shot down unintentionally due to human error, the Iranian military said in a statement read on state TV on Saturday. The responsible parties would be referred to a judicial department within the military and held accountable, the statement said. All 176 people on board were killed in the crash. The Iranian military statement expressed condolences to the families of the victims. The United States and Canada had said that the plane was shot down, a claim Iran had initially denied. ..

Iranian official, says this morning, It was not a missile but mechanical failure of the aircraft and pilots attempted to turn back. ..

No, I've done my bit for the economy. East and South coast and Northern Europe for 30 years or so. Now flying my favourite. The Harrier. :pilotfly: ..

There is a training mission available for the Sidearm. I've never used that mission, but briefly, Sidearm won't work if there is no emmision. It will detect the emmiter first from about 11 nm and then lock on. Then you can shoot. ..

Hello Dave. All of my Lock On/DCS was learnt in a cabin off the East coast, A10A then Black Shark That was 13 years ago. DCS just gets better. Good Luck. ..

Of course the Harrier is worth half off. This applies to all EA modules. They're worth half off. When they become complete, they're worth full price. ..

Same here and it works well. ..

Helicopters on the Hermes,spawn correctly, but slide back on the deck at 0 kts, before taking off. Update: Everything is now working well. Stable version. ..

My 4 Harriers are taking off in pairs. The first one climbs, then jumps and goes into the sea. the rest circuit, then land and crash, without performing their mission. Heicopters on the Hermes, slide back on the deck at 0 kts, before taking off. Stable version. ..

French airforce Pilots feedback has been recieved regularly, since the module came out, all stating it's exactly like the real thing. Commercial pilot feedback has also been recieved, stating the oposite. Who do you want to believe? Demonstrating flying the machine inverted, or without a cyclic, had no effect on the argument. You don't need to be a pilot to understand the physics involved in aircraft flight. ..

The Harrier spawns on the Stbd quarter for me perfectly well and always has done. Bow spawn for the 72 version or 4 choppers. ..

Don't forget to add the misalignment of the gun to the list of faults. ..

It's now been a year since I bought the Harrier. half price for 28 smackers. Was it worth it?...... Damn right it was. I haven't flown anything else since, except to see if things still work. Is it worth it?........ Damn right it is. ..

That TOO button was fixed a long time ago. ..

SSD is the biggest single improvement I ever made for DCS and other games. I simply don't get stuttering, (SP). ..

Saved games/DCS. (Changed to before and after, midday views). Detailing missing on winches, crane and various island equipement. Hull sides and doors much darker than island and deck. ..

Texture file now 346 mb. All models now show in editor and no lock up on the map. Still textures missing all over the place, especially the machinery and stbd flat sides. Big give away, is no mesh on the radar. ..

Same here. Large number of textures missing. Mission editor locks up with 81 version. Download zip file is 338 mb. Is that correct? Default texture file is smaller than original. 170 mb instead of 254 mb. ..

Su-24 v Pyotr V. Kh 31P. Launch from 50 nm @ 40000'. ..
