+1 for this.

Not only that, the R-27R & ER with the new so-called model is just plain broke. Just a sprinkling of chaff is enough to send it off target. @AeriaGloria I will try your method today when I get back from work.

That's exactly my question. Why is that APU switch there if it is not needed or has that been bypassed in early access?

Next to the start engine switch

Okay, that's cool. But what's the reason for the air relight switch and also if you could enlighten me, the reason for the APU switch? Just curious and would love to know. Thanks.

Yesterday, I did a test flight and went up to Mach 2.3 (by the way, the Mach gauge in the English cockpit is so wrong, but I see it is already reported) at 22,000 meters. I was just about to reduce power when I lost both engines or at least the engines returned to idle or less than idle...(felt like it was starved for air). Once I dropped down to about 12 km, the engines automatically started up one by one. Is this as intended? My question is there is an air relight switch (for both engines) on the left control panel below the COOP mode section...but none of that is clickable as yet. Will this be implemented later on? I believe it should be implemented. You can see the engines lose power in this video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2576571368 Watch from 36:00 to 40:00. Unfortunately, I don't have a track file. (Failed to save it)

We await the master to get into the cockpit. Looking forward to some videos from you comrade, Ironhand.

Thanks @Blackbahia.

Any idea for the gyros query? Anyone?

Oh...I have not tried that. Will give it a go. Thanks @Esac_mirmidon Edit: Face palm... My mistake... Never realized there's another button for the correct radio.

As you can see, in the editor, it starts from 0... and the correct channels were selected for Anapa @Esac_mirmidon

Map: Caucasus Airbase: Anapa Singleplayer. Radio Not Working: On following the cold start procedure, I'm unable to contact the tower to request engine startup. I set up the radio channels as follows: 1 = 121.00 Mhz AM 5 = 250.00 Mhz AM Both are the correct frequencies for Anapa tower. Yet, after powering the radio, and selecting the correct channels, I'm unable to contact the tower. Gyro Bug: According to Wags' startup video, we are to switch off the Main Gyro and see if the Standby Gyro works correctly (which is logical and I feel correct). However, in the MiG-29 manual provided by ED, it says to switch off the Standby Gyro to see if the HSI works correctly (This works as intended). If I follow Wags' startup video, the HSI just goes off...and never realigns. I know I maybe wrong, but it feels like Wags' video tutorial is correct and logical. Track attached showing the bugs. Cold Start Radio + Gyro bug.trk dcs.log

Yes, I guessed wrong... but it is really funny that ED is simulating a bad maintenance aspect of this jet and not when it works right... Yet, BLUEFOR (F16, F18) gets magic RWRs

Now that you pointed it out, I too find that odd. Every other part of the cockpit in real life is Cyrillic, but only this is in Latin or English....

ED, please have metric units with English cockpit implemented as soon as possible. Thanks.

Those are vodka bottles comrade... just disguised as fire extinguisher bottles

If it is inherently not designed to overspill as you say, then I doubt ED would take the trouble to model such a thing. Time will give us the answers, though.

Who are these people you mention?

Since DCS does not simulate bad maintenance or equipment issues, I guess this should not be a problem in DCS.

Any idea what the highlighted portion is?

@BIGNEWY Just a doubt here, will there be a Metric English cockpit on release? Currently, I see there is an English cockpit with Imperial units and standard Cyrillic metric cockpit from Wags' videos.

Interesting stuff... keep it coming guys.

A "Hey everyone, it's Wags here from Eagle Dynamics, today we're going to take a look at the MiG-29" video today would be nice given its the weekend and all.

I don't understand the need for the R-77. Its a terrible medium range missile. The best use for it is in WVR where you can launch the R-77 instead of an R-73/R-60 which has the chance of getting flared away. I would rather prefer the R-27ER/ET.

I did not mean it to be funny, but if it was, that's great. It was a genuine question, though. For ex., where I live, summer is almost over.
