1) It was not "better", it was easier. 2) What's, in your opinion, a "modern" FBW, as opposed to a non-modern one? 3) How does it fly? IMHO, you're not arguing about FBW but about an auto-trim that, on this plane IRL, does not work the way you think it may. PS: no one here has uploaded his curriculum vitae for everybody to share, so the question of skills and experience is a distorted axis for any debate. By the way, some factual and documented arguments were communicated from the first page of this topic. Opinions and feeling are one thing. Facts are another one. Whatever the number of pages the debate blackens with acid ink.

About a system being able or not to shoot down an object, radar cross section is one data among others. For example, if you admit that a Sa-15 can detect an AGM-122, you have to answer those questions: at which distance? How long will it take to acquire it after having detected it? How long will it take to shoot at it once the SA-15 has acquired it vs how long will it take before the Sidearm kills the SA-15 first? What's the hit probability? And so on.

Well, in fact, I suspect that some people here have really read the manual. :D

Thanks to you all for your feedback. Hi and thanks for your suggestion. I've updated the spreadsheet so it gives this information. The maximal values are simply indicated in case you find them useful. And beside the calculated "desired fuel weight", you'll now find a calculated "desired fuel (% of max internal)".

For the time being, it only works with easy coms. You Have to check that in the mission settings.

By the way, for Skullleader, when he opened this thread, it was Early Non-Access. :D

I made a little spreadsheet that allows you to know the mass of your Harrier according to your payload. You can also fill in the "desired weight" cell so the "desired fuel weight" cell will deduce the value. So you can use this feature in flight to determine how far you have to dump fuel before landing, for example. I have also included the NATOPS charts that will allow you to plan your short or vertical take-offs and landings. Remember, for bombs shipped by two or three, take into account the pylon (TER for BDU-33s and MER for Mk-xx). Ditto for the Mavericks (LAU-117), and for the AIM-9s and AGM-122s carried under points 2 and 6 (LAU-7; no need if you carry those weapons under points 1 and 7). It's over there: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12W4N7Tim43KBNAmxtHdcnRafeMyQvtBb If you find an error, please let me know.

Even easyer: DSL delivery. Dive from 20.000 ft ASL, put the pipper on the target, pull the stick back and when the target is under your nose, pickle. Then fire the laser, trim your plane and eat some popcorn while the MPCD show goes on. :D I put my VV on the TD box, press the "AG target undesignate / NWS" HOTAS command and TDC down just after. That way, your pod aims at the same area and you can make another target laser designation. Well, of course, all of that is improvisation to help this WIP TGpod work. By the way, I'm happy to be able to use it. Thanks for the unexpected update, Razbam. :smilewink:

Put the vertical line on the TD box with the stick, the VV on the line with the rudder and you'll hit. What's nice with the A-10 is being able to fly level, and even to climb during the process. With the AV-8B, to do so, you'll have to wait the loft bombing mode, which is WIP. In auto mode, you have to dive so you keep the TD box in sight.

This table provides the info. Hope it helps you to wait the VREST MPCD page. Vertical Landing Capability.pdf

Same thing here. I just usually set a little dead zone to the rudder axis, not to input some unintentional yaw during long flights with my feet on the pedals.

You have to add up your empty, fuel and loads weights and compare the result to the charts which are in the plane's NATOPS manual: http://aviationarchives.blogspot.fr/2016/05/av-8btav-8b-performance-charts.html?m=1 The charts you need are at pp 249 & 250. According to the charts, you'll dump fuel and/or drop external loads so your plane's weight matches the requirements.

It used a gyro sight, which is modeled. But whatever the altitude, the speed and the attitude, where the dot is, the bomb hits. Which is pure BS. That's why I'd like to know what's going on with the AV-8B, and how it will be when WIP is over.

I already own a 3rd party module in which the air to ground telemetry is provided by God himself: the MiG-21 Bis from Magnitude 3 LLC (ex-LNS). And I don't appreciate that in a so-called hardcore module. So, with all due respect, I can't accept an answer such as yours if it doesn't come from the dev team, who knows better than you and me what is WIP and what is not.

CCIP works without target designation for bombs, rockets and the GAU-12. The range arc works without target designation on the gun and rocket reticles. A simple question: how is the telemetry assured when nothing is designated by the DMT nor the INS? CCIP needs telemetry. As does the range arc, obviously.

While we wait for the ship's systems to be built by Razbam, it's always a good idea for the mission builder to put an AEGIS cruiser in the Tarawa's group. The Harrier's RWR detects its radar's emissions from long distances afar, which greatly helps to locate the naval group, even at night.

Try to de-activate MSAA in DCS graphic options.

Same problem here with Maverick, DMT and FLIR. Only when MSAA is activated.

I've just found what I was looking for. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3232340#post3232340 Looks like this is the answer to my question.

And so the NVGs are in grey levels, as well as the FLIR? Texture issue with ED?

Thanks Jabbers for this video and the previous ones. It's a pity that NVGs are not yet implemented.

There seems to be a bug with the 800002 code. Did you try 800001 instead ?

I've just tested at Kobuleti. Error taking off from runway 7, but it's all right taking off from runway 25.

Not me. I have the same trouble.

To save weight. One shall note that many troubles on the ground go solved when the stick is firmly hold rearward. True for taxi, take off and landing as well. Continuously applying aerodynamic downforce is the key to deter the tail wheel from living its own life all by istelf, and so making yours a PITAS.
