The Basic HUD is nearly complete for both NAV and VSTOL modes. Further work must wait until the EFM is more advanced since the HUD requires certain parameters that must be fed by the EFM.

VSTOL mode: This mode is used when most of the lift is generated by the engines instead of the wings. It provides very useful data like engine RPM, Jet Tail Pipe Temperature, nozzle orientation and flaps deployment. All this is very important information that you need to stay alive while in jet borne operations. Remember, this aircraft is actively trying to kill you.

NAV mode: Default mode used for non combat flying.

Flaps are automatic so you do not have a flap handle but a switch that changes flaps operation:
CRUISE - Basically for flying. Flaps remain at a fixed position
AUTO - A compromise between CRUISE and STOL. Flaps move depending on aircraft configuration.
STOL - The main mode for jet borne operation (VSTOL). With the flaps in VSTOL mode, they move automatically based on nozzle orientation. (check the VSTOL HUD).

First flying test of the MPCD. They are very wip but we wanted to test the EHSD compass rose and MPCD page navigation while on flight.

Behold the rattlesnake hunter: An AV-8B N/A in SEAD configuration. The dark missiles are AGM-122, a sidewinder based ARM.
Rattlesnake Hunter:
- 2 AIM-9M.
- 2 AGM-122.
- 2 LAU-3 with 19 HYDRA 70 HE each.
- 1 AN/ALQ-164 DECM pod.
As always, images are WiP and very likely will change before release.

I should have been resting, instead I found myself fiddling with the weapons loadouts.
This is what I call my Anti-Ship load. You are ready for anything:
1 AIM-9M.
1 AMG-122 Sidearm.
2 GBU-16.
1 AMG-65K.
1 AN/AAQ-28 LITENING pod.
1 AN/ALQ-164 DECM pod.
I'm not sure if this is pos

Took me three days but the STRS page is now functional. It is buggy but that's to be expected. I'll have it 100% operational and 95% free of bugs by Friday.
After the STRS page the next to be worked.

guarda come viaggiano...  :spant:

Ma come armamento a2a si sa che cosa hanno previsto? Perché in teoria è un aereo che può portare anche i 120.

AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack
    Versione per attacco notturno con turbine più potenti e navigatore a IR Navigation Forward Looking Infrared camera (NAVFLIR).

AV-8B Harrier II Plus
    Simile alla versione AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack dotata di radar APG-65 ed in uso al Corpo dei marine alla Marina Spagnola e all'Aviazione Navale Italiana.

Armamento
    Cannone: 1 GAU-12U "Equalizer" 25 mm e 300 colpi (Configurazione Americana, Spagnola e Italiana)
    Punti d'aggancio: 9 con capacità di 5 987 kg (STOVL), incluse bombe a caduta libera, bombe a grappolo, bombe al napalm,B61, bombe laser-guidate della serie Paveway, missili AGM-65 Maverick, designatore laser LITENING, più di quattro AIM-9 Sidewinder e missili a guida IR similari. Il radar equipaggiato dalla variante AV-8B+ gli permette di equipaggiarsi con missili AIM-120 AMRAAM . Inoltre può portare bombe della serie a guida GPS JDAM.

Quindi la prima versione non sarà dotata di AIM120, la versione plus invece li potrebbe portare, non vedo perchè non li dovrebbero mettere...

Per il momento solo AIM-9 essendo la versione AV-8B NA,non ha il radar.
Per i AIM-120B verranno implementati sucessivamente quando trasformeranno questo in AV-8B Plus che monta il radar AN/AGP-65 dell'F-A18

As promised the bug was found and squashed. Now the STRS page is working as intended. And look! The AA gunsight page is ready as well! Here we have the Long Range AA Gunsight (the small dashed circle) and the Short Range AA Gunsight (the big circle). The long range sight is fixed at 2,400 feet. The short range sight is fixed at 1,200 feet. Now I need to boresight them.

As promised: The sidewinders have been enabled. Boresight mode only at this time. But now the aircraft is fully Air-to-Air capable.
These images are of different tests, but they show how the STRS page works.

Two days into the LITENING pod development and all I have been doing is MPCD pages. There are five of them (actually seven if you count the two service ones). Well, it seems that tomorrow will be the last day I spend with MPCD pages and their navigation, so I can go to the core of the matter: managing the LITENING pod and getting video. Here is one of the MPCD pages, the others are similar.

fantastico, ci mostra il lavoro giorno per giorno
