3 presets - beacon buttons

[YoYo]

On the navigation panel in the cockpit of MiG-29A, we have three Beacon presets to press, but hmm, I'm looking... where do I enter them? The Radio tab (settings in Mission Editor) doesn't have that option. Any idea?

I believe it is in the DTC?

Yes! here is a training flight I created from Vaziani to Senaki. My destination is Senaki with RSBN 1 so it is button 1, My first diversion is Kutaisi with RSBN 2 which is button 2 and my second diversion is Kobuleti with RSBN3 which is button 3

I have RSBM on the map, but I control them using the chanells knob and manual selection. So in DTC, the first three positions will always be saved as three beacon presets (buttons 1-3) but not from the fourth onwards (4th and more). Do I understand correctly?

Not sure if I understand correctly your questions. Let see how I proceed to create my flight DTC: first with the "POINT" tab I create points which will be "WAYPOINTS", "AIRDROMES" and "RSBN". Then I follow the tab order so The first 3 "POINTS" will be "WAYPOINTS", the next 3 "POINTS" will be "AIRDROME" and the last 3 "POINTS" "RSBN". After that "ROUTE" will be : WPT1(POINT1), WPT2(POINT2), WPT3POINT"), ARD1(POINT4). As far as I understand the navigation panel of the MIG29 can only accept 3 WPT , 3 A/D and 3 RSBN. Do I answer your question? At least I can create a flight like that

That's correct, but in this situation, I was wondering if only the first three channels would be connected to the MIG navigation, and the subsequent channels, starting from 4, would simply function as manual selection channels. So, whenever you add an RBSN using DTC, it sets the first three points as Beacon buttons, but not the rest. The rest will be manual selection, e.g., if you give 5 x RSBN here in DTC. Have you checked this?

I guess you're right. For me having 3 WPT with 3 RSBN and 3 ARD with corresponding PRGM is enough for the Mig 29 missions at this moment. I hope the manual will be more documented in the future on this matter.
