fencible Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I took the MiG-29 for a few spins last night and noticed that although I can see the air-brake switch moving on the throttle handle in the cockpit when I actuate it, the speed-brakes do not deploy. This appears to be a broken feature.
mvsgas Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Will not deploy with external centerline tank or Landing gear down. AFAIK, it suppose to work like that on the real aircraft. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
fencible Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 Thank you! That was most helpful - I was using centre-line tank.
Aluminum Donkey Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Thank you! That was most helpful - I was using centre-line tank. Yep, speedbrake won't open with centerline tank in place, or gear down. It also won't open fully if you're going really fast.

Gecky Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 AI Mig-29s can open airbrake even with centerline tanks
