Didn’t have much time to explore the module yet.
EO seems more detailed than in FC3, making it more difficult to spot with
My wheel appears a bit sunk after landing

Is the RPM gauge in the original MiG labelled with latin letters as well? Seems weird. I have everything in cyrillic except the RPM gauge.
Very odd.
Does anyone have the actual designation of the instrument as installed in the MiG-29A we have in DCS? I find it unlikely, even for a soviet export version of the MiG, to feature a single instrument labelled using the latin alphabet.
The MiG-21 and other Soviet fighters use “оборотов” for example.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the instrument here was not as delivered from factory.
Well googling that brings up a lot of pictures with the instrument labelled in Cyrillic ( обороты ) as I would expect from a soviet cold war fighter although there are a few pictures using RPM as well as both Cyrillic and french for some reason. The original instrument appears to be Cyrillic only though
We’re all guilty of that. When we first flew the MiG-29 in FC2/3 or whenever? The power + the absolute nothing that the MiG-29 weighs is immediately intoxicating. It turns you back into a 17 year old who just found themselves on a back road and you just got you license.
For a lovely spell, you’re suddenly Palpatine: UNLIMITED POOOOOOOWWWEEERR
And then you discover those limit are very real.

This is a really tempting one. Such a sexy airframe, but I have the FC3 version and hardly fly it (or the -19 and -21 hangar queens).

Wanted to test the navigation a little bit.
We got this handly little what I think is a RSBN-4N (in the sim it’s just called RSBN Car). So with the MiG-29 we can do beacon navigation to pretty much anywhere with custom signals. Hope the Fishbed will get an update to take advantage as well. There’s also equipment to set up custom PRMG that I’ll try later.
Got my navigation programmed in the INS. Brought the Garmin as well. I really don’t remember much on how to operate it, for now I used it for a direct to URSS to crosscheck if what I did in the INS makes sense. It is quite elaborate to program everything in the DTC system.
Leaving Mozdok
The autopilot is a bit twitchy.
Scrambling…
Accidently brought this weird futuristic device with me…
Fox one?

Gudauta has no radio navigation signals of its own…
But now we can manually place this localizer…
… and this glideslope emitter.
Works perfectly!

Now my thread on the ED forums asking about this peculiarity was moved into the bug section, locked and tagged as reported. All I wanted was to understand …

So a spot of good news, the 3D model and textures are unencrypted. I’m already seeing skins appearing on the user file section.

Use the landing mode if you can, and totally keep her a bit deeper in the throttle. The plane is surprisingly stable at slow speed (once you get it slow enough).

What curves are people using? I’m finding it ridiculously twitchy

I use around 10 on pitch, 15 on aileron. But then again I fly the Mossie with a very small curve in pitch so maybe I am not the best person to ask^^
