DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum FAQ

[Esac_mirmidon]

As far as i know the HSI double white arrow points at the WP and the single yellow one points at the beacon

[Dača]

And like that you should get something like an automatic setup for radial interception which can countinue with VFR or IFR landings.

Pardon if my brainstorming is not correct.

There is one thing I still don't quite understand. How does it work when you select both a beacon and a waypoint ? What is then is actually depicted on the hud and HSI?

The beacon. If you press it it overrides WP/AD. Press it again to deselect it

Vietnamese L39NG carries instruments in Russian and can change measurement units from metric to imperial; it's not that strange

Yes, it should be fine.

Hello. Please tell me what navigation equipment will be used in the module: CWU, CWU-M (2204) or CWU-M (2205)?

Central Washington university? What do you mean? It gets RSBN, ADF, and dead reckoning in fast align mode

Most likely CWU-M(2204), because this unit is typical for WP export aircrafts.

The MiG-29 was equipped with three different navigation system computers: in Russian they are called: "ЦВУ-М(2205)", "ЦВУ" and "ЦВУ-М(2204)". And for these systems there are differences in the procedure for setting navigation during a cold start. That is why this question is of interest.

Exactly the same, navigation computer unit, model M, program 2204.

Inside Black Shark some of these units are already used (and not only them). Some of them may get reused in FF 29.

Could you tell me any of the procedure differences?

FC3 or FF? 
 

In the FF, the switch in 0.5 position usually drops pairs. 
 

But there is a secret with guns, rockets, bombs, to drop less then the usual salvo. 
 

The training mode switch. Turn that on and you can single drop bombs. Have smaller gun Bursts. And fire fewer rockets. 
 

In FC3, you’re screwed. 

Hi again did anybody find the training mode switch ?

How would manual selection of "PREPARE MAN - AUTO" switch work ? How to manually range target ?

You turn it on and jettison missiles. You can use the expected target range dial, or use KMOD to get one time range, not sure if it’s implemented

Sorry for taking your time. Can you instruct me where is the location of target range dial and KMOD functions inside cockpit? I still have to learn full fidelity options.

Target Range dial is on throttle

 I don’t know if KMOD is activated, it requires HUD symbol, and you to turn left and right repeatedly

Range dial is the white wheel, like a mouse scroll on throttle. Am I right ?

Is working KMOD labelled as "КД" on the hud ? I might have got that earlier.
