nullIt's the "thing" your nose wheel is attached to. 

That I know of. But I am not sure what tutorial meant with this. I thought it was some "lever" inside cockpit. "Keep in mind that the strut is placed behind pilot seat".

On second thought was it to raise awareness of caution during taxi ?

[Vakarian]

It was meant to make you aware that the wheel is behind you and to take that into account when turning so you don't turn too late or too early

Roger that. Thank you for clearing this out!

Am I the only one, that is a little disappointed about the amount of "yellow cross" switches in a FF module? aka unclickable switches.
I know that in almost every module there are 'some' dead switches, but I prefer it if they are clicky anyway.

Maybe there is stuff that will be added later, but right now I find it a bit odd.......

I haven't gotten to know all the ones that are working yet

But, yes, it's better to have it switchable even if not functional.

Anyone know the position of drop parachute button?

Yeah, behind throttle

I've got a question regarding how the MiG-29s live GCI (Lazur system) will be implemented in the upcoming full fidelity module. Will the Lazur/GCI guidance require a live player to be present as a ground or airborne operator, actively guiding the pilot? Or will there be an AI implementation, similar to how AWACS currently works in DCS, where you can interact with it thru the \ menu and select which target youd like to be guided toward? Ideally, could it be interchangeable so that GCI could be provided by either a human operator or an AI, depending on the mission setup?

It would be nice if you could have a jester wheel or a george or petrovich set of commands, and she would be called Sasha. From the wheel you could get her to lock targets kinda like you can get Jester to do, but she works off of the available ground based radar assets.

I hope GCI sets the target as IRL.

[AeriaGloria]

I don’t think we’ll know what they plan for Lazur until release or Wags video.

Hey I have the NS430 enabled for the MiG-29A but it's not appearing in game, why is that?

Hi, 

please ensure you have both NS430 options enabled, the base version and the MiG-29A

For a moment, I'm going to ignore the fact that you've ignored my repeated requests as to what manual was referenced in the development of this aircraft, and focus on this particular thing.

It would have been appreciative to know in advance that the cost of this module, could include the cost of the NS430, of which I feel is a failure on ED's part as I was not aware I would be having to pay any additional money to try to make this aircraft relevant in modern environments. I feel this is a major shortfall in marketing and consumer transparency and should be placed in the description of the module itself so people can see that if they wan X they're going to have to pay for Y.

For work of this module, you must also own the DCS: NS 430 and DCS: MiG-29A modules.

Or do you mean that they should warn the users that it's not capable of using GPS?

I replied and asked you to check you have both versions of the NS430 enabled, it is usually the reason the device does not show. 

I have hidden some of your replies, I understand you must be frustrated but please do not break our forum rules. 

If you are still stuck feel free to PM me I will be happy to assist you if you are still having issues.

thank you
