DCS AV-8B NA Harrier Controls, Cockpit Tutorial 

Yes, that would be correct, got myself mixed up with the 'Smart standby' as it's called in the manual. Not actually used the ecm yet.

So helpful, thank you.

Thanks Jackobite! glad to hear you've found it useful, I wished i had something like this when i first learned the A-10c so i'd made a point of covering it when i started these tutorials!

Thank you!

Lol... same.

Might be being dumb myself, or just a British vs American thing.

@@RedKiteRender Cheers . I'm a Brit as well - I think it's like ' a-nunn-see-eight-or ' - iirc they are sometimes called Caution & Warning Panels . I only know this from reading about the Apollo spaceships.

You need to cylce the pages with [ and ], try pressing ] a couple times and you should find them.

Hmmm all I could find where the original pages and not your ones. I'll see if it's possible to delete the original kneepad pages. Thanks for responding. Looking forward to your future videos!

That's a shame, re-check you put them in the correct location, you don't need to delete the original kneepads, i can't test it myself at the moment sadly, my pc has died.

Sadly i dont have the time to cover every module, i've improved on the cockpit/controls format in my hornet video, if you're interested in the hornet.

I'll def check it out. Keep up the good work ! you're doing great

Q-feel effects how the joystick 'feels' it's basically a form of force feedback. RPS/yaw is the Rudder pedal shaker, which is a warning system to tell the pilot when the aircraft has too much lateral movement when in vtol i believe, neither are practical to model in the simulation given the wide range of controls we have.

On the list to do one day. I honestly can't afford to spend the time doing these videos as much as i'd like.

@@RedKiteRenderUnderstand Sir. Thank you

L-alt C to toggle mouse camera control or numpad arrows

Thank you RedKite. This solved the problem. Now I'm having problems flying straight. The nose is constantly falling.

Probably does, but it's heavier than air, so it will fall eventually, just over a wide area.

I use the warthog hotas with a 10cm extension on it, along with Track ir but i also use a vive.

Thanks for your reply and many thanks

Yes, You can technically play with a keyboard, but honestly it's not worth it. Precision flying is very difficult that way. Buy yourself a joystick, i recommend starting with a thrustmaster t1600m hotas, or a thrustmaster t-flight hotas if you're on a tight budget.

I have a 12 button joystick, but no TrackIR. Do you think it's still worth trying the Harrier? I've been flying the SU-25T that's included in the base game and I haven't had trouble, but I don't know if a clickable cockpit would be too much to manage without TrackIR.

The Harrier does use more buttons, ideally you'l want to use modifiers to double up the use of what im assuming is your single hat switch. i think you'l be able to get by, if not it's a great excuse to save up for something like the T1600m :) Once in the air the cockpit clicking generally isn't needed in a hurry, you can toggle between mouse look and click modes with Lalt-C. The TF-51 is available for free in dcsw (trainer version of the ww2 p-51) if you want to see how a clickable cockpit feels.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll try out the TF-51 a bit and see how I like it.

Is this the one you reccomend? www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-T-16000M-Flight-Joystick-Throttle/dp/B01HZ2APKU/ref=sr_1_11?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1516301795&sr=1-11&keywords=thrustmaster

All clickable cockpits use the yellow pointer to select switches. To move the camera, toggle mouse look with left alt C. You can also use the pov hat or numpad to control the view.

Thanks man it worked. I'm waiting for the rift. Hopefully by that time I can assign keys to my Saitek x52. That seems challenging already.

left alt+C or doubleclick the mouse middle button (might require one additional click because sometimes the mouse gets stuck in lateral axis mode). Though I don't reccomend you use mouse for looking around. An update eons ago made the mouselook jittery. Either use pov hat controls or the numpad.

it's probably a very stiff button in reality, im impressed you're managing to press it by mistake on the a-10c given how far away from everything else it is.

yeah im impressed aswell.

yes. that's H2O and it's used to bring the JPT (jet pipe temperature) down. when the aircraft systems detect the water is being injected, it will allow you more headroom for more thrust.

Yeah the mission is compatible.

RedKite ta

Have you insured the engine GEN switch is on? (near the battery)

yeah it turns out me being a DCS noob I had it flipped to Aux Great video btw

Largely it should still be valid, with the exception of the ILS and targeting pod which has changed a lot since the module released, some things will be different like the NAVFLIR rendering in green, rather than greyscale in video, and some new features won't be covered (like VREST), but should hold true otherwise. Unfortunately I've not had the time to revisit the harrier and the quality of my videos has also greatly improved since these, being my very first series. I don't have any recommendations other than Chuck's guide off the top of my head, but take a look at smaller channels rather than large ones for quality more recent tutorials.

@@RedKiteRender I see, thanks! Also your F1 tutorial helped me immensely to learn the module very efficiently and in a relatively short time. Keep up the good work.

Nose wheel? You need to set the anti skid to nws, or hold the nose wheel steering button ( pinky switch on the joystick) and then use the rudder

czesiek77PL its because it’s in early access eventually everything will be usable
