The Harrier is by far my favourite module. It's great fun, pretty easy to learn it's systems, and not that difficult to fly. Even vertical carrier landings isn't too difficult, once you get the hang of it. But for sure there's some issues that have been outstanding for quite some time, and little evidence that any attention is being paid to them (though apparently you have to be on Facebook to keep up to date with 'development'). If you can cope with the negatives I'd say get the Harrier.

There should be no need to forward ports locally. Your computer is establishing the connection to the 'master server' and it does this on a random port. The remote end (i.e. the server) has the "known" ports, such as 443 for login authentication and 10308 for game server. If you want to see what your computer is doing, you could download a neat little utility called CurrPorts. It will show you which connections your computer is making, and which process (e.g. dcs.exe) is making them. That might help with your troubleshooting.

Hi Yeah, we're aware of the configuration options. We have A2G hard SAM set to 2, so clearly there's something not quite right here! And other A2G hard spawns also ignore the setting. I've never seen less than 3 SAM batteries despite setting it to 2. Still great fun though. :thumbsup: Edit: could this be the culprit? for i=1, [b][u]25[/u][/b] do A2G_SAM:SpawnInZone( AG2, true ) end I see the 25 for AG1 and AG2 only (though we've never seen AG1 spawn, ever).

What's with "SAM-CON 2019"? We've seen this a few times. We spawn an A2G hard mission and we get one that's quite challenging to say the least. Seems there's a SAM convention going on in Iran. I counted (I think) 6 x S-300, 6 x SA-2, 6 x SA-3 along with similar numbers of Osa, Shilka and Tunguska. From the layout it looks like a copy/paste error. It's certainly a challenge! But is it intentional?

This used to happen to me. Culprit was my antivirus software (BitDefender). I turned off the 'Scan SSL' feature and the server list started working.

I think you need to place a ground unit at the FARP transmitting on FM. I did ask about this last year, and Maverick said he'd put it on his to do list, but perhaps hasn't got round to implementing this yet.

Love the mission - thanks for creating! Being able to spawn in units is a great addition. But on that .. I spawned a couple of F-14s (for some "ambience") whilst my buddies and I were getting our Harriers ready on the Tarawa. The F-14s proceeded to descend and attempt a landing on the Tarawa, ploughing through the four Harriers which were just about ready to depart. Much carnage ensued. Very funny to watch, but any idea what happened here? Tried the same later with an empty tramline on the Tarawa and the F-14s landed successfully (amazing!) then taxied back through the island. Why would they even attempt to land on the LHA? Anyway .. really enjoying the mission.

Can concur with OP. This does happen on occasions but I'm unsure what triggers the issue. 99% of the time my Mav Gs work as expected.

I've tried checking/unchecking the 'special' box yeah. That's what the ["MPCD_EXPORT"] settings is in the options.lua I pasted above. What I did to get it permanent was follow the thread I linked to in my original post.

Already been there. Not enabled. This is my .lua _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('1 Screen'); Description = 'One monitor configuration' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect; } } GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center Yes, that's the problem. As far as I can tell I'm not exporting them. From my options.lua: ["AV8BNA"] = { ["CPLocalList"] = "default", ["INS_Alignment"] = 0, ["INS_GYROHasNAV"] = false, ["MPCD_EXPORT"] = false, },

Anyone able to help me with this one? It's driving me nuts!

More like jam I reckon. Or perhaps custard.

:thumbup: This! ^^^

Much appreciated, thank you. :thumbup:

How do you do this, please?

Not new. Longstanding issues.

I haven't flown in a couple of months but if I recall correctly you need to double-press Sensor Select Down to toggle HTS mode. Just to be clear, that's clicking the button down, not directionally (aft).

Indeed, it toggles FOV when TPOD is in HTS mode. Very useful feature.

Successive updates have degraded this module from what was a fun and rewarding multiplayer experience to one that's mostly disappointing. Hopefully the developers will resolve it, because it truly was one of the standout features in DCS multiplayer. Immense rewarding fun when it works. Frustrating and disappointing when it doesn't.

Is the 104th down? I'm not seeing it on the server list, and when I try to connect via IP I get 'server offline'. edit: I'm guessing it's up because there's plenty of people on TS and SRS. Hung around for around 30 mins in the "I need an admin" channel but I guess you're all too busy having fun!! So presumably there's a server list problem.

Personally I don't give a damn whether the battery is simulated or not. However it would be nice to know the extent of what the developer has simulated, purely as a matter of interest and comparison against other modules. What is unfortunate .. and this happens time and time again on these forums .. is the self-appointed forum police jumping in and claiming a thread has no purpose. Let the moderators decide that, and if you don't like a thread, ignore it and ...

I'm guessing it is modelled because the module is out of early access (i.e. release quality) and according to the notes on the ED store has "authentic systems modeling". I guess someone with time on their hands just needs to fire up whatever electrical systems are usable without the engines running and wait for them to die.

See Maverick's post here. They're planning to rotate between Caucasus and PG once a Longbow-esque mission is done.

Hopefully they'll deliver on their promise, for integrity reasons for than anything else. Personally I prefer the cockpits in their native languages and don't mind learning bits and pieces of an unfamiliar language. As long as the tooltips are in English that's fine with me, although one major gripe I have is that some servers disable tooltips for some inexplicable reason (making starting up the Mig-21 or Mi-8 a challenge).

Is this coming in the next update?
