Yup, and now you can recover faster or prevent it better!!!!!

It’s hands written! A pilot could write as small as they want!!!! Warthunder???? lol, if I was a pilot drawing on my map o surely wouldn’t write instructions for different legs on top of each other making it impossible to read!!!!!!!!!

You’re guide to the altitude and speed holds! https://youtu.be/AB11evVlqo0

Any suggestions of things to add?

Well it’s 12 km head in against MiG-21, which is pretty small and one medium size engine. It’s more like an upscaled R-73 sensor, the R-60 uses same type of sensor as AIM-9B just better. The R-73 and KOLS use a cross type sensor that is much more flare resistant, and while R-73 sensor is a single sensor, the KOLS has 14 separate PbSe sensors, 4 in a cross and 10 in a line, and the cross ones spins at like 3000 rpm for accuracy Against side and tail aspect fighters in DCS, which seems to be pretty much in the ball park (can’t lock F-16 until within 10 km, worse then manual statement), I often get 35-45 km in DCS. So we’ll see. It’s also exciting that we’ll be able to turn up or down the gain, might help acquire someone at long range with a clear background.

Yeah, and only missing radar mode is SP which even domestic models were made without sure third batch. Radar, TP, CC, Helm, Opt, Fi0, toss, 6 modes!! Every manual I have read fire all the sub variants sure identical radar range

Wonder if anyone has more insight then I have been able to glean from manuals. In FC3, I’m sure I’m not the only one that likes to constantly switch sensors. If I am in position to have IRST lock, but need to get closer, I might acquire with radar, switch to IRST, then either fire fox 2 when ready or fire fox 1 and have it switch to radar leading. And I’m sure EVERYONE has to atleast do this to IFF an IRST target. And for FF, this won’t change in that, as long as IRST is leading, you won’t get IFF. So, unlike FC3, where one sensor will pick up lost lock of other in any mode, this only happens in IRL and FF if we flip the cooperation/interaction switch forward, which will lock radar to MPRF. And HUD scale to 25 km. This seems like a meaningless gimp and asinine and dumb! Right? But it almost makes sense, MPRF range is anywhere from 18-35 km depending on altitude, background, RCS, etc, so this roughly lines up with IRST range well, though I expect many times to have IRST outrange against a rear aspect AB target. So, let’s say we acquire with IRST and need to IFF, or acquire with radar and go to silent running with IRST? After all, there are no simple radar and IRST on/off switches like FC3 leads us to expect. What I’ve figured out so far is…….. TP (IRST) mode: Switches to radar if Fox 1 selected Permanently switches to radar if Press lock before laser range RL mode: Select Fox 2 and move SUV knob to TP will switch to TP leading IF TP selected and entered RL by selecting Fox 1, selectingFox 2 will go back to TP leading Its possible TP may be forced temporarily by lowering gun trigger I also have a hunch that even without the cooperation switch, Fox 1 selection might just switch to radar no matter what. Manuals mention this frequently enough. And Su-27 does same thing. Also, complications that, I don’t know for sure but it’s possible that even without interaction/coop switch the radar may take up to 8 seconds to range an IRST target beyond laser range. Or it might be instant as long as coop switch is on It’s a shame it can’t IFF while doing its 3 seconds ranging pulses…… So, if out of Fox 1, sucks to be you If out of fox2, also sucks to be you! I wonder if you fire your last fox 1, it switches to TP, you lose TP lock, then it switch back to radar as long as coop switch is forward It’ll be interesting to see how it’s implemented on release! It’s the big unknown for me along with things like “will RWR be able to tell you about missile launches” and “will RWR actually put PD fighters in medium range SAM category beyond 20 km, or both categories light up.”

Every Mi-24 manual I have e read says keep it in MK unless above 70 degrees latitude or around magnetic anomalies. Mi-8 is a little different. That’s all.

Yes, mag deviation changes with date I prefer to stay in MK mode for accuracy

But wouldn’t it send out pseudo CW and datalink at same time? I don’t see why it would separate them

Hello, this video covers the unintentional “Cobra maneuver” of the Mi-24 when pulling back on the cyclic, why it happens, and how to prevent and recover from it!!!!!! With this you should be able to turn and burn to its maximum performance!!!!! Enjoy the opening!!!!!!!! https://youtu.be/cxVypUj-_Lk?si=dx0trxzmsfCz_dw5

MiG-29 radar is weird. as far as I can tell, 65 degree azimuth limits is only for search, it goes to 70 degrees as soon as you track. Sam for elevation, only -36 degrees in search, goes to -45 in track. I would only really use the downward limit for tracking a low target from high altitude or lofting R-27R/ER

Fly and wire gives from 10 nm at low Altitude to 16 nm at high. This seems quite over estimated to me though, I have gotten away with half these values

It represents the gimbal limit. So when on left/right border of the HUD the target is 70 degrees to the side. When at the top/bottom the target is 60 degrees to the top/bottom. In the FF though the top/bottom borders will actually represent 45 degrees, as the radar can only point 45 degrees down. Since gimbal limit is represented by diamond in FF, it will be a bit harder to use on a left crank as the HUD has no right border, and thus you will need to look at the HDD to see the right HUD border there for FF.

I understand. Just thought I could help. Regardless my AP document could serve as a thorough manual for the AP system. And some of my YouTube videos can provide information for other respects. And anyone is free to pick my mind for other stuff.

I am your manual!!!! What you want to know?? I wrote a guide on autopilot and weapons, translated the aerodynamic manual, and have a YouTube with currently 6 videos about the Mi-24. I’ll answer any question you have! https://youtube.com/@aeriagloria?si=Kod06Sp_eegzBJe7

Doesn’t work in FC3 or in FF. in FC3, the R-27R/ER goes completely dumb as soon as you exceed gimbal limits. Going back into them before memory mode expires does not fix this. In FF. It should completely drop the lock. What? The circle should give you perfect gimbal limits in FC3 29. When it reaches the HUD borders you’re at the limit. It’s just not there with IRST lock. And you didn’t say you meant only for FC3!!!!! The only way you’re going to work off bullseye with MiG-29 is if it’s set as your waypoint. Here target is within 12 degree HUD area, so circle is relatively close to center

1. In a mission, fly a specific altitude, airspeed, over a specific landmark pitch up to a specific angle at about 1.4 G. 2. fire the rockets and press active pause to use ruler and see how far the rocket type goes 3. Write down the distance with the altitude and speed you started at Usually 20 or 30 degrees is best.

I was reading recently that it does take the parallax into account, and even takes wing bending into account.

The most complicated part will be switching between Radar and IRST lock. It’s pretty complex all the different ways it can be done.

I do know that the scroll wheel has a press action to enter range. So perhaps you see no range number and/or bar, you press the wheel and they show up. You scroll it to choose range then press it again to enter into the system and the numbers and/or range bar then disappear.

Brazilian missile never happened. They couldn’t make it due to US sanctions on the needed anti radiation equipment. Replaced with LD-10

HUD: No target speed/alt without datalink. No target overlayed symbol. Right side of HUD is only on IPV/HDD. Symbology is only correct for level flight. Heading tape goes away with lock. No radar mode displayed, can only tell by fixed radar range in each mode. No target aspect in IRST mode, IRST mode ranging is uncertain beyond 6.5 km and might take 8 seconds or alert enemy RWR. No specific ATK symbol to show memory mode. Bar scanned on HDD/IPV. Rhombus is radar gimbal limit. RWR: No EWR or AWACs categories. Sides and rear have less range then front. 50/90 doesn’t show target at 60-80 degrees but actually 80-100 degrees and only at close range, 50 light only at medium to long range. PD fighters are misplaced in medium range SAM category until close range. Presence of missile tag showing estimate of enemy attack distance. Signal strength no longer shows linear distance but exponential. Possible blinding at close range. Elevation showing only works at close range. Low SHORAD priority. Sensor interaction: You do not have simple on/off control of radar and IRST to switch primary sensor. What is primary sensor will be decided by placement of SUV knob, whether in search or track mode, selected weapon, if laser range is present, and placement of interaction switch. In addition, one sensor will only pick up the lost lock of another sensor if you turn on interaction switch. Which locks radar to MPRF. Some things for people to expect

I have a YouTube where I’ve been releasing helpful videos for the Mi-24, I plan to switch to MiG-29 shortly before its release. I first plan videos best speeds and most efficient BVR profile, then perhaps RWR and HUD, sensor interaction use, etc

Another thing I have no idea how will they model it, if selecting Fox 1 forces you’re radar on. Meaning switching SUV mode will only work with Fox 2 selected. Also who knows if they mode the SPO-15 only having 90 degree light up with 50 at close range, and at medium to long range a radar at 90 degrees only lights up 50 light. Or if PD fighters will be in Hawk category until close range 15-20 km. Also don’t know about altimeter, their pre order video shows altimeter as exact as FC3. But watch videos of the HUD and you will see baro alt only does 100s, and radar alt only does 10s. I was talking earlier about how the HUD basically shows symbology as if you are level, here is a video showing it. He locks a target and turns right with 90 degree bank. Does the gimbal indicator and missile circle move down where the target is? No, it drifts to the left of the HUD reflecting it hitting the 70 degree gimbal limit of the radar. I think Su-27 can do it like we have in FC3 where it shows true direction partly because its radar has 60 degree gimbal limits in every direction. There is also this description of the HUD in L-18 manual, but combines IPV/HDD and HUD. Shows IFF symbol though. But on an old software update. There was a late 80s software update, a software update I’m sure we will get as it has other features like KMOD and R-27ER support that have been promised. This software update changed the IFF “C” from the left to the top middle of the HUD. It also switched around the large and small circles for a few things which has lead to so many things disagreeing on what they are used for. I bet people on release will wonder why they can’t shoot at a target, and miss the IFF “C” in the middle!
