Wilco Harrier (Download version released!)

Then you are set to go Chris. Maker sure, though that the null zones are set up correctly for your stick and that it zeros accurately. Otherwise you might get a surprise!

The auto STO lever can be set using keystrokes for guaranteed nozzle position if you prefer.

First patch/upgrade should be at the site or will be very soon. Those flap and poly glitches are fixed and you can now see the refuel probe from the VC when you use the call-up switch.:engel016:
 
I've not had any problems seeing the refuelling probe in either the GR3 or FRS1 from the VC.

I only have a couple of minor issues; the texture for the glass is probably trying to represent perspex distortion, but it's a bit annoying. Any chance of an alternative texture? And also I can't seem to clear the 'H' hydraulic pressure warning, but I need to read the manual more thoroughly I suspect for that one.

Otherwise this is a fantastic aircraft. The VSTOL flight is superb, both take offs and landings are fairly easy with a little practice and it is nice to have something quick that can get into any airport.

I too find that texture annoying in an otherwise very fun aircraft to fly. To solve that texture issue you can rename the file "AH_Harrier_Glass_t.dds" in the "FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Wilco_HJJ\texture" folder.

Cool, I'll try that.

Apparently the Harrier is fine with low Hydraulic pressure as it seems to fly ok!
 
Just ignore that "H",... and the EGT overtemp readout, and the aoa gauge that's labelled 'g-meter' lol. A few minor quibbles IMO it's a great plane overall.
 
HUD eats FPS

Since it's an early release of a truly wonderful plane, I think Wilco will be interested in a little feedback. Here are mine...

FPS were quite poor on my system until I desactivated the HUD (all the lines with "HJJ_HUD" in panel.cfg)... Got immediatly 5 to 8 more FPS, that's 25% !

The parking brake doesn't hold much... it disengage automaticaly way too soon... couldn't find a hack for this one...

Not a bug but a comment: since the flaps are automatic, I think it's a pain to use the Prop-pitch key for nozzle control... Don't have enough button on my joystick, had to cancel gear and brakes to make room for nozzle control... The freeware Iris Harrier with Rob's VTOL gauge works very well with the flaps keys! Maybe I'm to conservative...

Anyway, thanks Wilco and Rob, I was waiting for a real FSX Harrier for quite some time, and here it is! I hope I won't spoil the fun... Version 1.1 will be perfect!

Rob's new system has been designed specifically to make things more realistic. You don't need to assign your controller, keystrokes work perfectly well. Also, as flaps are indeed automatic why not re-assign your flaps controller?

Glad you are enjoying it.:engel016:
 
Does the Harrier GR3 should have the engine water injection extra-power / overspeed control ?
Or i am wrong ?
 


"Hmmmmmmm.... it is quite obvious who published it, but.... who MADE it ??"​



ummm we did...:engel016:
 
'we' being...... ? 'Barry'.... 'Rob'..... secrecy? :icon_lol:

At FSAddon I like to give credit to the actual designers and beta testers, so they are always prominently mentioned. And I also like for my customers to know WHO they really bought a product from, 'me' just being the project manager/investor and/or middleman. Hence the question.
 
Developed by Barry and his team at Aeroplane Heaven, with FDE assistance from Rob, I imagine :salute:
 
I brought last night, had a very quick flight in it, seems OK... One thing i had with the nossel possition is its very hard to get right with my X52 axis assigned to the prop pitch, alot of moving very slightly to move a few degrees on the pop up gauge... Will do a more in depth flight at some point soon!

Well all the credits are in the manual and in the specs but...

Publisher Wilco Publishing

Models, textures, etc. Aeroplane Hreaven
VTOL programming and flight dynamics Rob Berendregt
Radar Programming Eric Marciano
Bespoke animation code and other gauge work Modular 9

So, the customers who have bought so far have bought it from Wilco Publishing, owner of the project.

The rest of us don't really care too much about credit. (Cash preferred! :ernae::eek:
 
LOL.... cash too ..... :icon_lol:

But it helps at least part of the - potential - customers to know these things in order to decide.

Thanks mate :)
