This is an update for FS X acceleration of the BAe Harrier GR.7 by Kazunori Ito.  I have updated the flight dynamics, added the other wheels, fixed the scrape points and modified the F-16 panel that no longer works in Kirk Olsson's F-16 so it has a panel.  No virtual cockpit.  You need the original aircraft for this update to work.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  After backing up your air and aircraft.cfg files, replace them with the ones in this update.  Copy the picture to the aircraft folder.  Back up your panel folder and replace it with the one in this update.  Copy the gauges to the main FS gauges folder.

If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have them to the main FS gauges folder.  For some the .cab files will be .zip files as .cab files are a type of .zip file.

See the [reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg for operating speeds.

This aircraft will take off and land at 25 to 30 knots with the flaps down.  As in FS 9 you can take off near virtically and land the same.  It takes practice to get it right.  For landing, slow to about 100 knots and no throttle; engage the speed brake and one notch of flaps.  You will gain altitude.  When you stop going up, trim and add the next notch of flaps.  Keep adding flaps and trimming till you have full flaps.  As you near the ground, add power to slow the rate of decent.

For take off, add all flaps.  Put in all up trim available.  Go to about 50% throttle.  After you are in the air, remove one notch of flaps and trim down.  Keep removing flaps and trimming down until the flaps are in.  You then have to either hold the aircraft level until you gain more speed; or add a bit of up trim.  You can start with full throttle if you are not going to stay near the take off point.  I usually start with 50% because I am going up to have a look around the area where I took off; so backing off the throttle a bit alows me to stop accending and fly around the area at 100 ft. or less.

Without the flaps down, the aircraft can be flown and landed like any other aircraft.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
