Harrier Loadouts


crazyeddie

Recommended Posts

Have just activated the Harrier in DCS - this is a really nice model and I have changed the skin to a Royal Navy 800 Sqn Version.

 

I know ED are working on making it fly 'properly' and for the moment it flies just as an straight jet. Even so it looks and flies beautifully.

 

Is anyone working on the loadouts ? I have had a go at it but I do not really know what to modify and I am sure I read somebody was working on it.

What? How do you 'know' ED are working on making it fly properly??

 

You 'activated' the Harrier?

 

What? :eek:

 

Three lines of text really fails to describe what you're trying to tell. The Harrier isn't even slated for a DCS release so far, unless I'm going by an outdated list.

Yep, the Harrier is in there, the model is in Shapes and Lua in the Scripts Database section, all you have to do is allocate it to a country, that's a pretty simple process but all you have is a nice model at present that flies like an ordinary jet, no guns no weapons. It sits on the ground properly too, looks right to me.

 

I'm sure I read somewhere the ED were working on the flight model, might be wrong about that, I simply take it that whoever wrote it knows, they might be talking complete tosh, only ED can verify that and they have remained silent on most questions asked so far.

 

Sadly only 1 skin slot for it, 3 or 4 would be nice.

 

The loadouts are nominated in the Lua file but do not show up in the Mission Editor, that is the bit I am trying to overcome next, if anyone can help.

Hi,

 

At the moment I figure out how is it possible. :-) But something data is missing or mixed. For example in the BAE_Harrier.lua the Harrier CLSID is(e9dd44e3-9aa5-4055-84c4-6bf1d128148b) but the db_countries.lua this ID is assigned (but doesn't activated) to the UK C-130J!!

 

-- cnt_unit("{e9dd44e3-9aa5-4055-84c4-6bf1d128148b}", "C-130J", {

-- color_scheme("{897c8a9d-ce80-49eb-8c98-c5d2e6930347}", "RAF Standart"),

-- }),

 

P.S: Have you a list of the Harrier loadout? It's could be easier to me.

Yes it is the same as the C-130J, but there is no C-130J model or Lua so if you install it, it will show up as the Harrier. I just left the C130J stuff alone, there does not appear to be any conflict between the two. I assume ED were planning a C-130J long term.

 

If you look in the Lua file it shows the CLSID numbers for the various weapons on the different pylons for the Harrier, I assume they are the correct weapons and the orientation is correct for the pylons. ED must have gotten that far with it before the release.

 

The problem is knowing how to make them appear on the model or in the Mission Editor, I have just started looking at that to see if I can work out how to do it. I have not managed to work it out yet, it's all trial and error and its a long slow process.

 

A little help from ED would be much appreciated ???

Please remove the two "--" in front of the

--plane_file("planes\\BAE_Harrier.lua");
in the db_units_planes.lua it should be work! :-)

 

And please correct the Harrier loadout pic name in the BAE_Harrier.lua from "BAE Harrier.png" to "BAE_Harrier.png"

 

P.S.: They aren't the correct weapons and the orientation at the moment, but I alreday working on it.

 

I attached the mentioned files, and my loadout V0.9.

Harrier.zip

Yes, got all that.

 

The loadouts are set up in the Harrier.Lua file and again in 2 x UnitPayload files in Blackshark/Data/Scripts. All they are showing there is the 3 tasks for the harrier, so that is where we need to insert the correct loadouts. I have a suspicion the loadouts set up in the Lua file are for the AV-8B, American weapon loads - not UK.

 

There is another problem, the Harrier loadout picture shows 10 hardpoints but the Lua file only has 8 pylons to work with, and there are only 8 showing up in the Mission Editor - I think numbers 5 and 6 are allocated to the Gun pods fixed under the airframe so the wing hardpoints must be 1 to 4 and 5 to 8.

 

It looks very complicated at first glance, will need to play around with it to see how it works. Backing everything up first !!!

 

This could take a long time.

T Bone, download the harrier.zip file posted by beczl above and replace the existing files with his, you will have to look around inside your Black Shark game files to find the right ones, that's a good way to find your way around and it is good practice anyway so give it a try.

 

Next time you go into the Mission Editor it will be there, no weapon loadouts yet. DO make a copy of your existing files before you replace them and stow them somewhere safe, just incase you have problems, you can always put the originals back.

 

The default skin is a UK 20 Sqn RAF one, a bit too light for current day Harrier Task Force textures.

I attached the corrected Harrier.lua and loadout picture files.

 

Just overwrite them

...\Scripts\Database\planes\BAE_Harrier.lua

...\BlackShark\data\images\Loadout\Units\BAE_Harrier.png

 

I'll figure out how can I insert into the game the LAU-7 pylon

@Рустам: It's only AI flyable:

 

@Esac mirmidon:

1.) Open ..\Scripts\Database\db_countries.lua

 

Search the USA or UK countries entry:

 

USA:

country("{EFADDFE6-9360-4523-8CAB-2D74182617FD}", _("USA"), "USA", "USA", "USA.png", 2,

 

UK:

country("{67A95888-8FE1-46CC-BC30-95F2BC772551}", _("UK"), "UK", "UK", "UK.png", 4,

 

 

You have to insert the following code after one of plane entry:

 

cnt_unit("{e9dd44e3-9aa5-4055-84c4-6bf1d128148b}", "BAE Harrier", {

color_scheme("{897c8a9d-ce80-49eb-8c98-c5d2e6930347}", "Standart"),

}),

 

for example USA:

 

cnt_unit("{8B709A69-CE5E-46bc-B0D4-159238B52E2A}", "S-3B Tanker", {

color_scheme("{66ED3430-0D09-41B1-9729-5C1EBB950789}", "USAF Standart"),

}),

cnt_unit("{e9dd44e3-9aa5-4055-84c4-6bf1d128148b}", "BAE Harrier", {

color_scheme("{897c8a9d-ce80-49eb-8c98-c5d2e6930347}", "Standart"),

}),

 

for example UK:

 

cnt_unit("{0213FA86-978D-4586-BAC3-BD642AD52B96}", "C-130J", {

color_scheme("{b4bb1272-8589-4ed4-aa9f-2abffad6177a}", "RAF Standart"),

}),

cnt_unit("{e9dd44e3-9aa5-4055-84c4-6bf1d128148b}", "BAE Harrier", {

color_scheme("{897c8a9d-ce80-49eb-8c98-c5d2e6930347}", "Standart"),

}),

 

Important! Backup all of original file and always use Notepad++ to file modification.

 

I created the Harrier installation manual. Unzip and read the linked file.

The current RAF/RN Gr 7/9 does not carry Sea Eagle but it does carry rocket pods, I am still trying to find rocket pods that match the UK version best.

 

I have used the Aim 9P, it best matches current UK Aim's.

 

I have changed the tank to the smaller F18 tank, you can leave the larger one on as well, they appear to use the larger ones more often.

 

The UK only have AGM 65G2 version, it is very similar to the D version that is in the game so I have left that in and changed the skin.

 

I am working on RN 800 Sqn Skin, GBU 10 to look like a UK 1000 lb LGB, AGM 65D into a 65G2 and match the F18 tank skin if I can.

 

The gun pods under UK Harriers are empty boxes, just used to keep the aerodynamics of the aircraft correct, so no guns on this bird, sorry.
