OverStratos

He seems to have a control related problem, not a module one. First he need to look "game mode" or "simulation mode" as Bignewy told him before. Then check the throttle assignments, as the ones by default are never good.

Only early series MiG-19P had the 23mm cannons. They were later replaced by the same NR-30 cannons of the MiG-19S but without muzzle brakes. Razbam MiG-19P is a late version updated to also use R-3S AA missiles. When you say that it can only use one rocket pod, do you mean one per wing? Also, Germans never had MiG-19P, only S and PMs.

MiG-19P Update: - Увеличена до 500 км/ч скорость, при которой происходит автоматическая уборка закрылков. При снижении скорости до 500 км/ч теперь происходит автоматический выпуск закрылков, если выбрано положение "посадка" или "взлёт". - Выпущен набор для создания собственных вариантов окраски МиГ-19П. - Добавлено руководство на русском языке. - Добавлены альтернативные текстуры кабины. Теперь их можно выбрать в особых настройках модуля. (заменяют скачанные с сайта DCS, которые теперь можно удалить) - Новые изображения в главном меню и на экране загрузки.

OB = Open Beta

The MiG-23 airframe was used for two main types of aircraft: frontline fighter/interceptor and ground attack variants. Most know fighter variants were the MF, ML and MLD. These were mainly focused on air-to-air combat, but can also use most Soviet non guided rockets and bombs and the radio guided Kh/X-23 missile. The bomber variants were the MiG-23B, BN and MiG-27. These lacked the radar having a laser rangefinder and much better forward visibility. Later variants of the MiG-27 were able to use PGMs and ARMs. There was also the MiG-23UB two seater training aircraft.

Russian language manual should be available in the next OB update. Google Translator: Руководство по русскому языку должно быть доступно в следующем обновлении OB.

I wonder why those pilots seem to omit the plethora of characteristics in which the Su-27 is vastly superior to the MiG-23MLD, including the radar. Regarding the baseline R-27 I can tell that it´s also superior to the R-24. The R-23 is equivalent to the AIM-7E, while the R-24 is close enough to the AIM-7F in high altitude range and about equal at low altitude. Both the R-23 and 24 use monopulse seekers, that the Sparrow only got in the M version.

AFAIK, the only armament that MiG-23MLD shares with the MiG-29 is the R-73 as R-27s were never added. This leaves the MLD with the same R-24s for BVR as the MLA, giving the R-27 armed MiG-29 the edge. Also, I don´t understand what you mean by "barely keeping up".

It is, particularly during turns (ITR and STR), were it´s not bleeding speed as it should pass a certain G load and AOA. It also needs limitations and consequences added to the top speed limit. Aircraft aerodynamic deceleration parameters(-Nx) are within 2-5% of the real aircraft deceleration performance charts, both with airbrakes or without them. We are working to improve this, but right now it could be considered good enough. We have detailed data to work on the MiG-19 flight model and this is verifiable in the current iteration available. More work is being made to shorten even more the gap between simulated and real performance. The fuel cutoff valves need indeed electrical power. The valves charged with closing fuel flow to the engines are electro-pneumatic valves. They use compressed air from the pneumatic system to close the fuel flow. There´s a really small chance from battery power to be cut from this system.

From the pilot´s manual, when the aircraft is approaching max AOA, the pilot should stop pulling and let the stick move forward slightly. Visually, this means to allow Gs to decrease slightly as this aircraft doesn´t has an AOA meter. This allows to recover lateral stability and the aircraft will keep turning at a good rate. If an increase in speed is noticed this means you can pull more.

Regarding the "wing flex" visual effect, you won't see it on this aircraft. Because of the wing thickness and design, it is really sturdy so it won't flex enough for this to be visible. We are sorry, but we won't use arcady effects to make our modules look cooler, we are entitled with realism in DCS.

Sorry people, I'm not a PR guy, so I apologize if my post is somehow crude. I'm not also a native english speaker so I try to do my best to explain stuff. As it was pointed out many times before by me, we can't work on a FM with "feel" data neither fix it. The MiG-19P FM is based on the MiG-19S practical aerodynamics manual which is equivalent to a Western performance manual. Many aspects of the FM were tunned specifically for the P variant which is draggier and heavier than the S. Most of the FM behavior in the aircraft now is correct, this includes under high AOA situations, turn and pitch rate, etc. Still to include are several aircraft limitations in regarding to maneuvering, landing and engines as well as the ITR and STR performance. If anyone still has doubts about the MiG-19 FM you are welcome to open a new thread with your proof, I will make it a sticky and we will happily discuss there. I just want to point out that please bring charts and documentation as proof. Regarding our proof, there's is a thread in this sub-forum with enough info about the 19 FM quality. Pardon me if I don't provide the link, but I'm writing from my phone. About the M2000 and Harrier FM I'm sorry but I don't know anything about that as they are not my work. However, comparing those FMs to the MiG-19 one is not correct as the later was done with gained experience, new knowledge and new tools.

Thanks for the list. I was looking for the issues in the forums to check if I don't miss any for our bug list. This pretty much resumes all the important aspects. Also, even if the issues are easy to fix, coders have an schedule and right now the first modules are the ones that need attention. Soon it will be the MiG-19 turn.

All the issues that remain in the MiG-19 will be fixed and also some new features will also be added. These includes more tunning to the FM for an even more realistic ITR and STR behavior, better engine simulation, dedicated sounds and many more. Currently all the coding force is focusing on the modules that arrived before the MiG-19P, so as soon as they are available work will continue on it.

I understand but I don't agree. Discord gives the oportunity to more directly evacuate your doubts and recieve quick answers as it is a more direct communication method. You just go there and post your question. Official statements and status updates will always be posted here off course.

You should really go to our Discord, these discussions are taking place there all the time.

Well, I guess you could always set your airquake to be in a determined era and since every "modernity" is always preceded by another. :) But, yeah I understand.

It will be competitive with everything you have in DCS now unless they are armed with active AAMs of corse, and even then it should not be imposible either.

You are just talking here about the beam properties of the radar without taking into account that the antenna actually moves so it sweeps the space in front of it. The N003 search sweep cover +30°/-35° in elevation and 60° in azimuth. This can change in dependence of the radar mode. As this radar belongs to the firsts to use Doppler signals for look-down, anything under 1km altitude is detected below the distance of 30km.

All of those capabilities you mention are equally good in any type of warfare. Tanks themselves were designed to be breakthrough weapons, so they are not a good example. Also, it´s easy to counter the argument if I say that those "offensive" capabilities you mention were there just to retake positions after a NATO offensive.

Thanks Dougall! I'm really glad that you like the module.:thumbup:

And those tables still doesn't show entirely the performance of the MiG-23MLA. Also, the only MLDs that had structural modifications were the Soviet ones.

There are not offensive or deffensive weapons, it's the way you use those weapons what determines that.

No, it won't stay like this. All the issues that Rudel mentions are legit and they will be fixed. Please keep in mind that the Harrier and Mirage have more priority now as they were first in the line. For those that are worried about the FM, there have been more than enough comparisons between the real performance charts and simulated ones in this forum. More than 60 additions to FM modelling reflected in changelogs, abundant technical disscusions in our Discord channel. The current FM includes a quite complex overload and engine simulation. You could also read CYLON post above. About those asking for the paintkit, please understand that it is a free feature that developers are not forced to deliver. With more time it will be made available. There are a few more things that need to be enabled in the FM yet as well. These will be posted in the changelogs as updates roll up.
