For those that have asked, the new Harrier GR.3 and SHAR1 work perfectly in Windows7.

AutoSTO, STOL and VTOL modes are all functioning perfectly. Not long now.:engel016:
 
That looks fantastic Bazzer, it looks like I will be spending some time at Wittering in the not to distant future,

Hi,

That looks absolutely faboulous. I am really looking forward to this one and I hope this thread will remain about the Wilco GR3 and SHAR :)

Thanks
 
Hi, im really curious with the below points i have listed;

  1. LGB, Clean and AIM-9 only loadouts? What about CBU, 500/1000lb, CBLS, SNEB/Rocket packs, just Tanks, just inner pylons (Unremovable due to no wiring joints for the WE177!)???
  2. Centre Pylon not used? IIRC this was used by GR3 alot?
  3. Aden Pods perminant? Harriers flew without them some times, both SHAR and GR3!
  4. VIF'ing possible? Id guess this could be but with some FSX limitations?
 
And presumably sir, you'd like this tomorrow?...:d

VIFFing is possible with this new VSTOL/STOL setup. In fact you can preset the nozzles.

Incidentally, sources indicate that Harrier pilots were discouraged from VIFFing- very few ever used the technique and certainly not in combat.
 
Looking nice, may well have to add this to me FSX stable.

Bazzar, sorry to be a pedant, but was the twin Sidewinder installation really applicable to GR3; I remember it being a post-Falklands fit applied to the Sea Harrier, but don't ever recall seeing it on the RAF mudmover? Not that it will stop me picking this up when it is released!!!! :icon_lol:
 
Bazzer,
Any thoughts on doing a two seater add on expansion pack at any stage? Just a thought, and it would finish it off nicely.
Regards,
Ian.
 
She sure look awesome, no doubt about that!! Still, and this is a minor issue, having a radar display inside the GR3 cockpit instead of a moving map?? Hopefully that will be fixed.

Cheers.

Hi Bazzar
I visited Wilco site, saw the awsome screenshots but nothing saying which platform is made for: before I ask permission to the dear mother of my three sons if I'm allowed to use her Amex card

, is the Harrier native FSX ??? :wiggle:

The Harrier is native FSX.

The radar is indeed "non-standard". We have put it in because a)It is a great piece of programming and actually works as a tracking and identification radar and is linked to targeting on the HUD. A moving map in FSX is really only possible using a version of the traffic radar or GPS, with terrain detail. This was tried but hard-coded into the VC, the resultant loss in framerates would be unacceptable. We believe that the radar is a happy compromise.

Of course, you can always turn it off, a switch is provided and there's a perfect facsimile of the moving map underneath with the Goose Green area depicted.

The radar and moving map facsimile are mapped spherically under the glass lens.:engel016:
 
Don't worry, you'll be quite safe with the auto-flap system. The wing really does change its lift characteristic on the fly. Beside your plane will be much lighter without that spare wing hanging about...:engel016:
