Anyone still got access to a copy of Overscan's guide to Russian radar?

From memory that had a reasonable amount of info on how the GCI could direct the MiG-29 radar and give instructions on intercept speed, course, AB use etc...

For second picture, showing phases of Lazur intercept, the left side is showing HUD and right side showing HDD. It makes one mistake in that when you lock a target the heading tape should go away

The only commands really applicable are “B” to increase height when below target, “Fi” for afterburner when slower then target, 

Thw r (Gorka) is not GCI command but comes from own system depending on altitude of you, altitude of locked target, and what the setting of deltaH knob is. If I set it to -1, it will try to get me to maintain 1,000m lower altitude until weapon range.

Thanks, but I'd found that just before posting & it was the missing images that made me ask

Thanks - a blast from the past.

I heard that ED was planning to release the module in Q2 of this year. We only have 11 days left for Q2, so do we have any news?

I'm currently reading the GAF T.O, 1F-MIG29-1. I'm guessing the game manual will be an abbreviated version of the real one, less the functions the German version had.

FWIW...Just a little morsel of trend data in regards to a release date:

The CH-47 was available for preorder in April of last year, released in August,
Apache preorders stared in October of 2021, and released in March 2022,
The Hind was March 2021 with a release in June of that year,
And the F-16 was available for preorder July 2019, released in October.

For all of these modules the span from pre-order to release was about 3-5 months.

I expect no different for the Fulcrum. So I would keep the pitchforks stowed until November.

Well, I think the MiG-29 project is a little different from those, as we already have the FC3 version. Anyways, we got further confirmation from ED a couple of hours ago, confirming about the summer release (around 60-75 days) of the Mig-29 mentioning specifically this summer, less than 9 hours ago and again with such little time as summer is already starting, means they are very confident to have release in this summer. I attached the comment so you can see it yourself.

However, it would be nice if ED could give us the manual a lot earlier so we can start reviewing it.

I don't know why I want this plane so bad, I didn't even have the FC3 version of it, I don't know if there is other people in this situation. I really want to thanks the team for bringing us a new Redfor plane. Hope we will see more soon

[Fear-Factor]

Me as a not really jet pilot (started DCS with helos) got a while ago the Mig21 and F14 (both top modules).

Then few weeks ago ive jumped into the Mig29 and now its one of my best jets so far
To fly it with the "dumb" armament is just a blast and somehow i love it.
Cant wait for the FF version
