Wondering which Harrier to buy.
Wondering which Harrier to buy. Would get both, but I want the T-2 as well.
Opinions?
I've both of them, and I fly the two on a regular basis. There are little differencies that made the interest of both. If I had to choose, I would say that the GR7/9 is a little better (the cockpit sound, for example), but nothing really important. And since I'm very interested in the spanish Armada, the AV-8B+ is mandatory... So, choose the model you prefer or get both for the price of one...
Here are the North American T-2 Buckeye Lights & bits.

I've been tempted to get the Harrier for quite a while. Now might be the time. A question for those that already have it, how well do the VTOL dynamics work?
Yep, I was looking at the Gr.7/9 myself,. but the Realair Legacy is on sale too this month, as are the nemeth helicopters.. The B-29 is out, as is the Bucc.... :isadizzy:
Very clunky and clumsy. Visually they are beautiful but as far as I'm concerned the VTOL functionality kills it. Haven't flown it since I bought it.
I noticed a lot of people decided to suspend belief and just chalk the funky operation up to realism, saying they can't get it to work right because it requires hours and hours of training.
