Hi everyone, I've been trying to mod the mirrors on the harrier by adjusting the mainpanel_init.lua file using this mod as a rough guide, https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329063/ I'm trying to achieve similar results to this mod but I'm not getting anywhere could anyone give some advice, Regards,

And this is an example of how different we all are, VR is an opportunity for me to experience having a fully immersive cockpit without having the expensive of spending what would be thousands of pounds to pay for a home pit which I couldn’t afford plus I wouldn’t have the space for anyway, and I do find a level of immersion that I find authentic, however looking down at an empty seat is just for me a distraction and an immersion breaker and once I have it in my mind and particularly because there are so many options in DCS to fly aircraft that have them I’d rather choose another option, and I know there are plenty of others that feel the same way, having asked the question about the the pilot in the Mig 21 and getting a reply saying it was planned, all be it back in 2021, but then asking a question on the forums about the F4U and getting a reply that I can only take to mean they have no interest in doing one I’ve come to the decision that the F4U won’t be for me, I’m a Mig 21 customer and I hope one day Magnitude will stay true to their statement that it will be added, but after the situation with other 3rd party modules I’m far more careful with what I buy now on DCS. But anyway I don’t hold any malice I genuinely hope that people enjoy the Corsair and they can get success with it.

I do love the Corsair but by only flying in VR the only modules I have installed have an in cockpit pilot. I miss the A10 and understand that’s coming soon so will reinstall that once it gets one. I just know I would buy it and not use it so it’s not for me but I do hope other users get enjoyment from it, there’s also the situation with Mig 21 as well, I contacted them at one point, they said they were planning a pilot for that, that was the beginning of 2021. So personally I have enough modules to be looking forward to and to keep me occupied, I’m a lover of aviation so yeah of course I love the corsair. But I actually have more of a soft spot for the Hellcat. So I will focus my attention on that.

I’m not buying it because they are not adding a 1st person pilot in the cockpit. That’s the deal breaker for me as I notice it so much in VR. Looking forward to the pacific but I’ll wait for the hellcat. And yes I agree with you about the Mig21

Would love it if this could be done. I’ve been trying to work out if I can add the bL755 to the harrier too but I cant do it. I adjusted the edm files that made the sidearm change to the alarm but effectively it’s still just the sidearm. I remember seeing a picture of a GR5 i believe carrying an alarm, I don’t think it ever was operational and was just experimental but still the alarm on the British harrier looks really cool. I also worked out how to change the Deniss mod so that the colour of the nose matches different skins. Absolutely love that mod.

One thing I have noticed with the mirrors in the FC3 aircraft the Mig 29 and Sus7/33 is that the textures in the mirrors look poor, jagged and not up to the standards of other aircraft in DCS, namely the pilots helmet reflection. Will this be reworked on the full fidelity stand alone version? Also looks far to expanded like its zoomed in 4x not sure if this is just a VR thing or the same in 2D Hoping to see an improvement there.

I know at one point on the Syria map when it was first released the tree populating was awful and you could physically see the trees growing in front of your eyes (again this was VR) It helped by increasing visible range but certainly didn't eliminate the problem, of course this came at the expense of performance, eventually they improved the map and I no longer notice this. I wonder do you experience these problems on all maps or a particular map?

Are you 2D? I use VR so visually it’s no different to what I’m used to I’m just noticing the F15E for example in a mission I had saved on Caucasus map is now staying at my FPS limit without dropping frames where as before I would get intermittent drops and stutters. I find the F15E one of the more demanding modules on FPS.

I'm seeing a performance improvement thankyou.

Hope this doesn’t come at the expense of performance however I accept everything needs to move on. Here’s hoping the eventual Vulcan implementation will improve things, can’t afford a big upgrade just yet.

Pilot body looks like it has animations. Have to say this looks incredible, I’ve not bought anything since the Razbam situation but I’m not going to be able to resist this one I love the Mig29.

Ah great thanks

Where’s pre-order trailer?

Thankyou nineline DM has been sent.

I did send a ticket about it, as I was thoroughly annoyed. ED did respond and acknowledged the issue and said it will be fixed but like I said this is really dragging on now.

I’ll be honest I appreciate that a lot of effort has gone into the SA map and I agree it looks great but the Frame drop issue below around 900ft still persists and has done for ages now. I’ve been told it will be fixed but the weeks go by the months go by the years go by and no updates come to address the problem and no news on if it’s being looked at. Or if the fix has started? It’s definitely a map that if I could I would return, simply because I’m just not using it because of this issue and haven’t done since I bought it. I also didn’t realise it’s not just a VR issue it’s a problem with non VR as well. I’m guessing you don’t have the issue? but for me it makes the map unplayable and of course there’s always been a part of me that wants to, and has supported many modules and for a long time, not necessarily playing them at first but being patient and waiting for them to develop but honestly this one annoys me because it was a lot of money and I’ve got zero use from it for a long time now. If it’s working for you that’s great I’m genuinely pleased it is, but for me it’s a major disappointment.

Ok. Thankyou for the info

Could anyone tell me Is the refund still an option as of the current date? I really didn’t want to when this first happened and hoped we would find a solution but this is ongoing and my gut feeling is without a good resolution, so I am contemplating refunding the F15E if that’s still a possibility and getting a new map.

Not sure why denissoliveira and his fantastic mod doesn't get more attention, AV-8B Harrier variant pack (FRS1, FRS2, GR7/9 and Plus+) version 1.0 I think he done a tremendous job, really clever work and I really appreciate his efforts. I don't fly in his FRS1 or FRS2 mods but they look great as static. I feel like not having a radar with our harrier is just too dissimilar to the real versions. His GR9 nose mod however I fly with all the time. Cockpit wise the AV8 NA and GR7/9 were very similar. Admittedly I had to make adjustments to his mod to get the colour of the nose to match the UK Harrier skins I use, but using this and the really good British accent mod I really love flying the Harrier as an RAF jet. I'd absolutely hate to loose her. shout out to lowlevelRAF who's skin i'm using in this picture his work is tremendous. We have a great community who do some tremendous things and are often willing to do stuff for others.

Will this next update include the A10c pilot body?

At last A10C pilot body fantastic

Yeah that’s fair enough my post was aimed more at seeing if the cockpit mods could be adjusted to make them slightly darker and to make the screws less prominent as opposed to any criticism aimed in your direction

Couple of great real photos of an F14 cockpit. I’ve noticed in this picture the screws seem to be the same colour as the cockpit panels. Also the lighter grey sections of the pit look a darker shade than is often portrayed although I accept this could just be the lighting conditions when the photo was taken. Looks like quite a clean pit I’m guessing it was a fairly new cat.

Hi Currenthill. if someone has already asked this I apologise and I have a feeling with over 200 pages someone probably has but without scrolling through every page, are ww2 assets something you have an interest in and is it possible you may do some in the future? I use your Tu 95 to do close formation intercepts with the F14 and see animated crew members through the windows. Absolutely amazing work and thankyou for adding so much to our favourite flight sim.

Dear Heatblur A request! if this request has already been asked I apologise, and before people start saying that you like the addition of wires and panels in the cockpit of the Tomcat to keep the missile prep switches etc in place, I have absolutely no problem with that and in fact I’m glad Heatblur has added the feature so you can enjoy it. I would just like to request that we have an option in the mission editor to select a cockpit that doesn’t have it because I personally find it ugly. Admittedly at the moment I have to load the mission a couple of times when I first load the F14 because I still get the TCS camera problem, but sometimes I’m having to shift-R 4-5 times to get a cockpit that I personally like. I would just like to have the option if that’s a possibility HB. Best regards, and love your work as always.
