What happened to the Harrier?

ratlover232 · Post by **ratlover232** » 2007-09-08 19:18

According to this site, the harrier was ingame and operational on December 23, 2005. Did it get left out of the releases following due to technical issues, no solid map to put it on, or something else? I am really curious as to why this beauty didn't make it into any releases.

I've flown the harrier on proving grounds, and it is clearly not finished. It lacks a HUD, the weapons don't work properly, and it is plagued with numerous bugs.

Mind you those pictures of it look pretty good, but the one I flew looked like, ummm... ****?

That pistol is in game already? Doesn't the British Pilot kit get that handgun?

Browning HP is used by British Officer, Pilot, Heavy AT and Sniper.
Diemaco SFW probably by British Spec Op.

Correct. Have a cookie.

Harrier will turn up at some point. Currently there aren't any maps that we'd want to put it on, anyway.

Is that current maps, or maps that are currently in the works (such as Quinling)?

I thought 0.7 was supposed to be the RAF's jet debut and the PLAAF's return to the relm of fixed wing air support...

Current maps = maps in 0.6.

We pretty much can't use anything made by samonius or anything posted before 2006. Except the harrier.

I think the plan is to remake the harrier, its buggy as hell....

The ideal is to fix it, not remake it, Rhino

models can look nice but at the same time they may not be in any state to go into a game engine without alot of work. Stigger has had to spend more time on fixing other peoples models up to get them into a state to get them ingame than making his own
