Panzerfan Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Anyone know anything about the Moving Map? Can't find it even mentioned in the handbook or any of the screenshots/videos released.

=Mac= Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ok I see now the tail has left right thrust...sorry Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk I just saw this: The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

=Mac= Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 ...Avoiding pilot induced oscillations is also a skill learned in a helicopter. Unfortunately, I have yet to acquire that skill in the Huey or the Gazelle. If I have been flying the Huey for a while and then get in my car to drive somewhere, I find myself nodding yes alot. Or nodding a bank angle back and forth somewhat. Wifey has yet to complain about it. Probably confirms to her that I'm crazy. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground.

DefaultFace Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 @Panzerfan There’s videos of it on YouTube..... also mentioned in the ever trusty Wikipedia :P I assume the mapm button on the EHSD is for this?

Nero.ger Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 who cares about OTHERS flying it. I want my own that i preordered. If you want i also make some youtube videos of my poor performance 1 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

shagrat Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 A nice video I found, to add to the Harrier Hype!I love the part beginning at 2:05 where he explains the Mission profile and tasks for the Harriers... Especially where he mentions the specific Air-to-air tasks like Combat Air Patrol within the capabilities of the aircraft. That's my kinda Multi-Role Toy!

DefaultFace Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Part 1. Lots of the stuff in this part is fairly basic overview but some of the detail about the pilot controls and how the engine works is fairly interesting. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don´t know, but seeing this videos and watching how easy this people take off and land this airplane with almost no trainning, worries me about the realism of the flight model, I´m the only one???:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester986 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I heard him say a few times that was his most successful landing. I also saw a lot of pictures from RAZBAM of unintentional crashes during testing. Also due to the low number of Harrier pilots on here we have to take it on faith that they've done there homework. If you can't do that well maybe its not for you. Also we have to keep in mind there are limits to what a computer can simulate. Being a real helicopter pilot I've been in a lot of arguments with people who say one of our helicopter modules is not realistic when in fact it's a lot closer than another that wins praise(which is still good btw). I like realism and want to see as much as possible, but I don't expect to be able to play DCS and then be able to get in the actual aircraft and fly it. But hey RAZBAM if you can manage bring it on!

Robert31178 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 WarHawk just said it was hands down the most difficult plane to fly in the sim. Also, his landing grade I'd give a 5.5 out of 10 - He made it without breaking something, but that's about it. Lastly, if you think he hadn't practiced a whole bunch before making a vid you're crazy! Why not quit worrying and enjoy what we end up with? At least get the module in hand and see how "easy" it is once you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_der Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Maybe we should bring in a System that if you crash your plane you would have to rebuy the module or something for people to get a fear of doing things wrong :megalol: Everything is easy in a simulator because there are no consequences. Everyone here who is not a full blown newbie to a Flight Simulation and has a good Eye Hand Coordination will get the Harrier in the Air and back on the Ground. With building experience you will become more and more precise. But I wouldn't call the Flight Model Bad or Easy. It's more the surroundings you're in making everything easy ;) Looking forward to more Videos & getting the Hands on this awesome bird myself :joystick: :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the Ka-50, A-10C, P-51, Mirage, SU-27, F-15...(every module) people tend to wait before complaining about the "fallacy" of the flight model. 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Nero.ger Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 well there is a difference...in a Game its no problem if i screw up 9 out of 10 TOs. in real life it des make a difference, so long training is needed because you only get one life. Imagine you buy the game and can only play until you crash ;) 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.
