slaxor Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi guys, Trying to figure out if it is a bug I am missing something. With radar on and set to mode 2 (above 2000 m altitude) and track antenna (Ar-18-16) is ON the radar screens is switching off. I'd assume that it is main radar mode though it is not working. Anyone has experienced the same or it is known bug?

I remember I managed to break it without proper warming up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaxor Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yeah, I'm pretty sure. It works in Mode 1 with no issues. I assume if it was not warmed up properly then Mode 1 would not work too, right? Also interesting, that Izumrud Radar indication lamp (Next to mode switch), which as per instruction indicates that Radar is operation correctly, lights up when I switch to Mode 2 but the screen goes off at the same time. The lamp is off in Mode 1 though. i5-13600KF / RTX4080/ 32GB DDR4 3000 / Quest 2 FFBeast Flight-stick base with VKB MCG Ultimate + 200 mm extension, FFBeast Marksman-XX Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lamp is off in Mode 1 though. Lamp is there to tell you, that radar is operating, when you switch to the tracking antenna only, as far as I remember. Scope is connected to search antenna, and shuts down when that antenna is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaxor Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 I've captured video and pretty sure it is at least mix up Mode 1 is Mode 2 and visa versa. The lamp is also not working as per manual and working only when the screen is off (assume it is mode 1). The range of mode 1 is a bit too long 2km instead of 1.2km as per manual. Explained that in the video. https://youtu.be/CA5E4NWQqzs 2 i5-13600KF / RTX4080/ 32GB DDR4 3000 / Quest 2 FFBeast Flight-stick base with VKB MCG Ultimate + 200 mm extension, FFBeast Marksman-XX Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairey Gannet Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ah, I see now - yes, it seems like switch is upside down. Mode 2 is low altitude tracking and 1 is above 2000 m search and track, and should be the other way around. Yes, you are right. I got so used to that in 19, I really stopped paying attention.

Also the ranging on the GUNS in RADAR mode when locked is not correct and the TARGET is missed every time I would like to make some missions for GCI in poor Vis conditions using GUNS in RADAR MODE something this aircraft was designed to do Edited May 10, 2022 by christopher m 4 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christopher M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) That guy flew the J-6, with 3 guns and no radar. Our MiG should have a fully featured radar gunsight. EDIT: Also, I'm doing that stall turn next time I feel like getting some stick time in the MiG. Edited August 10, 2022 by Dragon1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to learn the MiG-19 using Chuck's guide and the training mission and they all give the wrong advice relative to the current behavior of the switch. 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

BUMP I would also like to add some missions with GCI and PAR/GCA Ground Control Approach (script) and this BUG along with the GUNS in RADAR Mode inaccuracy just makes this plane very difficult to Master especially since this BUG is not even in the BUG section? This is a Great Plane it just needs some work 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christopher M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dresoccer4 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 came here searching for this as well. I'm following Chuck's guide and either he has the modes wrong or the Mig-19 has the modes wrong. Mode 1 is high altitude in the sim/ Has anyone gotten feedback from the devs on this? i'd like some clarification 1 Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) This aircraft is starting to look like abandonware. @BIGNEWY What is the situation with this aircraft? Bugs are going years without being addressed (and that ignores what happened with the AV-8B and its systems).
