My short list of bugs in the Harrier

[BlueAngel]

Hi all

 

I'm not a Beta tester and I am aware the plane is still in EA. I'm just listing these errors so that the developers can find something they overlooked. Some of these issues might not even be issues at all, so I apologize in advance if that's the case:

 

1- Refueling in this plane is bugged. When you spend fuel and try to refill the tanks (either by AAR or Ground Crew), two things happen: The internal stores (L and R) deplete immediately. And, all fuel taken only reached total fuel on board count. L and R stores remain both empty, lighting the master caution lights. The other thing that happens is that it seems the fuel taken overloads the plane, rendering it unable to even perform a conventional takeoff.

 

2- It seems that the Sidearm missiles don't like being picked from the lower weapon panel. Also, they appear to perform much better locks to friendly (blue) units.

 

3- The nose sensor appears to be quite blurry in distance. I am sometimes unable to properly ID targets farther that 10nm.

 

4- There seems to be several sound bugs with the plane. But the most common is that other aircraft are just too loud in my cockpit. I also found that bitching betty has some trouble understanding that the landing gear IS DOWN and sends multiple "Lower Gear" aural warnings. I need to raise and lower real quick to make her shut up. The other sound issue I found is that the early stages of engine start are pretty much the same as APU start sounds.

 

5- A Stall Warning isn't implemented? I know several planes don't have it, but in this plane is almost mandatory.

 

6- Is the real life GAU-12 this powerful that you can take out armored vehicles like Shilkas or Tunguskas? Really?

 

7- The Tarawa elevator platform is hollow and I plunged to the sea twice running over it.

 

Thanks for your time. I hope it somehow helps or that you can correct me where I'm wrong.

Already Reported read over current submissions.

Already reported plz read current submissions.

Seems fine to me and probably the best you an expect from the DCS engine just now.

Other aircraft are too loud? and the Harrier is....? too quiet? elaborate a bit?

Sounds are a WIP as stated several times.

5- A Stall Warning isn't implemented? I know several planes don't have it, but in this plane is almost mandatory.

Not sure on this one, the Harrier doesn't really work the same as other aircraft at slow speeds. For example the ventral flaps on the canards open at slower speeds to enable more air to reach the beast.

6- Is the real life GAU-12 this powerful that you can take out armored vehicles like Shilkas or Tunguskas? Really?

Yip, Harriers are used to eat tanks thus a gun to do so is in there.

7- The Tarawa elevator platform is hollow and I plunged to the sea twice running over it.

The Tarawa is a WIP as stated in several posts already.
