AeriaGloria

Went through manual, R-862 which receives the radio link has range of 120-350 km depending on altitude. Should be interesting Not going to address everything else you wrote, but in my experience S-25O is very destructive. It may have a low LUA value but there is C++ coding behind that in DCS so LUA can’t always be trusted. Here is a picture a single S-25 did to many trucks Unfortunately, I don’t think we get that weapon in MiG-29 9.12, only B-8 pods and S-24. Looking forward to using it as a air to ground platform regardless

Within LOS and radio range

The missile matches known charts extremely well. Better than R-27ER. The AMRAAM being a very thin missile just has much better aerodynamics at low altitude in thick air, while R-27 is optimized for higher altitudes At 1 km, flying subsonic and firing on subsonic target, it should go 15 km front aspect, about 10 from the side, and 5 from rear aspect

I’m sure G is possible from 9.12, needs just imperial instruments and wing tanks if we’re modeling before TACAN/VOR/radio/IFF upgrade. Not sure any documentation of AS models are available? UB/GT is possible, but there is definitely not sufficient demand as standalone module. Would need lots of resources with second cockpit and new 3D model from midsection forwards. I suppose it could be part of a MiG-29 2 upgrade, but ED has shown they aren’t too excited about including training variants in any of their modules

Yeah…. Manual says 4-9 km lock range against 0/4-1/4 aspect target against clouds, 6-10 km against earth background, 12-18 km in optimum conditions at above 5 km

Going to be exciting to see the signal strength bar modeled to full fidelity, and what approach of the many different explanations that manuals give. Some seem indicate that the cartridges are made so that signal strength bar shows equal values at equal ranges for different strength radars (unlike currently), and there are some that show when you are in lock/missile range and act as an approximate countdown to impact once missile launch is detected.,

No, maybe by time MiG-29 comes out…. Clouds blocking IR sensors was Atleast in latest newsletter. Will make IRST use very dynamic

Which it loads and fires fine? As for SPO-15, I’ve heard things that if Nike is in area then it will use it as priority above all other emitters. But nothing about 2 hz launch tone

Where did you get this 29-Lazur info from? Lower right corner of the cockpit? Around where we see transponder frequency controls for IFF?

What’s wrong with FM? I quite like it now the 2.9 brought damper changes and ground effect

No? But some had a dedicated light for it with priority. But the whole threat database is programmable with cartridges

The MiG-23ML does accomplish, pretty amazing. I was confusing it with this aircraft, I should rename the thread “Biryuza”

9.13 no, but yes for S upgrade. There is 9.12S also when you apply S upgrade to 9.12. A stock 9.13 is only different in humpback of fuel compared to 9.12. A really doubt a 9.13S will be possible until maybe a MiG-29 2 upgrade in 5-10 years

Please go beyond FC3 and model the Beryuza data link system. It is so wonderfully integrated with the HUD, would make an awesome feature to entice buyers, and gives it a unique and very dynamic ability to target with exterior guidance. Being able to have intercept path shown to you, radar/KOLS scan automatically and lock, and tell you when to fire. Being able to change the over 20 channels to select different targets. Being a radio link also brings the side effects of flying low and with obstructions from valleys/mountains. Opens up more team play allowing people to assign different targets to wingmen. Thank you!!

While talking about stealth, we’ll see if the IRST sets off RWR with its 0.25 hz radar pulses when it can’t use the laser to range beyond 3-6.5 km…….

Optimum cruise for MiG-29 is almost always around Mach 0.79-8. I believe the manual also says 4.5 degrees AOA is for best range, and 6 degrees for next endurance Idk where this about FC3 not doing RCS come from. They all have detection range that depends on it. Anyone can plop a F-117 or a cruise missile with a b-52 and see themselves. Hell, the MiG-29/Su-27 BVR search mode even shows different target sizes depending on RCS/IR signature!! They are limited by the same limits as all other ED modules, RCS being a single defined number for a unit with an aspect modifier. 3rd parties can tweak their radar models to account for aspect changes differently, loadout, but it has nothing to do with FC3 not doing such a thing.

Picture is from Su-25, where things are in different places

Also China, Belarus/Uzbekistan (if you count ex SU), and Vietnam Surprising how many rook operators there are

Note that this manual section is outdated, it’s 7.7 seconds note not 17. This means they release flare at 3.8-4.5 km depending on speed. I only need 10 degree pitch up if firing at low altitudes. Once I’m at 400-500m AGL, I can fire mostly level. The flare has to be about 300m or more above the ground when it ignites

Clarification, Is it the light shining through the body the main reported issue? From what I can read, the FPP-7M landing light should be able to rotate continuously through 360 degrees in any position retracted or extended. But of course, the light shouldn’t shine through the body. I have also noticed it able to shine through the periscope housing and other places it shouldn’t

I’m sure with Rhino SW you can. With SimFFB software, setting any effect automatically disables any input from DCS I could get it so trim still works the same, but not sure I can program it so that the trim hat works the same as in DCS

Yeah with FFB force goes away with trim button, making precision hard. Easier with Ka-50 where autopilot stills dampens with trim held

I don’t like holding trim button down becuase I use FFB, I prefer to just trim 2-3x in quick succession to get rid of “nodding.”

Becuase with the seat in place it blocks certain buttons and switches, like AP panel. In order to do it, all three positions would need to be selectable

Yeah, and improving on Mi-8 which only moves the attitude hold with the cyclic based off where the cyclic was when autopilot turned on (cyclic when turning on AP = 0 movement, any movement from there moves AP with cyclic), the Hind trim button also resets this. So while if you turn AP on in hover in Mi-8, and transition to fast forward flight without messing with it, it will think you are wanting it to dive rather then hold that attitude as your cyclic is now more forward of where it was initially. And be giving left input thinking you’re trying to roll left (since cyclic needs to move left as speed increases). So with the trim button on Mi-24 you can both tell AP “I want to hold this attitude,” but also “this is where the center of my cyclic is right now, and if I move it from here then I actually want to manuever in that direction.”
