Wedge Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Is this possible to do in WOE? I looked in the manual and it gave no reference to Harrier operations in fact my pdf manual references WOV. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote
Sky Captain Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 From what I hear it's only possible with an incredulous knowledge of the force, and the ability to use it with Yoda-like precision, coupled with an exact series of button-mashing and window-breaking-with-$150-HOTAS's, and topped off with eating cookies and drinking OJ WITHOUT! dropping a single one of the crayons stacked on your head. You also absolutely cannot so much as peek at the actress of your choosing sitting on the couch-which-appeared-out-of-nowhere. Or, you could just carefully time moving the throttle forwards and tapping the thrust control keys. Personally, I prefer the former method. Bottomline, it's really really really really really hard. (If the WoV Harrier mods are anything like Wings Over Europe's Harriers) Quote
Wedge Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks! I figured it out. This will take some practice. I was able to map the Thrust controls to my throttle. Quote
Jarink Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I just ran a mission using the AV-8C add-on and was able to VTO with no problems other than a few wobbles. You may need to watch your loaded weight, as heavier loads will make it very difficult. I did it at only 90% throttle, but I had only a middling load of 6 Rockeyes and 2 AIM-9Ls. I just realized that what you're probably asking after is how to rotate the nozzles down. Check your keyboard mappings; I have SFP1 and have the nozzle controls mapped to the += and _- keys (next to Backspace). I don't know if that's the default mapping for WoE, though. Quote
Wedge Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Yes, I mapped the nozzles up/down to my throttle. I can take off ok with a very short runway, which I usderstand that is what it is like in real life - meaning in RL you cant take off going straight up like a helo. When trying to land it is a whole different story. I wobble all over the place trying to make a vertical landing. Quote
+Paladrian Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) You can take off vertically! wanna se? well... A video showing how to land would be much longer though Huh? WTH is my attachment!? ???? And why my replies are added to my original post? did I broke something Edited July 27, 2006 by Paladrian Quote
Jarink Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 You can take off vertically! wanna se? well... A short, wobbly vertical takeoff in the AV-8C... VTO video Quote
+kreelin Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 You can take a look a this little vid (little it old now..) AV-8C in WOE Quote
+kreelin Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 And this is another training video with teh SeaHarrier FRS1 SHAR FRS1 somewhere near Falklands ;) Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 That is some Sierra Hotel Viff'ing Kreelin! Quote
Agamemnon Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I tried to replicate it and ended up sucking water Quote
+kreelin Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I tried to replicate it and ended up sucking water Well it just need a little training... And of course you have to do everything very gently Quote
