RAZBAM proudly presents: The AV-8B Harrier II Plus for FSX

Just a heads up:
Currently fixed bugs:

- "Brick Wall": Fixed.
- Hidden Fuel: Fixed. The Fuel Checker is now active. Now if there is fuel in the assigned external tanks, the tanks will become visible and any ordnance in those stations will be overridden.
- Speed Break cannot be activated from inside the VC: Fixed.
- Water System is not active: Fixed.
- Rockets from Station 6 do not fire: Fixed.

We are checking the "bitching Betty" logic to get rid of those annoying sounds.
Other bugs/issues will be solved in due time.

I registered over at the RAZBAM forums, again, haven't been approved yet, again.
Just going to post this info here because its late, I'm tired, and going to bed, and I have important stuff to do tomorrow morning.


Add this to the list:

- Throttle not linking to peripheral devices.
Have a Logitech G940 that the throttle in the Harrier is not reading at all.
No, its not a problem with my gear, yes its calibrated, it works just great with all other aircraft in the FSX Hangar.
I can use the mouse to move the throttle in the VC, but I own a G940 to do that instead.

- Weapon Loadout Screen not working at all.
Went through the MUD manual, 5 times, watched the YouTube video twice, nothing.
All of the 'fields' on the Weapons Loadout Screen are unclickable.
Nada. Nothing at all.

- MFD Screens not displaying.
Has been mentioned over at your forums I think, except I can get the RADAR, Stores, and Engine Data to work.
That's all.

EDIT: Using Windows 7 Home Premium, FSX Acceleration

Otherwise, not bad. I'm sure I'll enjoy it when its finished.
Disappointed at the state it is currently in, and lack of a complete manual however. :salute:
 
They've somme difficulties with spam, so it takes times, indeed, but it comes.

@ Dain, for the loadout manager, don't forget it works with engine completely off and parking brake set, I think. But I've a friend that has the problem, and it came from his installation : the DLL "RZAV8BCM.dll" was not in the add-on module of FSX. A reinstall (of the plane) solves the issue.

Mind you, folks, the engine has to be stopped, the aircraft on the ground, the parking brake set and the battery switch in the cockpit must be ON for the loadout manager to handle stores etc.!
Also, as mentioned, check that the module is entered in the dll.xml file (might be done only for the administrator by the installer) and I had to copy it to the normal \FSX\modules folder, as it was not recognized in the \addon modules\ folder although the file path pointed in the right direction.

Good luck!

@Zeus Thanks for the assist , all working ok now. The keyboard shortcuts and figuring out how to get the HUD working properly helped. Another question has come to mind though... Is there a quick way to eject the underwing tanks when fitted?

@Ron... I dont suppose when you come to do the British Harriers you fancy including the GR5... the one with the nose that looks like it had a snow plow fitted :icon_lol: Also wondered if you plan to do the AV8B before it became the radar equipped II plus?

It should. I'll check. This aircraft has a ton of functions and I wasn't able to check them all before release.

We are trying to set a Vol 2 release date. Hopefully, it will be this year. As for your request. I'll let Ron reply that one.
 
That would be great, of course ! A GR7 in Arctic Camouflage is one of the most outstanding planes I've ever seen...

------------------


Btw, as we're speaking about the future, is there news about a release of the Principe De Asturias ? You annouced it sometimes ago, and even a price, that I'm ready to pay to have this nice platform under your AV-8B...
 
Still haven't gotten activated over at the RAZBAM forums, so I'll just keep posting here until then...
EDIT: Got an email I was approved but still will not let me post.

Got the Loadout Manager to work on the suggestion to copy the .dll to the 'Modules' folder instead.
Instantly worked after doing that.

Any peripheral throttle I have is NOT working with the Harrier.
These throttles work just fine for ALL other FSX aircraft that I own.
Doesn't make sense either, as the axis I have assigned for Props on the Throttle Peripheral, moves the Nozzles on the Harrier just fine.
No, re-assigning the throttle to another axis does not work, except...
NOTE: The hatswitch on the Joystick seems to be able to be recognized as a throttle as far as the Harrier is concerned, but this isn't really viable as it resets itself to the middle obviously.
Guessing there is an issue with the programming in the module???
I still love this project overall, but hope this Throttle issue gets addressed soon.
 
I have hangered my Harrier until some patches are released. Searching the forums and saw alot of wierd issues but none related to the joystick. When I turn on the left mfd I hear a apu sound and the map does not work for example. I had to manually install each folder to their proper places so if I were you I would carefully reinstall and reboot.
I am using a Saitek X52 stock/throttle/rudder pedals with the slider on the throttle for prop pitch/rpm and have no issues with either throttle or the nozzles.
Btw- What joystick/hotas are you using?

Logitech G940, latest hardware/firmware/drivers.
Yeah, it makes no sense, I've never had an issue with the throttle with any other add on, it's axis are mapped in FSX as you would any other peripheral.
Plus the Prop axis is working fine as I said back a page.
EDIT: Yes, I do have FSUIPC installed, as some other addons require it, but as the unregistered version usage only.

I have already reinstalled, and uninstalled and reinstalled, thanks.

Your account is active in the forums. As for the problem, can you tell me how the throttles are mapped?

We are solving the sound issues. Soon you will be able to enjoy the aircraft in full.
 
I hate doing camo repaints - I still have a few things to tidy.

Obviously, until they do them, we already have already released both the Gr5 and the camo GR7 for use in FSx

I would second that question! The screenshots looked very promissing. It would be a nice deck to fly from.
