AV-8B Harrier Thread

I've done the same so many times.Cant wait for it.

The first reason is that the Maverick types carried by the Harrier (AGM-65E and F) cannot be loaded on LAU-88s.

 

Even if the aircraft used AGM-65D and H, LAU-88s (they are launchers, not ejector racks) are huge, heavy, and produce a lot of drag. The Harrier just isn't big enough. It's role and typical mission profile also necessitates light loadouts.

 

LAU-88s are very rarely used these days by any aircraft type.

Wow, thanks for that info. Disappointing to hear but much appreciated.

I spent ages Making a road base for a night mission we ran only problem I found = unable to get NVGs added as can't rearm. and in the ME menu you can't add them so had to scrap it and go for a carrier hahaha

This pics are made in a actual MP mission flown by my virtual Squadron. The base is fully operational, we rearmed and refuelled there with no troubles. you can also repar, use ground power and ask for the NVG.

but I agree that making this base operations was not easy, the critical thing is to find the proper terrain really flat around the road.

But it is doable

 

However I hope we can have a better Mod or easier solution to make it so.

Yeah, I kinda felt the same given how useful the Mavericks are on the Harrier with the DMT, but I spent quite a bit of time trying to hunt down any evidence of carrying even just 2 Mavericks on a single hardpoint and couldn't find anything, same with the Zuni pods.

I can't count how many times I've had a heart attack in this plane thanks to no missile warning system.

I Love this Plane.:happy:

I feel it too - So much I told my boss I wont be back before I can focus on my job again. :D

Hello. Where is possible to find this road Farp created by P. . do you have a link for the download? And, can this create after some problem with the original DCS / Razbam products? Thanks. Bye

This Mod replaces the original FARP.

So in other missions FARPS may look pretty weird.

If used in MP Missions, everybody needs to have the Mod installed, this likely does mean public servers do not use it.

 

Not sure if it breaks integrity, but it likely does. This would prevent you from joining MP servers with integrity check activated.

Thank you really for the quick answer. I don't use multiplayer usually , I prefer to play alone, so, in some way, I could use this patch but for what I ve understood it's better to don'tuse it anyway. I hope that Dcs or Razbam will think about this possibility (a road farp) adding a hause made patch without related problems because I think that, in multiplayer or in single missions, now that there is this new plane, this kind of farp would be very nice, giving a near to unlimited number of places where to take off and land. This patch could be avoided if it would be possibile to have a vertical take off from the actual Farp with some weapons load, but, for what I know and for what I tryed, it's not possible, at least in Nevada map .

Fabion66 - use JSGME or OvGME (if not already) and you'll be able to activate/deactivate any mods changes with 2 clicks. Here's a guide if needed: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607

My wingman does not respond. How do you communicate with wingman? Do you have to setup a channel in the ME?

 

EDIT: nevermind! I answered my own question :doh:

Sooo, it's been 1.5 months since the early access release! I guess it's time to hear about the plans on the continued development of the features.

 

To me, the most interesting ones are how's the work progressing on the following items?

- TGP integration

- Autopilot

- And, most importantly, INS and NAV systems

 

I really want to get my TACANs working properly with radials, get proper magnetic headings and be able to create and edit waypoints in flight.

IMO one of the most important items missing is the VREST page.

+1 :thumbup: though without even going to which part would be prefared but at least a priority list from RAZBAM showing order in which missing features are going to be delivered would be much appreciated.

No Updates this week? 1.19.18

 

No updates scheduled for 1.5 or 2.2?

2.5 is coming so no point really

 

Hopefully only a week to go ;)

Please tell me the servers are prepared for 2.5. It took me two and a half days to download 2.2 on a 100mbps connection.

By prepared, if you mean do the servers have 2.5 installed.

 

No buddy, the servers will have the download when every one else does mate

If you have 1.5 Openbeta and 2.2 installed, you can Update 1.5 OB to 2.5 OB while the install will take a lot of files from 2.2, already on the PC.

Do not delete 1.5 Openbeta or 2.2 even when you plan to install 2.5 from scratch, unless you run out of space.

 

This can save a lot of download time.

By prepared I mean not having terrible download speeds. My ISP blocks torrents and the HTTP servers have typically been running at 60kbps up to a week after a patch drops.

 

 

I have 1.5 Release and 2.2 on an SSD, but no room for a third branch.

It's not a third branch though, it's a replacement for both of the others. If you get a free trial for a VPN service, would that not circumvent your isps' block?

Am I the only one that struggles to see at night in VR even when using FLIR or NVGs? And unfortunately, the Tarawa does not have any lights on it so I can only see it when I'm up close to it and by that time I'm passing it up. :)

Would 2.5 overwrite one of my current branches? My main concern is that I only have 9GB left on that SSD.

 

Most VPN trials limit your bandwidth IIRC.

If you have 1.5.8 Openbeta(!) this will be updated to 2.5 Openbeta. You will "replace" and "add" files in/to 1.5.8 Openbeta from 2.2 and download the remaining updates from the internet.

Unfortunately 9GB is tough! As you would need space for at least the additional one or two map(s) from 2.2 (Nevada and Normandy) if you update 1.5.8 Openbeta.

 

Any chance to switch the provider and get a larger SSD?
