I don’t think that’s correct. Using the “Training Employment” mode switch in the Su-27 changes how S8 and S-13 rockets are released (2x and 1x respectively), when the release mode switch is set to “Single”. It also makes changes to the cannon’s firing rate. Bombs aren’t mentioned. As for when not using it:

If you have any mods installed (even if they have nothing to do with the MiG-29), remove them and see if that’s the cure. If not, do a slow repair. One or the other should fix the issue.

Yes. That’s how the ME handles it.

Also, in the Mission Editor, it’ll be available when China is selected as the nation.

I’ve found that the best way to anticipate ED releases is simply not to. Just assume that it won’t be anytime soon. Then you’re guaranteed to be pleasantly surprised.

Are you asking about Russian language in the sim or in the forum?

So you did buy the complete map, not just one section. Even if you had only bought one section, you would still have the complete area. It’s just that only the portion you bought would be highly detailed. That being said, I have no idea why you’re seeing “off map” in the A-10 pit.

When you go to “My Orders”, if it shows “DCS: Afghanistan Map” as being purchased, you bought the complete map.

Well…mine weighs in at 75.5GB. I’m in the process of updating. It’ll be another day or two before it’s done. EDIT: Ahh… Were you asking what would happen if you purchase them separately after the current update?

In buying and downloading the “West” you also downloaded the “East” in lower detail. In purchasing the “East”, you’ll have to download the high detail East. For people like myself who purchased the complete map, we now have the high detail “East” to download as well.

Maybe so. OTOH, they were able to provide the extended area without having to worry about whose computers will have a harder time handling it. I can just hear the uproar if they provided the detail you’d prefer now and had to back it out later, when the rest of the map reached full detail.

Thank you for your critique. Though I’m not sure 1 meter over 50 was worth mentioning, when the manual gives a range of 50-60 m.

Finally had a chance to fly and figured I’d add a short video of how I do it. Assuming you’re not landing heavy—here I’m landing with roughly 35% (1,100 kg) fuel and 6 R-73s—try to keep the tach in the 77-79% range as you descend toward the runway. Ideally you’re crossing the inner marker at a height of 50-60 meters with a speed in the 300-310 km/hr range. If you’re a little high, shift your aim point to just short of the runway for a bit to flatten out the descent. Then refocus on your original aim point. Your speed crossing the runway threshold should be in the 280-290 range. As the left edge of the runway comes into view, look left and forward, rather than straight ahead, to better judge your height above the surface. FWIW, I seldom pay attention to the AoA. Rather I keep an eye on the HUD pitch scale (notice that, when I shift my focus left and forward, I keep the scale in view). Do not let it go higher than 10 degrees. At 10, there is no chance of your tail or engine nacelles hitting the ground. Add a bit of throttle if it’s approaching 10 with no desire to stop. If you hold it at 10 at this point by adjusting the throttle, the proper landing speed (and AoA) will sort themselves out. Throttle to idle, when you feel you’re just above the runway and settle to the ground.

This is probably the most important aspect of landing the MiG-29. While everything, obviously, plays a roll in setting you up for a smooth landing, your height above the ground as you make that final speed reduction defines your landing speed. The closer your wheels are to the ground, the slower your landing speed can be (within reason). It’s also one of the most difficult things to judge in the sim. The MiG-29 is the least forgiving a/c in this regard. Most others let you “cheat” a lot more.

I agree. And those of us who have been buying ED’s products since the 90’s should be getting a 90% loyalty discount. It’s only fair.

Actually I just realized that all you have to do is assign the “Pause” command in the UI Layer to a button or button combo on your stick or throttle. I’ve never done it but, now, I just might. I like the idea of not needing to grab the mouse or use the keyboard.

I like the concept but whatever was used would probably need to be something other than a command already in use.

Originally the “Mods” folder was were all a/c lived. As more aircraft arrived, a Core Mods folder added.

Hope springs eternal…

FWIW, it works fine with my equipment. So it’s not a universal issue.

Wonder if the issue was somehow related to the IR missile/flare fix in the patch.

@okopanja So I checked the Syria and Caucasus TRK files you posted. The mission file in both have fog turned off. I have fog turned off in the ME as well. An observation: If I create a mission, I can fly it as many times as I wish and IR missile seekers lock onto the target as they should. If I run one of your TRK file and, then, try to fly a mission created on my machine, they no longer lock as they should. If I remove all elements that the TRK recording adds and fly it as a standard mission file, IR missile seekers will not lock in neither your mission nor one I created.

It could be, if the server mission had fog set to “auto” and others you tried didn’t.

I probably won’t have the time to do that today. OTOH, your other (Syria) TRK played back as you recorded it. No lock.
