WIP:AV-8B
-
Wow, really nice surprise popped up under the radar, really looking forward for this one!
Kinda off topic but will it be possible to control the nozzles?

I hate you Qawa…:evil: …

The real av8-b have radar A/A ?

It has to because you can see AIM-120 on HPs occaisonally. The better qestion since when?

And a nice FLCS to go with

Will AI be able to perform VTOL?
-
-
Does this men that AI use different FM for F-16 than players?
-
Probably not Molni… but the code now is written to manage the airplane with conventional engine thrust… This is something new and different… So for AI to use it correctly Code must be written…
As I see it and feel it … it’s done just for human use. -

Do you ever read the documentation available??
AI and human fly different FM. However as far as 2D performance is concerned, which means turn rate / turn radius / accel decel / energy bleeding both FM are the same
AI could fly AFM i think, i would need to test it deeper, however as a primiry approach and for safety reasons it was more reason able to make both FM Co exist.
Anyway for AI to fly AFM is useless, it will not change at all their performance

Maybe a near future?
-
Just WOW :0……
Great work guys, to all involved!

The AV-8B uses the APG-65/73, the same radar as the legacy (A/B/C/D model) F/A-18 Hornets. I know because I repaired them when I was in the service.

I love that video JP!

The AV-8B in the thread at present shouldn’t have radar, because it’s the Night Attack Harrier, which only has optical sensors in the nose. That’s kind of why I brought up the radar nose, which many AV-8B’s have been upgraded to have (hence AV-8B+). The FM is or should be quite similar for both Harriers, though the avionics should be different. I think it would be cool to have a version of the original AV-8B, which unless I’m mistaken, had only one MFD:

Such an AV-8 would also not have the optical sensor bulge on the nose, so it would look very much the same as the model initially did in this thread.

Me too! I would love to have this FM available. I think it is possible to set squadron to not generate ATO flights/packages. It would be great for human flights. Dreaming about modified (slowed down) version of it for human helis as well. I operate 4 ship Ka-29 squad from Ivan Rogov LPD….wow!

This FM is based on control of thrust and exhaust angles, not at all applicable for a rotor

Actually, I’m not so sure of that. I don’t know much about helo operation, but I am fairly certain that main rotor RPM is intended to stay within certain limits, while pitch on the collective is variable, and may possibly be likened to operating the throttle on a conventional aircraft (in very, VERY abstract respects). Meanwhile, movement on the stick, or cyclic, changes the angle of attack of the rotor blade, thus changing its thrust vector. You might be able to mimic a helicopter to some degree with the existing FM, or be able to tweak it a bit more to make something work.
…Although, if you’re aiming for realism… that might not quite be the most effective option.
