Great news! Next week I close myself at home. :) :)

Thank you all for the useful information!!

Hello Everyone, a small question: how realigns the HUD symbology when it's moved across one side and it's hard to read? Thanks in advance for the help:thumbup:

With this thread (but also with others on the same theme) it seems to have created a little bit of "fire". And it was not my intention to do it. When I wrote I had made at least thirty attempted landings (all catastrophic) and I was "slightly" frustrated. However, the day after, I continued to train and, finally, I understood how to land and I started to perform good landings one after the other. Now I have no problems. Unfortunately I still do not land on the roads as Ironhand manages to do, but tomorrow who knows ?! A small cheat (which was useful to me) is to try first to make some landings with F-15 (a little more tolerant than the new Mig-29). It was useful to me. Thank you all!

In a custom mission you can place the Su-33 on the ramp further back on the aircraft carrier to get a greater take-off run (the Kutznezov has no catapults). But first you have to pay attention to the overall weight at take-off. If the plane is too heavy (for example because it has all the fuel) it cannot take-off with a too short run. Also, pay attention to the loading armament. In general with full tanks and complete armament the Su-33 can take-off only from an airport.

Very very well Ironhand! You have a perfect stick!!!

Thanks folks! ... and incredible Ironhand! Congrats. I want to try it myself (maybe to succeed I will take a little more than five days)

OK! After having performed at least thirty landings (all disastrous), I finally managed to have five successes and one after the other! So, I can say that I learned how to land with the new Mig-29. As has been written by many people on the forum, the secret is to have high AOA (from 7 to 10 degrees) to the touchdown (at 140/150 kias = 260/280 kmh = 161/173 mph), then, very gently, start to lower the nose and immediately activate the parachute with full brakes. Do not touch the rudder at least until the plane is around 80 kmh (= 43 kias = 70 mph)! What I could not understand (and perform) was just raising the nose so high because only the F-15 requires a similar maneuver to landing. Now I have to get used to the "strange" take-off and the management of engine power. In short, as many have advised me, it is only a matter of practice. With the hope that the developers do not decide to change the Mig-29 FM again!

In my opinion the FM has been made too difficult to master for an average simulation user (like me). I land well with all the simulated models (even with the Mig-21!) Because I faithfully follow the indicated landing procedures. But for two days I'm trying to make a landing with the "new" Mig-29 (following the instructions on the flight manual of the real Mig-29 !!!) and the result is that on dozens of attempts only a couple have gone well. Engine power management is a nightmare and it is already a problem to reduce speed. Then the plane bounces unrealistic even in level flight up to the touchdown. Moreover, despite the parachute and the brakes, at 250/300 km / h the plane stops right at the end of the runway. And be careful not to touch the rudder on the run ... the plane crashes catastrophically (there is no command for the NWS!). Below is a graph of the Mig-29 landing procedure (the real one).

I just tried a landing with the Open Beta (latest version) and everything is ok !!! Instead, on the "stable" version, does not work !!! Bah!?!?!

Hello everyone! Before take-off flaps and airbrakes work perfectly. I follow the landing procedure indicated on page 41 of Chuck's guide, at point 4, I try to extend flaps and airbrakes as indicated and ... surprise !! They DO NOT WORK !!! The flight parameters are those indicated in point 4 of the procedure. I have performed the maneuver five times and the problem remains. For me it's a bug!

Really strange. I easily landed with all the simulated aircraft (including the so "feared" Mig-21), I landed on the aircraft carrier with SU-33 and F-18, yet they are five days I'm trying to land on large airports such as highways with a MIG -29 and I managed (badly) to land three times on dozens of disasters. Flying the the MIG-29 is more difficult than flying the MIG-21?!?!?!

I completely agree. I opened a thread in FC3 - MIG29 page of this forum about the difficulties of the FM with respect to the simulation. Who was kind enough to answer me, wrote that I would need more practice. Surely I can train a lot and MAYBE I get the desired results, but why I have to adapt to FM so unnatural?! At any speed and at any AOA, at landing the plane bounces catastrophically!! The management of the throttle is "science fiction": at 80% the plane continues to accelerate !!! So many people claim everything is ok. I think they see a miracle every time they land without destroying the plane.:lol:

Hello everyone! I believe the new Mig-29 flight model is absolutely unsuitable for the simulation. Obviously, I have never piloted a Mig-29, but I think the simulated airplane is impossible to manage, during take-off, flight and landing. The take-off is very difficult: the run-up reaches over 300 km/h and there is always the risk of touching the track with the engines when you pull the stick back! The engine in flight is very difficult to manage: when it is at 80% of the power the plane continues to accelerate! It seems that the super-cruise was invented by the Russians with the Mig-29 not by the Americans with the F-22! Landing is a nightmare: assuming that you can reduce the speed of the plane (at least at 350-400 km/h). However, you can touch the track at any speed between 300 and 400 km/h, at an angle between 2 and 7 degrees, and the plane will always bounce off the track in a catastrophic way (total destruction)!!! I beg the developers to review something to make the Mig-29 FM enjoyable as that of the Su-27 (which still has a perfect FM and I hope it will not be changed for the worse). Thanks for the attention.

In my opinion, the only function of visual tracking has enormous value. Especially when the engagement limits are much wider than those mounted on the russian fighters.

I look forward to the functionality of the JHMCS in fact, currently, the AIM9X is not very effective. When is this expected to happen? Thanks in advance for your reply

Wonderful! The wait is killing me!

Hello everyone! While waiting for an ATFLIR for the USNAVY Hornets, it would be fantastic to adapt the A-10C LITENING to the Marines Hornets. I hope the development team will give us a little thought.

Ok, it's official: Heatblur you have become my heroes!!!

Chuck, You are my myth!!!! Thank you a lot of times!!!!

Hello everyone. In the mission editor I try to select Switzerland as blue (with red is the same) to fly with a Swiss F-18, but it seems that it is not possible. It's a known limitation or it's just my problem. Thanks for your kind attention.

This is strange! I tried the sparrow (AIM-7M) with the F-15C for three consecutive missions (very simple scenario: head on vs single high level Mig-29 without missiles): three successes (the Mig was hit at distances between 10- 20 nm and only in one case I had to use two sparrow). I try the sparrow with the F18 for the same three missions with the same opponent and ... disaster!! The missiles, exhausted the thrust of the engine, veer left or right without logic! P.S. I have always been forced to destroy the Mig with a sidewinder. Also according to me there is something wrong with the simulation of the sparrow used by the F-18.

Many many many and many congrats!!!! Beautiful module. Keep it going!!!!

Hello everyone! Allow me to open a thread to say congratulations to the development team of the Persian Gulf scenario. Cities are evocative and the effects are truly realistic, especially those related to light and volumetries. Good job!! Now, it would be optimal if we could also update the type of aircraft in the air forces present in the scenario. Saudi Arabia: F-15C and F-15E; Iran: F-14 and F-4; UAE: Mirage 2000. You could also add some livery to the F-16s of Turkey or Jordan. A big thanks and ... keep it up!!!!
