Torso Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Has anyone seen a screen shot of the fuel probe extended? I'm pretty sure there haven't been any screens of the Harrier plugged into a basket yet. Sure would be nice to see that! :thumbup: Here is the vid of the AAR attempt in case you haven't seen it. Probe is in view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_1stVFW Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The Harrier probe is in such an awkward position as well. The Il-78 is much easier to tank off than the S-3 though, the S-3 is really fussy about where you sit while the Il-78 doesn't really mind.Well, the S-3 has 'little man' syndrome. His hose is so...short, compared to the IL-78................ -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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz000 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think the S-3 and IL-78 have different physics for the drouge... I noticed that the S-3 is extremely temperamental when trying to stay connected with the probe on the M2000C, and on the contrary... With the SU-33 staying connected to the IL-78 with the probe is so easy. I think because the S-3 refueling hose is rigid, whereas the IL-78 hose has physics applied to it.

I think because the S-3 refueling hose is rigid, whereas the IL-78 hose has physics applied to it.You may be right, I don't know. I always figured, dare I say, size mattered. But really, I think it boils down to hose legnth. The IL-78 has a much longer hose than the S-3. Which leads me to believe that the acceptable connection area is much larger than the S-3 as well. I have never really noticed much of a difference between the two (other than the initial spotting be free joining). But I haven't refueled on them other than in the Mirage. -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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunctator Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Does anyone know what how the RWR is displayed in the Harrier? -Shadow RWR is displayed on the MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think because the S-3 refueling hose is rigid, whereas the IL-78 hose has physics applied to it. Might be because the S-3 is an old model. The IL-78 is much newer. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Shadow_1stVFW Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Does anyone know the weights of the actual pylons for Stations 1/7, 2/6, and 3/5? I can't seem to find them. I'm curious why the Harriers tend to leave them attached when not in use and the performance impact. -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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or removing them might not give as much of a performance boost to warrant the work it takes to remove or add the for every flight.

Vampyre Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 They are left on to avoid maintenance issues with constantly cycling them on and off and avoid delays when they are needed. Things tend to break when they are constantly being moved. It also takes a significant amount of time to mount them and perform release and control checks to ensure they work. It's more efficient to just leave them mounted. Outboard Pylon- 96lbs Intermediate Pylon- 131lbs Inboard Pylon- 143lbs Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
