AV-8B Harrier Thread

[Exile5121]

Hey Zeus are you guys interested in doing a live stream on the Normandy map with Harrier? It sounds like it's up entirely to you guys per a Q&A question on Saturday evening. I would love to see you guys demo a fly-around and land in a open area surrounded by a bunch of trees. What say you? :)

 

 

 

Please?

Is this module going to be built to the level of DCS A10C? I.e. moving progammable TAD, MAV screen and TGP screen?

Yes, Full DCS Module.

[Silvern]

What's the average cruise speed for this bird? Much faster than A-10C I hope? :)

[DAZnBLAST]

Yes, Full DCS Module.

If this is confirmed, day 1 purchase for me.

[Paradox]

Of course you will get the TAD.

 

Is it the same TAD or are there differences from the A-10C one?

[DAZnBLAST]

What's the average cruise speed for this bird? Much faster than A-10C I hope? :)

 

Speed comparisons:

 

Harrier AV8B = Mach 0.9 (585 knots, 673 mph, 1,083 km/h)

 

A10C = Mach 0.56 (365 knots, 420 mph, 676 km/h)

From what I've heard, low level ops usually occur in the low-mid 400's. So she's pretty quick.

 

Above Mach 0.7-0.8 maneuvers are limited substantially because of transonic flow effects, the plane stalls much more easily near Mach 1 (and usually not symmetrically, think A-10C stall behavior)

Had to try...:-)

you could do to dcs? (Only for night Landing)

Seems difficult :thumbup:

Laughed out loud when you realized that the carrier was steaming away too fast for you and you had to correct. :)

 

Also that hard landing looks like it broke something. Looking good :thumbup:

[Boris]

Wow I'm loving these regular updates.

 

Looks like your'e going to have a killer module on your hands. I think I'm almost looking forward this more than the F/A-18.

[DAZnBLAST]

I agree with the killer module comment, and I've always said, Harrier has potential to bring so much more to the sim e.g. carrier ops and could do wonders for DCS CA and Huey too.

[frixon28]

I think it's just absolutely wonderful that RAZBAM is being so open with us on the development. Seeing the development from screenshots to these videos is very interesting. Not to be that guy...but do you guys think it'll be released by/in June?

[Boris]

You're that guy :lol:

 

Good luck getting an answer...

[dhevans79]

lol, said it before, and now with the video...

Maybe it has been already discussed, but what will be the most difficult item to simulate in the MFCD development in the harrier? If I consider the Hog I would bet on the CDU. So comparing the two avionics that are for some part similar, where do you expect an hard work?

where is the sound like a old hoover?;)

nice work!!! need that baby:)

Cool! Didn't know the harrier nozzle could be seen glowing at night.

I think is for hot gases If you see in the final part of landing he incrase the throttle and exits more hot

[SageOT]

Does anybody have a link to a NATOPS orsomething somewhere that shows proper carrier procedures for the Harrier? Apologies if it's already been posted stuck on my phone and search isn't playing nice.
