What's the reason for this caution?

Occurs when he flies inverted - is it something to do with fuel starvation?

Red lamp above the AoA/G meter is master caution. On the right warning panel 4th from the top is "550kg left" warning (blinking in the video above). I guess negative G triggers the sensor into false warning.

Well spotted!

A little experiment with our own FC Mig-29A. 100% fuel used.

2:00 Invert aircraft

3:10 AEKRAN reports 600L fuel remaining

3:53 550L warning

12:46 Engines cut out

13:09 Level aircraft - engines restart automatically

13:43 550L warning extinguishes

13:46 AEKRAN 600L warning extinguishes

It took 1min 53secs for our 550L warning to appear after inverting compared to the RL aircraft which appeared immediately. Also at no point did our master caution sound, not even when the engines conked out.

Flaming Cliffs is extremely simplified.

That cockpit looks like it’s having a panic attack
