Harrier

How do I get the Harrier to land Vertically. It seems OK in FSX but not in P3D v4

What Harrier are you asking about?

[Nighthawk117]

in order to go VTOL in my harrier full flaps need to be applied. that will swivel the vectored exhaust toward the ground

Harrier 2. It lands & takes off ok in FSX but not in P3D. I cannot get its speed bellow about 45knts.

Hi

1st if it will show up in P3D4 then it must be a FSX native model. Not sure of a Harrier II?

Can you please tell us what exact model you are referring to? The only FSX native Harrier I know of it this

r 2 is the best I can do. Everything works fine in P3D except the VTOL.

The bottom thrust duct has a position forward of the vertical. When you move the duct too fast you can sometimes pass the vertical position and the aircraft will back up. Only answer I can think of for your problem.

Good Luck,

Jim

Where did you get this Harrier? Payware or free download?

[jphespe]

Freeware on SimV.

Because whatever Harrier package you have (other then the payware SSW Harrier), is missing a 64-bit version of the gauge that interacts with SimConnect (needed to make your Harrier perform true VTOL)

Mr Rob Barendregt. Thank you for your ground breaking files!

Can we get a 64bit version of this and put it into an existing FSX/P3D file? For example the UKMil Harrier, rcb-gauges folder?

I just downloaded this FSX UKMIL Harrier package from Simviation (see link in previous post), but I'm afraid there is a lot more to it to have this UKMIL Harrier working properly in P3Dv4.

Not just the VTOL gauge needs a 64-bit compiled version, but ALL other .gau and .dll files in the panel folder.

Some of which I have, some I don;t have (e.g. instrument gauges, like f16.gau and M4000.gau).

So even if you can get it to do true VTOL (which is simple gauge exchange), there's still a lot of other things that won't work.
Sorry, I don't have the time now to dig into this further, because replacing some of these other gauges even require other code changes then simply replacing the 32-bit version with a 64-bit alternative.

Thank you sir.

I may try tinkering with the panel gauges (replacing them) myself now that I know 64bit versions may make the whole thing compatible with v4.

XML and CAB gauges = 64bit?

No. Just pre-compiled (C/C++) gauges like .dll and .gau.
