When viewed in retrospect 10 years from now. DCS: AV-8B/NA is likely to be judged as greatest consumer flight sim module.

The sophistication of this sim, as well as skills required to fly it, is as unique as the aircraft it was modeled on.

The inflight refueling is the most difficult task in DCS. Bar none. At least of the modules I have.

If RAZBAM adds Plus+ radar and AIM-120, with AIM-9X with helmet queuing. The module, may be considered complete. At least feature wise.

If course no software, and real world aircraft is ever complete. A modern NATO kit option would be a fantastic addition. British Joint Force Harrier kit. Specifically; radar of Plus+, 2 additional AIM-9 hardpoints, SniperXR pod.

The sophistication of this sim, as well as skills required to fly it, is as unique as the aircraft it was modeled on.  Big yourself up there. Its not that difficult

The inflight refueling is the most difficult task in DCS. Bar none. At least of the modules I have.  Its not - quite the opposite. the Harrier is very stable and responsive on the throttle. Its one of the easiest. Again Mi 8 is the hardest.......

If RAZBAM adds Plus+ radar and AIM-120, with AIM-9X with helmet queuing. The module, may be considered complete. At least feature wise. I think RAZBAM may disagree with you about what "feature complete" means

If course no software, and real world aircraft is ever complete. A modern NATO kit option would be a fantastic addition. British Joint Force Harrier kit. Specifically; radar of Plus+, 2 additional AIM-9 hardpoints, SniperXR pod.  I think the Sopwith Camel is now classed as feature complete. 

 

Other than that, I agree.

Well you can always pretend and chase down a KC-130.

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

There was a mod with a landing pad on a truck. I always wondered about coveining a little convoy using it with the necessary pre-requisits for a FARP and having that do a circuit but the idea never got any further than idle thought and id think Id be stuck circling a farp rather then being truly mobile. 

EDIT -so I found it, tried and.....................its its fubar'd seven ways to sunday. The convoy doesnt keep convoy and the truck is essentally a static object. Shame - back to chasing KC130s...........hmmm.............a KC130 towing a helipad.......

It is the only module where you can hover over other people and fog them with the fuel dump.

Best ever.

Cons:  Cannot ignite fuel cloud.

  To be bluntly honest, I think that award would probably more rightfully go to something like the A-10C module or even the F-14 module in terms of not just simulation accuracy but also overall polish and workmanship. The Harrier module isn't bad but in the grand scheme of DCS modules and when one puts all personal bias for the aircraft, the module, and RAZBAM aside, it still struggles to meet the standard set by the A-10 or the Tomcat module.

I don't know if the Harrier is the best, but it's certainly very good and a lot of fun.

 

Gimme dual rack pylons of APKWS and even the most basic HMCS and I'll be very happy.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

For sure the Harrier is right up there as the best DCS jet.

HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!.

Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.
