I don't use it for Mavericks either. I guess it's just a switch that doesn't work quite like it's supposed to. Or maybe you just don't need it, as C O says. ..

It's certainly doable in game. I've never touched the cooling switch. Does it actually do anything? ..

My 1st encounter, after a lay up, with the mighty "Hermes" and my favourite airplane. My thanks to joey45, for the perfect complement to the Harrier. ..

I'll be well pissed, if all the whiners here, cause a VEAO type meltdown, because their switch doesn't work and the Harrier is consigned to history, alongside the Hawk and nobody will be able to use it, more importantly me and my most used aircraft. ..

I'm re-installing at the moment, after a SSD/HDD double failure. New C and D drive. All progs wiped out. New win 10 O/S install. D/L DCS (33 gb). Install automatically to "C". D/L modules and activate in turn on the install page. All very straight forward. :). ..

Hold the pickle button down, untill the first drop is completed. ..

This question has come up a few times. Here's one of them. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=174732 I have a preferance for the retarded OFABs. They are not pinpoint bombs. They spread out very quickly and cover a wide area. Drop them from low altitude, (below 250'). Look down the nose to aim, you can't miss. Full power and drop the lot in a sequence, either straight and level or a low level pop up. GL. ..

"C" drive SSD O/S failure. Reference. PC completely dead. (2 days trying to kiss life into it). Installed. New 500 gb SSD. £53. New 10 pro O/S £12. New net dongle £5. O/S installed on new SSD "C" drive. DCS still works on "D" HDD drive, but all Saved games file entries lost from C drive. Missions, tracks, screenies, etc, all gone. Switch Assignments lost for X-52. Repair/Update lost for DCS. Programs on 3 HHDs still work, but are not recognised by the O/S. (register lost). Steam. 24 games, most needed work. 2 don't work. Warthunder, WoWS, work OK. D/L Logitek driver for X-52. X-52 pinky switch shift. No. 6 is the pinkie. You have to assign it in the Saitek programmer before it will work in DCS. Open profile editor, switch to grid view. Delete the Mode 1 + Pinkie, Mode 2 + Pinkie, Mode 3 + Pinkie. Save the profile with a name and close. Enable the saved profile for DCS. This will enable your pinkey to be used as a modifier in DCS. (It sometimes gets corrupted with updates). Downloading DCS to SSD. ( about 20 hours plus). HTTP failed with 4 gb to go. (85083.077 ERROR: Server capacity may be limited at the moment. Please, try again later).. Tranferred to the slower torrent load, (desparately slow). Torrent ground to a halt, so back to HTTP @ 350kbs. This is hard work! Can the plane modules be transferred from "D" to "C" or do they need to be downloaded aswell? This question has now become academic, as the "D" HDD has just failed, wiping out all of my remaining games (about 40 including 24 Steam). Plus all the other stuff that makes up 800 gb. DCS download complete. About 26 hours. Now starting Harrier download . 966 mb. Installation was faultless. No activation required. DCS opening time now about 16 seconds. With 1 mod (Harrier) installed, everything is zip fast, compared to what I've been use to. Added Spitfire and L39. Apart from long DCS download, (my slow net), everything has been very easy to install. At ingame opening screen. Modules list: choose which Install, to start download. Installed list: Click, serial number/clipboard/DRM/activate/. Took about a month to get most stuff back and installed, mostly from backups. ..

A warning to anybody tempted to try installing FC 1 on windows 10. With 'Lock On' installed for many years, I decided to try it with FC1 added. After completing the installation, it required a restart, (funny I thought). It restarted with an, Automatic Repair, running, which finished with 'Automatic Repair couldn't repair your pc'. The O/S is completely dead. Not a sausage, including all USB ports. This means that I can't click on the 'Advanced Options' because no mouse. What to do! I've run out of ideas, so I've ordered a new OS and SSD, hoping this will get me going again. Installing FC1. DON'T DO IT. Update: Maybe just a coincidence, but the SSD with operating system had died. ..

The DMT doesn't zoom, only the Maverick seeker. ..

It's a legacy from "Lock On" 2003. ..

Checking my F-86 vids from 2015 against today, showed no change whatsoever at all power settings, from 64% to 100%. So there is no drift over time. It simply remains, that fuel flow is too low at the power settings that I've checked, mainly in the max loiter/range area. E.G. 30000' 74% 1200pph (0800pph). 35000' 77% 1100pph (0900pph). It gets more accurate the higher you go. As I'm only really interested to see if the Harrier fuel flow inaccuracy is unique, I conclude that it isn't. ..

OK, Thanks. Back in 2014 I made a F-15 video, 0 - Mach 2.5, which clearly shows the fuel burn at full AB. I will check to see if it is still the same, as there have been changes made to the FM since then. 2014: 40000' 95% M 2.561 FF 41800 pph. 2019: 40000' 95% M 2.606 FF 40450 pph. No significant difference. (I don't have any fuel burn graphs for the C, so I can't go any further). ..

Studying graphs. So much information contained on a single sheet of paper. :book: To be fair to the F-86, I've shown the fuel flow at the very low loiter rpm, where very few are likely to be at, so I'll try mission fuel flows next, where the power requirement is much higher. Yes, it seems to be more of a DCS thing, which might have drifted over time. ..

@ Harlikwin. Here is an indicator to the state of play 15 months ago. Should give an idea of what has and hasn't been done since then, by elimination of known updates. ___________________________________________________________________________ From Snoopy: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196533 I’m sure RAZBAM has an internal listing but I thought I’d put together a list from the pocket guide so those of us in the community can keep track as the functions are added. I initially made this list so as we evaluate within the 476 vFG to possibly add the Harrier as a new Squadron we could keep track of some of the key things that need to be added first. If anyone sees anything I missed (or Zeus sees something I interpreted wrong from the guide) let me know. Looking forward to getting my hands on this aircraft tomorrow, she’s looking good so far from the preview videos and I’m excited for what is yet to be implemented!

Trying the F-86, as a comparison for fuel burn accuracy, with the Harrier. 1st test. Max endurance loiter clean. Actual, on the gauge flow, in brackets Predicted. 25000' 72% PPH 1250 (800lb) ..............20000' 69% 1300lb (500lb) ..............10000' 66% 1500 (500lb) ...............5000' 64% 1650 (600lb) The fuel flow a lower altitudes is way below prediction. As the alt increases, the rpm is increased to maintain CAS and the predicted fuel flow decreases. The actual flow increases. They come together at 45000'. CAS 185kt M.69 PPH 1000 lb. 87% RPM (1000 PPH) At 50000' I couldn't maintain CAS of 185 kts. Harrier (too high) and F-86 (too low) are equally inaccurate as each other, but in different directions. TBC. ..

Yes I did and yes they are and armed with this knowledge I've adjusted my way of flying to suit. I used the Decoy statement, as an example, to counter this incorrect statement and I have no comment on his actual statement. "Flightmodel is discussed between perfect fit and not good - Razbam does not say anything in that discussion" In my experience of past threads of this nature, particularly F-86 and Mig-21, Devs rarely reply to individual persons pet bugs and gripes, especially FM feelings and I can understand why. RAZBAM crew have actually been more forthcoming than most, but with Early Access becoming earlier and earlier and the list of WIPs getting longer, it's bound to take longer to completion. Don't buy EA if you can't accept this. My personal philosophy is, if a feature isn't yet implemented, then it doesn't exist on my aircraft. I use what I have got and get good at it. 250 hours of pure enjoyment on my favourite aircraft. Love it. ..

From Decoy. "The AV8B has been modelled using extensive data, the Harrier Flight model its as accurate as can be for a sim. Also as a note we have US and British Harrier pilots input on the FM, with nothing but positive feedback " ..

Here is an updated version of my previous SAM SA-11 Gadfly SEAD practice/training mission. I find the Maverick seeker movement too fast (coarse) when trying to lock it. It's supposed to have a 2 speed rate, but I haven't been able to find out how. Pay attention to the HUD 11 indicator. If it goes out, it's probably reloading and a Sidearm won't work. Use a Maverick. Don't get too close to the Gadfly site. It's easy to forget the 3 Strella 10. Samgori State Farm, SAM site, Vaziani. SEAD, Low Level Sidearm attack.
