DmitriKozlowsky Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) 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.

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.......

Preendog Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) It is the only module where you can hover over other people and fog them with the fuel dump. Best ever.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirut Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Trooper Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 For sure the Harrier is right up there as the best DCS jet. HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me.

XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz. Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
