New in release 241219

3D rework of the Sea Harrier FRS.1, Harrier GR.3 and RP-54E UCAV. Updated GUI for camera & radar operation. New weapons and weapons loadouts. Refined default aircraft paint schemes.


ECM for all:
These electronic warfare objects will simulate ECM for any aircraft (player or AI) in IL-2 missions. The range and effectiveness of the ECM jamming is set by the Skill: level of the FMB object. ECM jamming zones can also be simulated.


AI VTOL:
AI Harriers will do vertical take-offs and landings from any IL-2 aircraft carrier, ASW frigates, VTOL pads or open ground.




Missiles:
Terrain following cruise missiles [loadout option for Harrier FRS.1 & GR.3]
Range of this missile is more than 160kms [~90nmi] and it will try and stay no more than 150m above the terrain at 700+km/h [~+400kts]. This air launched ordnance can target any IL-2 ship, INS waypoint, and Early warning or Target acquisition radars.


Practice air-to-air missiles & gun camera [loadout option for Harrier FRS.1/GR.3 & RP-54E UCAV]
Allows players to sharpen their close in air-to-air dog fighting skills. Pilots can engage other aircraft with IR guided missiles without the risk of damage to their opponent. AI aircraft will also fire this ordinance, so missile evasion techniques can be practiced safely. For gun fighting, camera shot tallies by both player and adversary are displayed to all. A shutter sound is heard when gun camera is triggered by the cannon key.

sweet looking

[Hans-Joachim Marseille]

Purely #amaceing !     Thx so much! What a start into the new year!  Now for the 40th anniversary coming up we could make the whole campaign of the Falklands - I think we have  almost everything needed now. (Only ships and Nimrod missing I think). Just have to check if it works in my BAT 4.1.3 though...


Edit:  Hell yeah! Let's go! 

[ZtheE]

Beautiful! A proper GB harrier!

[Gaston]

Excellemnt ! My 2 favourite variants of the Harrier are finally available ! Can't wait to download and install them in my BAT !!!

[LambdaNorth]

Wooohooo!! Not just an FRS 1, but a GR.3 as well for a wonderful start into the new year! Thank you Ranwers and mace!

[Type83Fighter]

Absolute coding and modeling genius. Cheers for the wonderful aircraft.

[KingTiger503]

Well Done Mace Keep it up.


Best Regards KT503

[galaticz]

This is Absolutely nice!.

[Mono27]

Nice! I hope these birds will be included in the next TOAS mod update.

[LambdaNorth]

Just got around to testing these birds, and they're beautiful pieces of work, although I bumped into this when I was just about to finish Mission 3.


IL-2 went into a softlock. By pressing ctrl, I could type something below this white text, so I'm assuming it's either a chat or a command line. The engine could still be heard, but the camera couldn't be moved, unpausing was impossible, and so was quitting out of the mission. Any ideas?

Running BAT V.4.2 "Flashpoint" With this and the Victor as the only other mods installed. I'll retry the mission and see if I can get anything out of the log.
