Not sure what he's doing but CCRP is done by keeping FPM on the bomb fall line.
He basically executes a CCIP using CCRP.

CCIP and CCRP are weapon aiming methods, not delivery types. You can use CCRP or CCIP for pretty much any weapon delivery type, although each are better suited to some delivery types over others. In short, "a CCIP" is not a thing.

That said, all the deliveries in the videos of the harrier so far haven't been the best executed affairs, so haven't shown the aircraft's capabilities that well really. But then I guess it is representative of the way most will employ it.

That is, of course, after EXTENSIVE beta testing smile

No wonder they don't release hard figures for their new map.....

Well,

It's got to be a system specific thing, because my frame-rates both in and out of the cockpit are as smooth as silk. It's not a finished product by any means, but it's quite bit of fun and very interesting to fly.

I re-installed the Beta inorder to try it out and there are some interesting changes in that also. The Mission Editor has a new look and some added functionality, but I haven't had the chance to dive into it yet.

I'm interested in the Harrier. If it is a system specific issue I'd like to know what it is before I buy and I guess it's almost pointless asking how long it would take to fix. What is ED's refund policy nowadays?

They don't have one


DCS Kickstarter
Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable."
Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

And you can't sell your modules to someone else either.

I got the Harrier this evening.

It is fantastic, very fun to fly.

Still has some kinks, FM feels too easy to fly, but Razbam has a solid track record for improving things as time goes on. Will keep flying it and look forward to watching the aircraft improve. Not that it's at all bad now - very neat plane to fly.

NO FPS issues whatsoever here. Smooth as silk, FPS over 100 all the time and my rig is not particularly a monster.

Max settings, Longbow? Or not? Would be nice to get a reference, some solid info regarding settings, hardware, and expected performance numbers.

Second all of these points, based on my initial ~45 min of stick time yesterday evening.

Deja Vu from the Mirage; solid alpha launch, lot's of in op stuff, and flys like a "toy"; there's no way I'm that good at flying the Harrier, lol. Not a lot of things that are buggy or "broken" though, just things that aren't there yet.

All item Razbam addressed with amazing speed and transparency with the M2k (a refreshing change of pace for this platform!). I've no reason to doubt they'll have things in top, full release shape within 6-9 months. Personally I like this style of launch: it lets us get a taste of the harrier (development warts and all), and it's fun getting some new features to play with every week as they continue updating.

ED could learn a thing or two from these guys...

I am happy to buy AV-8B module but first they must make it perform like the real airplane.

I don't run on max settings. most of my settings are on medium or high, heat blur turned off.

Settings when I use VR are turned pretty low as VR is murder. I value clarity of the VR display and ability to see units far away more than the prettyness of the scenery.

resolution 1600x1050 or 1920x1600 depending on my mood (windowed or full screen)
most menu settings at medium, land textures high, cockpit screens set to 512. fsaa etc at 4x.

Specs:
Core i5 3570 3.6 OC'd to 4.0ghz
16gb ram
GTX 1060 3gb video card
Oculus Rift turned on when I feel like it, otherwise trackIR.

Thanks Longbow.... still a bit confused.... when you said 100FPS all the time, was this in VR or on a regular monitor?

100fps is on the regular monitor, fps hovers around 30 in VR. but i have to admit i have not tweaked much for VR as i usually use it more for other games and sims than with DCS

From what I understand, you buy it you can get a refund. Once YOU activate it, it's yours baby.

You have to activate it to fly it so, too bad, so sad, if it is not what you wanted.

I wonder how that works on Steam since their policy allows for a short, two hour IIRC, test period.
