Early test of AV-8B Night Attack for DCS.


Zeus67

Recommended Posts

The Basic HUD is nearly complete for both NAV and VSTOL modes. Further work must wait until the EFM is more advanced since the HUD requires certain parameters that must be fed by the EFM.

 

VSTOL mode: This mode is used when most of the lift is generated by the engines instead of the wings. It provides very useful data like engine RPM, Jet Tail Pipe Temperature, nozzle orientation and flaps deployment. All this is very important information that you need to stay alive while in jet borne operations. Remember, this aircraft is actively trying to kill you.

 

NAV mode: Default mode used for non combat flying.

 

Flaps are automatic so you do not have a flap handle but a switch that changes flaps operation:

CRUISE - Basically for flying. Flaps remain at a fixed position

AUTO - A compromise between CRUISE and STOL. Flaps move depending on aircraft configuration.

STOL - The main mode for jet borne operation (VSTOL). With the flaps in VSTOL mode, they move automatically based on nozzle orientation. (check the VSTOL HUD).

I feel this way about several aircraft at times.:joystick:

is it still WIP or why is the FPM always so high up that you get a negative aoa?

 

It is not even an Alpha. Development has just started. Everything is just basic or placeholder.

Incredible to see this bird in DCS, It just looks fabulous.

Really looking forward to trying the vertical take off and landing in DCS world.

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.

When I was first playing flight sims in the early 90s I could only dream of getting aircraft modelled to this level of detail. But there are 4 aircraft that I have wanted more than any other.

1 the Spitfire

2 the Tomcat

3 a harrier

& 4 a Tornado.

One is here and two are on the way and it's a dream come true. I'm also so impressed with Razbams work they have made me a Mirage 2000 fan, and have shown beyond doubt they are capable of producing high quality aircraft for DCS.

It just leaves the Tornado. One day I long for a Tornado.

The Harrier is looking wonderful guys.

I think they have confirmed that other versions will be made once ED release the ground radar code they're working on. I imagine it'll be released in tandem with the F/A-18C.

First flying test of the MPCD. They are very wip but we wanted to test the EHSD compass rose and MPCD page navigation while on flight.
