Lixma 06

Probably does double duty.

Page 1-119B shows an inboard/outboard ext. stores selector switch. I don't know if there's any way for the pilot to select individual pylons.

No matter how dramatic the AOA or how hard the maneuver I can't induce any kind of vibration or shaking. Is this normal or just a WIP thing?

Did you get the 'Y' override command thingy working? I press it but I can't tell if it's doing anything and there's nothing in the cockpit I can see to indicate whether it's on or off.

Well, I've always stuck with the stable release - but yesterday I bought the Mig and tried to install it and got an error. So I bumped up to the latest open-beta and it installed OK. So the Mig might not be available, yet, for the stable version. I've not heard anything official - and the store makes no mention that it only works under the beta, which is a bit naughty. I think tomorrow there might be an update for the stable release - but that's just a guess.

On the pitch axis it's not very important because the 'center point' is dynamic with airspeed - but the roll axis has a very obvious center (assuming symmetric load, undamaged) and the way it is currently modeled it's impossible to return to neutral trim; even the 'reset trim' command can't do it.

Makes it worse! Not complaining, though....I'd rather have ten 'esoteric handling' Mig-29's than one vice-less point-and-shoot-mobile.

And flexxy wings, too. Backdated to all DCS planes!

+1 You can be holding a steady turn but if you pull just 0.1% further back on the stick the aircraft's nose pitches up violently as if you've crossed a threshold where controller inputs are amplified. It's like flicking a switch. Fun to fly - but if it's realistic I wonder what the designers were smoking :)

Aye. You can probably dogfight using the trim control it's so quick.

This is right after take off. Try it - input some aileron trim then try and trim it out. You'll be there all day :)

It doesn't work - the lights turn green but it doesn't fully center the trim; the plane still rolls.

I defy anyone to trim a roll back to center. Either the trim controls are too coarse or whoever signed off on this at the factory needs shooting.

Yes, cleared them all and re-did them - it's still super-sensitive.

'P' works fine here (it just saved my life). The trouble I'm having with landing is that the pitch sensitivity is so extreme that if I dare bunt the nose after touch-down the nose-wheel slams into the tarmac and the aircraft rebounds back into the air and at that point I'm a passenger.

I think the main 'problem' (and it's not specific to the Mig-29) is that the light from the terrain is penetrating the cockpit floor and illuminating everything that would ordinarily be in shadow - e.g. the canopy framing and the HUD padding are glowing with yellow light from the fields beneath.

I think the trick is not to come in too shallow. For example in the Mig-21 if you set the throttle to 'LAND' it quickly becomes obvious that you only have enough power for a controlled 'parachute' to the runway so your glide-slope is relatively steep.

Where is this? I can't find it.

My bad....turns out everthing's normal :music_whistling:

+100 Case in point....:)

Not sure why. Pitch Roll Yaw

Using 'Transition to Level Flight' (RALT-7) the autopilot gets the shakes. It starts at around 550kph and gets worse the faster you go.

Couple of questions. Is there any in-cockpit indication of whether the stick limiter override is on or off? The default throttle axis travels from 80-100% in about an inch of controller movement, then does nothing for ages, then engages the afterburner at around 70% travel. Is this normal? It seems very constricted. I never had the previous FC3 Mig-29 so this might be just how it is. I've adjusted the throttle axis with a curve but I'd prefer not to.
