SSW1, thanks for the information. Quick question to clarify, since I bought the original version, the upgrade price I have to pay is 10 Euro? Also, do you have screen shots of the upgraded model & VC?

To follow up: I have the FSXX version. If I buy the P3D version, do I have to pay for full price or do I get the discount. I will buy it anyway, but I would not like to accidently pay too much.
 
stick thread

May be is the wrong place, may i ask to stick this thread for a while ?
TIA

I would need some clarification: In your feature list above, you stated the GBU-12 are vACMI-only... Does it mean the laser targeting MFD will not be available for the TacPack users ?
Why didn't you implement the standard TacPack laser targetting system, as used in the F-18 and the A-10 if I remember correctly ?
 
Very nice and CRG! :wavey:

Btw. I see the PANDA software too (moving map), like it was in Tornado.
Is it work as separate software (each time when we start the sim)?

I could go into some technical explanations, but I'll tell you more simply and sincerely that is "laziness" although there are some valid business reasons. :biggrin-new:

Hi,
yes and no, Harrier takes advantage of SSW Red Panda server tecnology, map display related software is external and do not use sim VAS, although there is client side inside the Harrier itself.

Looking good guys! Very nice texture work. I especially like the burn marks on aft fuselage. Any chance to increase pilot size in the future?

Ok but does it start together with sim each time (Red Panda client, so DLL file) or only when Harrier will be loaded.
Id like to know how it works now?

In Tornado for example it starts to work each time when I run FSX rom the beginning.
 
Hi SSW!!! Du you have increased the minimum system requirements for this upgraded Harrier? Thank you

Hi YoYo,
RedPanda is not a client, is the server, it starts always with the sim (his call is into exe.xml), and is able to serve all clients that have the client side code to call it.
However the question is relevant since it is related to what happens if it starts and there is no clients that use it.
Nothing happens, it stays silent out of sim VAS,do not create any child process and it will be killed by the sim when it exits.
If a user wants completely uninstall SSW products it should also delete RedPanda call from exe.xml.
Since in the near future almost all SSW airplanes will be retrofitted to use RedPanda and new products will use it, we strongly hope it will never happen :untroubled:
regards
/SSW

BTW:
Using Red Panda technology we are developing NASARR 21-G radar with antenna tilt and gain control, able to reproduce exactly the real.
In air to air mode it scans and lock targets and behaves as the real thing in managing attack phases with AIM7 Sparrow.
In ground mapping mode it has all real modes, Ground Map Pencil.Ground Map Spoil, Contour Map, Terrain Avoidance and MTI as well.
Because it uses real SRTM terrain maps it computes radar shadows and depicts the terrain as it is.
Furthermore it uses also terrain reflective maps and is able to render below terrain enhancing harder radar returns.
R21-G will retrofit the F104S, after that we will develop NASARR 15A to retrofit FRF-104G
F104S version 6.0.0 MLU will be available soon.

Hello SSW1,
Forgive me, but I cannot find on your website how I can get the discount for already having the previous version of the Harrier. I don’t want to do something wrong and then have to pay full price.
Best regards,
Stickshaker
 
Stickshaker, send an email to SSW with your purchase details and you will receive a discount code to use when purchasing. It sais so on the product details page of the Harrier at the SSW site.

I agree with YoYo, this should be stickied. This upgrade has brought this product to a much higher level:

Dimus, would you post a screen shot of the VC if convenient? I've held back on the SSW Harrier in the past because I already own the Razbam and SSW generally got knocked a bit for their VC quality in comparison. (FDE on the other hand.... always reported as surpassing Razbam's)

Thanks, B
