And yet again, I will say that as it looks currently, they are focusing on the Mirage. It is the first module they started ignoring and they are now back to fixing things there first. There has been small fixes here and there in the Harrier that I have noticed were not in the changelogs. So things are happening, but Razbam, please, give the Harrier all the love it needs. I hate to say it, but many of these constant complainers have valid points and bugs that need to be fixed. If only they could slow down a bit and stop filling the forums with the same complaints constantly. The best way to do that would be to start fixing things and bringing the Harrier up to the same standard as most other modules. Please don't become another Polychop.

A sad thing I can add too: Your X52 might have a "large" deadzone in the center position. My old X52 had that and it made flying with precision a proper pain in the ass. To that there is no real fix I know of. If your stick is like that, then you simply have to hamfist your way down. Or buy a new, better stick. That helped me immensely.

This approach used to work for me, but an update about ~2 months back broke this for me, therefore my new approach. This bug just gets weirder and weirder.

I trim it to be close, then I stabilise the last bit with the stick. In hover flight it acts like a helicopter, meaning there is not real trimmed out flight. Therefore you can get it close and then you have to wrangle it the last bit.

Sadly, there is a difference between multiplayer missions and multiplayer missions. I guess you have made this mission yourself? I have not gotten that trick to work in those missions. But if you load up something like Through the Inferno, it will work. I don't know enough to say exactly what the difference is. Somebody who makes missions could probably explain that part better.

I wrote this in another thread, so you'll get the summary: The Mirage came first. They stopped updating it first. Seems fair they focus on the Mirage first then, right? There is a ~1 year backlog, since they slacked off for over a year. So it will take time to get back on track. What they did was shitty, yes. But they are coming back. There has been some small updates for the Harrier in the last few patches that have not been in the changelogs. So just chill out and let Razbam work.

Select Harrier on Tarawa -> Flight delayed ->Escape menu -> Select role ->Back to spectators (bottom left corner) -> Select same slot again -> Should work Works about 90% of time for me. But is limited to multiplayer.

The JPTL works by limiting fuel fed to the engine to keep temperature within limits. So switching to manual fuel should bypass the JPTL (I think, have to check the manual-that-shall-not-be-named again). Problem is that JPTL warning can mean a lot of possible failures. I can be from a DECU failure and that is "fixed" by switching to secondary DECU. But the guaranteed way to "fix" is to turn off JPTL and switch to MFS. Then you have to manually keep the engine within limits, but you also won't be limited by a faulty system. If that is modelled in DCS, of course.

The APU only provides electrical power. The hydraulics are run with pumps run off the engine, so loss of engine power means loss of hydraulics. Loss off JPTL is weird. Depending on actual damage, you should be able to switch to the Manual Fuel System to continue flight, but i've not had that succeed too well. But loss off both hydraulics or loss of engine is almost always an eject situation.

It sounds like you entered the '9' into REF/LOLA instead of TAKT. That would give you a waypoint at 900000/000000 which is far away from anywhere. My thoughts at least.

I would've watched, but you timed it up perfectly with the Halo launch...

The Mirage was released first. Seems only fair that it gets most of the love now, right? Then onto the Harrier? Since they slacked off for over a year, it will take a lot of time to fix the large backlog on both aircraft, so i'm not expecting anything big for the Harrier for a while. Though they could actually update the bug tracker on their site. It contains none of the new Harrier bugs.

Try connecting ground power before you turn the knob to SEA. The Harrier is aligned with the help of the ships INS when at sea, which is simulated with the ground power connection in DCS. Guess somebody did not check if ground power is connected when it attempts to align using it. Create a bug report for this. It is a unique bug and not tied to the other INS CTD. Surprised nobody has found it before. But most of your other points are still valid.

I think the reason it works for rockets is that in real life, the practice rocket pods are the exact same as the regular ones, with the exception that they can be set to fire a single rocket per signal. That was deemed enough to stretch the truth with the ingame rocket pods. But I guess there is no equivalent for the bombs then. Sure it makes it hard to do repeated practice runs, but I don't know if it can be done in any way.

Like watching paint dry. Except I think paint drying is more interesting than most bugfixing i've ever done. God that would be a painful competition.

Screw next module! I want to be able to use my Lysbombs! This will be interesting in its own way. Gonna take a peek then

You were on the right path TOViper. There are two keybinds for obstacle detection mode. One is just called "Obstacle Detection Mode", the second is called "Obstacle Detection Mode on/off". The second one is not named too well, because it does what I described, instead of turning the mode on and off as I thought. This is not a bug, but simply a keybind with a confusing name.

I suspect it is a bug. You currently have to hold the terrain avoidance button for it to actually stay in that mode. To reproduce, bind it to your most uncomfortable HOTAS button, start at night and then try to find your way through the Caucasus mountains. Finger hurt after that, right?

There is now! Under the section keyboard macros there is a TPOD video zoom in/out. It is only half-fake since the Plus version controls zoom with the antenna elevation, which the NA does not have. Makes sense to have a short command for it in the NA too and it is small and practical enough for me to accept it.

You have the SAS/autopilot. As long as you trim out the stick it will hold you very stable. No need for a cheaty autopilot

Do what you gotta do. Spend time with your family. People here have to take a chill pill in the meantime.

You prove to us that you have improved over the Gazelle and I am guarenteed to buy it. Please make us regret our doubts!

There has been thoughts on doing a plus version when the ground radar from ED arrives. But that was stated long ago. Don't know how that might have changed. But I would really like a plus version. Just brings so much extra to an already awesome airframe.

Training mavs are pretty much just the G(F)-Mavs seeker mounted onto a dummy body. You use it just exactly as Floydii explained, with the important exception that the TGM-65G cannot be fired.

After stalking through Zeus67s profile here looking for where it was posted, I found it... on reddit... by CptSmiley. Anyhow, DECOY, is it possible to get an update on this? The post was made over a year ago and the gun pod is a very integral part of the Harrier.
