Does anyone know why the RPM gauge is labelled using the latin alphabet? I have found photos of the real cockpit where this is also the case and I find it very odd as everything else seems to still use the Cyrillic alphabet.

Was the MiG-29A really delivered from factory with the RPM gauge labelled like this or is that a later addition?

 

 

Edit: No, it does not depend on the cockpit language. Every other instrument is labelled in Russian using the Cyrillic alphabet except for the RPM Gauge which is labelled "RPM", not "обороты". I found photos of a real MiG-29A cockpit showing the same. My question is whether this was a later modification or for some reason the export version had a single instrument labelled using a English designation in the latin alphabet

Here is a screenshot. Note that the other instruments are labelled in Russian except for the RPM gauge, hence my question

Yes I know, hence my question. I find this peculiar.

Maybe people misunderstand my question. It's not about the DCS implementation, it's about the actual aircraft. Someone tagged it as "check cockpit language last night", hence my edit and the screenshot.

Now that you pointed it out, I too find that odd. Every other part of the cockpit in real life is Cyrillic, but only this is in Latin or English....

Thanks @BIGNEWY,

It's obvious that this is actually how the gauge is labelled in real aircraft but I wouldn't expect this from a coldwar jet build in the 80ies, so I was wondering how this came to be.

As I understand it should depend on your cockpit language selection in special tab, but it does not seem to be working correctly. 

It is reported, but thank you for highlighting it.
