Capable of vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL), the aircraft was designed in the late 1970s as an Anglo-American development of the British Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the first operational V/STOL aircraft. Named after a bird of prey, it is primarily employed on light attack or multi-role missions, ranging from close air support of ground troops to armed reconnaissance. The AV-8B is used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC), the Spanish Navy, and the Italian Navy. A variant of the AV-8B, the British Aerospace Harrier II, was developed for the British military, while another, the TAV-8B, is a dedicated two-seat trainer. Typically operated from small aircraft carriers, large amphibious assault ships and simple forward operating bases, AV-8Bs have participated in numerous military and humanitarian operations, proving themselves versatile assets. U.S. Army General Norman Schwarzkopf named the USMC Harrier II as one of several important weapons in the Gulf War. The aircraft took part in combat during the Iraq War beginning in 2003. The Harrier II has served in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan since 2001, and was used in Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya in 2011. Italian and Spanish Harrier IIs have taken part in overseas conflicts in conjunction with NATO coalitions. During its service history, the AV-8B has had a high accident rate, related to the percentage of time spent in critical take-off and landing phases. USMC and Italian Navy AV-8Bs are to be replaced by the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II, with the former expected to operate its Harriers until 2025.

thefloatingcheese 3 Posted January 7, 2018 Awesome! Great to see a standalone Harrier, and with massive detail as always from yourself! Only thing I would recommend is to adjust the performance of the aircraft slightly, the low speed forward thrust and turning capabilities are a little too good at the moment I think, performs great at high speeds though!

SnakeDocc 72 Posted January 8, 2018 Awesome work man, only thing I've found is its hard to pull of a vertical take-off because you cant adjust the nozzles with 0% throttle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maximum useful load (include fuel, stores, weapons, ammunition and water injection for engine) Vertical takeoff : Approximately 3,062 kg STO : More than 7,710 kg so mostly harrier use the STO(short take off) on operation, specially when armed. in game, arma 3 supported several vtol types such as vtol = 0; // A-164 Wipeout, not a VTOL aircraft vtol = 1; // F-35B, Vertical Take Off and Landing, Start horizontal (nozzles/nacelles @ 0°) vtol = 2; // AV-8B Harrier, Short Take Off/Vertical Landing vtol = 3; // V-44 Blackfish, VTOL using a vectoring near the ground (to avoid blades collision with ground) vtol = 4; // Y-32 Xi'an, Vertical Take Off and Landing, Start vertical (nozzles/nacelles @ 90°) 2 - STOVL, vectoring limitation on slow speed default 1.0 vectoring (nozzles/nacelles horizontal @ 0°) limited 0.0 maximum vectoring (nozzles/nacelles horizontal @ 0°) below 5 km/h like i said above, take off is STO for harrier so i choose the no.2 for Vtol setting. that's why you can't simply doing the vertical take-off. it's natural. not a bug or something. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
road runner 4344 Posted January 8, 2018 These look pretty cool, fixed wings in A3 isn't my thing, the skins could do with a bit of "weathering" though, they look too pristine to me.. nice addition though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beckerman 0 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Great mod! Thank you! However there are some issues i have noticed yesterday: 1) No engine sound 2) In the loadout menu, the current load out slots appear empty (do not see the current loadout), and if i change only 1 pilon the result after rearming is all other pilons will be empty. The only solution is to reselect all pilons which is quite time consuming. Maybe this is done on purpose? 3) Before entering the aircraft, in Arma´s quick selection menu the options to deploy mirrors and panel lights appear. I believe these should be available only once sitting in the cockpit? 4) Deceleration on the aircraft is really, really long, as if you had a really strong inertia, even in a dirty configuration. Maybe this could be tweaked a little? Loosing speed without gaining altitude without flaps deployed is hardly achievable. Speaking as a RL commercial pilot. Thank you very much for your great job!

AtomicBoy 33 Posted January 17, 2018 Hello everybody: How to take off from LHD wasp with an av-8b + from IA: put a name to the av-8b, for example avion. 1.- change in the config of the av-8b + the variable VTOL of vtol = 2; to vtol = 4; that way it takes off in vertical mode. 2.- select addon CUP LHD mod andd put in the map. 3.- select a av-8a + in the Stern of the LHD, in the area of white lines. It must be aligned with the yellow line. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 4.- put a WAYPOINT of movement from the plane to the objective 5.- fly how to land in LHD 1.- put a deck from LHD invisible helipad 2.- Conect with av-8b +, put a WAYPOINT "download transport" in the position of invisible helipad 3.- in the waypont in condition, write: avion land "LAND"; BR Atomicboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
