Added to FAQ:

Do I want this if I already own the Flaming Cliffs version?
If you are a fan of simulation of complex real world systems, then yes, you very much want this. The Flaming Cliffs version for everything but FM is very simplified for ease of use, based on what Flaming Cliffs was meant to be. The MiG-29A Fulcrum will be like learning a new aircraft, from navigation to employing weapons and all the challenges expected for this complex Russian fighter.

New video!

NOTE 1: When is it coming? We are still shooting for this month, but we cannot give an exact date until testing is complete.
NOTE 2: In a later video, I'll discuss the ADF Panel.
NOTE 3: I am not at liberty to discuss 3rd party products. Please keep comments on topic.
NOTE 4: I'm still just learning this aircraft, so my skills (particularly in in-close IFR), need work. I know.

The last Mig-29 video, show configurable RSBN/PRMG with Channels and names on mission editor.

Other point has the sun visor on helmet.

And individually folded mirrors, it’s novelty I believe?

For those who haven't seen the MiG-29A tease on ED's Discord.

I put it here for you, we have independent mirrors and a nice parachute.

Not to mention altimeter is properly inaccurate

Wags mentioned in the last video that using the DTC function, we’re able to use more than the mentioned six waypoints (3 AD‘s and 3 WPT‘s). Does this mean, using the DTC function I can create a Flightplan with let’s say 15 waypoints and the navigation system is able to alter between these in auto function or did I get it wrong? 
 

Second question, maybe I missed it. What does the beacon buttons do? Wags selects #2….because I understood that the NDB‘s are selected via the com rotary on the left console.

Thanks in advance 

 

cheers

I also wanted to ask same question. At least the first one.

And for second question, I think beacon waypoints are the ones programed to airfields. Beacons such as ARK, RSBN. Maybe someone can correct me.

[Vakarian]

It was quite clearly explained. You can have a as much points as you want, but the aircraft will know only 6 of those at any time and of those 6 only 3 can be airfields as you can assign only 3 points to the Airfields tab in the DTC and 3 points to the Waypoints tab.

What wasn't touched on (or I missed it) is can you update which points will be loaded in the aircraft while on the ground only (I assume so as the ground menu is the only way you can reach DTC interface while in-cockpit).
