CCIP and Auto should still be pretty accurate since its only really using AGR and own ship present velocities. Same goes for Auto if the designation is refined .. I mean that was the only option in the early pre GPS Hornet days . Any INS errors would be very slight and would hardly effect weapons solution. Pre GPS days in the A model INS drift post flight un updated after say 1 hrs flight were only in the order of 1nm max with perhaps 3Kts residual ground speed.... and these with analog INS systems not the laser system in the updated C. As to TACAN update .. forget it you are biasing the INS position on an incredibly inaccurate source. Not forgetting you must have the TACAN station you are using both tuned and in the TACAN station update data base. Only updates worthwhile are the Overfly or perhaps Radar update using Expand modes. Any update has to be carefully decided on a Dud one might very well make your issue worse.

Do runway hook cables exist anywhere in DCS world or the Mission editor ?

Its been many moons since I used the expand modes (circa 1986.... pre GPS etc) however a diff I notice between old real world and DCS is this: You have a Designated tgt (be it WPTDGS or Radar map Designation whatever) You select one of the EXP modes say EXP2 You see the EXP 2 build over the designated point with the "stabilsed cue" over the designation. You refine the designation using the designation cursors The instant you release the TDC the display should immediately erase and the new EXP map should build with the stabilsed cue on the revised designation point. What you see in DCS is an awkward pause with the exp map still shown with the stabilsed cue still over the original position ... This just shouldn't happen and is confusing. The map eventually erases and slowly builds over the new position with the stabilsed cue on the new designation point. Never ever used the FRZ option (never had a reason to). Practically you could say in EXP2 or 3 (at say 10nm 30 deg off the nose) see the hookcable support structures and designate the centre of the rwy abeam the hookcable. Then fly an approach with the HUD diamond exactly where you placed it (+- say 3mins of INS drift). You could easily designate in EXP3 to an accuracy of +-70feet from 10nm. From the last Century

Marianas included: SyriaCyprusMarianas_Afld_ID_Mig29.pdf

All RAAF,RCAF,Spanish Hornets have VOR/ILS and associated DME capability Think the same applies for Finnish,Swiss and Kuwaiti Hornets as well.

Updated Syria map Airfield ID numbers in Mig 29, to include Cyprus and new Turkish airfields. Note Naqoura used to be ID 41 this is now Gazipassa. Naqoura now ID 51 SyriaCyprus_Afld_ID_Mig29_ver2.7.2.pdf

"for example: the very first fighter in the world to get a proper operational datalink is the Su-27 and surprisedly Su-27 in DCS don’t link Datalink between a group of them in Multiplayer. What a pure coincidence right…? " You sure about that ? ..... Swedish STIRL system used a pretty capable DL systemas early as the Draken. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/swedish-air-force-datalink-history-and-gripen-link-16-integration-described-by-czech-air-force-article.33880/

Hope they help

Still getting crashes. Don't have Scripts sub folder and don't have an Export.lua file

Even the Humble Mirage III could do 750Kts IAS on the deck

I restarted and Markings are back. Either way its a bug though it would seem a random one.

Just noticed the New rain sound associated with new cloud presets. The rain sound continues for quite a while after you climb above the rain cloud. Same on descent the rain sounds before entering cloud or being in rain.

Err I would have thought the lower RPM for Long range and the higher RPM for short range ?

Open Beta Ver 2.7 I havent checked all the airfields but think its Global on the Nevada map. (Caucus,Persian Gulf,Syria all ok) Nellis and McCarran runways and raxi ways are devoid of all Runway and taxiway markings.

The force in CW illumination is still strong young padawan

Damper tweaks in Ver 2.7 imo make the MIG29 a much nicer aeroplane down final. The pitch sensitivity to both pilot input and config changes is much improved. it sits there quire nicely on the Glide slope with much less tendency to oscillate in pitch.

Just checked some of the Syrian ID's and they differ from the main list in Slip Havocs post. I used the MIG29 to verify these. They are as of Version 2.7 Open Beta. Same table as above in PDF Syria_Afld_ID_Mig29.pdf

Some extra ones for Syria based on Update 2.7 34 Rosh Pina 35 Sayqal 36 Shayrat 37 Tabqa 38 Tafttanaz 39 Tiyas 40 Wujah Al Hajar (same as 33 ? one may be Heliport) 41 Naqoura (H)

Its a limitation. Rwy and Approach lights are Time dependent only. It would be nice to Have a ATC option for the pilot to call for them.

After the change to the PFM and new cockpit a few changes to the MIG29 came along and a few omissions. It would be nice (pending a full detail MIG29 model) that a few things were corrected NAV SYSTEM Please some waypoint numbers in the HUD (A la SU25T). These numbers should reflect the active/selected Waypoint in ENR mode and the Airfield ID number (which should be published for each map) in RTN and LNDG modes.(This should be carried on to the SU27/33 as well ... at least the map in the 27/33 allows you to have a rough idea what you are steering to) HSI ILS NEEDLES At present the HSI ILS needles only come alive at around 8Km when on a Russian ILS even though the HUD K and r mode annunciations appear together with the deviation circle. The ILS HSI needles should come alive as soon as valid ILS signals are received, and the OFF flags are removed. Also the HSI ILS needles should be centered when not in operation with OFF flags visible. At present they park in the bottom left corner of the HSI. This can be verified by any MIG29 cockpit image/video either on the ground or airborne. AIRSPEED INDICATOR (ASI) This has a White sector in the 12 O'Clock area that has a Number 1 in it. The Needle will only go around once then stops at 1000Kmh. The White window should be black and without a numeral for airspeeds below 1000kmh. As you go past 1000Kmh the sector should uncover to reveal a 1 then the needle continues along. so at 1200KMH the needle will be on 2 with the sector uncovered with a 1 so the IAS can be read as 1 200. TRIM Can the trim rate and or amount be adjusted to allow precise trimming. At present any trim application results in over trimming the other way. COCKPIT LIGHTING Can the internal instrument lighting be made a little brighter. Be nice if the flood lighting was just slightly increased as well. FUEL SYSTEM WING DROP TANKS Given the fuel feed sequence is now correct (Thank you ED). The jettison system needs a little work. At present you can only jettison all 3 tanks together. You cant jettison the wing tanks separately. IRL there is a dedicated jettison button for just the centreline on the stick. Wing drop tanks IRL have a dedicated Guarded jettison push button on the main panel just below the AOA/G gauge. If you try to jettison the WDT by the stores jettison the order results in anything on the outboard wings going first ! A suggested fix. "Jettison tanks" command should only apply to the centreline tank. Provide an additional command "Jettison WDT" would be nice. MIG29G This is weird as its now just MIG29A with HUD IAS in Knots and HUD altimeter in feet ... everything else in the cockpit in KMH and Metres ! ... No TACAN anymore either.

Just revisiting the MIG29. (and loving it). Why is it that when performing an ILS to an airfield equipped with a Russian ILS system in LDG sub mode that the HSI ILS needles only come alive at around 9Km ? Yet the FD circles in the HUD and the fD bars on the ADI all come in to view when you go into LNDG mode and the H and r HUD legends appear. I would have thought all would be displayed at the same time. HSI ILS needles appearing at 9Km is a bit useless

The DME component of a VORDME station is not working on any map. Seems if the DME section of the coding has been missed. It would also seem that ILSDME has not been coded at all. The DME component in a VORTAC works just fine.

Is the speed command pointer enabled in the 101CC ? I would think that IRL it would only operate say with Gear down then ref the AOA On speed ? Doesn't seem to work at all in the Sim

Running Simple Radios. Persian gulf map 20nm from Fujairah where I want to land. I bring up the ATC comms menu to call inbound ... F1 through F10 has every airfield but the one I am closest to Fujairah ! So how do I get Fujairah listed to call inbound ??

Both VORDME and ILSDME should be sorted by the devs in DCS maps.
