DCS AV-8B HARRIER - PREVIEW

Pre-purchase from: www.digitalcom...
DCS: AV-8B N/A VTOL
By RAZBAM
The AV-8B project was born in the early 1970's as an effort to address the operational inadequacies of the AV-8A first generation Harrier, aimed to dramatically improve the capabilities and performance of the early AV-8A's. The AV-8B made its maiden flight in November 1981 and entered service with the United States Marine Corps in January 1985. It later evolved into the AV-8B N/A (Night Attack) and AV-8B Harrier II Plus.
First flight of a modified AV-8B in the night attack configuration was on June 26th, 1987. Deliveries to the USMC began in September of 1989 to VMA-214 at Yuma, Arizona. Follow-up units based out of Yuma received their Night Attack AV-8Bs by the end of 1992.The AV-8B N/A variant (originally known as the AV-8D) had its first operational development in 1984 and included use of the NAVFLIR (Navigation Forward-Looking Infrared camera, consisting of a GEC-Marconi FLIR system mounted in the nose) for night operations. Additionally, GEC Cat's Eyes night vision goggles were provided to the pilot as well as a revised cockpit with color MFDs, a wider field-of-view HUD display, a color CRT digital moving map, and a complete "heads-down" operation capability. The AV-8B N/A also sports four Tracor ALE-39 countermeasures dispensers along the top of the rear fuselage, in addition to two ALE-39 dispensers along the lower rear of the fuselage. The AV-8B N/A also fields an updated version of the Rolls-Royce Pegasus 11-61 (F402-RR-408) vectored-thrust turbofan engine.
The subject of this study level simulation is the AV-8B N/A Bu No's 163853 and up which are the latest variant of this very capable AV-8B version.

[@marconiandcheese7258]

The harrier isn't the only thing that just took off vertically

[@joelangley7974]

Yes but it was the best

[@Pvt_Wade]

@@joelangley7974 f35b

[@meinstein3]

bro fcked up

[@tomhocking5606]

Looks like they also featured the new explosion models too for 2.5

[@Ghost08151]

2.5 looking good, the light, explosion, clouds....and of course the Harrier, too.

[@riderofthemark6661]

We really need a dynamic campaign, too much potential not used properly. 2.5 looks awesome

[@danieldorn9989]

Mentioning dynamic campaigns on the forums is an instaban

[@leonc9915]

@Bill Pii not really, its actually your loss, you'd be the one benefitting from a dynamic campaign as a DCS player thankfully, ED devs made comments on dynamic campaign being developed but it will still take some time

[@thecrab2791]

After two years the harrier doesn’t even have a normal campaign :(

[@Hellreign82]

*heavy breathing*

[@AFOKHAOS]

Whoever your game capture artist and editor is I love the work they do. Really awesome camera work mixed with good music and superb editing. Also, HOLY SHIT A HARRIER.

[@GlowingAmraam]

Thanks, appreciated! :)

[@PALbub]

My wallet just took off vertically!

[@Red-Magic]

By far the best trailer for a DCS module to this point!

[@griphy]

Goosebumps anyone?

[@Citizen_Snips1]

I don't need it... I don't need it... I DON'T NEED IT... *I NEEED IIIT!!!*

[@kellerdominik7256]

What a nice peace of art CATO.

[@CheckSix]

Money! “Stumbled cant get wallet takes off pants” here!

[@AntoineThisdale]

AHAHAHAHAH

[@Chessbear78]

This one of my fav. Aircrafts in DCS. It´s so highly detailed that other publishers of aircrafts in dcs should make it so.

[@neo2264]

Another great video Cato Bye, excellent work!

[@belgeode]

Just in time for payday. Nice!!

[@MichaelBrodie68]

Wow! Talk about uncanny valley! Superb!

[@matthewmaclauchlan1671]

As development progressed, I always said it'd be a day-one purchase for me. Annnnnnnnnd it was. Can't wait until the end of November!

[@somting125]

Exciting - i’m sure the partnership between ED and Razbam will only lead to good things!

[@ThreeNineLine]

Oh My!!! Fantastic footage and editing. Razbam sure knows how to build amazing Digital Aircraft!!! Also: The new explosion-debris FX are looking Great! FINALLY!!!! Can't wait to see some more! Pre-purchase inbound!

[@gungriffen]

Just the Hornet and Tomcat left to make this year epic.

[@MarvinBoydCo]

That Harrier screech is fantastic....just take my money!

[@farizarachman5605]

They fix the explosions!!! :D

[@eraldorh]

This British beauty has got it going on.

[@Nikkuuu69]

RAZBAM HYPE!

[@JSJFly1986]

Excellent ! Preparing My "MAN CAVE" for VTOL Experience....

[@Sunesen]

Dem new particle effects.

[@ebn__]

Amazing trailer

[@TACCOFSX]

this is 100% on my 'will buy one day' list :D very well done!

[@SoltyII]

Thats how you make a trailer. Wow, nice. :)

[@bordeath]

Been waiting for this one, I haven't spend my money in any other add on because I need this bird first.

[@stavrogin023]

That‘s almost as good as the teaser for the Viggen. Nice!

[@cjmanson5692]

True Lies flashbacks intensify... =D

[@CaptianJoseph]

One thing I'm excited for the new Explosion Effects AND THE FA-18 THATS 2 THINGS!

[@langhammars]

Looks awesome, will buy for sure. Good job!

[@NubsCockpit]

done ! pre purchased =D

[@jared9191]

Love Razbam and AV-8B, but damn ED can we PLS get a relevant REDFOR plane also?

[@911kazanova]

Please do SU-30 or 35 !

[@jaakeeyy]

It takes years to develop these modules with the resources they have available, also much Information on these planes is classified so it probably wouldn't be possible, even if they would start developing it now you would need to wait about 3-4 years to fly it

[@maxmark122]

Brain User F/A-18, F-15, Su-27, AV-8B, F-14A and B, Su-33, A-10C, and plenty other aircraft are gen 4, an Su-30 would encounter the same problem as the Strile Eagle where the modelers would need to wait for ED to flesh out ground radars to complete the module.

[@mocoj7423]

I'm hopefully for an older variant of the Su-30, don't think we'll see a 35 in the game anytime soon. Either that or fully upgrade the Flaming Cliffs line up, I wouldn't mind a clickable Su-27 and Mig-29.. The Su-25 would also be really fun fully modeled.

[@Simbirsk2130]

Su-37

[@Tormozg666]

30-35?) lol ED stop making SU-27 (old) because its to new. MiG-23 best plane which we can get.

[@aleksandr9990]

Now the Hydra in DCS World! Great!

[@VitorMoura]

My God... I went nuts! Lol

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Oelala look at this beauty. When is the pre-order starting?

[@rifraf105]

Bought and waiting, woop woop

[@tommeier1888]

bought instantly

[@alm4760]

those explosions are a vast improvement. if u can get dust particles to linger more a little.

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

It is a good balance of looks and performance.

[@alm4760]

can we see rain moisture in 2.5 on glass.?

[@fieldmartan4426]

This is a money shot if i've ever seen one

[@kleusbalut915]

great works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheSound0fLegends]

If only dcs actually looked and sounded like this.

[@BIGNEWY]

Nice :)

[@derelor1337]

Awesome!

[@jasonafterburner4596]

Awesome work!

[@SacofApples]

Amazing

[@jomomma8754]

MY WALLET IS READY.

[@PUCK202]

why do they need to put that hornet at the end

[@therealsilens]

Tease is the ONLY reason why

[@Robbanswe96]

becouse they are working on it...

[@exolight_fr]

Because they've been fucking teasing us for years, and they are still doing it ;) GOD DAMN IT WE ARE WAITING FOR IT

[@1818TC]

Even though i'm really not a fan of the Harrier at all, i can't lie but that teaser is very very sexy !

[@LOMACKING]

Take my money this looks too good to be true....

[@northman77]

no way! too good to be true.

[@GrmlZGaming]

Ah yea, here we go. :D

[@royrayter1646]

What about a new video?,like your vids!

[@GrmlZGaming]

Did not have much time for DCS, but i plan to get back into it with the new modules coming out, Harrier, F-18 and F-14. Maybe i do a short SU-33 vid first, since its also a carrier fighter.

[@highway6334]

Oh hell yes!

[@TheDrummingWarrior]

Better be a skin for the Royal Navy!

[@ninegravity2275]

When I review this trailer,still great.

[@SergeantSarge]

What's sexier, that Harrier or that frame rate? 😍

[@wantdatcadpat44]

man idk, kinda like ArmA3 Trailers :D

[@Night6436]

Oh nice. Take my money now.

[@Jack-Wall]

[@gregpruitt1647]

Were those upgraded bomb explosion graphics? Very nice!!

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

Yes

[@gregpruitt1647]

So, when can we expect to see those outstanding graphics in the sim? Extremely nice looking!

[@rainierfamilyhomestead]

They are part of DCS 2.5

[@home-w8y]

not yet available...just checked

[@Ddustz3]

jeeebuss Christ. I ordered my pimax 8k vr already. cant f!#$ing waitttt oh mannn. I don't know about you guys but I only play this in vr currently using the htc vive and its a game changer. I cannot go back to 2d monitor.

[@therealsilens]

Money! Now! Question now is...do I call off work on a Friday...hmm...

[@AlexMageethefirst]

lol, last time I did that they bumped back the release date :-(

[@antagonist99]

I rate this trailer Terminator theme/10

[@wantdatcadpat44]

[@McDoucheVonDouche]

Will it come to steam?

[@viktorr2253]

ME GUSTA

[@jesusisdahomie5348]

Got my money today!

[@giuseppeloggia6412]

WHEN!!!???

[@shanebowden7114]

where can u get it? i cant see it on steam

[@flyingdolphino5757]

Fuck me those explosions

[@artvandelay8953]

No Halloween for anybody in my house this year

[@mrshar1000]

F8 Crusader!!!!! PLEASEEEE!!!!

[@FOXIT36]

Попробую угадать: взлетает вертикально с полной боевой загрузкой и полными баками. Не то что совковый СУ-33, у которого с лётной моделью всё хорошо.

[@Procxlite]

I don't get it. If we're gonna have 2 versions of DCS, why not make it 1.5 and 2.5? Seems like it makes more sense.

[@robertmantell1700]

Nathan DaCosta everything is being moved towards having it all on v2, all maps, effects, etc.

[@Procxlite]

Robert Mantell I know, but testing an unreleased product on an unreleased product (both in alpha practically) seems a bit unfair to the consumer as we don't know what it's like on 1.5 or 2.1. I don't even see the point of an alpha 2.1, when you can have an alpha 2.5.

[@kasrakhatir]

New explosion effects ?

[@rainierfamilyhomestead]

Yes, those are part of DCS 2.5.

[@jasoncan6472]

Hello! Tell me please how to buy Su27. In what system should be calculated? And where it is better to buy, on DCS World or on STEAM? Thankful in advance, your subscriber. In Ukraine.

[@keysersoze1855]

Take my money now!!!!!!!!!

[@samivwow]

ED, PLEASE ! Is the hornet going to be in the next two months or should I buy this. I can't buy all of them at once >_

[@jesterschameleon1862]

Buy this :-)

[@theflyinggasmask]

How the hell do i pre-purchase without at purchase button!!!!!!

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

Looks okay here: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/av8bna/

[@Kleinebombair]

Platform??? PC ? Konsole?

[@יונתןגורקין]

*Kfir?* *PLZZZZZ....???*

[@anthoninlahterman9223]

Wich music is uses?

[@zzodr]

I am going to land backwards while firing rockets.

[@omarselim6281]

Falklands map?

[@ecolepilotefrance]

Where is the module ? When we click on it i don't see the module...

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/av8bna/

[@racingtheweb]

is it A/G only?

[@rainierfamilyhomestead]

It is primarily A/G; it can perform A/A though it has no radar since it is the NA version. Typically the A/A aspect of the Harrier NA would be defensive in nature.

[@racingtheweb]

James Rainier thanks

[@ЮрийНиколаевич-ш9в]

У меня всё, перестала запускаться!

[@rifraf105]

Anyone that want to join me for learning to operate it and fly together then let me know.

[@idontlikebigbrother9778]

emmmmmmm where is the agm122 sidearm? The guys on the forum said there will be sidearm. Please! it is the only anti radiation weapon for nato side.
