Bel Geode showing the Harrier some love!

Happy Veterans Day to all, and yesterday Happy 240th Birthday to the USMC!
Today I decided to put out a first look at the Harrier (well first for ME). This was spurred on by a thread talking about the lack of startup checklists. I was able to find one (by Zippo and Daisan), and it helped me immensely. Up till yesterday I was just floundering around with the VTOL queen.
I still have a ways to go with it, but I think you might like how my first outing turned out. (spoiler alert: I DID NOT crash!)
Arranged in two parts. Part one is the ramp start tutorial I am contributing to the community…
And Part 2- the rest of the BARCAP flight test, where I waffle on about how much I love the sim, and spout some quick facts about the Harrier I found out… THEN, attempt to land vertically!

Finally! I’ve been waiting for people to pick up the Harrier. I’ve been enjoying it personally – hopefully the bouncing glitch will be fixed soon.

It is such an awesome aircraft. I am wondering if there are any squads forming just to do Harrier missions?

landing vertically in normal cocpkit view is much easier than in external
you lack many visual indicators in ext view

Guess I wanted the challenge? LOL. I will definitely keep practicing from inside the cockpit. I imagine it is a fair bit easier than having to rotate the camera around outside.

I’m definitely willing to in the future if anyone is interested. I am very new to BMS (I have previous experience in ArmA groups however). Once I get an X52/Pro and set up my DIY TrackIR I’d totally try something.

The sound of the engine spooling down to idle after touchdown is glorious.

I agree with you, the whole thing just sounds sexy to me.
