There are many more details over on the DCS World Weekend News update.
USS Tarawa (LHA-1) will also be included into DCS for use with the Harrier. Plenty of ordinance including Mark 20 CBU, multiple JDAM varieties, AIM-9 and AGM-65 Maverick missiles.
Detailed cockpit with night vision and colour multi-function displays. Advanced Flight Model with the highest fidelity flight modeling available in DCS and the first to feature a VTOL jet fighter. Some of these you’re familiar with and have used many times over and some of these are new.
The entire trailer was also captured using a pre-release version of DCS World 2.5 with background scenes that probably feature the new Strait of Hormuz map.Īs with most DCS modules, you don’t just get a jet but a whole host of systems, countermeasures and ordinance to throw at your enemy. It’s well worth watching and stick around to the very end because there’s a fun little stinger at the end there. The pre-order trailer also went online today put together by DCS video producing legend ‘Glowing AMRAAM’ who is now officially an employee of ED.
The HUD and cockpit is setup to be used with the goggles and I can only assume that RAZBAM has worked hard to make sure that its an authentic experience. It’s a night attack version as well with forward looking FLIR and night vision goggles are available for the in-game pilot to wear. It’s quite a cool package and it looks like RAZBAM has crafted it beautifully. The USMC variant of the British Harrier jump-jet is a capable aircraft with a good variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons packaged into a small fighter jet that can takeoff and land almost anywhere. Excitement has been building to this point and now its nearly here.

Key Features of DCS: AV-8B N/A VTOL by RAZBAM include: 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. 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 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. 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. 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. Deliveries to the USMC began in September of 1989 to VMA-214 at Yuma, Arizona. It later evolved into the AV-8B N/A (Night Attack) and AV-8B Harrier II Plus.įirst flight of a modified AV-8B in the night attack configuration was on June 26th, 1987.
The AV-8B made its maiden flight in November 1981 and entered service with the United States Marine Corps in January 1985. 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.
