Mig-29

[kelpie]

Why should I need a Hud repeater MFD ?

Do you have any idea ?

 

From my understanding that's how the real Mig-29's are. From what I read elsewhere it's because the HUD has a pretty high failure rate in the Mig-29's (not sure how true that is but that's what I read).

 

There used to be an MFD change option where you can get the radar screen to show up instead of the HUD repeater but they took it off a long time ago. Maybe for realism sake. I miss having the option though.

i hope they will bring it back

Same.

The real jet doesn't have the TSD-style display. It is simply a HUD repeater IRL.

Over the hump is easy until you reach the missions with f16s. It is not a fair fight against amraams :)

If you're referring to Mission 8, change two of your wingmens loadout to A2A (4xR-77, 2xR-73). when you start getting enemy nails, send those two to engage bandits and you press the ground attack with the remaining wingman.

i personally like the hud repeater a lot, enough that i mapped a button for it on the 27 and flip between it and tactical overview regularly.

 

the hud repeater lcd presents data visible from any angle, unlike the hud.

anyone who actually moves around in the cockpit would appreciate how important that is.

how do you understand which waypoint you are heading

and how do you get on course? i try to align green circle but never managed aven after 360 turns. it looked like a dog trying to catch its own tail.

tried to play campaign over the hump for mig-29s

it is very hard to find your way and locate enemies without mfd like su-27's

awacs is not very effective without it

Request info to the AWACS or EW Radars....They will give you all information required to locate enemies.

 

The S in DCS means Simulator, so, if the MiG-29 only have a HUD repeater...The display only can be a HUD repeater.:thumbup:

Try to keep the green circle in the middle of the HUD. If you are very close to the waypoint is nearly impossible. Also keep focus on the distance to the waypoint.

i am trying to say that, it is hard to keep circle in the center. because you have to align with the course without seeing it (it doesn't point the waypoint like a-10 does). and no waypoint info is provided i guess. so it is matter of time to get lost without looking at f10 map.

if i was a pilot, i wouldn't go to battlefileds without a gps or at least yandex :D

 

maybe this one is a some kind of a gps:

 

[metzger]

The navigation systems are not modeled in FC3 aircraft but this is why you don't have a way to know which waypoint is selected. You can keep the course by looking at the hsi needles and dme for distance, this is true for the real mig29 also, INS is not a gps and there iz no screen to show your position. The hud circle is just to help you staying head up.

You would use the flight director circle in conjunction with the HSI. Use the HSI to get you close to the courseline and then the flight director circle which functions like an ADI for the HUD to fine tune.

Yup, exactly right. With the Mig-29 (and F-15C) you need to use the analog HSI first to get you lined up and then use the green circle to keep you on track. ;) It took me a very long time to figure it out but now I can use the Mig without a problem (as long as I'm not going up against an F-15. In that case 50-50 I'm bailing out).

in su-25 (not T) there is a panel on the right side that consists of several green lights.

you can understand which nav mod and waypoint you are at thanks to these lights

interestingly we don't have such a thing in su-25t and migs. so only option is to hit "1" key until you see unused mod with red markings then hit "1" again to bring enroute mod.

i don't think this is the case for real planes but don't want to bother for a plane which i am not very fond of

Quite right, the issue is that you are missing the animations on the Navigation Panel that would indicate which waypoint is selected. On the MiG-29, you can program in up to 6 waypoints, I believe. And there's a switch position and three push button-lights which would indicate your selected waypoint.

Unless you're in a heavy furball or flying with lots of AI, AWACS info tends to get bogged down, best bet is to get a BRAA before everything kicks off and pay attention to your RWR

Also when cycling through the waypoints there is no way to know which waypoint you have selected...unless you do a lot of naviation math.
