I love the shading on the textures! It is looking great, but any word on if he has a working VTOL mode? Even without, it would be a great addon to have.

That does look sweet. Falklands Mod is going to be a nice addon.

Chomps,

IIRC the Falklands mod have a video of the Harrier showing just what you are asking about.

Yup, they have proofed that they can takeof it vertically... but... I think that the problem they are working on now is to land vertically too :] As I remember, there was no landing in movie, so I assumed that probably they are having problems with this part, what is clearly understandable - while takeoff, they made something that pushes plane up - as I understand. And then, they try to fly forward... but to land, they have to stop machine in air, and then pull the plane down, wich is very, very hard to do as I think...

So, overall, altough it seems to be almoust finished, we could wait for a long time till this little flying can will be able to land same as it did with take-off...

i have a VTOL script... with it u can take off, land, fly to correct speed to set to normal mode... very sweet! biggrin.gif i even used the script for a car.... very funny.... only prob with it is then if u exit the vehicle it will stay where it is... forever even when destoryed it will still be there... i think it the the same script they are using for the harrier... enless they have updated it...

Yes I think it is the same script. I am doing extensive changes to it in regards to landing/abandoning and crashing. Also working on an auto land script which should allow the ai to land vertically on designated vtol pads (similar to the H pad).

What the harrier needs is a script that will allow hover similar to the helicopter hover. The biggest problem I see at the present time is slowing an aircraft from say 400kph to 0 to land. But I guess with a bit of work anything is possible. Apart from that normal takeoff and landing is done along with conventional autopilot landing. Pitch and roll cannot AFAIK be implemnted using scripts.

I love the attention to detail, looks like they even animated

the little inlets around the fan intake. I've also tried VTOL

scripts, and I found that it is just as easy to take off as it

is to land smile.gif

Excellent details! This is how all addon models should be like!

Hey Col,

If you want to get in touch via the BAS board for this let me know, I may be able to assist you with that.
