brettt777 Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 First, I'm wondering why there's no forum page for the Harrier. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out the FLIR and Mavericks in the Harrier. For some reason both the AAQ-28 targeting pod and the AGM-65F Maverick won't see my targets. Or I should say, they see them as cold and dark and therefore won't lock on and track. Last night I tried the exact same scenario with the F-16 and F-18 using the same AAQ-28 and the same IR Mavericks. They worked. All my targets were lit up and easily locked and tracked. Someone told me that the Harrier has a new FLIR. So, what does that mean? It's using the same Tpod and weapon as the Hornet. Why wouldn't the FLIR look the same? I've also thought about my targets looking cold because they aren't moving. Well, I have tried it with the targets moving and they are still sold and dark. Also, when I destroyed one BTR-80 with the Hornet last night, two of the others moved to change their location. So they aren't sitting there all shut down. Anyway, just trying to figure out what I need to do different to make the same setup work on the Harrier.

rcjonessnp175 Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) https://forum.dcs.world/forum/312-av-8b-na/ harrier has new flir modeling meaning it’s the new system in dcs and is very sensitive to weather vehicles have been moving or using weapons or not. It’s work in progress but much more enhanced than the f18 f16 right now. Also you have to adjust gain contrast brightness in order for best picture, just like real life….

Spurts Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Also, the Lightning pods are different models. Harrier has the G4 which has the best optics. 1
brettt777 Posted May 28, 2022 Author Posted May 28, 2022 Okay, so last night I set up a mission where the targets were moving towards a distant waypoint. It took me a bit to get the switchology down right, but I did manage to get three Mavericks off and kill three of the four. The fourth one seemed to park and shut down cuz he appeared to go dark. Then I flew around looking for a better angle only to find out that he fled the area and was hauling a** down the highway so I did get him eventually. Anyway, I think I got it now. Thanks for all the help guys. 2 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4.4ghz, 64gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz, GeForce RTX-3060ti 8GB DDR6, Three KTC 32" QHD monitors @ 165hz, Rosewill 80plus Bronze 1000w, Corsair Hydro H100i, 2tb M.2 SSD for OS, Two 3tb HDD, 2tb SSD for DCS, P3D, Star Citizen, Sound Blaster Zx, Thermaltake Overseer RX-I, Winwing Orion 2 HOTAS F-15EX throttle and F-16EX stick, Winwing 3 MFD MIP with FA-18 UFC and F-16 ICP, TrackIR 5, Surround Speakers & Subwoofer, Oculus Quest 2 VR. :joystick::pilotfly:
sorcer3r Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 New FLIR seems to be there but it feels very early access I am just wondering if non-moving ground units are displayed too cold because they have still their engines running in order to use their weapons ?

Spurts Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 unless the ME gets updated to have an "Idle" vs "off" selection then vehicles are assumed to have their motors off until they do something. The engines will turn on and get warm when they engage you. SAM radars stay hot, and SAM missiles seem to as well.
