    Brilliant, the perfect example of both how to fly the Harrier and of how much fun this sort of flying can be in MSFS! :)

    Another much enjoyed video. I don’t actually have MSFS or DCS, think X-Plane v1.0 was my last PC sim, but really enjoy the expert commentary and explanation from a general interest in aviation perspective. Having said that, those graphics on MSFS are certainly tempting enough to remortgage the house for a powerful enough PC….🤔.

    The GR7 is missing a pylon under each wing. You don't see the IRL on AV8Bs but you did on GR7/9. I know it must sound a bit anal but I'm holding off until they fix it.

    • @cgaviator

    Does the flight model differ from the one in DCS for this aircraft? I really enjoy flying the AV-8B in DCS but those stol/vtol landings are pretty hard to nail.

    • @cgaviator
      @cgaviator  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just, big difference especially in the hover. The MSFS version is a lot simpler and benign (in most cases).

  • @monostripezebras

      This version is simpler and you can fly it anywhere in the world. I want to give MSFS users some mission ideas in their new purchases. While I'm also practicing AV8B in DCS, I do enjoy the more relaxed approach (and scenery) of MSFS.

  • @Christian-45ACP
    @Christian-45ACP ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Outstanding graphics, man! And a small error: strafing with the gun-pod in the AV-8B doesn’t work the way you did it. The harrier hasn’t got a built-in gun. The external pod is propelled by bleed-air from the jet-engine. In idle Position the gun just won’t go off, so you have to increase throttle - even if you bank downwards. 😂. But hey, again: Outstanding clip. 👍

    • @cgaviator

      Good grief that’s good knowledge! I was aware that the gun was pod mounted.

      I’m using both sims back to back at present and I have to admit DCS can look ok with the sun and clouds set just right.

Oh, and the DCS AB8B whilst old, still looks incredible inside and out
