VMFA117_Poko Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 What the heck has happend to Harrier project? I haven't heard about it since video release a long time ago.
Cobra360 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 The Harrier is just a new AI aircraft in the BS addon just like the AH-1 and Mi-28. It's never going to be a flyable.
VMFA117_Poko Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 I realise that it would be hard to simulate but I didn't know that Harrier will be added at last. Great news!
Guest IguanaKing Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I agree...info on the Harrier, as far as the US is concerned, is a NAVAIR issue. They're pretty tight-lipped with their documentation on aircraft and other current-use equipment.
Kusch Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Hmm... maybe somebody translate? ''Harriery (Sea Harrier) są dość trudnym przeciwnikiem ze względu na dobry radar oraz AMRAAM-y, by ułatwić sobie zadanie latają dość wysoko i starają się nie podchodzić do walki manewrowej... ...Harriery schodziły do roli latajacych celi powietrznych, trzeba było tylko uważać czy jakiś "zabłąkaniec" nie zachodzi od tyłu. Próbowali wykonywać dość karkołomne figury, korzystajac z ruchomych dysz, ale prócz chwilowego zaskoczenia, nic to im nie dawało. Trzeba jednak przyznać, że mała sylwetka utrudnia wzrokowe znalezienie go w powietrzu i nie należało tracić go z pola widzenia. Zwortność, no cóż mało samolotów jest zwrotniejszych od poczciwego MiG-a 29, widać było mały ciąg Pegasusa, generalnie nie trzeba było włączać dopalania by sobie poradzić w walce manewrowej... ...nie będę oceniał pilotów Mirage'y, ale wydaje mi się, że byli zaskoczeni manewrem stosowanym przez pilotów angielskich. Harrier wytracał predkosc bez zyskania wysokości, z nami też tego próbowali i nic z tego nie wychodziło prócz efektownego spadania (tak to wyglądało z perspektywy kabiny MiG-a) z MiG-iem na ogonie, przy czym ten ostatni, zazwyczaj cały czas pozostawał sterowny... ..."defensive spiral" przetrenował Anglik na mojej skórze, lecz prędkość około 300 km/h jest całkiem dobrą predkością dla MiG-a, jeżeli przeciwnik ma zbliżoną, mając na uwadze ciąg silników, mogę bez utraty tej i tak małej prędkości, jeszcze powznosic się i spokojnie obserwować co się dzieje z "małym pękatym Harrierem". Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!

They're pretty tight-lipped with their documentation on aircraft and other current-use equipment. They may not be able to do a flyable AV-8B but a GR-7/9 may be possible and it has no radar to model (uses the same one as the early Hornets) if ED did ever want to do a Harrier.
Guest IguanaKing Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I guess that would depend on the Brits. They've got things locked up pretty tightly too at the moment, so I won't hold my breath. Besides...just think about all the "Waaaaa!!!! I keep crashing my Harrier right after take-off! This game sucks! Boo-hoo-hoo!" threads it might create. Yikes! :D

Guest IguanaKing Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Heh...I'm sure it will. Get ready for rotor-wing flight, boys...its a whole new ball-game. :thumbup:
warthogmadman987 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I think i can be better at that ball game...
Guest IguanaKing Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Its a whole new realm of flight, dude...are you goodtogo? (Yes...it is properly pronounced all as one word) :D

phant Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 The Harrier is just a new AI aircraft in the BS addon just like the AH-1 and Mi-28... It's official? Because in the Black Shark features they say nothing about. Tnk's in advance! Bye Phant

Cobra360 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 There was a Black Shark video posted on the forum a few weeks ago that just showed the Harrier and it launching an AGM-65. My bad http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=15887&page=2&highlight=harrier
Force_Feedback Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 There was a Black Shark video posted on the forum a few weeks ago that just showed the Harrier and it launching an AGM-65. There is also a video from a year ago showing the same thing. Imagine you let the blades clash at some sltitude, in a normal chopper, yes, standard config. choppers have it as well) the only thing you can do is pray, in the Ka-50, you give a fine jolt at those things crushing your balls, and off you go, no point saving something that is unflyable. Lets hope ED finishes the ejection sequence, as in that alpha video, the dude still rode a seat and there was no hatch jettisoned. And, judging by EECH (and an ejection test with a mi-8) it should not happen that quick, the whole sequence takes 1-1.5 seconds (until the traction lanyard is fully stretched).

EvilBivol-1 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 The Harrier is just a new AI aircraft in the BS addon just like the AH-1 and Mi-28. As mentioned, there is no official word on the Harrier in LOBS.

dynamocl Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 That video was from the TBS software, not lockon. Although similar, the same, they arn't. TBS also has FAC human controlled, doubt BS will have that. So just because you saw a video of it, dont expect anything. (Even though I would very much like the Gr7 to be EDs next project over anything else).
Pilotasso Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I think I also remnber that the video represented an experiment and was manipulated. .
dynamocl Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Very much likely a cut and shut job in a video editing tool, not real time FAC action. But, we can dream.
Fudd Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I wonder if grounding due to constant engine problems will also be modeled.... BIG NOISY LAWN DART The code is probaly in Russian anyway.
Guest IguanaKing Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 That wouldn't have anything to do with FOD would it? I promise, no comments about Jaguars or Austin Healeys...Brits feel free to slam Ford and GM...NO PROBLEM. :D
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I wonder if grounding due to constant engine problems will also be modeled.... BIG NOISY LAWN DART A bit harsh there Fudd, for 30 yrs the best/only VTOL aircraft in the world. A sensible buy for the US Marines who understood that a Navy carrier captain wants to be way out at sea sinking enemy ships, the nearest Air Force jets might be 2,000 miles away, but helo in a couple hundred feet of PSP, a radio and a few fuel blivets - Hey Presto, you have a Marine Harrier airbase. When the Sh1t hits the fan, the only folks you can rely on are your own folks... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
Fudd Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 A bit harsh there Fudd... Ya your right... I gotta little carried away there :D The code is probaly in Russian anyway.
