Pocket Sized Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) As many of you probably know, the mig likes to "lock" in to 36° AoA when the stick is pulled fully back at low speed. The craft is actually controllable and capable of level flight in this state. [This has no practical purpose, it doesn't even lower your effective stall speed] So, here's how you do it: 1. Drop any external stores, you want to be light as possible. 2. Enable the emergency afterburner, it's just in front of the throttle next to the aileron booster. 3. Slow to 500kmh or lower 4. Level wings and allow the ball to center completely 5. Bring the engine to ~80% (better throttle response later on) 6. Yank the stick back fully, hold it there and do not move the ailerons 7. Increase the throttle just enough to light the afterburner 8. Correct for any roll with very small rudder movements, there will be a huge delay between control input and response 9. The ailerons will work but are reversed and the plane reacts very slowly. The rudder is no better nor is it any worse, but it works the right way around. I need to do more testing but I think you could use them together for better control response. Altitude is controlled with throttle, beware that there is very little spare lift. 10. To recover, push the stick fully forward very quickly just long enough to break the stall while pushing the engine to full afterburner. If done correctly there will be no sink during the recovery. 11. Level wings and hold your AoA in the yellow until pucker factor is satisfactorily low And there you go. If you watch the radar altimeter/vertical speed indicator you can do some very impressive low passes. https://youtu.be/s0MCN4O9oMM Edited April 27, 2016 by Pocket Sized DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule.

Capt_Haddock Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Intriguing! Looking forward to testing it when I get a chance :)
Pocket Sized Posted April 27, 2016 Author Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Amazing recovery :lol: Also how do you get that control monitor thing? That will be pretty useful for showing how control inputs effect the craft. Edited April 27, 2016 by Pocket Sized DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule.
