Wilco Harrier (Download version released!)

'we' being...... ? 'Barry'.... 'Rob'..... secrecy?

At FSAddon I like to give credit to the actual designers and beta testers, so they are always prominently mentioned. And I also like for my customers to know WHO they really bought a product from, 'me' just being the project manager/investor and/or middleman. Hence the question.

Developed by Barry and his team at Aeroplane Heaven, with FDE assistance from Rob, I imagine

I brought last night, had a very quick flight in it, seems OK... One thing i had with the nossel possition is its very hard to get right with my X52 axis assigned to the prop pitch, alot of moving very slightly to move a few degrees on the pop up gauge... Will do a more in depth flight at some point soon!

Well all the credits are in the manual and in the specs but...

Publisher Wilco Publishing

Models, textures, etc. Aeroplane Hreaven
VTOL programming and flight dynamics Rob Berendregt
Radar Programming Eric Marciano
Bespoke animation code and other gauge work Modular 9

So, the customers who have bought so far have bought it from Wilco Publishing, owner of the project.

The rest of us don't really care too much about credit. (Cash preferred!

LOL.... cash too .....

But it helps at least part of the - potential - customers to know these things in order to decide.

Thanks mate :-)

Hi Chris,

Once you have the nozzle lever in the position you want, "mark" it with the STO lever. That way you can compensate for any fluctuation in your stick controller and snap the nozzle lever to that position each time . It's not easy but then that's how it was designed.

I want to buy the Harrier, but I my as well wait for the updated version, could you let us know when that one becomes available Bazzer? That would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Ian.

Ah must have skipped that bit in the manual, as i had a quick read through then a quick flight... Is there an online manual as it might be handy for those who havent purchased to see what it looks like and to be prepared?

G'day Ian,

I believe the new version is available now.

Bazzar,
I didn´t recieved any contact from wilco about the new version. It´s ok to redownload the complete package again, or it´s a patch that i´m not findind in harrier´s page???

Thanks!

Francois actually made a very valid point. I have purchased this, but ONLY after a pretty difficult time of trying to find out who the devs were.

Reason being... Me, like many others, have had bad experiences with Wilco, and will only purchase from them if I know the devs and REALLY want their work.

10/10 though guys. I,m loving this. It's by far the best Harrier for FSX!

An example being... Just gone to my 'orders' page at Wilco, only to find my purchase not there. Meaning I can't get the update.

I would have thought, on a payware product, you could have coded the Aux doors better, than simply linking them to throttle position? This is unrealisitic, doing 400 knots, and the doors are wdie open, just because the throttles are maxed

**bazzar** · May 11th, 2011, 06:00

thanks, I like your work too.

**UKMIL** · May 11th, 2011, 06:19

mate, the harrier is excellent, but just some small observations thats all. Payware these days needs to stand out from the crowd with those little touches, and coding aux doors with XML to work as they should is not difficult
