Stab Aug System and Lateral Control

[uhntissbaby111]

Flying around in the DCS MiG I noticed that at high AoA there is very little roll authority with ailerons, one must use rudder. Which is to be expected. But I also noticed that there is zero automatic rudder movement, you must move them yourself. 

So I dug into the GAF manual to what, if any, augmentation/stability assists the aircraft should have. And in the flight controls section the manual states: “lateral control is provided mainly by the ailerons, assisted by the tailerons if the LEF are IN, and by the rudders at high AoA.”  And in the damper section it states: “Aileron-rudder-interconnect is provided at high AoA by the stab aug system to improve lateral stability.”

I have the AFCS on and the Damper mode engaged, and in high AoA flight while moving the stick laterally I see absolutely zero rudder movement. Am I misunderstanding the manual, or this something that is missing/broken in the DCS MiG?

I have several sources for this and was planning to make a bug report.  I just do not know what AOA it occurs at, but my guess is the 18-24 degrees where your aileron deflection is decreasing

Yeah, I see that they properly modeled the aileron deflection range decreasing at high AoA. But the rudder usage of AFCS seems to be missing. And like you said, I’d assume the system would start adding in automatic rudder inputs at around the same AoA that aileron deflection reduces
