Wilco Harrier (Download version released!)

Chris Sykes said:
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!

Hi Chris,

Once you have the nozzle lever in the position you want, "mark" it with the STO lever. That way you can compensate for any fluctuation in your stick controller and snap the nozzle lever to that position each time . It's not easy but then that's how it was designed.
 
I want to buy the Harrier, but I my as well wait for the updated version, could you let us know when that one becomes available Bazzer? That would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Ian.

Ah must have skipped that bit in the manual, as i had a quick read through then a quick flight... Is there an online manual as it might be handy for those who havent purchased to see what it looks like and to be prepared?

G'day Ian,

I believe the new version is available now.:engel016:
 
Bazzar,
I didn´t recieved any contact from wilco about the new version. It´s ok to redownload the complete package again, or it´s a patch that i´m not findind in harrier´s page???

Thanks!
 
Francois actually made a very valid point. I have purchased this, but ONLY after a pretty difficult time of trying to find out who the devs were.

Reason being... Me, like many others, have had bad experiences with Wilco, and will only purchase from them if I know the devs and REALLY want their work.

10/10 though guys. I,m loving this. It's by far the best Harrier for FSX!

An example being... Just gone to my 'orders' page at Wilco, only to find my purchase not there. Meaning I can't get the update.
 
I would have thought, on a payware product, you could have coded the Aux doors better, than simply linking them to throttle position? This is unrealisitic, doing 400 knots, and the doors are wdie open, just because the throttles are maxed
 
mate, the harrier is excellent, but just some small observations thats all. Payware these days needs to stand out from the crowd with those little touches, and coding aux doors with XML to work as they should is not difficult
 
I'm liking the Harrier very much indeed... Congratulations to the Wilco team - a very nice product for a good price - and well done for responding to issues raised already!

I've assigned my X52 throttle slider to Prop Axis and VTOL stuff is managable with the gauge [shift + 6] visible. Having infinately variable nozzles is a bit weird though.

Otherwise superb :salute:

Is v10a the new version?

Is the new version called "HJJ FSX v10a" ? Or is it simply "HJJ FSX". There is two links in my order form. I've downloaded and installed the v10a... Did I get it right?

Thanks!

I'm not sure mate. Sorry to sound vague but we don't have anything t do with the release end of things at Wilco. I do know that they have the patch and I have been told that it is being incorporated in the latest download pack. ANyine who has downloaded in the last 24 shpould see the probe from the VC, if they have the upgrade pack.

There will be more improvements including the paiintkit coming in a day or two, so keep an eye out. Thanks for your interest, much appreciated.:engel016:

Thanks very much for the kind words.
Yes it takes a bit of getting used to but we decided to go with the adjustable nozzle control over presets so that anyone with a less than perfect stick could adjust. Rob's new system is quite delicate to adjust but very precise in what it does. I'm waiting for somebody to do a video of their first airshow Royal "bow":engel016:

Hi Dave,
If you're used to all Harrier addons available since FS98 untill this one: yes, that may seem weird, since in all previous Harrier versions (as far as I know) nozzles were coupled to the FS (discrete) flaps function.
This, however, is how it works IRL. Sorry for the realisme :icon_lol:

BUt if you find it difficult to control the Nozzles precisely with an axis, try to use the keys as explained in the manual; or assign buttons on your stick that (repetitively) generates Proppitch Incr/Decr commands.

Alternatively, use the keys (or buttons) that generate Proppitch HighRPM and Proppitch LowRPM commands, which uses the "snap" function as explained in the manual. That way, you set the nozzles to any of 4 discrete postions:
- Min: 0 degrees rotation
- STO position (as set by the STO lever); default 50 degrees rotation.
- VTO position: 80 degrees rotation.
- Max: 98.5 degrees rotation.
Not as realistic, but easier and very precise ..

Hope that helps .....

Rob
