About pitching above Mach 1.0, I wouldn't say it "extremely" pitches up from my experience, and I've spent a couple of hours testing it. I did however had an issue with FC3 aircraft (my mod included) having uncontrollable pitch up caused by force feedback setting being on. I don't know why, but I've seen a lot of people on the internet having the same issue. So try turning it off and see if it changes anything.

Tested FC3 Su33, Su27 and Mig29S, didn't find that issue, I mean, not just piching a bit up where you need to trim the nose down, I mean like scaling up quite noticeable pitch up. Perhaps because the extra acceleration. Will try to test it a bit more later and compare again with FC3 Su27/Mig29. EDIT: Tested again, same results. This time I compared only vs Su27 at 1.0M and above. Of course if you don't trim the Su27 nose it will go up slightly, but then minimum joy pitch inputs have minimal pitch effects. That's not the case of the Mig31 where even with minimum pitch inputs I have noticeable pitch up/down effects and a continuous warning voice. Edited April 2 by Mandoble

I just checked, and I honestly don't understand the issue. I've accelerated to 1.6M, and when I tried to pitch up (it was actually somewhat stable without any inputs to the stick at those speeds) the only thing that happened is I got Rita bitching about critical alpha, which would be correct as, at those speeds it's pretty low (iirc around 10 units of AoA) and that's it.

BTW, might be the real aircraft behaves this way, I have no data at all. And yes, Rita is bitching histerically most of the time except in level flight.

Flown a little more and see some inaccuracies (just feeling of the aircraft of course, we don't have any documentation unfortunately). I'll see what can be tweaked and will add to the next update. 2
szcz13 Posted April 6 Author Posted April 6 (edited) UPDATE v2.1 Uploaded new update to User Files. As @Mandoble pointed out plane had some weird instabilities on transsonic speeds, so I've looked into it and realized that center of mass was in the wrong place - it was changed to a more logical one, along with adjusting the roll rate and other SFM parameters. Added a missing rear gear suspension animation, and overall it works and is usable, but unfortunately it seems that for now there are little SFM gear bugs. First is nose gear sinking into ground a little on landings if applied to much forward pressure on a stick. Second is a plane seems to do a "wheelie" until it drops to really slow speeds on landings. For know I can't find the issue of exact problem, but will keep looking into it. Also small but important addition - added functional kneeboard. Before that kneeboard wasn't generating. Besides the mod changes, I worked together with the DCS: Retribution team to add mod support to their campaign generator - so now it's available there too! Big thanks to @Raffson, @Starfire13, and @Drexyl for making it all come together. Edited April 6 by szcz13 3 3
skywalker22 Posted April 9 Posted April 9 On F-16 RWR there is no warnings of plane nor any incoming missiles. I bet its the same on other fighter jets as well. Would you be able to fix that? Now its impossible to fight against it, since you don't know from where it's coming.

skywalker22 Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Me in F-16, towards me (AI) Mig-31, so aircraft from this mod. No warning of it on AN/ALR-56M RWR what so ever in F-16. There is a missile warning (that red light is blinking), but also there is no missile simbology on RWR, ever. This is the only mod I have on pc, usually I don't have them, but I wanted to test how to fight against lomng rang missiles like R-33, R-37 and specially R-37M. But I can't since I don't have any clue from which side is coming, and where it is going.

Does missile have any RWR alert at all, at least at the very end? Or is it just like if you got shot with IR missile?

I got RWR alarm on both of them, and both from radar and missile going pitbull. Might be the issue with the F-16 or missile being shot in TWS by AI and guiding it right until it hits the target.

Do you see the any simbolgy for the Mig-31 on the RWR? R-33 and R-37 and fox1 and fox3 respectively, so they should appear on the rwr when they turn on their radars. But this is not worrying me as much as there is no simbology for the mig-31 on the rwr.

Yes, on F-18 I see warning on RWR, and on F-14 it shows AI. When iy locks you you get a lock warning, and when missiles go pitbull, you get launch alert and symbol. Edited April 9 by szcz13
BlackFalco Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Hi @szcz13, what's the difference between this mod and the Mig-31 by Musolo ( Red Flag ) ? Thanks!

From what I’ve seen, the two mods are quite different overall. The only real overlap is that we both used the same cockpit model at one point—though I’ve since replaced mine with a custom one. Other than that, I genuinely think my mod comes out ahead in most areas. But honestly it would be best if you tried it yourself. The differences are pretty obvious once you get hands-on, and I’m not here to trash someone else’s work on my mod's thread. 2

Would you please check it out what is wrong please? As mentioned, I have no other mods what so ever, this is the only one I use.

May I ask you : could you replace the R-37M model with the ones from Su-30 mod? I feel like they look better. Or anyway, its not a problem, I can replace editing lua file!

Yes, majority of soviet aircraft (even fighters) don't carry as much gun ammo as NATO fighters. MiG-31 carries only 260 rounds.
