tinkmiester Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 awesome bloody awesome im currently flying the razbam harrier in p3d v3.1 and loving it just needs tacpack so cant wait for this . thanks you razbam
Aginor Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Sad about the A-7, but I understand that it would be a huge risk without a properly working ground radar. Harrier is fine. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet

Wolfhound0104 Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Great News!! I'm looking forward to the harrier.
Angelthunder Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Wow that's great news,but i'm still sad they aren't going to make a T-2 Buckeye:(anymore.But then again,it's a pretty useless plane if you don't have a map planned to make a training campaign out of it.
dartuil Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I would prefer F-15E next as a fast multirole.

Random Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Great news. Finally a high fidelity harrier sim! My only worry is how accurate the systems can be. Gr.7 and 9 are very recent!
MBot Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Interesting that they are waiting for ED's A-G radar for the A-7 and F-15E. Is ED actually sharing its own avionics code with the 3rd parties? Apparently LNS is developing a ground mapping radar for their Viggen on their own.
Harry.R Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Random, the Gr.7 would have be 25 years old and most systems are simple and comparable to aircraft of the era, like Tornado Gr.1, F-16A or F/A-18 (without the radars..). Hopefully the information is available for most systems apart from the rwr and das. As you say, the Gr.9 would be slightly different as it is a lot more recent and the tech would still be classified. :music_whistling:
bart Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 This is brilliant news......a Harrier!.....this isn't a wind up is it? Jezz, this will be a blast from the past. I spent 5 years working on them whilst in the RAF, they really are a fantastic little jet, all bycicle chains and sprockets! GR7 has much better avionics....I worked on GR3 and the FRS1 Sea Harrier. This will be one module I would pay anything for!!! :joystick: System :- i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.

That's still gonna be classified!
MikeHunt Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Being an air-to-air addict I was hoping they'd do the Mirage 2000-5 or at least the AV-8B Plus, oh well...
mattebubben Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 AFAIK Gr.7 was in service up until 2006 ish... when the Gr.9 was introduced. That's still gonna be classified! But both the Gr.7 and Gr.9s are retired and no longer in service. The M 2000C on the other hand is still in service. I think they will most likley be able to get their hands on the info they need to make a first class module.
Bullfrog_ Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Being an air-to-air addict I was hoping they'd do the Mirage 2000-5 or at least the AV-8B Plus, oh well... I would love the Av-8B+ but they said in the podcast that if they do the Av-8B, it's going to be the Av-8B(NA) which from my understanding is a Gr.7 with US weaponry. A bit of a shame, it would be awesome to have the Gr.7/9 that has IR sensors over radar along side the Av-8B that lacks IR sensors in favor of a radar. But as it stands, from the consumer PoV... it's looking to be Gr.7/9 or AV-8B(NA). They're not going to be different enough to buy both. That's if they even do the Av-8B(NA)

That's if they even do the Av-8B(NA)This is something i want to know.What is the difference between the RAF Harriers GR7/GR9 and the USMC version AV-8B apart from the weapons.Do they carry different types of radar or electronics in the cockpit.
Zeus67 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 The problem with the AV-8B+ (Radar) is that DCS does not have an AG radar. And the main reason for mounting a radar on the AV-8B+ is to use it for AG operations. So it is a waste of effort to do something that will be incomplete. The moment DCS has a working AG radar, is the moment we implement the AV-8B+ (radar). The main differences between GR7/Gr9 and AV-8B+(NA) is weapons management. The US Marines are more conservative in how the load weapons in the aircraft than the Brits.

So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."
King_Hrothgar Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Really? And here I thought I was the typical American by wanting to carry half the armory with me on every sortie.:lol: Regardless, I'm pleased ya'll are working on a series of Harriers next. I still think the eastern block needs to be a priority for the next round of modules, but of the western stuff, the Harriers offer something different from the existing and upcoming stuff. Day 1 buy for me I think.
MBot Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 There is some mixing up of USMC Harrier II variants in this thread. AV-8B: ARBS Angle Rate Bombing System nose AV-8B(NA): ARBS + FLIR AV-8B+: APG-65 radar + FLIR
Johnny Dioxin Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 ...and then there was the GR.9a :music_whistling: Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
AG-51_Razor Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 What bummer! I was so looking forward to the A-7 Corsair II and then possibly the A-6 Intruder after that. :( OH well, I'm happy for all you Harrier fans out there! :thumbup: Patience is a virture most important to cultivate if your hobby is involved with DCS. I guess this means that ED's F/A-18C isn't quite ready for prime time either :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Coxy_99 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 This has to be along with the F-14 a great module glad you guys are getting one out the door, Just a tornado and my dcs would be complete :)
wingnut Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Coxy_99 this from Polychop. "About Tornado, yes we are not sharing anything at the moment for good reason. We are not planning to start a Tornado ;-) What I can say though is, that we are solving everything right now to get her lifted in the future." :thumbup:[sIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/27wvRIj.png[/sIGPIC]
