DCS "EASY PICKINGS" AV-8B HARRIER
ฝัง

- Taking out ground targets with the Harrier is probably one of the easiest that I've tried in DCS. Using the GBU-54 that gives you both laser guided and GPS guided. As well as using "The Way" that helps make waypoints 10x easier. It's definitely a powerful jet.

Gotta love the dual use of the gbu-54s. The harriers ability to ripple and hit a whole airfield worth of targets at once is always awe inspiring!
You got that right!
This was actually the reason I got the harrier in the first place but once updates to other modules came out I stopped playing the harrier but I definitely need to pick it up again
Thanks for the tip on that "The Way" tool. The Harrier is such a unique and rewarding aircraft to fly. It's like my ex-wife. You hate it and eventually once you figure out what's going on and start to love and enjoy it, it kills you.
🤨
wtf that's hilarious!
ahh yes, the well-known signature feature of the harrier; needing a "really long runway"
FWIW: A few decades ago I saw Harriers landing at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.
Even though I completely understand how they work, seeing a FIXED-WING AIRPLANE fly in a SLOW HOVER just messes with my head...😊
Hahaha I’m sure it does
I just found you while searching for Harrier guides.. but holy sh.. that app will change my life, thx for showing us!
Anytime
I’ve never seen your channel but I really liked how you put this video together. Definitely gonna be watching more. Also this is the first time I’ve thought about the Harrier. I love the A10 and F14 but feel like I have to choose between A to A or A to G sometimes. This module kinda has properties of both in one plane
I got the same feeling as well
Most times head to head, the other aircraft will shoot medium range before you can even get a sidewinder off in the sim.
Thank you for that video. That Addon to add in waypoints looks incredibly handy.
No prob! Enjoy it to the fullest
I found your channel in the morning, and I haven't stopped watching!!! It's great, I love the quality, I love the commentary, I love the realistics missions. Keep it up!!!
Glad you enjoyed it… keep and eye out for more!
New channel to me and I really enjoyed your style, commentary, and editing. Good job!
Thank you!
this content needs more attention, its so well made
Thank you. Sharing my vids always helps!
Awesome video. Cool to se you flying one of the most underrated modules, great work man. Catch you in the skies
I like the fact you include the mission set up and proccess from the beginning. Just found your channel. Good stuff
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Really solid video good footage and great commentary, and thanks for the plugin that's gonna be very helpful.
No prob! Thank you 😊
I was a 6212 av8b harrier engine mechanic the harrier doesn’t need a long run way or a ramp the USS Belleau Wood LHA 3 820ft no ramp they had no problem taking off ever in fact they took off around 400ft and 500 ft. Only time they had to back up to 650ft is if they had drop tanks with 8,000 lbs of fuel and bombs
HOLY SHIT that intro edit was cool, keep these vids coming man!
You got it! Thank you!
OMG. THE WAY mod is amazing!!! Thank you
NP glad to help!
Great video man! Loved the intro. I been learning how to fly the harrier recently, one of the more tuff to learn aircraft for me but I have already used the laser guided bombs and its very fun!
Nice! I'm a big fan of JDAM and love to release the bomb in a ripple. Really cool to see 10 targets get hit all at once!
yk the fa18 exists right
@@sacobred8400 it’s a myth 😏
Amazing! 10/10 with the production of your video! I subscribed! Great work! Keep it up! : )
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub! 👍
*** I've switch from the Hornet to the Harrier as my main platform - Great job. Harrier needs more over the wing vapes added.
It would be nice to see
Dear Sir, many thanks for the great video. Excellent music too ! Thank you for your passion and support. Kind regards, Nick
Thank you I’m really glad your enjoying my work!
Beautiful vid. Even tough I'm biased towards CAS, it's still beautiful
Wow I really love your videos, they are so well staged and use sweet intros. It's sad to see that they don't gert that much attention.
Just gotta give it time and keep sharing to the world!
That was cool, the harrier is such a badass aircraft! Nice to see the more nitty gritty parts like start up, would be nice with more explanations on what the dials and stuff do as you turn them. Anyways I will subsribe
Crazy good editing, subbed.
Thank you!!!!
next upcoming favourite dcs youtuber. Perfect content!
Great to hear!
I would love to see more Harrier videos!
A very good chance that I knew and served with your friend.
Thank you and that’s awesome if you did serve with my friend. I’m not going to share personal detail but other then that…. Thank you for your service!
Great Video! Keep up the good worl!
Will do!
great video dude!
Thank you!
First time seeing your channel, pretty cool content man! Subbed for more
That’s great! Welcome to the channel!
hyped for the FA18 vid! hope you do a mix of A/A and ground pounding!
Definitely, just need to keep leaning how the aircraft works.
Super quality as always 🔥
Great work dude, def going to watch more of your stuff. your graphics look good, what is your settings?
Thank you! My pc gear is in the description. I have most settings at max(2k) except for grass(low) and I use ReShade
On your point around starting the engine without starting the APU, its entirely possible to do from a procedure point of view. What I mean is, you can start the APU using the left most switch on the engine control console, once the APU is stable, you can then start the engine. You can also bypass this by just selecting Engine start. The switch has to be held for a few secs and will magnetically latch on in the engine start position. This will start the APU and immediately translate into an engine start, once the ECU reads that the APU is stable. I did this many times as a Harrier engineer. Perhaps the USMC always started the APU independently?
does it have any a/a because im looking at buying my first high fid plane and this one looks sick. one downside: i mainly do air to air combat..... (best dcs intro ive EVER seen btw it had me hysterical)
It only has sidewinders, and from my understanding it has a gun, but you can’t use it when the aircraft is pitch that a certain angle. I use this aircraft, mainly for ground targets, but if you want it all in one modern aircraft, I would suggest the F 16 or F 18
Be sure to use the free trials offered by DCS
Ay that's me!
Hello, loved the video and I can't wait for what's coming next! My only question is what flight setup do you use in terms of HOTAS, Headtracking, or any Flight Pedals?
Thank you! For my HOTAS setup I have the Virpil WarBRD Base, MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle, WarBRD Rudder Pedals and ALPHA-R joystick.... Very high end with a big price range but is required for my work. I started with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (highly recommend for beginners to intermediate). Then had a Logitech X52 Pro (had many issues with it and only used it for 6 months).
I use TrackIr5 (Probably number one item to get for flight sim games or VR)
Thank you so much. I will admit, it might be a bit out of my price range for a while, but I can keep it in mind. I currently own the X52 ( have for a few years now) but am considering upgrading just a bit
@@phantom_phlyer4 VKB seems to be a popular one for the price and below Virpil, I would say Winwing Orion 2
Overall. it's the most effective ground attack aircraft in DCS. Between the TPOD, 10 LJDAMs, APKWS.....and espeically FLIR Hotspots....it's a beast.
Wonder what squadron he was with? I was a Plane Captain with VMA-311. Love me some Harrier action. Well done.
super cool vid
Thank you!
Going to be installing The Way in the morning. Stay off Grayflag servers though. It's only 2 maps, and it takes forever to get to the frontlines and the players slaughter everything before you get there. It's great. Only 32 slots though so like I said, stay off. One of those slots is MINE.
Sorry to hear that. The only other server that I would say just is Hoggit server. If you go on their official website, you can actually see a live feed of where everyone is plus where the enemy targets are and what they are.
damn man, cool stuff ! How long have you been flying ? just getting into DCS, that learning curve lol
Probably a 1 1/2 years on DCS. I learn the main thing to get a video made and uploaded. There’s only 2 or 3 aircraft I know almost everything
When you dropped the 54s you dropped then bit early. That number is the percentage to hit. Better off dropping them at 80-100 to better handle averse wind etc.
Ive always loved the harrier but would it be possible to fly one effectively with just an x52 pro? Just concerned over button amounts. Love your vids!
TY!
I haven't flown in DCS for almost 4 full years however, I just built a new SMOKIN' PC system that will be more than enough to handle anything DCS has to throw at it either when using my new 165hz Monitor or my new HP Reverb G2 VR Headset. As such, I am just getting the last little bits and pieces and programs installed so that I can get back into flying again very soon i.e. within a week or two max.
I am super happy to have found this video because I have been humming and hawing about what to fly when I do get back in. The last thing I tried to fly was the Harrier. I was getting pretty good with the basics but the navigation was a pain and thus a deterrent for me to continue flying the Harrier. So finding this "THE WAY" software is a HUGE BONUS.
So thank you for the great video and the link to get The Way. I will most certainly be utilizing that fantastic software.
Too bad ED wouldn't have thought of such a thing.
PS> The value of this video warranted my subscription. Thank You.
That great to hear! Enjoy you PC setup to the fullest!
your game looks so good , are you using reshade ? thanks for the video
I am using ReShade, thank you
AFAIK you don't start the AV-8B "without" the APU, the engine starter switch simply starts the APU automatically and then the engine. The separate APU starter is for aircraft on alert, or tests etc. where you want power to prepare all the systems and only start the engine, when you need to scramble.
I was told that the battery had enough power to turn on the engine, idk who believe hahshs
5+ 👌👌
At 2:24, can anyone identify what ship that is? I'm having trouble with it, The best I can come up with is the Chilean Frigate Almirante Condell.
The harrier has a CAS page that can import points from the F10 map itself. Although it recently got changed which threw my workflow all out of whack which was a real pain. Certainly going to look at The Way for the F16 and 18 though!
The GBU54 is my favourite weapon in DCS, although I'm pretty sad the harrier keeps getting messed around with so regularly. Combined with other changes to DCS, especially with SAMs and the harrier is a lot less fun than it used to be, which is a real shame. I've got more hours in this than all the other planes in DCS combined.
Do you have any idea how to import the F10 maps waypoints to the CAS page after the change? I loved that feature so much!
@@danielfang749 th-cam.com/video/a0prBtGKGvM/w-d-xo.html
There's a tutorial here I keep going back to because I keep forgetting the format. It'll work for giving bomb targets but to see them on the HSI you need to hold down the "Next Waypoint" OSB for a few seconds and from practice getting between target and waypoint seems pretty janky and sometimes doesn't work (The main reason I hate the changes).
really like VTOL aircraft, wish there was more in DCS
True... F-35! LOL
Yak 41?
@@acidiccow.63 you mean Yak-141 right?
@@TimoZSimulations yea, I’m stupid lol
Those two buildings at 1:52...
how did you get DCSTheWay working? it only shows me "no connection to DCS" when trying to set a waypoint with the UI
What aircraft are you trying it on? Also make sure you read the instructions very carefully. I had some trouble at first to download it
Wow the quality on the intro I expected a way higher sub count
Thank you very much!
how do you learn planes so quickly. I feel like I have to watch a week worth of tutorials just figure out one plane
I it does take me a few weeks but I normally start with the basics.
Question, how did you manage to give the gbus separate targets, one to hit bmp and one to hit the 2 soldier without moving the tgp in between releasing them?
@@smoore8552 check out this link that shows you how to. th-cam.com/video/b0PD1Bj24Kc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JloJAcwjgcrOib4K
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING thanks that shit is insane
Is it rtb or rts for return to ship instead of base 🧐
Hmm good question… I would still say RTB cause everyone knows what you mean but RTS works too
I follow the instruction and there is no TheWay.exe file in the download. Where is this file located? Or do a short video on how to install it and get it to work.
The link in the description should bring you to the download page. Read the instructions, it was a bit tricky for me
What graphics mods do you use?
I only use ReShade on DCS with sharpen, vibrance, and contrast settings turned on
How does your DCS look so beautiful?😮 Using Reshade?
Yes I’m using ReShader!
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING which shaders are you using??
@@luizengrazia5169 Curves, DPX, Luma Sharpen and Vibrance
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING U're a GOD
planes are cool
Yes, yes that are
How did you mark the target?
I have it keybind to my hotas. I look at my target with the TPOD and the press “TOO” and then “ENTER”
Marines don’t use Blackhawk’s
After watching this video for the fourth time, I’ve decided to empty my wallet and buy the harrier. My wallet hates DCS Sales
Tell me about it.... Just a heads up, you can always do a 14-day free trial on most of the aircraft before buying them on DCS. I actually did it for the Harrier and made the vid before the trial was over, but I still bought it cause it's just so fun to fly!
Already have lol. And ur too late..
It's WAYpoiny. Not wavepoint.
so in the real aircraft it's necessary to turn on the apu?
No, APU is for powering stuff without engine. You're setting APU GEN on. The APU itself comes on on demand by either APU GEN or ENG ST. But not both at once so during start the APU GEN kicks off.
The Way doesn't work for VR ☹️
Oof I’m sorry to hear that 😞
get on SRS and you could talk to your impromptu wingman
You fucked your Engine at takeoff. You're not supposed to let the hexagon go all the was round the R or J
