From declassified German manual. obviously doesn’t list the the range wheel on top or the inboard/outboard weapon pylon selector button in front

You can see the pitch channel giving inputs as speed changes 5-6 kmh when engaged?

Only the YakB has 1400 kg recoil. The 7.62 GshG has a smaller amount

While it is emergency procedure for lost generators, it is only for 30-60 minute RTB using battery and APU, since each last only 30 minutes If you look in the Cold War museum manual at what is powered by the generators, and what can be powered by battery/APU gen with everything turned on, you will see that batttery/APU gen cannot cover every thing that the huge generators can. For example gyroscopes, they need the high voltage of the 240 VAC 400 hz generators. Nothing else can do this. So you cannot turn them off if you have generator failure. You just have to fly without them This line from it “The DC system and AC inverters can be operated on the ground with the main engines shut down using the APU starter / generator.” the inverter turns AC to DC, so there is still no proper full powered AC source with just battery and APU gen It also says that in emergency mode, which usually kicks in automatically, only IFF/radar alt/RWR/jammer/vibration/fuel gauge/red lights/PTIT are powered However, AP depends on gyros. Just reading it, it says that 36 VAC 3-phase transformers give the gyro 1 power. And that in emergency mode (PT-125 inverter on) gyro 2 is given power. So maybe try switching the gyro selection from vertical gyro 1 to vertical gyro 2 However, AP still needs 36 VAC at 400 hz to operate. So the 115 VAC transformer is imperative here Official instructions for double generator failure are “-set switches of both generators, rectifiers and transformers to the OFF position; -open the caps and set switches PT-750A and PT-125U of the inverters to the ON position; -Select selector switches TRANSFORMER -115V, TRANSFORMER 36V, PRESS GAUGE XFMR to the STBY position; -Switch oťf all electric power consumers which are not required under given circumstances; in all cases' the controi instruments ťor power plant, fuel gage, vertical gyro No. 1 with roll and pitch indicator shall remain switched on, as well as the heating of LFI pitot tube at an outside air temperature oť 5.' C and lower.” start the AI.9B engine (it is allowed up to an altitude of 4,000 m), set switches APU GEN and POWER FROM BATT to the ON position and check voltage in the helicopter onboard power system as per voltmeter. Discontinue tlre mission and perťorm landing on own airfield, the nearest airfield or a selected landing pad proceeding from the 30-min maximum time of continuous operation of AI-9B APU;……… Power reserve oť the batteries is enough to energize the consumers connected to battery bus for about 9 min of flight (for I min - with search-and-landing light and taxiing light turned on).

But doesn’t J-35 maneuver require a roll moment/input to create the necessary conditions?

While I don’t completely trust wiki and the same page claims MiG-21 can cobra, I understand the mentions of it being used in the memoirs of Draken pilots. But I wonder what the limitations are, I had heard it needed roll to enter and you can sort of see this in the video.

Same happened to me on same mission.. I think it might be issue with mission or even the intention that you can’t find anything. I would recommend posting in the section for that campaign because then the creator will be able to respond to you

In a cursory search all I could find was a comparison of 400/450/500 kmh glide angles. Showing 500 kmh as the best glide speed for range. I might read the section around the graphic later and see if it specifies the 400-450 Kmh as best endurance gliding speed

Even the direction of light is modeled on Petro’s ability to view targets. I can see something like angle of the sun throwing Petro off and perhaps it’s over modeled or something, but hard to tell without track I submitted a track about referencing clutter once, and i think it helped ED at the time understand what sort of delays to build into the system based off of clutter also

Tell petrovich to look at a spot in gunsight area and see if Petro can skew it or if it’s off. Sometimes when it’s only half bad, Petro may be able to target the left or right half of your nose, but not both

In addition, MiG-29K is FBW and is more unstable then MiG-29 9.12

Interesting, I wonder if it would change with ground power

Right now in DCS and since release you can choose to have 2-4 GUV-machine gun pods loaded on Mi-24P. Each pod has 3 Gatling guns, 2x 7.62 Gsh and 1x YakB Gatling gun you would also find in the nose or Mi-24D/V So you can already experience this Gatling gun with Mi-24P in DCS. Even 2-4 of them. Along with twice as many 7.62 Gatling mini guns shooting next to them! Yoy just cannot slew them, but CCIP will work for YakB in Mi-24D/V the operator can slew them, but we will not get those models in DCS anytime soon

I don’t really consider what J-35 does a Cobra. What you see is a special stall that happens when you give a little aileron with a lot of elevator. It causes this stall and if not recovered from quickly will cause an unrecoverable deep stall. The video you see is two seaters because this is only done in training so that new pilots can understand how this stall happens and how to recover At no point do I think a J-35 pilot ever said: let me do a Cobra maneuver as a acrobatic move or a combat move to get a missile solution With MiG-29, pressing AP off for 3 seconds will disconnect damper. Thus You can do high AOA, but it is debatable if it is a “cobra” or not. Or even of Pugachev. There is a story that MiG-29 development team had been doing these high AOA excursions, Pugachev saw this. Then applied it to Su-27 which was the first one capable of 90-110 degree AOA. You will never reach that high AOA in DCS or likely real life with a MiG-29. I think with MiG-29, you will not really get higher then 45-60 degrees unless you go so slow you incorporate a tail slide into it

Sorry no, As mentioned Petro may close the sight early enough during gentle maneuvered but often too late for more violent ones. Sometimes vice versa, it’s unpredictable; and why it’s more of a “backup” than something designed to be 100%. In this case when Petro closes the sight, Petro is only closing the doors and caging the gyroscope which already had a 3.5 minute alignment. If the 30 degree bank angle or around 20 degree/s rotation is exceeded while doors open and gyros are toppled, they need time to settle down with everything off and then turned back on. I believe the main gyroscope spins 60,000 rpm, so takes a while to slow down and completely “reset” after the guidance system is shut off. A small topple, where periscope is only a few degrees off, may only need 30-40 seconds of guidance unit off before you can turn the guidance back on. But if badly toppled, will need a full 3 minutes. So I usually suggest if toppled no matter how much to turn it off for 3.5 minutes then back on for 3.5 minutes, taking 7 minutes total to “repair.”

They are not described in any manual I can find quickly. It’s possibly just a different equipment fit. There are many different configurations even for same variant when it comes to instrument panel warning lights and gauges. Notice they say 0, so not hooked up

Both knobs only change what is displayed in the gauge above them. Is that what you mean? Seems OP is wondering about gauged to the left (forward?)? From Cold War museum manual: AC generator: 111-138 amps 203-204 V under no load 115 VAC: 112-118 volts Rectifiers: 24-30 V Battery: 21-28 amps

Sight is 7 and 22 degree FOV. Petro gives “in range” cue at 5 in for Shturm and 6 km for Ataka Side gunner you would hear. The arc is hard as they can’t point up much or back. You want to see target in window low from back to side view mirror

The periscope has limits of +/-30 degrees bank. Anytime you exceed 20-30 degrees bank, you want to press down short to make Petro close the periscope. It can also break the gyros from moving too fast in pitch and yaw, but the airplane is only unstable enough for this to happen at low speeds I think Miki might’ve mentioned, that by turning of the periscope for 3-4 minutes and turning it back on will fix the toppled gyros @Flappie Awesome graphic for showing how the gyros are toppled!

The radar switchology itself is very complex and not well represented in FC3. Want to switch between Radar and IRST BVR/CC modes? Not bad, knob by left of lower HUD. Want to change radar PRF or radar BVR/CC mode? Knob in front of left knee. Want to do TWS and select its PRF? Separate switch to the right of that knob. Want Radar to block up dropped IRST lock and vice versa like FC3 does automatically? This needs a switch flipped under the radar mode/delta H knobs (you’ll need to look down quite a bit to change radar elevation without binds, and won’t have the fine increments you have in FC3, just +1/2/4/6/8/10, and -1/2/4/6). But it gets better, flip the switch for radar/IRST cooperation and now radar it is locked in MPRF mode which has nominal range of 20-30 km! Are they jamming? You’ll need to turn jamming compensation on or off. There is a lot of complicity in controls and intricacies of the sensors operation trendy is just bypassed in FC3.

You said in another thread that “Just gentle turn away from targets , your hear him say Sight off . !! Sorry didnt mean to jump this .” Are you pressing down shirt to close sight before exceeding 30 degree bank? While Petrovich will turn right off on his own, it won’t always do it before the sight breaks. To me, Petro closing the sight from high back/cyclic is backup, and down short is main way

ED has to do it. In addition, there are two Mi-24 AI models. A 24V and a newer 24P. They may act differently

Are you’ve flying against AI or player aircraft? Big difference

All the volt and amp meters show correctly. In the Cold War air museum manual it tells you normal readings for each gauge. The two far on the left bottom are for generator, they only show low voltage readings anyways. The two top left are for battery amps, and only show when battery is on and also very low readings. The two top middle are APU Gen (which is very rarely on so normally shows zero), and the DC voltage, which only shows if you select it to be displayed on the selector below. Below that you have AC Gen volts, which only shows if generators work. Then your ammeter right of that is for anti ice. So very often most will show no or very low readings. Source from the wonderful chucks guide…..

Yes, it sets attitude hold and tells AP what center cyclic deflection should be. Hover attitude is about 2-4 degrees up usually outside of heavy wind. Press trim, get into that attitude or Atleast stable, release trim. Or you can even switch the first two steps by getting into that attitude, then rapidly pressing and releasing trim
