Hi Captain Orso, The original thread OP is referring to was posted by me. I'm very familiar with how the CCIP system works in the Harrier II. I've reviewed numerous hours of HUD footage as well as communicating with AV-8B pilots to confirm my hypothesis. I can say with absolute certainty, absolute certainty, this is how the system operates. Anyhow let's jump straight in. Here's a quick graphic I've thrown together; Scene 1 is the aircraft in CCIP mode with the dashed cross sitting atop the tank, the actual cross is outside of the HUD's FOV as represented by the red rectangle. You'll also notice the reflected cue is about halfway up the fall line. The length from the reflected cue to the dashed cross = the distance from the dashed cross to the actual cross. That's the purpose of the reflected cue. With the aircraft in AG MODE, CCIP mode selected and the dashed cross on the tank the pilot holds down the WEAPON RELEASE button on his stick. It is held down until the bomb leaves the aircraft or the attack is aborted. Holding it down coverts the aircraft into AUTO mode (or CCRP as it's traditionally known). The symbology changes to reflect that, the line becomes an ASL and is solid. Scene 2 is the aircraft in AUTO mode with the AUTO mode symbology on the HUD. You can see the release cue has risen to the VV (Velocity Vector) and as such the bomb has been released. In this particular example the tank is within the HUD FOV but that doesn't always need to be the case. If the tank was outside of the HUD FOV the ASL would simply extend beyond the bottom of the HUD FOV. Finally CCIP-to-AUTO is not a mode. It's a conversion the computer performs. You command the conversion. As someone else suggested it's very similar to the A-10C's "consent to release" mode. The Su-25T also has a similar system, a video here, skip to 1:37;

DanielNL is bang on the money as ever, he must have an IQ of 180. If I wanna hop in the back seat of an F-14 and **** some dude's plane up that's my right to do so. I mean it's literally 50/50 ownership of the aircraft right. And let's be honest, the F-14 is basically abandonware so we need all the RIO's we can get. Seize the means of radar operation comrades!

From F-14 NATOPS;

Fly above ~16,000 ft.

This is almost certainly a case of Waypoint Designation.

Legacy Hornet NATOPS and SH NATOPS. There's a diagram with a legend explaining each button.

Taken from the Super Hornet's NATOPS but the throttle functionality is identical bar the dispense switch. 1.16

Well a bit more than slim - it ain't gonna happen. The other year I thought I'd take a wild stab in the dark and write to Raytheon to see if they'd be willing to share the sounds. As is usually the case these-days the sounds themselves aren't classified but they're proprietary information. But I believe Beamscanner has touched on this before - the sounds [on this particular RWR] are based on the PRF of the threat emitter. i.e. if the emitter's PRF is 1000 Hz, you hear a 1000 Hz tone. That kind of idea.

Pressing the uncage button also disables the engine life-retention solenoid. Doing so will enable you to enter 200% afterburner. This does significantly increase fuel usage tho.

Replace your texture layer with this file and check the model in the modelviewer (DCS main folder/bin/modelviewer2.exe). Find out what color the nozzles are and locate it on this texture layer.

I prefer to go off of actual frequency values than band nomenclature. There's multiple interpretations of 'C' band for example and it's changed over time. The best I can find is this; Some sites are saying the 0.5-2 GHz was an upgrade package applied to the -67 but information on this is scarce. If we take the 0.5 GHz (500 MHz) figure it's still lower than the E-2's 450 MHz. Anyroad this is kinda irrelevant. The E-2 in game is an E-2D with an AESA radar - AN/APY-9. I very much doubt the ALR-67 can detect an AESA.

Love the texture job on those spark plugs.

E-2's radar is not detectable by the ALR-67 See this thread by Beamscanner - https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=192936

Thank you sir!

Bump for this crucial request.

Maybe but even the NATOPS doesn't specify numbers that high for landing.

I'm bad enough as it is, don't write it down!

Your absolutely right! Thanks so much man, been bugging me for months!

Well I don't know about that..

Yes.

I'd just like to point out something that nobody else has - the manual's figure is not in the same units as your figure. The manuals figure is in inch-pounds. 148,000 inch-pounds = 12,333.34 foot-pounds Your figure is 600% greater than the manuals...

How is this a bug??

FIXED: READ FIRST REPLY I've only found this to occur with the AV-8B Harrier. Steps to reproduce; 1) place a harrier 2) click the payload menu That does it for me. After that the aircraft is also unselectable if you click away from it. And leaving the ME just results in a black screen. YouTube video here; MECRASHLOG.zip

Neither the AV-8B Plus nor the Harrier GR.7/9 can carry AGM-88 HARM's or AGM-84 Harpoon's. The Harrier GR.9 did have the capability to run with Brimstone and Stormshadow in an emergency. I believe it was tested once and never again. They knew the Harrier was due to be retired so the MoD never spent the money upgrading the Harrier fleet's avionics and training the pilots for it.
