Man I bought the Harrier about 3 years ago, decided it was annoying and then stopped trying to use it.. After learning the F-18, suddenly the Harrier is my new favorite module. Both are SO MUCH different than the F-16, which is "my module." Thanks for the info dude.
Thx for this, T. The Harrier has been one of the most convoluted planes to operate, I’ve found. Probably just my stupidity, but it seems the sensors etc are the least intuitive in a stable of unintuitive 80s style computer interfaces on DCS 4th-gen planes and watching this for the 3rd or 4th time (with a bunch of head scratching flights in between) has finally brought some of it into focus. And as much as I love the US Marines and historical accuracy, I really enjoy RAF or RAN colours on a Harrier. It just feels right to someone who remembers the Falklands War. :D.
Just had an attempt at a mission in the Kerman Campaign by Ground Pounder Sims and managed to get the GBU 12 away after many active pauses while reading the chucks guide! Unfortunately the bomb did not hit my target and I now realise I ether didn’t set up the laser code correctly or I didn’t arm the laser after it was dropped! Wish I watched this refresher first but thanks for the tutorial it will surely help me nail the target next time
Hey Tricker, I am absolutely thankful for your videos. This in addition to Chuck‘s Guides is the most fun way for me to master aircrafts in DCS! Btw still hoping for a LJDAM tutorial for the Harrier ;)
I have actually gotten my head around the sensor select and the tgp mechanics in the Harrier recently, after months of frustration. And it's very intuitive. It also has navflir, which I didn't realise.
man, i love the harrier, but when I first trained in it, and the state its in now... its like night and day. I have to go back through all the tutorials again. i've been waiting to do so until it stabilizes. any idea if they are going to be making any sweeping changes again any time soon?
I am having some problems with the bomb tracking even though the laser was armed and locked onto a target. I did everything and for some reason acts dumb. Could you help me on this.
Sir, I'm curious how long ago this was recorded compared to posted. It seems you can no long mount two GBU-12s like you have. It was a moment of confusion when I tried setting up a version of this for practice in the editor.
Have they changed it again? I cant find the "12" on the ehsd screen, only on the stores and dmt screens, and when I do theres no option to "designate." If I just ignore that step there is no option for laser on the targeting pod screen.
Never mind, I'm stupid. I still had ins ground align on, I forgot to change it to nav mode. Also I suspect I saw "trng" and didn't realise I had to click on it to make it say laser.
Hey I have a question, not related to this video but I was wonder how you got your gun to sound like this in this video: ruclips.net/video/Bj8Ta-WS_Fo/видео.html sorry for it not being related to this video but I haven't been able to figure it out

Tricker, thank you for doing these little refresher videos. They are a huge help when I am away from these plane for awhile.

I mean seriously, the Harrier isn't the most "integrated" jet, but it has conveniences I wish every other module had!

Harrier is such a beautiful aircraft to just watch, great video!
Love your videos, always clear and concise. Also great thumbnails!
Perfect, great stuff as always, Tricker!
Another excellent video, Tricker, kudos to you. I'll certainly give it a go when next I fly my AV8B.
Best video yet 🎉. You’re the awesomest
Another great tricker Harrier video

Flashbacks to the Baltic Dragon Harrier campaign, it was great hearing you as one of the wingmen.
Didn t know about this campaign. Where can I find it?
Nice job as always...off to try it out now!

This has been the most stable it’s been in awhile
@@TrickerDCS Roger that, I guess I'll try to unlearn the old workflow this weekend.. Muscle memory is a PITA some times :p
Nice one Yarr !

What is the hotas command for laser?
No HOTAS command, it’s actually the middle OSB button I have bound where “Fire” is located
I map this (and TGP zoom MFD buttons) to my TMS since I have the Warthog stick and the Harrier/Hornet stick has one less hat.
Right OSB 8

Can you use a JTAC laser for theses or is JTAC just for Mavericks ? as tried with the GBU54 with no joy as well
Fire the laser AFTER bomb release?
