Folks, I just remembered that some one claimed that he can't use the MPDs. All devices in the aircraft: HUD, UFC/ODU, MPDs, RADIO, must be turned ON before use.
HUD & UFC/ODU: Click on their respective BRT button. The mouse wheel works as well.
MPDs: On the Left Upper Corner, you can find the PWR button, click on it. Note: The right MPD left buttons column is blocked by the Warning Lights Panel. Click on the bottom light in the Caution Light Panel, that is on the right of the UFC to unblock it. The left MPD right buttons column can be unblocked by clicking on the light before the bottom one.
The Lights will reappear when: you click a button in the blocked row, or there is a caution/warning light turning on. When there is a caution/warning light on, you cannot unblock the affected column.
RADIO: Click/use the mouse wheel, on the MODE Knob, which is the one in the left bottom, until the selected radio frequency appear in the screen.

Hopefully he does better than Arnie ....

Definitely better that Arnie, I know I suck at politics, not diplomatic enough, but like him I don't speak English (Scottish not Austrian though).

The SOH-link works fine., Barnes. Thanks!
I never request paints but this one would be cool and I imagine fairly easy.
A flat black,stealth looking paint.I have the Lotus L-39 and he added a civilian black paint that I love. Speaking of love..... I love the "black jets" Sr-71,U2, ect and enjoy flying around Edwards,up to Area-51.
So Ive always thought a non gloss black,stealth Harrier maybe with low vis markings would be a super cool,evil looking plane.
You would also probably be the first to do it .

Hi JimJam
Sorry but im done with painting this one - I hope that someone else starts doing some and may take up your idea.
Apologies
Folks,
We have tested the patch and feel confident that most, if not all, reported bugs have been squashed:
- "Brick Wall" definetively squashed.
- Bank problem, part of the brick wall; fixed.
- "Robot-like" movement while on VTOL (not universal, pc dependent): fixed.
- Sound misconfiguration: Fixed. But the sound package itself will be improved in the upgrade.
- HUD: fixed horizon line and added specific reticles for rockets and AGMs.
- HUD: FPM indicator fixed.
- Mesh snafus that have been identified are fixed.
- Missing rocket pods: fixed.
- Armament Loadout Worksheet: fixed.
- MPCD: Added a partial HUD page, now you can switch between TRUE and MAG heading. TRUE remains the default.
- MAP FPS hit: fixed.
- Landing Lights ON when LG is up: fixed.
- R FUEL light coming on early: fixed.
- Speed Brake not working in the VC: fixed.
- Water System: fixed.
- Altimeter Not marking 10K feet height: fixed.
- Hidden Fuel; fixed. If there is any fuel in a tank that belongs to an external one, the tank will be displayed overriding any armament already installed.
- The engine have been depowered: New weight limit for VTOL is 20,600.
- Explosions effects missing textures: fixed.
Regarding fuel consumption:
We have a disconnect here between how the real aircraft uses fuel and how fsx determines fuel must be used. Trying to get fsx to use fuel as per the real aircraft is doable but puts another fault point in the logic to an already overwatched aircraft, so I didn't.
Fuel consumption in this aircraft as per FSX rule follows the following order:
Outboard Externals L & R (FSX External 1 & 2)
Inboard Externals L & R (FSX Wing Tip L & R)
Wing Tanks L & R (FSX Aux L & R)
Front Tanks L & R (FSX Main L & R)
Starting the moment when either the Inboard Externals (if present) or the Wing Tanks begin to be used, the following tanks are used as well:
Rear Tank (FSX Center3)
Left Feed (FSX Center2)
Right Feed (FSX Center1)
As you fly, the aircraft can become unbalanced. I'll try to work for a solution, but it won't be ready before the upgrade.
The R and L Fuel lights will come on when L and R Feed tanks are near empty. Which may happen while you still have plenty of fuel in the wings. Check the fuel gauge for true fuel status.
The installer should be ready tonight (our time) and the store updated by tomorrow morning (05H00 Zulu - 00H00 EST).

Couple of questions ....
1) How's the model on FPS, compared to other models (eg: A-6, A-7, etc.)
2) I have the Saitek AV8R. Is it possible to keep one throttle lever for throttle, and the other for nozzle control?
Thanks,
DL

It is FPS friendly. Specially since we fixed the map that was creating a huge fps hit. Of course mileage may vary on computer specs.
Yes. But the Throttle lever must be set to the general (all engines) Throttle axis. The other lever must be set to the Propeller 1 Pitch.
You're welcome.
