AV-8B Harrier Thread

[Esac_mirmidon]

Guys try not to use the Quick Mission for the Harrier.

 

That airbase in that particular place of the Caucasus map has terrible FPS, no matter the plane you are using. If you try another plane in the same mission, editing the Harrier to something else you will see the same bad FPS.

 

Create one in another place, like Sochi with a Harrier in the runway and you will see normal perfomance flying it. I have a 1060 and i´m flying the Harrier at 60 FPS.

I have to confirm poor performance on Harrier.

With my setting i have a rock solid 60fps in both 1.5 and 2.1, with every plane i have (A10C, F-5, FC3) and in every situations.

Using Harrier my fps drops between 20/25 in cockpit view.

Well I had noticed in several of the pre-release screenshots and in all the videos showing this aircraft on the ground - but I wanted to wait for this release to confirm - the geometry of the aircraft on the ground looks very wrong.

 

I worked with Harriers for 6 years (GR3 and GR5) and live just down the road from what was their base here in the UK before the government did their usual clueless culling, where the GR9s were.

 

They have a much more squat appearance when on the ground - the tail end is much lower than it appears in the DCS model. It just looks wrong. Such a shame, as it's quite a characteristic (along with the loud whine and roar of the taxiing.

 

Go and look at the Google images and you should immediately see what I'm getting at. I hope this will be sorted at some point, because I really want to like this module.

Please tell me which mission and airbase it is so we can change it.

So there is a lot of concern of when the harrier will hit Normandy and Nevada, but what about 1.5 stable? I would assume it would be released in the coming weeks just like 2.1, but haven't seen any confirmation of this. Any info?

[Cowboy10uk]

In case if anyone wonders, LHA-1 Tarawa is in too. :thumbup:

 

Is it, :D

 

In that case, I bet add her to my test mission. :thumbup:

Hi, did I miss something??? I thought the Harrier was dropping today... I noticed in the E-Shop they raised the price today, but on the Harrier page it clearly states that the Harrier requires 1.5.8. Mine is only 1.5.7... Please help? Anyone?

[Cowboy10uk]

What can I say, WOW, she is a dream to fly, a bugger to land and I’m guessing I’m fortunate as I’m getting good FPS in 4K. No different than any of my other aircraft. Fantastic job Thankyou guys.

 

For those who are getting FPS, out of interest have you just installed Beta, if so check the graphical settings, a lot would have been reset from the stable version, I know I found I had to go in and change quite a bit on my system to get usable FPS when I first installed beta.

 

There may be different graphical settings in Beta that are not in Stable, don’t really know as I haven’t had stable installed on my system for years.

 

My system isn’t the best, but I will post my graphical settings if it will help. Fraud I can’t tell you what FPS I’m getting as I never look at the numbers, but it’s more than usable and looks stunning.

Need to update. Not available on the stable build, only open beta at this time.

Go to start, Eagle Dynamics and update openbeta.

 

Oh and make sure you’re on openbeta, as it’s the only version she’s on at the mo.

Hi, may I ask when you got your Harrier? I paid for mine on October 27th, but still don't have it

[108]

Ok thanks, I'll just dl that too then. Thank you again, mmaclauchlan... :)

[Ocelotunit]

Has anyone figured out the autopilot? I put on the altitude hold but nothing seems to happen.

I tried this. Opened the Cold and Dark quick mission (which is at Kutaisi) in the editor and replaced it with M-2000, also tried A10C. Got 60fps with highest settings with extreme view range, max trees and grass.

Only 25fps with harrier. So there is still a big difference from other aircraft.

 

Also tried Sochi runway start with the harrier, looking towards water, got 60fps. Turned head view 180 to the rear and dropped to about 55fps. Still better though, but also more water than trees :)

It will change from user to user taking in count different system specs but generally speaking Senaki has worst FPS than in any other place on the Caucasus.

 

Try flying somewhere else and you will notice a noticeable change. Specially at bases north Sukhumi.

 

Also maybe the Harrier could be more demanding, or still need some FPS optimization but i´m flying it a 60 FPS eveywhere except around Senaki.

[108]

I wonder why Senaki is so much different than other airbases in the Caucasus map?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Is a valley, with very far view distance everywhere, full of cities and towns.

 

Again i dont mean there are no FPS problems with the Harrier, i´m only saying FOR ME, 1060 and 1920x1080 i´m experience better FPS flying anywhere else except Senaki and around. Also i´m flying alone, i need to test with other planes, Harriers around.

GTX 1060 6Gb 4320x900. Still Dl'ing Open Beta

win 10 x64 16Gb DDR3 FX 8350 CPU

I've never flown it before, but I can fly with you (providing I can get it off the ground LOL

[_schepper_]

Just want to mention, i had some really bad stutters... but my fps was 45 so i try some stuf and when i hit f10 the stutters went away and back clean fly at 45...

 

In case sombody have the same problem, for me it was a quick solution :)

Where was it stated that this was going to only be in the open beta 1.5.8?

 

I reiterate a post I made previously. I pre ordered on this statement "If the product description does not have information about which DCS World version you should install, you only need to have the "Stable" version DCS World 1.5 installed on your PC." and given that there is no specific 2.x or 1.5.x in the description or recommendations then it should be released on 1.5.x. Otherwise

 

I only have the stable build so when will the harrier be released on the stable build?

Probably when it's out of early access. You can just install the open beta of 1.5 and then go back to stable when it's released on the stable edition.

So we could be talking about years.
