Bremspropeller

And Skip had a freeze at above 28.500ft in a CE.

Just had a freeze on CWG in the BE and Skipjack in the backseat.

Neuhardenberg - that's "Marxwalde" (JG 8 ) for LV/LSK. Neubrandenburg "Trollenhagen" (JG 2) is already there. A nice surprise nonetheless.

I have seen something similar happen before the latest patch (can't remember the conditions), but at least it didn't CTD or freeze the game. The IDN and Boule were all messed up, but at least the pointer showed the correct position in RNAV mode. Was on CWG IIRC.

Before Flankers, there's a gazillion other Redfor aircraft I'd like to see. More Fishbeds (with a plural "s"). Fitters, Foxbats, Floggers and even chineese "copies" like J-5s, J-6s and J-7s. I'd like to fly an A-5/Q-5. Or a Flagon. All those are exciting. The Flanker just scratches the anti-Eagle itch.

The G91 had "short legs" because those forward operating bases (some of them grass strips) didn't materialize and weren't deemed neccessary anymore in the greater scheme after the shift towards Flexible Response. Hence the aircraft was forced to operate from it's main bases fairly far away from the line of contact. Whether it was a good dogfighter is pretty hard to figure: It didn't have any hardware to make use of getting into an avantageous position: No LCOS and no (within GAF) AA missiles. Removing one cannon (and prohibiting shooting of the remaining one) to fit TACAN didn't help with the combat value. It was very small and had - clean - pretty good subsonic performance as can be seen above in Smyth's analysis. As with the Alpha Jet, many pointy jet people within Luftwaffe never figured the use of an aircraft that was simple, reliable and could just GO NOW and fly 8 sorties a day. Had there been more ingenuity and imagination (and moreso: the willingnes to spend some cash), the Alph could have been an awesome jet. Like the Gina, the Alph would also have been an awesome asset for low intensity conflicts (e.g. Afghanistan). But I'm digressing...

Steadily meaning linear or is there any other equation to it? Is there any more info on the ARI as well?

FWIW, out of th 29G manual: There's no mention of aileron throw being decreased to +/-5° above 18° AoA. It just mentions a reduction in aileron authority above 18° AoA. Now, the authority part may be bad translation (could be meaning authority as in "aileron effectiveness"), but then agian neither does it state a reduction in throw to 5° or any other value for that matter. It says the ailerons are placed 5° up from the aircraft's horizontal reference line in neutral position - that's a wonky way of saying the ailerons at neural are both 5° up to create more washout - in order to decrease any induced yaw during rolls. ARI is mentioned as a function of the AFCS Damper at high AoA (whatever that means): "Lateral control is provided mainly by the ailerons, assisted by the tailerons if the LEFs are IN, and by the rudders at high AoA, provided the stability augmentation system is operating." [...] "Aileron-rudder-interconnect is provided at high AoA by the stab aug system to improve lateral stability."

Technically the 29 has slats and the 16 has LEFs, but that's just a tangent on semantics. The 29G manual says the LEFs [sic!] are out when: - either of the two flap DOWN buttons is pressed - landing gear is selected down (gear down overrides flap up) - maneuvering (greater than 8.7° AoA for extension, lower than 7° AoA for retraction, Mach below 0.8 [+0.1 / -0.05]) More LEF trivia: - "LEF out" disengages differential taileron - the Damper AFCS mode will counteract any pitch moments due to LEF operation (unless flaps are down)

Which "roll angle"? According to the 29G manual, there's no difference between the two down buttons. That's what they're actually called: "One UP and two DOWN" buttons.

Vamos a la playa.

JG-3 (one sqn 21MF, two sqns 29A) and supposedly JG-2* (at reunification 2sqns 21M and one sqn 21SPS/K) were to be the two complete MiG-29 wings in LSK. JG-9 had the 23MF and ML and JG-7 (21Ms) had been disbanded by September '89. That left JG-1 (Holzdorf, 21MF and 21SPS/K) and JG-8 (Marxwalde, 21bis both subtypes) with 21s for the forseeable future. The 21SPS/K is a PFM with the gun-pod preparation. First flight at LSK was on 3 May 1988. Induction into DHS (~ QRA) at Preschen was in 1 December 1988. In terms of missing MiG-29 bases in GDR we have Falkenberg and Altenburg for GSSD and Preschen for LSK. ______ * couldn't find anything about that in JG-2's "Geschwaderchronik" though, just here: https://home.snafu.de/veith/jg2.htm Perspektivisch war durch die NVA eine Ausrüstung des JG-2 mit MiG-29 vorgesehen.

I have been landing and taking off from Holzdorf's aux grass strip without any issues. Even with a full tank and A/G ordnance she'll take off in military just fine. A grass runway is never unprepared. Quite the contrary.

It doesn't. While it's got way better sensors and air power projection (gas, range, weapon load), the 29 actually has better sustained and instantaneous turn capabilities*. It should also have better vertical capabilities. Plus in it's time, it had the helmet sight over the Eagle with Mikes at best. The Eagle can be dangerous WVR, but it's not a guaranteed win - far from it. Ze Germans found out that you could actually out-bingo an Eagle when playing a bit dirty. But that's in an artificial setup. _____ * that's from Spanky's video, who had a decent amount of hours in both jets

So it is three buttons for two functions. And as the flaps are blown up by airloads, they could have just left out the entire box and tie them to the gear-handle
