'flying Straight" will still result in in Gyro calculation based on Set target range so in this case Gravity drop and a fixed value of trajectory shift based on speed/Altitude i.e TAS component also input to the sight via the thumb wheel controls in a separate box.

Ok understand ref priorities :)

Here is track pretty much as I recall what was demoed to the Student then his turn. Ideally no more than 12 Alpha to the vertical then alpha as required to keep the nose moving over the top. Config Clean + 2 AIM9 which for us was the standard training OCU config. F1812alphaloop.trk

Yes I know were you are coming from ref possible AOA Hang ups over the top etc. We (many moons ago) used to use it as confidence building type thing ... just how slow can you loop it type thing. The 12 Alpha is really the initial pull to the vertical, over the top the usual caveat to ensure positive pitch rate... lest the AOA hangup snare you.

The current manual does not describe the function of the Nav control panel. Specifically what exactly does the Nav control switch (5) in positions NAV and DME and OVRD do ?

What number 12 Alpha or 180kias ... either one is correct.

""fair & honest" ACM" no such thing..... and we are talking BFM anyway :) If you get close quarter to the point were you are genuinely scissoring (like in guns only environment) be it Horizontal or rolling its all about controlling forward vector in relation to the bandits forward vector, and your best tool for that is placement of the lift vector and max performing the jet. You use whatever tools are available to you .... and rudder in this environment can be a great friend.

Rudder is one of the Hornets trump cards to get your nose going were you want it even the FCS uses it :) Dont unload in a flat scissors ..... you will end up in front Yes especially High AOA use rudder prodigiously. Loaded reversals are the way to go.If it were me in Full burner. Rolling scissors Aim to keep your lift vector behind the opponent, do what it takes to achieve that Rudder as well. Looping from that sort of speed use whatever G you want into 12 alpha as you get slow. You can loop an A model Hornet from 180KIAS .... just use 12 Alpha.

Looking at the C-101CC Gyro control panel the Variation setting (Item 2) only has 3 selections 15E, 0 and 15W .... how do you deal with Variation values that are different to these ? Given its a Flux valve based system (in slaved mode) is this switch even relevant ?

DME hold switch doesn't work in my install. I tune Batumi TAC/DME 135.9, DME shows up just fine on the HSI. I then select DME hold. Then as soon as I rotate the NAV freq tumblers the DME display blanks out. if I retune 135.9 DME comes back. So for me I cannot hold the DME display.

Controls Indicator unticked did it .. Danke

I have None selected alas they are still there ... so is there some other hidden option ?

How to I remove these things from the display ?

The trim sensitivity issues have been reported. Regarding the Stick moving in the video this is because in the MIG29 (unlike in western types) the Damping system input is also fed direct back to the pilot. This is discussed in this fascinating interview with Luftwaffe MIG29 test pilot:

errr I think you mean residual pressure in the lines ?? Turning the Main Air valve OFF isolates the Main Air from the system

This has been in the Master Bug list for a while still yet to be completely fixed

Be nice to see the EOS acquisition cursor being rotated through 90 degree to reflect what it looks like IRL.... that is a vertically oriented rectangle.

Absolutely fantastic great effort ! Love the older style cockpit ... better than the current iteration

HUD is always caged in AA mode

Ahh the Vortex generator Chang .... small world :) we browse the same forums

Basic Nav system in stock 9.12/9.13 Fulcrum allows the pilot to Nav to 3 Wypts and 3 Airfields that are remotely programmed into the Nav computer by an interface box in an equipment bay outside the aeroplane. The pilot then uses 6 push buttons om the Nav control panel to select the reference Waypoint or airfield he wants steering to. In terms of radio Nav he can select using the RSBN system (Like TACAN) any desired channel and get range and bearing to the selected RSBN staion (we cant do this in DCS). He can also use the ADF to select any of 8 NDBS again remotely coded (same system as in the YAK52) again we cant use this in DCS. Obviously later mod variants have more sophisticated RNAV systems.

Great if this comes to be .... Its been suggested for years but so far nothing seen, check these thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=149298
