correct as-is DCS MiG-29A Flight performance and air drag seems weird

It's a known claim but no. Already solved in Ru part of forums with SME and mechanical scheme. There is phisically two positions for flap, and leading edge - leading edge is scheduled independently for optimal performance at all times.

So the third button (Land) positively has no effect or function and is not tied to anything whatsoever?

Are you saying they have reported the issue on the Ru side?

I believe what was meant was that this was already discussed and cleared up on the Ru side. I read the same thing on a separate English forum that there is a misconception among us users about the flap panel, ie. people think its 3 buttons that only do 2 settings versus the reality of it being 3 buttons with 3 different settings as per some Mig-29 manual or documentation (Up, TO Flap + TO Scheduled Slats, LDG + LDG Scheduled Slats rather than what some assumed was just Flaps Up or Down with an unused middle button). 

It's more a comment on how the misconception above has been explained on the Ru side, perhaps worth making a note of this in the manual later down the road as it is both a very relevant system and of course just interesting technical knowledge (if its correct of course)!

Hi, 

takeoff and landing schedule the leading edge flaps differently. 

I would really love clarification for this. Becuase as far as I can tell in my testing, the leading edge flaps are down all the time with both settings. And nothing I could do could make them go up in “takeoff” flaps. And the LEF only have two settings, down or up.

Perfect, thanks
