robmlufc Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Note: the image is labelled as a AV-8B but is more likely a GR-7 ? That's the GR9 development airframe, which is why it's loaded with Brimstones. I think only 2 airframes had that capability before the Harrier was binned.

Harry.R Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 One of our jets (Gr7) was brimstoned up for a hangar trial prior to Maverick arriving. Looked mean but the 'leaping heap' probably wouldn't have got airborne with that many. ;)

crazyeddie Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 :thumbup: That looks almost perfect, and with a good paint job it could be. Are you just teasing us or is HMS Illustrious being made. ?

Airj247 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Can't wait till we get to hear the new sounds for the AV-8B, just want to hear the classic engine whine! I was inverted B)
Paradox Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 The outrigger sidewinder rail is available in both Harriers, AV-8B/GR´s , it´s a design feature used by UK only (Spain and Italy don´t use it as well, mainly because they are based on the US AV-8B) the same way US opted for the GAU-12 gun pod while UK kept the ADEN twin set (which at the end they couldn´t use since the expended cartridges kept bumping on the fuselage). Same design, same features, different views on how to use it So the outrigger sidewinder pylon will be available in the DCS module? Huzzah!

Shadow_1stVFW Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Never is a very strong word my friend. Usually when used it is incorrectly applied. -Shadow Aurora R7 || i7K 8700K || 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s || 2TB M.2 PCIe x4 SSD || GTX 1080 Ti with 11GB GDDR5X || Windows 10 Pro || 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2667MHz || Virpil Warbird Base || Virpil T-50 Stick || Virpil MT-50 Throttle || Thrustmaster TPR Pedals || Oculus Rift
Zeus67 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Never is a very strong word my friend. Usually when used it is incorrectly applied. -Shadow In this case it is correctly applied. The outrrigger pylons are not authorized for carriage in U.S. aircrafts. The capability exists but it is not used and very likely never will be used on the US AV-8B.
