AV-8B Harrier Thread

 

Well it would be a more realistic way of planning a flight, usually waypoints and targets are on the data cartridge which is composed on a computer before the flight and not squinting at a map in the cockpit trying to discern coordinates of where you think a target might be and then inputting them one line at a time.

 

Having the mission planner would add a great deal of depth to multiplayer.

Agreed. I believe I've seen a couple mods that users have been working on recently, but they are in early stages of development. Would be great if one of them could be brought on officially into DCS.

So I don't see any of these YouTube privileged few with an early access module doing carrier landings or anything else on 1.5.7, does this mean its a restricted version or does it mean its only going to work on >2.1, big rumour of course that an update is imminent, but no mention in the modules info page that it won't work on 1.5.7, is it possible to get a clarification from one of the devs please, thanks

Zeus already gave an answer, it will come out for both 1.5 and 2.1.

The build the streamers are using does not have the carrier yet.

 

When ready for release it will be in both builds as far as I am aware.

Newy, love your signature man!!!

Inspired by this great bird RAZBAM are bringing us. It has been fun to test, looking forward to flying it with the public ;)

I think he was referring to the cat

[Sephyrius]

Is it a cat because a harrier always lands on its "four feet"? :smilewink:

[Harry.R]

Would you not just fly with the nvg's off till it get dark enough to use them?

In the UK ‘You’ would wear your ‘nite’ helmet and carry the goggs out to the jet for attaching later if you were flying a day into night trip. The difference comes when you use the same Gentex helmet for day and night flying which means fitting an NVG banana bar.

 

This is a sim though so potentially you could just press the N key and avoid all the hassle. :lol:

Well, it has the little one. Squint really hard and it's an Invincible class.. :)

Didn't Jabbers say somewhere that the Harrier build they have is only available to them on Nevada right now?

Yup.

I believe that is correct

It could only be for the 2.0 engine for the build they are showcasing,here is a French streamer on the Normandy 1944 Map.

As I posted above earlier today, Zeus has already said it will release on all available versions of DCS...why this is still being discussed, I don't understand.

 

The aircraft can be flown in all available DCS versions.

Yes the release version for the harrier will be for both version, but the version of the harrier that has been showcased to us over the last couple of week has only been shown on the 2.0 engine. i was just responding to the last couple of posts from Kayos,drPhibes,Pipe.

[AG-51_Razor]

Yup.

 

I believe that what he said was, Neveda was the only map he had, which was why he couldn't address the request for putting the LHA in a video.

[Baz000]

The KA-50 module by ED gives the pilot the choice of mounting the helmet mounted targeting sight or the nvg goggles. Only one or the other can be equipped and they are changed on the ground through the use of the ground crew radio menu.

 

Why reinvent the wheel? Why not just use this type of implementation on the harrier?

[Goldham]

Ground Crew radio menu would be the best implementation imo. maybe also have a kneeboard page for some ground munitions settings too like the f-5 as an example. maybe configurable countermeasures in-game too.

[Sedlo]

Really looking forward to the release... Couple questions re Mission Editor for folks in the know.

 

1. I've been wondering, can you specify the type of takeoff used for AI Harriers? VTOL, Rolling Vertical, STOL, Conventional in the mission editor? Same goes for landings, can you specify it or does the AI automatically chose due to conditions and payload?

 

2. Wingman Commands... Will they be similar to the A-10 in that there are a couple of ways to command wingmen to attack. Attack targets, attack at my SPI (or whatever the AV-8B equivalent is), attack using (type of munition). Something similar in the works for this machine?

 

Cheers,

 

SEDLO

All this talk about carrier landings and just saw this... Might be the wrong place, but though you'd all enjoy anyway

But there are 2 carriers that I know of in game now, will we not be able to use these at all?

 

And thanks for the replies about version releases people its much appreciated :)

[Whuping]

Not to sound like a broken record, but when exactly is it coming out? Around next week? Right?

 

RIGHT??

 

RIGHT?!
