microvax Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 There is also a composer manual available for the AV-8B Moving Map: http://www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA347231 So it definetily exists Oh my god, the circle is complete. I do collect alphas/VMS systems in general. Feels so legid to see the manual for the software running on those systems to prepare map data for the module I am soon going to fly. :DD This is pretty god damn awesome, thanks for that document ! :))) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
Scrape Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Unfortunately, I have yet to acquire that skill in the Huey or the Gazelle. If I have been flying the Huey for a while and then get in my car to drive somewhere, I find myself nodding yes alot. Or nodding a bank angle back and forth somewhat. Wifey has yet to complain about it. Probably confirms to her that I'm crazy. That's hilarious. Take comfort that you are not crazy until you push buttons on your console for seat heater and air conditioning as if you are running a pre-flight on your "car" before you drive away. Then, only then, are you crazy. "It's amazing, even at the Formula 1 level how many drivers still think the brakes are for slowing the car down."

Robert31178 Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Hey, don't forget the walk around, tire pressure, fluid leaks, as well as signing the gripe sheet that has upgripes like that chip in your windshield you should have taken care of last year......

Nero.ger Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 who cares about OTHERS flying it. I want my own that i preordered. If you want i also make some youtube videos of my poor performance 1 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.
DefaultFace Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 A nice video I found, to add to the Harrier Hype! 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck. If you get shot down, it's because you suck. You and me, we know we suck, and that makes it ok." - Worst person in all of DCS "In the end, which will never come, we will all be satisifed... we must fight them on forum, we will fight them on reddit..." - Dunravin
shagrat Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 A nice video I found, to add to the Harrier Hype!I love the part beginning at 2:05 where he explains the Mission profile and tasks for the Harriers... Especially where he mentions the specific Air-to-air tasks like Combat Air Patrol within the capabilities of the aircraft. That's my kinda Multi-Role Toy!

DefaultFace Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Part 1. Lots of the stuff in this part is fairly basic overview but some of the detail about the pilot controls and how the engine works is fairly interesting. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I don´t know, but seeing this videos and watching how easy this people take off and land this airplane with almost no trainning, worries me about the realism of the flight model, I´m the only one???:(

Jester986 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I heard him say a few times that was his most successful landing. I also saw a lot of pictures from RAZBAM of unintentional crashes during testing. Also due to the low number of Harrier pilots on here we have to take it on faith that they've done there homework. If you can't do that well maybe its not for you. Also we have to keep in mind there are limits to what a computer can simulate. Being a real helicopter pilot I've been in a lot of arguments with people who say one of our helicopter modules is not realistic when in fact it's a lot closer than another that wins praise(which is still good btw). I like realism and want to see as much as possible, but I don't expect to be able to play DCS and then be able to get in the actual aircraft and fly it. But hey RAZBAM if you can manage bring it on!

Robert31178 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 WarHawk just said it was hands down the most difficult plane to fly in the sim. Also, his landing grade I'd give a 5.5 out of 10 - He made it without breaking something, but that's about it. Lastly, if you think he hadn't practiced a whole bunch before making a vid you're crazy! Why not quit worrying and enjoy what we end up with? At least get the module in hand and see how "easy" it is once you get it.

ben_der Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Maybe we should bring in a System that if you crash your plane you would have to rebuy the module or something for people to get a fear of doing things wrong :megalol: Everything is easy in a simulator because there are no consequences. Everyone here who is not a full blown newbie to a Flight Simulation and has a good Eye Hand Coordination will get the Harrier in the Air and back on the Ground. With building experience you will become more and more precise. But I wouldn't call the Flight Model Bad or Easy. It's more the surroundings you're in making everything easy ;) Looking forward to more Videos & getting the Hands on this awesome bird myself :joystick: :) 1

At least with the Ka-50, A-10C, P-51, Mirage, SU-27, F-15...(every module) people tend to wait before complaining about the "fallacy" of the flight model. 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Nero.ger Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 well there is a difference...in a Game its no problem if i screw up 9 out of 10 TOs. in real life it des make a difference, so long training is needed because you only get one life. Imagine you buy the game and can only play until you crash ;) 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

It's not such a bad idea. It would be an interesting experience to have for instance a few MP servers where if your virtual pilot dies, you have to pay some set ammount - for instance 20 EUR. The money could go for some noble purpose instead of increasing EDs margin. On the discussion how difficult landing Harrier will be. We all have to wait (probably 3 weeks ) to find out. The gut feeling tells me that probably not as much difficult as landing Spit, Huey or Hip ;) F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk.

shagrat Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to toss JDAMs with the Harrier? Sent from my SM-G955F using TapatalkYes, but according to the Pocket Guide the mode for that *(DLS?)* will come at a later date, before release. EDIT looked it up again, LOFT is a submode to AUTO. Still if I remember correct, it will not be available in Early Access... but let's see what Razbam comes up with in a few weeks.

I really enjoy using it with the Harrier in BMS (I know it's not really accurate but it's all I've got until this comes out) Unfortunately I fear it'll be useless in multiplayer as there's no way to plan a flight beforehand.
