I've been using this mod for a while now and it's really well made. The only flaws are: the rear view mirrors that are better to disable by folding them since the view is ugly and useless and the liveries that are only four (in addition to the standard one) and the mod is incompatible with the liveries of the Su-25A and the Su-25T. Also, it would be useful to be able to vary the contrast of the front TV screen since sometimes it is too bright and difficult to read. A nice addition could be the umpk glide bombs and the TV-guided ones. It would be really great if you could have a targeting pod.

So far so good, but the lower left MFD does not work at all, for now. The TV in the centre works in VR which is great. It is hard to ask mod makers to fix things these days it seems but I would say thank you and keep up the good work.

And where is the RWR, for gods sake?

Unfortunately, the operation of the MFD on the left was not simulated.

[Esac_mirmidon]

So the free mod doesnt have a visible RWR?

Do you realise how ungrateful you're coming across?

Someone put the time and effort into this, perhaps you could get the RWR working ?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Im just asking. Because testing this WONDERFUL mod, i wasnt able to find the RWR. THATS WHY IM ASKING

Dont know why you are extrapolating something else. Is not very polite to suppose others intentions without asking first personaly.

Im asking again, there is no visible RWR on this GREAT MOD THAT IM VERY GRATEFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS?

Thanks for any answer

PD: I know on the real Su-25SM3 version the RWR is on the MFD, thats why im asking if this MFD on the mod is not functional, are any kind of key to activate any superimposed RWR on top the MFD image or something similar, because the audio is working.

"Where is the RWR, for Gods sake" doesn't come across as a polite way to inquire, perhaps things are lost in translation if English isn't your first langauge, and yeah, it's a super cool mod indeed.

[Esac_mirmidon]

English is not my first language, not my intention to be unkind or ungrateful.

I was trying to emphasize i was unable to find the RWR. Thats all. Maybe that expresion is rude, i did not know.

Sorry for the misunderstood

[Saguanay]

Thanks for the mod.  Works good.   Pretty bird.   The NS430 GPS works great with it.

I installed this great mod, i find it in the mission editor, placed it but cant fly. I assigned like a client, there is not player in the options, i choose but cant take control. Any suggestion, please?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Probably need the FC3 fix? I wish one day the left MFD would work.

[pedrosura]

This is a great mod. I love the feel of it. If flies better than the SU-25 T

I agree with one of the comments about including weapons and pods available in the Su-25 T like the anti radiation Kh58 MPU missles, glide bombs, and such.

However the mod is great as is. The screen MFD with no functionality could be serve well by the type of datalink present in the Flankers. But of course, this is probably not possible with current tech and the way FC3 mods work.

[zsoltfireman]

Paintkit available?

[TRYZENTHAL]

Sorry, could it be that the skin of the Georgian Elbit Su-25 Scorpion could be made with MK-28 and GBU-12, thus giving Georgia the possibility of being used as well?

They're working on making the MFD right now, along with other stuff. The mod was initially released without the capabilities that the squadron had, like custom HUD symbology to help with lofting rockets, selecting airfields, etc., but they've since changed their mind and decided to work on it after receiving the amount of positive support they did.

Hello, did anyone else noticed that the fuel gauge appears to be incorrect?

According to the lua file in the "entry" folder, the aircraft carries 3000kg of internal fuel (100%) but the gauges are reading half.

I Compared to the Su-25A and its internal fuel is almost double... Im missing something here? 

[Saguanay]

If you eject, it crashes.   Future fix hopefully but for now you have to ride it in.

Idk if there's going to be an update, but you can fix it yourself as it's a pretty known bug in DCS mods. I'm not at home rn and I haven't looked at lua but I'm almost certain that the issue is caused by just one crew member being defined in plane's lua. You'd need to add a dummy-empty crew slot for it to work without crashing. I could look into it later. An update with mirror fix would be nice too.

Ok, so I looked into the Su-25SM3.lua and just as I thought there was only one crew member defined, which is an easy fix. Also, while testing it turned out that the pilot ejecting uses F-15 pilot model and not a Su-27 pilot. I also changed that. So to fix the bug change these lines:

crew_size        =   1,

            crew_members    =   {

                                    [1] =   {

                                                ejection_seat_name = "pilot+ejectionseat",

                                                drop_canopy_name = 12,

                                                pos =  {4,  1,  0},

                                                canopy_pos = {4,    1,  0},

                                            }, -- end of [1]

                                }, -- end of crew_members

to this:

crew_size        =   1,

            crew_members    =   {

                                    [1] =   {

                                                ejection_seat_name = 9,

                                                drop_canopy_name = 12,

                                                pos =  {4,  1,  0},

                                                canopy_pos = {4,    1,  0},

                                            }, -- end of [1]

 

                                    [2] =   {

 

                                            },-- end of [2]

                                }, -- end of crew_members

 

[Saguanay]

Pilot punches out, no CTD.  The canopy, seat and pilot show up as part of the ejection.   A pilot remains in the aircraft.   You can see him sitting there, no seat...oblivious to the impending doom.
