Not testing the sound, still remember these RW at 2 am in OIF doing high power engine turns right next to our medevac ops area!

Hi. Please post your bugs/issues here: http://www.razbamsims.com/forums/vie...php?f=24&t=280

The Gr.7/9 will become our Mk-3 so it will be not only to this standard, but it will surpass it.

You might want to check the installer default path on a Win 7 64bit M/C. First time I tried without checking it seemed to put it something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\"... i.e seemed to double up on the path. No biggy... uninstalled and manually chose path which got round it but just in case anyone else experience the same thought I'd report it.

Thanks. I will check.

Hi thanks for your reply, will this be a seperatepurchase/product or a free/paid upgrade to this product?

Thanks for the reply on the rocket pods

The Gr. 7/9 will be a separate volume in the Harrier series, so it will be a new purchase. The previous volumes (actually just the current one) will be upgraded for free to the same standard.

Brief flight with conventional take off to 8000'. Moved nozzles slowly and increased power to a hover. Expected to fall out of the sky but nope. Got a slow descent and a wobble here and there. Managed to get back to flying mode without hitting the water. Fun!

Awesome aircraft! Well done everyone at RAZBAM!

**ZEUS67** · August 20th, 2012, 07:36

Just a heads-up. In order to fire the ordnance you must configure your joystick button #1 to the "Cabin alert - Seat Belts On/Off" event.

you better look more carefully, though maybe hard to see, it does have the registration M.M. 7217, the first M is hidden in the shadow area :salute:

Cheers,
Hank

I'm glad that you are enjoying it. Please remember to watch your weight when trying to do VTOL. A too heavy aircraft will not remain aloof for very long.

Ok thats the answer i was looking for, guess the Gr 7/9 is at the far end of the product line or close to release?

No, I was checking within FSX, you were right Tammy! In fact the M. is there but largely hidden by the elevator mechanism. Will fix that by moving it a bit further forward.
Thank for attending me on that one :salute:

Cheers,
Hank

It will be the second volume in the series.

**JIMJAM** · August 20th, 2012, 08:03

My computers have never liked detailed HUDS or displays. Using the 2 F-15s released in the last year as baselines, how is your performance with the Harrier? Btw I Run Accel/Visa 64.

**Barnes** · August 20th, 2012, 08:08

Im hoping to do some repaints but cant find the paint kit - has anyone seen one?

**hae5904** · August 20th, 2012, 08:14

Barnes, it is located in the main FSX folder under RAZBAM, subfolder Paint kit. There you'll find a zip file named RAZBAM HARRIER paintkit. :salute:

Cheers,
Hank

For this installation, it should have been installed in your My Documents folder. There is a RAZBAM folder there, check it out. You also have a RAZBAM Start Menu item, it will show you the short-cuts for both the manual and the paint-kit.

I made the switch because I think it is far easier to navigate into the My Documents folder than go all the way into the FSX main folder. The star menu item will also help you.

**Barnes** · August 20th, 2012, 08:25

Great thanks :salute:

**Barnes** · August 20th, 2012, 22:36

Im finding my way around the paint kit and made a start on this one. so much to do..

**andrea6811** · August 21st, 2012, 03:03

No way to load/unload fuel with the fuel loadout manager, also no way to load armament . Ground map cause heavy stutters for me .

Any idea?

Andrea

NB: posted here cause no reply with Razbam mk1 forum bug report registration and it's not possible to reply there.

I haven't seen a loadout manager issue in the Mk-1 bug report. It only works when the engine is off and the parking brakes are set. As for the ground map causing FPS issues, that only happens when you use both the map and the radar at the same time. I'm trying to look for a solution but so far I've been unsuccessful. My advice for the time being is don't run both options at the same time.
