Su-25T' WCS questions ?

[Majesco]

I need some helps for Su-25T :D

Look at the pic:

The weapon control system of Su-25T has 3 buttons and 4 switches

 

I know the switch on the left controls burst rate of cannon (A & M) so, what are the 3 remain switches (1), can we use them and how ?

 

And the button named "Released..." - i marked with no 3 (changing ripple quantity ?? ), what's it ?

i don't know how to select PO1 or PO2 modes ?

 

Finally, what is the function of IRCM and in which cases should we use it ?

Thx !

"Released" refers to gear handle.

The marked switch ("Сухогруз - Режим") is a IRCM mode switch.

There's a dedicated tutorial track describing it.

IRCM is the infrared countermeasures system. No idea how it works, but if you're flying anywhere near IR Sams it make sense to switch it on. It also works well at spoofing Aim-9s and R60s...

So best just to switch the IRCM on as soon as you're airborne, that way you won't forget!

Hi Majesco

 

I don't know enough the 25T to answer your remaining question, but I've some remarks either.

 

Are you the author of the english cockpit markings ? If so :

1)

"Released" refers to gear handle.

I agree with that, but the term choice seems a bit strange... Why not simply "up" & "down" for the landing gear ?

 

2) The L-GEAR mark seems a bit strange too : the - is vertical, why ? I prefer the right solution :

L L

| -

G G

E E

A A

R R

 

3) On the autopilot panel, what means "ANG" ? Isn't that the light for the AP when Engaged (ENG) ?

 

Cheers

IRCM, like Zorrin said, is your IR "jammer". Its the cylindrical thing on the airplane's tail. It creates a heat source behind the plane that attracts IR missiles and (hopefully) will detonate them behind you before they get to you. Ironhand has a good video showing the use of it in an Su-25T campaign mission. You have to have the IR missiles to your rear for it to work. In my experiences against Iglas and such, it works fairly well!

I found this document decribing all the switches for the Su-25A. Some of the switches are the same as in the "T"..

Not quite :D

 

It is a high intensity lamp that blinds the missile's IR seeker and thereby causing it to loose lock. It is meant for defeating short range IR homing SAMs such as manpads :) .

Hey, that´s my cockpi mod, right? (Pucara)

[Ironhand]

...Are you the author of the english cockpit markings ?...

No. That would be TekaTeka, though I think there might another mod out there as well.

 

..On the autopilot panel, what means "ANG" ? Isn't that the light for the AP when Engaged (ENG) ?

That's the button/light for "Attitude Hold". But also that is engaged no matter what submode you are in. So I think, it actually stands for something like: Automatic Navigation Control.

Oh no, not mine. English cockpit mod is an addon made by Tekateka, i think he's very good at making cockpit mod and language translation :D

But now i don't know why the "English cockpit mod v2.51" doesn't work well for me, all lights in Su-27/ Su-33 still in Russian though the mod was installed, i've not got this problem before.

Yep, it's yours - blue panel mod :D

Thank you for a good translation

But i still need to know, can we control all switches marked with yellow circles (like cannon burst rate switch) and "Released/ Сухогруз - Режим" button ?

If possible, which key commands to do that ?

 

If i'm not mistaken, there're 5 light indicators around ТОРМОЗ switch (ПEB, ПРДB) marked with green squares, right ?

Can i make them work (turn lights on/off) or not ?

I use a combination of english cockpit mods...TekaTeka's and another one, I'm not sure. At any rate, BOTH are at Lockonfiles. Both cockpits are good, but neither are really complete. With only one, I think its TekaTeka's like Majesco mentioned, the lights are not translated. With both installed on top of each other, more of the cockpit is translated.

OT: about Su-25A, it has ECM green light at right panel. Does Su-25A have ECM pods like Su-25T or how to activate ECM on Su-25 ?

 

If there's no way to activate ECM on Su-25A, does the Su-25 have any defence method (jamming enemy's ground radar) ?

Yes - SU-25A has an E.C.M. Pod *SPS-141 Pod* Weapons Pylon 8.
