Moreover if the pylons will be canted outward like by SH, this has to produce huge frontal RCS, apart the huge drag penalty.

To revive the thread - the night is still too bright. In full moon, the ground in Caucasus map looks like n daylight, I can spot targets, do low level VFR flight and so on. Without moon it is better, but still too bright, no need for NVG.

We have an update :)

It is working in my install, however I suggest you read this topic: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=148310 In short, only certain runways under certain meteorological conditions are capable of RSBN/PRMG landings using SDU aircraft system and IRL only very late versions of L-39 had SDU. There is no ILS on L-39.

Well I was quite disappointed by the direction that LN took after Mig-21. For me the 23 was the next logical step as it shares so many systems/avionics with 21( it has been stated that 60%). Moreover it would be far easier to maintain and polish 21/23 modules, the team would mature and exploit all the knowledge about Soviet Era systems and aircraft. I feel that this potential was somewhat wasted with decision to discontinue eastern aircraft development. I understand that it has to be distracting now for the team to bugfix the 21, while concentrating on completely different aircraft, designed with completely different mindset. Tomcat, while hugely popular is a step into the unknown and is a more complicated aircraft than 23/21 combined. Of course I wish LN only the best in their present and future endeavors and hope that none of the upcoming aircraft in development will break their neck.

Could the ugly rear-view mirror be removed by pressing M key or by selecting it from special tab? I have not seen any L-39 sporting such rear-view mirror - it seems to be just some very special modification.

The barometric altimeter reads "0" because it has preset the QFE pressure on the dial on the barometer as default for the given airport and current atmospheric conditions when doing a cold start. Certainly no bug. You can change it to QNH pressure and you will read the airport's elevation on the barometric altimeter. It is all written in the manual.

the (B)urning ones and the ©ostly ones :D (sorry couldn't resist)

Anyone care to submit a bug report here?: https://leatherneck-sim.mantishub.io/my_view_page.php

Has anyone found a possible fix that could be made from the user's side (either graphic setting or lua file edit)?

I hope it gets sorted out somehow, I've tried to change all graphic settings and mess with the files to no avail. Most of my missions are now busted :( Thanks Snoopy for the info.

Yes, the objects are now visible through the canopy in the recent DCS versions, is there any fix for this?

I completely agree with Fri13. I started with the KA-50 and while it is a fantastic killing helicopter and I was quite proficient in flying it, it hasn't taught me anything about flying traditional copters. Once I tried Mi-8 I had to learn from scratch. After some 100 hours in KA-50 I thought I could handle Mi-8, but after few craters in the ground it was -> back to school. So if you want to learn how to fly copters I suggest Huey or Mi-8. Ka-50 is more like an advanced weapon system having the actual flying quite automated and easier due to coax config.

I've just tested it in my actual 1.5.4 open beta and they work just fine in C and ZA in my install.

Yes he continued, but it was thoroughly investigated, bulletin was issued, so it was pretty serious for a relatively minor error.

I think, it is true what Bogey says, regarding the accelerometer which is placed in cockpit area and measures the acceleration component in body-frame axis, therefore its measurement dependent on attitude. Illustrated here: http://tom.pycke.be/mav/69/accelerometer-to-attitude

+0.1 G is certainly not slight upward pitch...You do not seem to have a slightest idea what that G represents. I think you should study mr. Newton's laws kinematics and dynamics of flight in order to understand what you did wrong. Anyway I know about a pilot who unloaded his aircraft with bombs in level flight during practice flight to some 0.8G and it nearly cost him his career as he was all set to fly a desk.

No bug, complete pilot error.

You can toggle in options settings "hear like in helmet" and after that things are a lot quieter, although you hear radio well.

I sadly think that we won't see any Eastern aircraft from LN in some near future. Mig-21Bis was initiative driven mainly by Beczl. F-14/Viggen/Corsair/Aircraft Carrier are products for some 3-4 years to publish and support iin my opinion. Just look how much support does the Mig-21 need as a relatively simple aircraft compared to an immensely more complex F-14 with RIO. The current situation is quite sad for Eastern aircraft as there seems to be none officially being developed.

Bombs from the inner pylons cannot be dropped as singles, only in pairs. It works this way in the real aircraft.

As I build SP missions for myself, I would at least like to be able to force formation take-offs for planes. It takes 4 minutes for a 4 ship flight to depart, which is a time at which our AF wartime alert force could scramble 72 aircraft: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCZA2CEJNKg[/ame]

FFB trim works correctly with my G-940 in L-39C/ZA and moves the stick as expected.

It seems like this bug is back in my 1.53108.79 Open Beta install. Every time I trim I get freezes/stutter.
