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

My apologies it is more a manual in video form!

Some are sure. But coop only works with MPRF! It works in any mode automatically all the time in flanker! And the HUD? The Flanker has 24 HUD improvements over the fulcrum! It’s mind blowing! Why is IRST vertical scan only 16 degrees up when they obviously know how to do vertical scan with radar mode? Why not show IFF when my radar is literally locked? The Soviets have inexplicable confusing design decisions on almost every product they make. It is practically a characteristic of the Soviet era. Especially for MiG products such as the 29 where the idea was to make a plane that was “just good enough” as cheap as possible. Why downgrade the IRST material from MiG-23, why not show target location within 8 km like MiG-23, I want to eat a rye bread sandwich while my plane flies itself to the GCI Target Like MiG-23

There is engine relight switch, but not yet implemented. It is for emergencies anyways as engines should re start on their own if all things work properly.

Hello, this video details every single spec about the radar and IRST air to air modes. You’ll learn all there is to know, scan times lock times, which mode is better at what, which vertical scan covers more space, notch speeds getting rid of notch speeds and other filters, coverage of each mode, many tips and other little related things. What isn’t implemented but will be. Everything! I apologize for all the numbers, I just hope it helps some people out there! Next is COOP mode once it is more complete!

Yes, I just released a video on all the sensor mode specs if you are interested. Zone select switch on top left panel, but for IRST it already slews the entire azimuth in center, so left/right only makes it scan that half of the original scan zone. I can get F-14/15 from 15-30 km, F-18 less, F-16 no more then 18 km or so. In Mil power atleast.

I’m not saying it’s a good thing. I’m saying that MiG-29 is chock full of inexplicable design decisions and things that don’t make sense. Apparently an RWR that didn’t work well with radar atleast a lot of the time? Same RWR only shows a notch within WVR ranges? An IRST vertical scan that only goes 16 degrees up when it could have gone 30 degrees up despite being the fastest scanning mode? Coop mode forces MPRF/pursuit mode for some reason locking IRST out from picking up any HPRF/head on mode lock? Oh, it’s fine that you don’t have enough down elevator to counter the pitch up at low altitude and heavy payload at high speed. Yeah, let’s make LEF only have two positions so you have a stark transition between up and down? Yeah, let’s use a complex bifurcated louvered intake that reduces fuel space instead of the intake grids Sukhoi was using at the same time? Yeah. Let’s make them put radar to EKV/dummy to use COOP only in IRST modes, even though the system is already fully capable of turning radar on and off in ILLUM. Yeah, let’s have the radar scan a 50 x 11 degree area when range finding instead of just the target location. Even though it already only return range when looking at target. We used InSb sensitive IRST crystals in MiG-23, lets use worse PbSe crystals for the IRST this time! You know what, let’s put some of the symbology including the entire right HUD border only on the HDD! And we won’t have it show target location within 8 km like MiG-23! It won’t show target location at all unless in gun mode! Let’s basically do nothing but digitize MiG-23 HUD why add anything new! No target speed or altitude even though the plane knows it! Yeah autopilot could fly plane under Lazur guidance for MiG-23, let’s remove it for MiG-29! Well even use smaller flares then MiG-23! Make HUD show IFF in coop when radar is leading? Nope, only in Radar mode! it is so full of “they could’ve easily made that so much better!” And “why the hell did they do that?” And “Jesus why did they make it this way?” Design decisions, that it not being to lock a target in gun mode hardly passes as a blip on my common sense radar so to speak. Im sure they were like “a smart pilot will enable coop so both sensors lock, and it will stay locked” and went about their day.
