The centerline tank is a great design. It is essentially conformal, to the point that below Mach 0.6 it actually reduces drag. Either they didn’t test it supersonic or it has negligible drag at supersonic speed also. Pretty cool

The HOTAS is really simple so really up to you this is from the manual

The navigation system is basically just copy and paste for anything Soviet of the era, Su-25, MiG-23, Su-17/24, Su-27 (except that one has a lot of extra function built on top of the same system).

I mean for Soviet bombs these fuses are only affecting arm time (time needed in air before being armed), and the “function delay” that effects how long after impact they detonate, right?

I’m surprised they even put it in when the MiG has nothing to do with this information

My video here goes through least fuel consumption speeds for each altitude

Su-27SK manual says it happens at 85-95 degrees, I assume this is for high frequency pulse Doppler fighter radars as those are more precise for SPO

Brother, we would need wind tunnel to figure this out

Is this more clear for you? edit: check page 2 for latest graph

Or fly above 100 kmh when shooting

The question is the aileron moving from 5-10 degrees reducing drag more then the aileron moving from 5 degrees to level with trailing edge is increasing it. At the very least, it is reducing the natural adverse yaw tendency as it essentially acts as differential (aileron that moves up moved more up then down aileron moves down.) Interestingly the trailing edge of the aileron is also tilted down 10 degrees to help neutralize the force on the hinge at neutral position. We also have the influence of stabilizer scissors at 7-8.7 degrees AOA. As it is stable the elevators needs to constantly push tail down. When scissors from aileron input, the inside stabilizer in the turn is moving further up and also adding more drag while the outside stabilizer is moving down and decreasing drag. But of course, it’s harder to tell proverse/adverse yaw at AOA above 7-8.7, and the designers made every effort to reduce the natural adverse yaw at high AOAs Somehow though the scissoring elevators produces adverse yaw at high AOAs, which is why it’s disabled when LEFs come down.

I can get SAM to show notch easily. OP tested he saw F-16 show 90/50 light at 5-6 km. Anyone else see it for other planes yet? I assume F-14/15/18 will make it show at longer ranges.

Think of it like this. Ailerons are 5 degrees up. Let’s say I move the stick so the ailerons deflect 5 degrees. One aileron is now level with trailing edge (adding lift and drag) The other aileron would now be 10 degrees above the trailing edge, reducing the lift and thus lift induced drag of that wing The rudders have dampener actuators to be part of the dampening system. But they do not move with the ailerons, and when it is implemented they will only move up to 8 degrees with the ailerons only at high AOA.

1. It does show proverse yaw, it is just the opposite of adverse yaw. Planes that use spoilers may experience this, or on this case ailerons that are tilted up. 2. the rudders do not move with the ailerons unless you move the pedals. IRL it would BUT only at high AOA, such as 18-26 degrees. It may be implemented eventually, but at normal AOAs it will not happen 3. The ailerons do give slight washout effect, however the wing already exhibits 4.6 degrees of washout. If you read the practical aerodynamics manual, they will mention that the ailerons are 5 degrees up to improve high AOA roll control.

For coop just move switch forward for radar (remember it will limit you to pursuit eventually, it was normal for pilots to flip it forward at 20-30 kmh) You only need to move radar to dummy/EKV for IRST modes. The N-019/N001 has two spaces for datalink in its target illumination cycle. So you will be able to guide both fine. You can even break lock mid flight and if you regain it before impact the missile can guide.

I’ll take a look

Some things Pirsuit mode works at any aspect not just “pursuit.” I recommend to turn it on when 20-30 kmh from target (depending on if above or below 3,000 meters). Radar picking up IRST lock and vice versa only works in coop mode. To make this happen move coop switch forward, and in IRST modes set radar to “dummy/ekv.” When fully implemented it will lock radar pursuit/MPRF mode. Very happy it helped!!!!!!!!!

Yes that is correct symbology for when R-73 has lock without IRST

You do not have R-73 link in your first picture. If you did, you would have a flashing “ LA” symbol

I am referencing German TO-1 that can be purchased from Amazon and also appears in the L-18 manual which can also be purchased on Amazon, and most importantly the instantaneous G chart from the same German TO-1 that can be purchased on Amazon. As well as many comments in practical aerodynamics saying it is not until you hit transonic speeds that the elevator loses efficiency and stops you from pulling max G. This sustained turn chart shows both drag and gross weight and so should be able to atleast hit those numbers. The instantaneous G chart doesn’t say exactly drag and weight just “clean or with missiles”, but if it’s like every other single chart it is for 2x R-73, 4x pylons, and 13,000 kg weight with approximately 1,500 kg fuel. Either way it should hit these numbers at some point in the flight envelope. The creators of the chart clearly thought it correct enough for a wide enough range to say “clean or with missile load CG 25.5%” Notice how at low altitudes it has no problem hitting max G until is just past Mach 0.85 This is also the exact reason the ARU system is tuned to start giving authority back at 1200 kmh. On second look it does seem to hit these numbers pretty well for the instantaneous chart right at sea level, but it does seem to be under doing max G at the 3-5 km lines in game. I do not about the sustained chart

You have va switch to release a pair or all of them

The only thing I notice it’s turning behavior. According to charts it should hit sustained 9 G right at 900 kmh, and maintain max G until supersonic speed. Right now it stops maintaining 9 G will before supersonic speed

If you watch my latest video, I let out the symbology differences much clearer

Are you aware how to adjust the range for TD degree elevation? If you go to radar elevation chapter of my latest video there are some Tips for it

LMAO!!!!!!!! Backing up my words now
