1982: Flashpoint in the Falklands

The 1982: Flashpoint in the Falklands Mod site has moved to a new adress so it’s time to update your bookmarks!

They also posted some info about their Sea Harrier which has a completely new VTOL system:

This system doesnt rely on the menu at all. That’s right! No clumsy menu entries to access. Normal take off is via the W or E keys (or by joystick throttle) VTOL by Q and Z keys. Next I’m spending a lot of time making the cockpit as realistic as possible. With not many decent photos to go by and only a simplistic gauge layout this has been a long task, considering the Harrier was released almost 18 months ago. External stores now reflect the dual role the Sea Harrier undertook during the Falklands campaign. 2 main variants now, the standard as already relaesed for CAP duties, and the strateghic bomber version as used initially as a ground attack platform with both AIM9L missiles for air defence and Mk83s (or equivalent) for airfield bombing.
Some additional tweaks have also been/or being added to the Harrier:
- Ejection seat routines updated.
- Beefier engine sound.. especially on VTOL - WIP
- Dust cloud take off
- Twin gun smoke and shell ejection routines.
- Damage model - WIP
