Press and hold the AFCS MODES OFF button for a few seconds, it’s the red one on the stick. After a few seconds of it being held you’ll see the green light on the DAMPER button turn off

Yeah, I see that they properly modeled the aileron deflection range decreasing at high AoA. But the rudder usage of AFCS seems to be missing. And like you said, I’d assume the system would start adding in automatic rudder inputs at around the same AoA that aileron deflection reduces

Flying around in the DCS MiG I noticed that at high AoA there is very little roll authority with ailerons, one must use rudder. Which is to be expected. But I also noticed that there is zero automatic rudder movement, you must move them yourself. So I dug into the GAF manual to what, if any, augmentation/stability assists the aircraft should have. And in the flight controls section the manual states: “lateral control is provided mainly by the ailerons, assisted by the tailerons if the LEF are IN, and by the rudders at high AoA.” And in the damper section it states: “Aileron-rudder-interconnect is provided at high AoA by the stab aug system to improve lateral stability.” I have the AFCS on and the Damper mode engaged, and in high AoA flight while moving the stick laterally I see absolutely zero rudder movement. Am I misunderstanding the manual, or this something that is missing/broken in the DCS MiG?

You almost have it right. 1) place pipper on/around target and have jester lock with short context press. Doesn’t have to be exact at this stage 2) once ground is locked, now you place the pipper exactly over your target 3) once over target, hold pickle and you will immediately get the tone. That’s normal. Keep pickle held and do a nice smooth wings level pull. The bombs will automatically release at the right time Your confusion is in the tone. That is not the tone for when to pull up. The tone sounds as soon as you press and hold the pickle button

How do I access the playlist? Is there a link somewhere?

I’ve noticed the same behavior. I spawned onto the runway on one of the airports on Cyprus and was reading someone on my iPad. When I looked up I noticed the plane had rotated 10 degrees or so to the left. I exited and respawned to see if I can replicate it. Sure enough, a few seconds after spawn in I could see it rotating to the left again

Thanks for all of your info in this thread! I have learned a lot. Any talk on the Russian forum from the developers about fixing the yaw SAS in the simulator and making it function like in the real helicopter?

Yup! At my university in the US we have a lab that has students try on NVG/Thermal optics to see how stuff looks in them. Only US citizens can partake in the lab, no foreign students. I thought it was was but strange at first but now I understand

It’s already happening. The school I instruct at has an all G1000 fleet. Without the GPS and magenta line they’d be lost. On a IFR flight I told the student I want to do the VOR approach raw data with no overlay, his response was “we can do that?”

Do you guys have any plans on perhaps giving a detailed post on what exactly you guys can/can’t do with the EF? I think some transparency in regards to what you guys can model realistically and what, if anything, has to be “fudged” a bit for security would be nice. I remember reading some comments from a TrueGrit interview that they couldn’t comment much on some flight model stuff for security. Are you guys able to model the EF flight model/FBW fully and realistically or will there have to be some “fudging?” Very excited for the module!!

I just created an identical mission on the Syria map, no CTD

I created a Case 1 mission on the new Mariana's map and I get a DCS CTD every time I select LDG for the HUD mode. The instant I press it the sim crashes. I can fly my Case 1 mission that I've had created on the Persian Gulf just fine, not sure what this issue could possibly be. I have included the mission file. Anyone get aF14A Case 1.miznything like this?

Awesome videos! I’ve enjoyed watching them. It seems like all of the manuals you can find online are in languages that I can’t read. So it’s been nice having you make videos to explain things. Please keep making more videos!

Thank you VitMax! You did a great job explaining what the trim button is supposed to do! I’m sure this will clarify a lot of questions people, myself included, had about how exactly to use the trim button and what the AP is trying to do

Yeah I get the pitch oscillations on my landings as well. I’m not if it’s the autopilot doing some stuff behind the scenes? I’ll have to test later today with all AP channels off and see how it behaves
