AV-8B Plus Harrier Marina Militare
This is the AV-8B Plus Harrier in service with the Italian navy.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
Skin is in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
All serials are correct for the Italian version of Harrier II.
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
************************************************************************************
You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline
AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6.
ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
If you have yakarov79´s AV-8B Harrier already - some files are same so simply overwrite.

AV-8B Harrier II Plus / Radar
This is my humble rework of old AV-8B.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
Around 3 years ago - January 2016 - KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier, and preparing Night Attack version. After some time, we had file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected a few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016.
So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
So now I am here...My standard AV-8B Harrier is already available for download same as Night Attack model. Both models recently updated,
New cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
First of all...If you want to count rivets...Do not.
Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. Generally, it is just a few skins. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
Skins and decals are made to match most of the skins from Night Attack model pack. All VMA squadrons are equipped with a mix of both NA and radar model.
Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really.
Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload.
For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini.
AIM-120 is specific for AV-8B via specific station code. To have proper year of apearance.
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
************************************************************************************
You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. Nut in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28.
AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6.
There are two stations for Intrepid Tiger II pod. In future.
ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
If you have my AV-8B Harrier already - some files are same so simply overwrite.
