Course a quick stop at foxpine field

It's certainly an interesting aircraft and quite a well-made add-on in fact. It is surprising that it hasn't really sold many copies (at least through us here). I thought it would have been much more popular given that we havent had a good harrier for a long time, and this one is quite a good effort. Perhaps it just hasn't had the exposure of certain other products. Who knows.

Maybe a Saitek/Wilco package deal ... using the quadrant with correct fuel loading is such a breeze , course rudder pedals for the extra experience , trust me i no cool.gif

i do like the harrier... i do see that Razbam are currently working on an AV-8B+ harrier... should be available in about a month or so, they apparently have sorted a gauge that will allow a true hover in the harrier with zero forward airspeed, and of course it will have the load out management system and releasable weapons in free flight

FSX . ... 'releasable weapons in free flight' big discussion on that for a combat sim but won't happen here any time shortly ...least to destroy targets .

That is very true, i currently fly the RAZBAM Convair F/A 201 and its fun to load up with air to ground and go drop some shacks.. just wish the explosions would happen.. though there is discussions that there will be some missions being developed for the harrier
