Harrier GR.3 revisionary sight

[+dtmdragon 2,704]

The RAF Harriers GR.3 that operated in the Falklands conflict had major issues with getting thier Inertial Navigation Systems to align and as a result their navigation and attack systems would not function correctly. More often than not they had to fly their missions by compass, stopwatch and a map. And just the back up manual aiming system displayed on the HUD. They called it the revisionary sight and it is fixed but the horizontal arm of the cross could be manually depressed. This information can be found in books written by RAF GR.3 pilots about the conflict. I have recreated that here from my research on what it looked like. It makes using the GR.3 in the game much more challenging as without the CCIP on the HUD you have to manually dive bomb with the fixed revisionary sight. I have set it up so the horizontal arm of the cross will depress automatically based on the selected weapon. The position is based on the tactical dive bomb profile that needs to be used. There is also no moving map without the Nav/ Attack system.

HUD Nav mode: Basic flight data and no navigation/ waypoint/ heading information.

 

HUD Air-to-Air mode: De-cluttered with fixed revisionary sight only.

 

HUD Air-to-Ground mode: Basic flight data and fixed revisionary sight only with horizontal arm adjusted based on selected weapon.

 

No moving map at all.
