Would anyone venture a guess as to when we might see the Harrier in the NTTR?

I just hope the 2.2 sorts out the ‘shadows’ perf issue I was having (plus they look sort of ‘blue’) plus they fix that PNG screenshot things, so we can post more DCS AARs easily. 
Put this in the Harrier Tips thread, but good enough to repeat here.
A very nice USMC Harrier Force Flight Syllabus guide (link from the video above). Has pretty much everything in there, lots of detailed procedures.
Some nice bedtime reading!

Common Errors
—Walking to the wrong jet.
Hopefully this ability will be modelled in 2.5.

This is actually a thing in civil aviation as well.

It’s only the wrong jet if you are caught.

I’ve done it before… And I’m supposed to… you know, take em apart partially. That could have been embarrassing. Thankfully everyone in aviation knows the art of walking around with a piece of paper looking busy. It keeps nosey people away!

I have it on good authority that #1 is getting into an aircraft where the wings rotate faster than the fuselage.

- I’m not busy right now, got any jobs for me?
So the Harrier hit 2.2 today and I finally got the chance to try it. Just did my first flight lasting 30 minutes. My first impression, this thing is super easy to fly I haven’t done any reading or preparation for the Harrier, in fact I didn’t even watch any 1.5 videos (just makes the waiting harder). So I simply assigned the axis for my controllers and jumped straight into the free flight mission. Did about a dozen of VTOLs, a short take-off, a short landing and lots of hovering until running low on fuel. This thing is a lot of fun! Pushing for power takes a lot of getting used to tough
The cockpit looks very nice in VR. I like how the HUD base protracts into the cockpit. Texture work is not as spectacular and impressive as with the Viggen though. The engine sounds are also a little weak. I hope that is an area that they will still improve on.
Overall I am looking forward to working into this bird.
