FC3 SU33

[Rene Coulon]

ED Please restore the function of the Red airbrake position warning light . It has disappeared after the latest updates...thank you

[Magic Zach]

Okay. Do you have the default SU33, or the 33 with this unofficial PFM? I'm assuming the second, because this is under DCS Mods. Also, bug report section?

[gospadin]

This probably belongs in this forum: https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=321

[1stBEAST]

didnt they deactivated it because of the reason that it is also not working on the real Su-33?

[selinaland]

But where is KH41?

[Silver_Dragon]

But where is KH41?

 

Kh41 was only a mockup missile show on MARKs air festival, never was build as operative missile and not enter on service on the russian navy as air launcher version.

 

The real Su-33 never was anti-ship and guided munition avionics or none integration to use that missile. The functionality show of Flanker, LOMAC, FC-1/-2 only was fantasy.

But the current SU-33 have SVP-24 installed. And wikipedia says that the Su-33 can use the Kh-31A, who knows the reality behind all

 

 

Su-33 with SVP-24 “Gefest” system

 

 

[Silver_Dragon]

Wikipedia was never a accurate info source, and actually none russian aircraft use that missile or the Kh-41 has never produced as active service missile.

 

The same situation was the land based SSC-7/12 antiship system with the 3M-80MVE missile, never build or produced, only mockups on military show.

 

 

Have more accurate military sources as the wikipedia "claims". The SVP-24 only give better unguided precisión launch to bombing, not get any missile guide system.

Im talking about the Kh-31A, not the 41

[Silver_Dragon]

Other missile never integrated on the Su-33

In the latest news the video of the Su-33 mini demo. Anyone else notice the insanely good engine noise. Was this added for effect or has the engine noise been updated. Anyone from ED please can you comment?

It is the after effect by X-Stound and is different from what we gonna have in game.

Is carrier going to be released along with Su33 afm ? Or are we going to use it with old carrier ? Is old carrier compatible with afm planes ?

[Gierasimov]

From the product page...

 

Is carrier going to be released along with Su33 afm ? Or are we going to use it with old carrier ? Is old carrier compatible with afm planes ?

 

Who cares. Su-33 will be Professional Flight Level (PFM) and not AFM.

 

 

On a serious note, I think that initially it will be made compatible - "old carrier" - which is in fact heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser aka aircraft cruiser - Admiral Kuznetsov anyway will stay as is for now but will be compatible:

 

 

"The physical mechanisms by which the arrestor hook engages the aircraft carrier arrestor wire has been greatly improved. Correct physics have been applied to the arrestor wire and its’ interaction with the aircraft".

 

 

I think it will be like that for as long as the new version is WIP as there was no indication that changes to this boat will be introduced in batches.

[Magic Zach]

Can't wait for the PFM. Just yesterday I landed on the carrier too fast at 325km/h...

I glitched through the carrier and landed on the friggin' water!

[alt10k]

Would it be great if we can have updated manual in advance?

+1

I must admit, the SU33 is actually making me a bit hyped, which is unusual, as I don't normally have a thing for them. Still not up for the F/A-18 yet though. A manual would cool for the SU33!

[steveyb]

Does the PFM come with proper radio navigation?

[probad]

no. upgrade is strictly to flight model, so stop asking about non-flight modelling related features.

[Magic Zach]

no. upgrade is strictly to flight model, so stop asking about non-flight modelling related features.

...and differently placed landing lights, similar to the MiG-29's setup.

[Pronin]

no. upgrade is strictly to flight model, so stop asking about non-flight modelling related features.

 

You sure about that? Because the news letter mentioned quite a bit more than just the flight model. Air-Refuel mode, auto throttle, and terrain avoidance to name a few.

[Gierasimov]

Su-33 features as advertised

 

Does the PFM come with proper radio navigation?

 

I am not sure that "proper radio navigation" would fall under PFM, rather under ASM, but for the completeness here is what ED said will be included --

 

Features of this upcoming Su-33 update include:

 

• Professional Flight Model (PFM)
  
• More detailed and accurate simulation of the wing control surfaces that include the leading and trailing edge flaps and the differential ailerons. In addition to the conventional differential stabilizers, canard behavior has also been improved for more realistic behavior. The Flight Control System (FCS) will automatically reconfigure itself depending on the flight mode.
  
• The adaptations that make the Su-33 aircraft carrier-capable have been updated and improved to include the wing-fold mechanism, reinforced landing gear struts, and the inclusion of high-gain nose wheel steering for use on crowded carrier decks.
  
• The physical mechanisms by which the arrestor hook engages the aircraft carrier arrestor wire has been greatly improved. Correct physics have been applied to the arrestor wire and its’ interaction with the aircraft.
  
• The engines now have a "special mode" that adds up to 12,800 kg of thrust (instead of the normal 12,500 kg of thrust). This mode also includes realistic operating time restrictions.
  
• A new FCS mode used when aerial refueling has also been implemented. When in this mode and the control stick is released, the aircraft will automatically maintain level flight. This FCS mode allows fine-control and thus making it easier to make contact with the tanker within a pitch range of plus or minus 5 degrees and of a roll angle of plus or minus 10 degrees.
  
• The Auto-Thrust Control (ATC) is used for automatic speed holding and can be fine-tuned with a set speed switch. This can be useful with landing on the carrier.
  
• The automatic collision avoidance system ("Uvod" mode) is now included and allows safe nap-of-the-earth flying.
