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.

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

Ghost

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

tomhocking

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

marconiandcheese

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

riderofthemark

DCS is the BEST simulation so far. Unmatched.

Krisisawake

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

Red-Magic

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.

AFOKHAOS

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

Chessbear

Another great video Cato Bye, excellent work!

neo

Wow! Talk about uncanny valley! Superb!

MichaelBrodie

the anticipation is strong on this one

Clintwoodz

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

CheckSix

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

matthewmaclauchlan

This British beauty has got it going on.

eraldorh

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!
