Hover stop and nozzle angle wrong

Hello,

 

The angle of the nozzles is at 79 degrees at hover stop when it should be 82 degrees.

 

Also I noticed that when nozzle angle is 90 degrees they point 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground when in fact since the aircraft is 6 degrees pitch up when wheels on the ground, the nozzles should be 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground at 84 degrees nozzle angle.

 

Really enjoying the Harrier! Looking forwards to many improvements to come.

Hi

I didn't noticed anything changed, hover stop is still 82 degrees nozzles to me for a 19.500 - 20.000 LBS GW Harrier:

6,5 degrees aircrat nose up + 1,5 degrees engine inclination + 82 degrees nozzles = 90 degrees hover stop

Anyways, your own mileage may vary based on weight, wind,  and so on (nozzles from 80 to 84 degrees, others say from 81 to 83 degrees)

Regards
