    Need some help with Cyrillic

    You mean you have a translated manual?!! Where where??!!

     

    I do have a russian MiG-29 manual in PDF format downloaded from....I forgot where.

    A Total of 149 pages, written in Russian. It seems to come from ages ago, the paper has gone yellow, with letters from a typing machine and hand drawn figures...Let me know if you are interested.

     

    But I would prefer to have a Su-27 or Su-33 manual since I am working on them instead.

     

    The MiG-29 manual is a declassified flightmanual by Alan R.Wise, published by Schiffer, a really well done manual. Google on it and u will find it.

    The Russian PDF manual I have already ;) Looks really old indeed.

    I am a manual hunter, but a SU-27/33 manual I havent seen yet.

    Aeyes,

    You may find this link helpful, since the cockpit shown is in English.

     

    Thanks OO, I know the Fulcrum site of the german JG73, and it indeed has helped me a bit in the past. I also have a fully documented translation of the MiG-29 manual, the puzzle starts to get to find out what description belongs to what panels and switches/buttons. Slowly but surely I am getting through the complexity of this planes avionics. ;)

    To Aeyes.

     

    Very interesting photos of MiG-29 panels. ;)

    Which one of MiG-29 modifications is it?

     

    Hi Olgerd,

     

    Sorry for the late reply, this time the forum didnt send me a notification when someone posted a reply, so hence the lateness coming back.

    Thanks all for helping !

     

    The pics come from a Slowak MiG-29, in Russian except for the Navigation and Radiochannels these are in english and are western made, funny mix though of these panels. Currently in service.

    Thanks a lot for the info! Really appreciate the help you guys give sofar, hope it isnt asking too much.

    Am I right that the above panel is for external lights? Because it seems more for internal lights, like the lamp test and floodlight for example.

     

     

    Or is this panel below for exernal lights instead and the above for internal lights ?

    The fuel problem is solved, apparently after enabling the Fuel pump the rest is automated upon starting the engines, similar to the SU-27 startup procedure.

     

    Now have arrived at the external lights:

    Looking at these turning knobs and the text, would it be so that the text changes here when turning a knob? would that seem logic according to what it says here and what would it probably say if so?

    Engine start controls are normally on the right, near the circuit breakers and radar channel selector. But in your screenshot gallery I can only see the circuit breaker switches - the radar channel and engine start panels are replaced by some big black new panel I can't read. You sure this isn't a customized German variant?

    Hi,

     

    You are right, the engine start panel is moved forward directly right of the righ knee. I have the functionality of the engine start, also have the translated Dash manual, but lack the part where you tell the plane to start sucking up fuel and assumed it would be on the fuel panel at the left.

    The big 'black' panel in this Slowak AC is for IFF and Tacan channels and this panel is in english. The rest of the pane is in cyrillic though unlike the German variants which have more translated panels.

    So I will continue to look for that fuel stuff ;)

    Doesn't look like a startup panel but rather some emergency fuel and engine controls. Note that most of them are wired shut and probably never used. Roughly:

     

    1. Drop wing tanks

    2. Emergency accumulator (?) - left, right

    3. Accumulate (position label of switch number 2?)

    4. "Left cover" (?)

    5. Accessory box fire extinguisher (left, right)

    6. "Right cover" (?)

    7. Closed (position label of switch number 4)

    8. Closed (position label of switch number 6)

    9. Afterburner

    10. Release into air, left/right

    11. Emergency shutdown (position label of switch number 9)

    12. Emergency generator shutdown

     

    Interesting photos, where did you take these?

    These pics come from a Slowakian MiG-29, see the gallery for a preview at http://www.cockpits.nl

    Thanks for the info re this panel, really helpful. now I have to start looking elsewhere in the pit for master fuel/engine feed , so if anyone knows how/where...

    is this Aeyes the guy who makes the amazing SuperPits for F4 ??

     

    And are you now making them for lockon ? :)

     

    Hi there,

    Well I have been looking at a Lockon pit lately, they are pretty nice already.

    Not sure how my pits would fit in, but it is not an impossibility. Am doing a MiG-29 for F4 currently, great plane and pit. :wink:

    Some more help please

     

    Thanks everyone for the great help!

     

    I have one more question re the MiG-29 annunciator lights.

    The afterburner lits up 2 warninglights for the left and right engines.

    LH ENG reheat(AB) and RH ENG reheat(AB). Does anyone know what it says in Cyrillic in the MiG-29 ?

    I know the SU-27 uses 'forsazh', but I expect the MiG-29 to have something else. My Lomac version doesnt display cyrillic warning lights but in english...

    Hi all, I have a request for those of you that can read cyrillic.

    In the MiG-29 there are 5 annunciators (warning lights) at the frontright panel at 1 o'clock that I would like to know of what they mean.

    It shows the words: MACnO left, MACnO right and MACnO KCA.

    And in green: TPNMMEP P.H. and TPNMMEP 3nEPOH

    See the attached picture.

    Thanks in advance for yr help!
