DCS World - AV-8B N/A Harrier II - Liveries, HUD Improvements, Rocket Explosions

[Jabbers_]

Latest and probably last video before the release of the AV-8B N/A Harrier II. I check out the Liveries, HUD improvements and new Rocket Explosions.

So when Harrier arrives in DCS 2.1. DCS will be updated to 2.5 ?

[NeilWillis]

Beautiful stuff. I wonder if the explosions will be arriving with the Harrier module update, or if they'll appear when the 2.5 package is rolled out?

 

I also assume we'll see the module appear initially in 2.x, with 1.5.x following later? Or maybe we'll get 2.5 and the Harrier all at once - wouldn't that be a bonus!!!

 

I have rigged up a machine to press F5 once every .25 second to ensure I don't miss a moment flying this amazing bunch of pixels and code.

 

Thanks for this Jabbers, and thanks RAZBAM for all your work getting this to market. Amazingly good choice!

No, I simply used it to demonstrate said items, sorry for that confusion.

why the hell does "fixing the HUD glass" alsways mean "making it darker"?!

at least when compared to your previous Videos.

The reflection was toned down, but ya it seems to have been made darker. Why is that an issue?

[Nero.ger]

contrast, its allready hard enough to spot vehicles and planes and a dark tinted HUD doesnt make it any easier. especialy if its not 12o'clock in the summer and the sun is high up. its the reason the F5 is gathering dust in my hanger. i prefer not to have eyestrain when trying to spot stuff.

the Mirage 2000 for example doesnt have such a bad hudglass (yet)

please fix it so its near or completely transparent

[Flia]

Im starting afraid about HUD visibility too. Its not look good. Very hard to read from your video :(

[BIGNEWY]

The HUD has been adjusted while I have been testing and I can say now I have no problem reading the HUD.

Jabbers,

 

Can you make a quick air to air refueling video? If you have access to the KC-130 if not with something else. Thx Also, do you have access to the small aircraft carrier? If so can we see that too?

Hi have a look there

Thanks for the videos, I very much enjoyed watching them. As the 29th is getting closer, I'm looking forward to fly the Harrier myself, instead of watching other people fly it :D

Hud glass is matter (mass) and thus, it DOES affects light passing through it...expect some kind of darkening when looking through it...if you look at real life videos you will see how hud's look and they pretty much are not perfectly transparent (others even have some tint like the f-18 ) so a perfectly transparent hud glass is actually NOT realistic...however, I agree that the f-15 or F-5 huds are too much tinted right now but the Harrier one looks quite fine, maybe just slightly more transparent would be perfect but just slightly.

i know how light works ;)

but if i look out of my window i cannot see the glass, its not suddenly a dark tint when i look throu it

About HUD, ED just need to add helmet's fume glass, wich is easy to implement. Look on the MiG 21Bis and M2KC, developpers add it. Very cooland useful feature, just need to add it in game for "General settings".

No VMA-211 skin on release? That made me a sad panda, for sure :(
