SSW AV8B II+ Harrier

I flew all the IL2 sims, LOMAC F-15 and the Dcs series Blackshark,A-10.. Spent more time setting up the hotas than flying and I had pages of keystrokes taped on my monitor. Loved it!
Also all the FSX system heavy monsters. I could cold and dark the PMDG 747 to taxi in minutes. I still on accasion enjoy these types but I no longer obsess myself with one specific aircraft. I use a basic, one size fits all HOTAS arrangement. I do not mind changing a few for nozzles ect but if any aircraft, not just this ssw version required me to totally rearrange my setup and/or I needed all ten fingers to fly it I probably would pass. Again nothing at all wrong with by the book,systems heavy aircraft or sims, love em.

Hi Jimjam,
no special assignments are needed for this wonderful aircraft: i've just assigned on my X52 rotary switch the nozzle command. And, for my choice, the radar buttons. But a moderate knowledge of the manual is mandatory, to understand all the systems of the Harrier, and appreciate the functions implemented in this model. No headaches, but just fun and interesting reads, i can swear! ;)

I am using X-45 together with T16000,these are my assignments: on the throttle: Speed brakes,flap selector and landing gear control. On the T16000 pushbuttons: relase droppable objects,radar range,radar target selector,steering enabler,inertial navigation stations switcher. On the T16000 grip: trims nose up/down,wheelbrakes (in flight this keystroke is used for rocket/cannon/air to air missiles) Because of we use the same key combination for the F-104 ,S&G,you will have the same features in both airplanes.Obviously,with the Zipper there is no need to use the prop pitch control for the nozzle orientation.
Again,it's useful if you have a rotary switch to control the nozzles,better if you invert the axis. The best way should be to have a throttle controller with two levers,one assigned for the engine,one for the nozzle control...But it flies well also with a rotary switch control.
 
To be honest your 104 now has my attention. The old Cloud9 104 was one of the most difficult to master aircraft I ever flown and I enjoyed every minute of it. A rocket with wings added as a afterthought where the standard operating procedure for stall recovery was to eject. Thats my kind of bird.

About this,I think you will be satisfacted.The G version is born after two years of developing,we are very happy of the final result,hope you will too.
 
Hey guys,

I recently downloaded both aircraft and they look great. However I can not get my rudder to work at all. I twist my joystick to turn my rudder and the rudder does not work. I cannot taxi because the nose wheel will not turn. Any help?
Sincerely,
Maverick377

Don't forget to activate nose weel steering before taxi.

To engage/disingage steering assign a key stroke or joystick button (preferred) to “TOGGLE LAUNCH BAR” FSX event .
