JG-1_Vogel Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'd be happy with just a GR3 tbh :P. FS2 Sea Harrier would be epic too if someone could model the Invincible class.
Holbeach Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 There's a long wait for the RAZBAM Harrier in DCS, but I've just found this long forgotten vid on an old HDD. I made this many years ago but never got round to uploading it. Fiimed with a Sony Handycam, it shows the Harrier on a Falklands bombing attack in poor vis and heavy rain, followed by a mix with the Argie Skyhawks and Mirages. Many of you will recognize this sim and is one of the oldest still in use today. I thought it might give a flavour of what's to come. .. ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V.

joey45 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I'll be doing RAF/(RN)FAA liveries if RAZBAM won't do any for the US Harrier. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

But im pretty sure it was not in use during the Falklands war xD Since that looks like a Gr.5 or Gr.7 and not the Gr.3 or FRS.1s used during the Falklands war. :smartass:

King_Hrothgar Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Except most of that is basically the same anyways. It isn't like one has radar and the other doesn't. And both carry AIM-9's, AGM-65's, laser guided bombs and unguided stuff. The key difference is an internal gun vs gunpods. Not exactly a night and day difference imho. From our standpoint playing a video game, the differences strike me as largely cosmetic in nature. They are the same airframe with the same engine with the same weapons (mostly) with the same or comparable sensors.

You ARE in a Harrier in the Falklands. It's a GR9 substituting for a GR3 on the bomb run and a Sea Harrier in the A/A part, using a radar and gun from the F-16 on a map from Korea. :music_whistling: Rivet counting wasn't quite so important in 2009. I will be happy with whatever RAZBAM provides plus a RAF skin and then it will be a RAF Harrier with a gun, fantastic. :thumbup: .. ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V.

siniraag Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Razbam posted these in FB :joystick::joystick: still here...
Coxy_99 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Any idea how the harrier will appear on RWR, Or you guys not this far ahead yet?
RoflSeal Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Any idea how the harrier will appear on RWR, Or you guys not this far ahead yet? Harrier has no radar, so it won't appear on RWR
siniraag Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 More sweet stuff form Razbam FB page still here...
mattebubben Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Any idea how the harrier will appear on RWR, Or you guys not this far ahead yet? The harrier being modeled has no radar. But the AV-8B+ that had a radar (but its not the one we are getting) would show up as a F-18 as they took the radars from F-18As when they were upgraded with new radars in the early 90s.
HAE5904 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Once the air to ground radar module has been finished and released by dcs, the AV-8b plus will certainly be developed.
mattebubben Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 A pity it's not an AV-8B+ :( Regards Well its either a AV-8B NA a the next aircraft and maby a AV-8B+ later. Or a AV-8B+ in 1-2 years. And if it had been a AV-8B+ its very likely it would have been pushed back behind things like the F-15E. But since the Air-Ground radar is the reason things like the F-15E and A-7E are on hold at the moment (untill the Air-Ground radar ED is working on is finished) So during the wait for the Air-ground radar to be completed they are making the Radar less harrier. But they have also stated a few times there might be a AV-8B+ in the future (since it would not take a huge amount of work to convert the AV-8B NA to the AV-8B+ seeing as the AV-8B+ is directly based on the AV-8B NA so the main difference is the radar and its surrounding features.
Prowler111 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 The model is currently in DCS World! Definitely NOT our model Best regards Prowler
mattebubben Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The model is currently in DCS World! For one that model is of a GR.7 or GR.9 and not a AV-8B NA.
joey45 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Definitely NOT our model Best regards Prowler 15K Tris.... hope not..

mattebubben Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) About the AV-8B. Does anyone know if its able to use the LAU-88 AGM-65 Triple launcher? (on any of its pylons) Or is it limited to the LAU-117/A Single Launcher?. And on a different note but staying on the Subject of AV-8B armament. [ame] [/ame] Edited March 16, 2016 by mattebubben
WinterH Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 About the AV-8B. Does anyone know if its able to use the LAU-88 AGM-65 Triple launcher? (on any of its pylons) Or is it limited to the LAU-117/A Single Launcher?. Not sure, but my gut gut feeling is that it is the single launcher only. In fact, I have only ever seen multiple maverick launchers on Air Force aircraft, I don't remember seeing a photo of USN or USMC aircraft with those. It can't according to this : http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/mcdonnelldouglas/av-8harrier/3694av-8bharrieriistandardaircraftcharacteristics-october1986.html But that is a AV-8B publication from 1986, it may not be the Night Attack variant, or things may have changed in meantime but, it's just one more thing makes me think my gut feeling is right. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
