FS2004 Gauge: VTOL/Hover for Adam Preece’ GR7 Harrier
FS2004 Gauge: VTOL/Hover for Adam Preece’ GR7 Harrier (here) This freeware gauge adds a whole new flightmodel and new VTOL & Hover features to Adam Preece’ freeware Harrier. Besides true vertical takeoff&landing, it allows you to fly forward, backward, sideways and turn, while in a hover. This solution is based on overriding the normal FS flightdynamics while in a hover, simular to the implementation of catapult launch / cable arrest in my Carrier Operation Package; in short, it’s a VTOL&Hover FDE coded in a gauge. Special thanks to Doug Dawson, who created a gauge that provides for overriding FS2004 variables from an XML gauge. Besides a VTOL controller, it also contains an effects controller plus visual effects, for things like wingtip vortex, directional engine smoke and a cannon. Requires FSUIPC (registered or unregistered). The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions. By Rob Barendregt. 89K
