I think it is the LITENING that allows you to do that.

None, they are the same. "Free Flying" just means that they are not guided. I think that "Folding Fin" is an US naming convention based on the fact that the fins are folded against the rocket's body. Free Flying I have seen in many munitions literature and they encompass all non guided aerial rockets. They are also called FFAR (Free Flying Aerial Rocket).

We do not control how the mirror works. That is all on ED. I will ask if there is a way to lower the resolution but I doubt it.

Yes!

I wasn't aware of that. I checked, the GUB-31 is based on the MK-84 so that one is out. The AV-8B does not carry MK-84s. The GBU-38 is based on the MK-82 so that one will be included. Thanks for the help!

Someone on the team asked the same question and the reply is the same: This list shows the available weapons in DCS. So far JDAMs are not modeled in DCS. Depending on complexity we will see if it is feasible for us to model them and then we will update the weapons list accordingly.

The E is in the DCS available weapons list.

Operationally that may be the case but both N/A and Plus can use it.

These are the weapons available to the AV-8B N/A: AIM-9M MK-81 MK-82 LD MK-82 Snakeye MK-82 AIR MK-83 MK-20 Rockeye GBU-12 GBU-16 GBU-38 (JDAM) BDU-33 AGM-65D Maverick (IR) AGM-65E Maverick (Laser) AGM-65K Maverick (CCD) AGM-65H (Training) AGM-122 Sidearm (Sidewinder based Anti-radiation missile. To be developed by us) LAU-10 (FFR x 4 HE) LAU61C (FFR x 19 HE) LAU61C (FFR x 19 WP) LAU68D (FFR x 7 Practice) LAU68D (FFR x 7 HE) LAU68D (FFR x 7 WP) LAU68D (FFR x 7 Parachute illumination) LAU68D (FFR x 7 Practice smoke) FFR = Free Flying Rocket HE = High Explosive WP = White Phosphorous

Just a few more loadouts samples:

I think I will just leave this here: ;)

Basic HUD is almost ready. Only thing left is the heading tape. This is the basic NAV mode HUD. It provides the following information: Indicated Air Speed (Knots), Altitude (Barometric or Radar), Angle Of Attack, Mach number, Aircraft Gs, Ground Speed (Knots), Max attained G, Vertical Velocity (feet per minute), Auxiliary heading reading (True or magnetic. Default is True).

The following video is the first test of the AV-8B N/A HUD. It is in its early stages. Only the pitch ladder, VVM and waterline marker are available.

It can also carry targeting pods there. For DCS the default configuration will be no pods, just the strakes.

The AV-8B (any variant) does not have an internal gun. So, it must carry one in a gun pod. It is the same situation with the Harrier GR.7/GR.9.

Folks a fix is now being tested. The problem was that the autolock filter is using a fixed radar aperture, but the aperture changes with CCM mode. If the fix works it will be available on next update.

Classified items will not be disclosed by anybody in the know since the legal risks are high. Also, they are also aware that there are lives in play with these systems especially when dealing with defensive systems.

Can't really comment on that until further notice.

Everything is in its initial stage. The engine is generic, the wings are generic planforms, etc. So engine and flight dynamics are not even in the ballpark for the aircraft. This is a systems test. But from this rough template the AV-8B Night Attack will be born.

This is an early test of the VA-8B Night Attack The aircraft is not even Alpha. Prowler is just learning how to operate it.

They are AC.

ED is finishing the weapons templates for both BAP-100 and Belouga. We will incorporate the changes as soon as they are available. You can use the Belougas right now, but at this time they behave like Rockeyes, with the new template they will behave like the real ones.

The aircraft is under review for Steam release. We don't have a release date, we will advise you accordingly.

Nice. I hope you did not had any problem with the automatic numbering system.

Forward: Boresight -> Vertical/HUD -> Boresight Aft: Horizontal 1 (High PRF) -> Horizontal 2 (Mid PRF) -> Horizontal 1 Unlock -> Cancel CCM
