How to activate the release flare (key combination) if i take off from the runway...and then fly.. (hot start from runwey).

If I set the aircraft already in flight. I use the key 7. And everything works. Flare fly out.

When I take off from the runway.. fly.. and use the key 7 no.

That question has been answered so many times in this very thread. Search your controls for NWS.

What Ocelotunit means is it's under the command AG Target Undesignate / NWS / FOV Toggle....right near the top which makes it easy to miss when you're scanning for Nose Wheel Steering or NWS :)

First 35 minutes in the Logbook. One good rolling takeoff, two good vertical takeoffs, two good vertical landings and then one flaming heap after I got WAY behind the jet.

 

Nice. Very, very nice!

Performance in VR too is now great as far as I can see. Cool update.

Hi

 

After the start up procedure i noticed that the JPTL and the EFC advisory lights are lit. At least the jptl i don't understand as i can click on the JPTL swith as often as i want and put it into any position i want, it doesn't go off. Is this a bug or am i missing something?

Turn on the Digital Engine Control System (DECS), should make it disappear.

Ah..always missed that one, thanks :thumbup:

Having some trouble with the mavericks. I can take off and fly using my navigation to a waypoint.

 

I set up some trucks in a grass field and tried to use the Maverick. I have the sensor select switch on my warthog stick bound to aft, forward and right. Pressing aft twice gives me the dmt.

 

I then use the grey nob position switch for the slew on the dmt and on the mavericks. My question is regarding tdc action/down. If I'm on the dmt when I press the 5 way switch down it designates the target mark on the tv as a square. Press sensor select forward and then uncage Maverick. I see the Maverick sensor.

 

Now I can sweep left and right with the mavericks sensor with tdc left and right but I'm confused on the tdc down action. I expect when I press dtc down to have it slew downwards but it's also named action so I'm confused. If I bind the tdc action toggle to the down function of the tdc, can I no longer slew downwards?

 

Then how do I have it lock on a target? Should I assign another button to the tdc action toggle? Just curious how other people are doing it. I've watched jabber's Maverick tutorial and he mentions tdc down to lock the target. But won't that slew the Maverick downwards ?

The TDC has 5 positions; forward, left, right, aft, and down. The first 4 are the ones that will move you sensor, the TDC down (action) is like clicking the hat switch in and that is what will select your target.

Ok thank you for the explanation. So I need to bind the slew down to tdc aft. Then the click function of the grey hat switch to tdc down action. I was confused because I would see it slew left and right and up but when pulling it back it was not slewing down. I had the aft function assigned to the click I think.

Hi,

 

Shouldn't the NAVFLIR project a green image on the HUD, instead of BW? I bet HUD projector is not color... Also, the image is totally solid, and should be translucid. I don't know if RAZBAM has intention to improve it, but I hope so.

 

Regards!

[adonai]

Great work Razbam, have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the harrier so far!!

 

I do have a question though: can the sun visor have an option to be completely removed? I know the partual blocking is for immersion and can be a handy feature but being still stuck in 2d and using some upscaling trickery with my monitor, it turns out looking rather unsightly zoomed out in cockpit. Im finding myself using much smaller fov to get around its greyish bar. Id like to be able to enjoy this gorgeous cockpit in its full unobstructed glory lol!!! :):pilotfly:

AFAIK Zeus already addressed this issue. If i remember correctly it is an dcs-issue and simply a momentarily limitation of the game, but should be fixed along the way

Cold Startup and Other Training

 

Is there No OFFICIAL Training Tutorials or Videos ?

 

How are we to learn without tutorials ?

I haven't got an idea what to do sitting in the cockpit.

It doesn't even seem to have Auto Start (L Win Home) ~~!

[Esac_mirmidon]

You can start with the Pocket Guide

[Pipe]

Not trying to be rude or anything...but you need to read the manual/pocket guide

Plus there are a few YouTube videos popping up.

[sze5003]

All I did was watch the one startup tutorial by jabbers then I went in the pocket guide and starting assigning commands to my hotas. Just the basics and the things you need for targets and flight controls.

 

After that there are some missions in the mission section where you can mess around with the jet. Eventually before training videos and user missions you will need to learn the mission editor. Setup a few waypoints and targets and just mess around. I still have yet to learn to land the jet.

[SnowTiger]

Ah .. ya.

Of course I have checked out the Pocket Guide.

Amongst other things I used it to help set up my Hotas.

But it's hard to look at the guide while in the cockpit. And a pain in the ass going in and out of DCS to read it and no I don't have a printer.

 

I also found lots of videos. I found none that show the actual startup procedure.

However, I'll look for Jabber's vids. So thanks for that.

 

I'm still surprised that there is no Auto Start. Sometimes it's nice to just jump in and go.

I did create a mission for Training but I guess I'll have to set it up to be Already Running Hot.

It's a little disappointing even for pre-purchase or early release. Maybe still premature.

EDIT>> Turns out I watched all of Jabber's Harrier Vids EXCEPT his "Early Access - Startup" video.

Thanks for the replies. Even the snarky ones.

I just wish people wouldn't treat everyone like a noob.
