BAe Harrier GR.7 AI friendly

34.5k GhostHTX  7.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on GhostHTX's Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3

Here is one the AI can fly. Note, the AI will fly this as a conventional aeroplane. The STOVL / VTOL features are in effect, turned off. Bloody dangerous dogfighter, though.

To fly this yourself, turn on AG1 to activate the VTOL stability system. Then set VTOL full up to rotate the vectoring nozzles down. This will allow you to use the VTOL feature.

To transition to normal flight, set VTOL to neutral and turn off AG1.

Other then this, all other controls are as the GR.7 V2 (oh, other than that the cannon are no longer armed with AG3 - they are ALWAYS armed - so don't forget to retract the landing gear or you will make landing again quite a challenge...)

For those who know their stuff - yes, yes, I know the GR.7 couldn't field AMRAAM. I also know that the GR.9 couldn't field both AMRAAM and AIM9 together - only the AV-8B Harrier II + of the USN / USMC can do this. I just wanted to give the AI a fair chance...

    @gareth1234 Mr Pie was asking Mr Garrison (fine gent that he is) to make this one of the four featured thingies at the top of the SimplePlanes home page. I like this idea. But then again I am biased...
