Jel Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 When checking my VREST page, i usually see the calculated weight not being the same as seen in the rearm/refuel window. I was under the impression VREST calculates ALL relevant parts (fuel, water, stores, etc.) Are there parts of the Harrier that don´t get calculated automatically ? Or did i miss anything ? When in doubt - climb. Nobody ever collided with air. Cockpit: Win11Pro on M2.SSD, 128GB DDR5, Ryzen9-7950X3D, RTX4090, AsusROGStrix B650A. WinWing HOTAS MetalWarthog Orion2, MFG Rudder, TrackIR5

I don't know the specifics for the Harrier but DCS has some limitations/fudge factors built in, as common weapons are configured across multiple aircraft/modules. AFAIK this means the weight reported by the VREST page (tuned to match/model the real as best as possible) will not match the rearm/refuel window exactly. If you see a particularly problematic loadout that "looks" wrong on the VREST page, it might be worth creating a bug report, but without more detail, I expect what you are seeing is a DCS modelling/coding limitation.

Jel Posted October 10, 2022 Author Posted October 10, 2022 Hm yeah seems like the calculations are off by around 100 - 500 pounds depending on the external loadout. Flying in a clean configuration is "almost" identical - off only by 10 or 20. When in doubt - climb. Nobody ever collided with air.

It's the water weight, not included in the empty weight in the rearm window
