AV-8B Harrier Thread

I keep getting a Breakway message from the KC-130 tanker when trying to refuel with my probe out (ooer). Any ideas?

So the update broke our sever and usual training mission. My frame rate in VR dropped noticeably. The AV8 is incomplete with several non functioning systems... and you know what? We had a blast. :) Overall Razbam you knocked it out of the park.

 

Sounds like I should have rage quit from my comments above but I wasn't even bothered.

 

This module is freaking awesome and just a joy to fly + the Tarawa and the kc-130. Damn! Can't wait for the updates to roll out. Keep up the great work guys! You single handedly redeemed in my faith in this sim.

 

Thanks for what imho. Is the perfect example of an "early release".

PS, holy Christ was a hard to find the parking brake LOL

I think, but I´m not sure, you get "Breakaway!" when your closure rate is too fast. When nearing very slowly I didn´t get the message. Couldn´t connect nonetheless, gotta practice some more...

 

Closing speed is less than 3 knots. The new basket less amazing though!!

It was even harder to see in VR. I usually scan around until my curser turns into a green arrow. In the meantime I pressed a bunch of other buttons on my way lol.

I just have to take a second to congratulate Razbam on an excellent release. Its well on its way to being an absolutely excellent module. I haven't smiled so much in a long time.

I have laughed out in dcs either, but with the harrier I had a case where I selected rockets to shoot some fuel trucks. So I pressed pickle and the darn things never stopped firing, they were going absolutely crazy in every direction as I pulled out of my attack run. I looked down and saw that my quantity was set to 22, and multiplier x2.

I was inverted B)

Which cut-off switch? It gets so annoying killing your engines while trying to taxi...

 

 

 

On start up you put the fuel cut off switch up on the throttle and go through the start. Then you take off parking brake and can advance your throttle, but may accidently pull too far back. If you bring it back right to idle you can put the switch back down and it stops it from going into the idle cutoff detent. This may not be the proper way but it works...

I have to do some "adulting" and run to Lowes. When I get back, I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

I don’t think you need to press it to move the throttle forward on startup. If you don’t press it then you avoid having to remember to reset it

Yup I never touched the throttle stop either. I just removed the parking break and went from there. I'm sure the real startup procedure will be taught based on tutorials when they will arrive. But for now it's a fairly simple process.

Correct I just advanced the throttle and then moved back to idle, the stopper did it job not going back to fuel off. Then I just opened the latch to shut down the engine.

Dear RAZBAM team,

Fantastic job, loving this module!

I'm a ex-military pilot myself, but inexperienced flight simmer in comparison. Question;

Are the acceleration algorithms correct for jamming the nozzles forward? I know this sucker has a huge fan and great power to weight, but the time from hover to 250 knots seem incredibly quick. Just thought I'd ask what everyone thought?

Keep up the amazing work, this is my new favorite module!!

Purchased the bird, but will not show up as a download option in DCS in game module mgr.... Never had an issue like this before.. and I have almost ALL the modules... so I am not new to this setup.

Any advice? Apologize if this is the wrong place to ask.

 

First, are you on the most recent DCS OpenBeta, which is 1.5.8? This version is currently required to be able to get the Harrier.

 

If you are, someone on the German forum had the same problem and I think he contacted support, who fixed a license problem and quickly got him airborne.

 

I keep getting a Breakway message from the KC-130 tanker when trying to refuel with my probe out (ooer). Any ideas?

 

My take on it is: ignore them. ;)

 

I assume (though I may be entirely wrong about this) that the tanker logic isn't completely adjusted to the Harrier yet. Or maybe, as someone suggested, it's the closure rate, but from my perspective my flying didn't warrant a breakaway call, at least not as often as I got it. Or, to quote Sledge Hammer: Trust me, I know what I'm doing! (Outchhh). :D

 

(Side note: no tankers were harmed in the making of this comment)

Okay, for some reason, I could not stop thinking about the Harrier while at work today. Came home and didn't even stop to eat. Had to fly!

 

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...

I'll post and upload an initial X56 profile soon - would be nice to have more analogue assignments as the module progresses - I really dislike having all these dials & knobs and not be able to use them. :joystick:
