Interesting videos from real-life Su-27 and Mig-29 HUD views

[dok_rp]

Hello guys,

 

I was browsing around youtube and I came across these interesting videos depicting real shots from the HUD's of the Su-27 and Mig-29. Since there are very few videos on the internet on the matter, I wanted to show these ones here.

 

On the first one there is some interesting symbology on the HUD which is not available in Lock on. I wonder if someone who's familiar with Russian or with these modernized HUD's could give some information on that.

 

Another interesting thing is the jamming signal in the beginning of the video. Never had I though that it'd clutter the HUD that bad in real-life. I imagine there must be a way to de-clutter it as it seems a little obstructive to the pilot.

 

This is the Su-27 video:

 

 

The second interesting video is from a R-73 firing exercise. There are two things that struck me silly in this video:

 

1) The micro-instant turbulence the plane goes through the minute it crosses the smoke trail of the missile. I didn't know it interfered with the plane. It was a little detail that impressed me.

 

2) The enormous vibration the plane is put through when the pilot is pulling G's away from the launch. It's quite impressive the amount of force those wings must have been submitted to.

 

This is the video:

 

 

Since they are pretty interesting videos I thought of sharing them. I am very sorry if these same ones have already been posted before. I did a quick search and found nothing on the matter, so I decided to post them. However, in case my search was not thorough enough, I apologize.

I remember Yoda's great LRM mod for FC1 featured a shutter when pulling high G's. Many people thought that it was unrealistic to shake pulling high G's. Obviously it is not a smooth ride while doing it.

 

Cool vids. Both been posted before, but they are a must watch anyway.
