it looks good…how to map nozzle vectoring to button/switch?

I don’t have the plane (yet) but if it’s like others, the manual is in a Documentation folder inside the plane’s root folder in \COMMUNITY. I’m sure that info will be in there. Otherwise, you can ask for help on the DC Designs Discord server.
thanks, I didn’t see anything in the manual…will go to discord
Looks like nozzles are tied to prop pitch in reverse. I.e. Full forward prop lever is full down nozzles,
It has its explanation. The nozzles go from 0 to 98 degrees. Therefore, the propeller pitch has been associated in this way.
In the event of one day that will be implemented and as long as it is better than this, so for now this is what it is. If you can make one better or more realistic, I’ll let you do it.

By all means make a better one.

Any idea on binding the VTOL flaps switch to VSTOL? Bit disappointed controls bindings aren’t covered in the manual

Tempted for this - anyone who has purchased able to give a view on systems modelling, complexity, realism etc?
My first impression is that it’s only for fun, don’t expect too much in respect to the real aircraft. But there’s nothing wrong with that IMO.
Know your work in photography, didn’t know you were into flight sims!

Understood. However, a prop pitch lever is full forward in it’s “default” position in the aircraft.
The Harrier nozzle lever is also full forward in its “default” position, which equates to nozzles aft.
But, as it stands, if you have your prop pitch mapped to an axis to match a prop aircraft’s setup, then it will translate to nozzles full down in the Harrier.
Basically, unless you reverse axis every time you fly the Harrier, a typically configured prop pitch lever will work opposite the way the Harrier’s nozzle lever does.
The lever in the cockpit will even move the opposite way.
It would be nice not to have to change profiles just to fly the Jumpjet.

Just downloaded it…Any idea where the control mapping list is? Downloaded the manual… No mapping list that I can find. Looks like the prop pitch maps to the nozzles from what IM reading. So I am guessing that’s going to be listed as an axis…not a button… Correct?
OH! Tomorrow you copter fans… Aerosoft’s off shore industries will be available for download! My Hype H145 is ready for Thanksgiving on a off shore platform!
Everyone have a Great Holiday!
Thanks!
Agree with that suggestion - I just posted the same in the Discord.
Full foward is 0 nozzle degrees in the harrier, and 0 nozzle degrees means they are rotated like a conventional aircraft. So is correct.
I don’t think we should make such a change. When you load the plane on the runway, it does a taxi procedure to the runway. The configuration is correct, unless we want the plane to be directly in Hover mode.

it’s just the other way around:
Right, but as noted in the Discord, what I’m seeing, and what I think @Deacon8tor is seeing, is that the hardware prop lever moves opposite to the one in the cockpit, and gives 0 degrees of deflection when full aft, and 98 degrees of deflection when full forward. In other words, the hardware controller prop pitch axis is reversed - but for me, at least, only in the Harrier. It works fine in my prop aircraft where full forward equals full fine. Wondering if there’s any alternative to a custom profile with a reversed prop pitch axis for this aircraft only.

Yes, that is exactly correct, at least in my configuration.
As an example,
I map the axis of my throttle’s extra lever to the prop pitch axis so that it travels in the same manner of a variable pitch prop.
Full forward in the aircraft, matches full forward on the extra axis.
Load the Harrier. Now full forward on extra axis is full nozzles down and if you were to look in the Harrier cockpit the nozzle level would be FULL AFT, opposite the extra axis.
So, in order to get the extra axis handle to match the nozzle lever, you must go to the controller assignment screen and click reverse axis.

This is EXACTLY why you can setup profiles for different aircraft on each controller. Just copy your default profile to a new one and change the prop axis reversed and change the new profile name to Harrier.

Can’t speak for @Deacon8tor but I know how to do that. Just wondering why it’s necessary to do it for this particular aircraft - if there’s logic to the reversed axis, I’m still not understanding it.

Makes sense, if we just have to set a profile change for just an axis reversal, then it would be nice to not have to do that I agree.
