Spudknocker's Mig-19 Review Video

The radar seems to update the contact position constantly on its scope, instead of updating with each sweep so it looks like a digital 4th gen with extrapolation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can't say if it's realistic or not that the radar sweeps right to left instead of side to side in a back and forth manner, but that caught my eye too. I have confidence in the team behind the MiG-19 though.

I notice Spud's cockpit is in English :D will certainly help mashing buttons, I mean, uhh, training.

Also unless I'm blind or looking at the wrong spinny thing didn't that Farmer touch down at 300km/h?

izmrud search radar is a pair of antennae set on one constantly rotating turntable as opposed to later mechanically sweeped planar arrays with only one antenna that wags back and forth.

Ah that's so interesting, thanks for sharing!

Two questions:

- Whats going on with the piper just before the merge? What does this jiggling mean?

It is at the tail end of the predicted bullet stream: a 15 second burst.

- The radar seems to update the contact position constantly on its scope, instead of updating with each sweep so it looks like a digital 4th gen with extrapolation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We'll fix that before release.

The moment at 15min 36 sec, right?

Also, when the F-5 was hit, the piper was dancing way below the impact point, while this was commented as "radar assisted".

And whats the difference of depicted "radar assisted" to the mode when two reflectors show artifical horizon, tracked target outline and impact point?

I think the radar was off.

The RP-5 is a simple radar, that is why it uses two antennas, one for searching and one for tracking.

What the MiG-19P has is a second gunsight, where a circle will show the position of the tracked target. You have to align the ASP-5 Optical gunsight with the AR-18-8 radar gunsight and shoot when the ASP-5 ring aperture says you are in range.

On the edge of my seat waiting for an educational video about that mode.

Noticed that as well instantly

Great to hear

Having to use a flashlight in the middle of the day to see the cockpit switches? M-2000C pit is also very dark, Harrier as well, not as dark as the M-2000C however.

Welcome to DCS...

But yes, RAZBAM's cockpits in particular are most affected, but others aren't that much better anyway

New video from Spudknocker showing off the weapons

You should've took a youtuber with a better aim :lol:

Thank you for posting the video. :thumbup:

Weapons missing ?!

Where is the RS-2U missil ?

And do the MiG-19p got also the R-3R missil?

They will put lather ?

R-3S currently in game is still over-performing after update in latest patch, pulling 17 G's max:

Last time I tested GAR-8 (Aim-9b) in game pulled 10.2 G's max.

The Version of the MiG-19 we're getting, the MiG-19P, or Farmer-B, only has two AA-2 missiles that were added late in its production. The RS-2U is used on the MiG-19PM or Farmer-E. However the Farmer-E also had all of its cannons removed so Im glad we're getting the 19P Version

The RS-1U was the first soviet air to air missil and was fitted in MiG-19, according different internet sources and pictures..

I think is only for the PM versión, not the P.

On the edge of my seat waiting for an educational video about that mode.

Should be soon, the training missions for radar are almost ready now.

I don't know

I think is only for the PM versión, not the P.

I don't know but referring some web sources is:

MiG-17PFU : 2x RS-1 Missile

MiG-19 : 2x RS-1U Missile

MiG-19P : 2x RS-1U ? or 2x R3S (is MiG-19PT upgrade?) Missile

MiG-19PM : 4x RS-2U

MiG-19S : 4x RS-2US ? or 4x R3S Missile

RS-1, RS-2, RS-1U, RS-2U, RS-2US, R-55, R-55M: name Kaliningrad K-5, NATO : AA-1 "Alkali"

R-3S, R-3R: name Vympel K-13, NATO : AA-2 "Atoll"

Ad.1 No

Ad.2 No

Ad.3 No/Yes

Ad.4 Yes

Ad.5 No

Existed three variants of this missile:

RS-1U, first variant for MiG-17PFU and Yak-25K

RS-2U, second variant exclusively for MiG-19PM,

RS-2US, third variant for Su-9, MiG-21PFM, MiG-21M and MIG-21MF

R-3S was adopted only for MiG-19P as a upgrade in early 60's, some chinese clones had another armament, but those are different aircrafts from the original MiG-19.

Ok thank you :D

One more video from Spudknocker:

That video of radar is pure let down... a shame really... seeing how updates are not synced, no clouds, radar cell resolution of AESA, ...

I really hope that the postponed release will improve these as else it will be a no buy from me...

p.s. what's with cockpit illumination... flashlight in the middle of the day to see anything?

Here is a great post showing how it should look like approximately.

Now targets look like something from a digital radar display while the radar is doing a 4 bar scan (according to the refresh rate)

Other issue seems to be that the radar targets act as if the radar was stabilized. I don't really see a shift in the picture as ownship bank angle changes. (Ground returns look fine, it is only about target returns!)

Appreciate how scan bar literally paints the ground return with its pass. Now to make it paint contacts in this way(contacts now lag, but with some kind of their own logic of lag separate from the ground clutter. WIP or feature?) and it would look ready! Good job!

Another question: should output fade until the next sweep or still be present?
