IvanK Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) We have a stunning 3d external model and a stunning new cockpit model .... except there are a lot of inoperative/non animated instruments in the new cockpit. Whilst we wait for the AFM/PFM how about a little cockpit love to tie us over :) These are the things in order of priority (imo) that I would like to see: RWR: Signal strength Yellow Arc inoperative.... entering the DCS battle space without RWR is plain Stupid. AFCS PANEL: Non of the mode lights illuminate so knowing what mode you are in is problematical.... should work in identical fashion to SU27 (that works just fine). Mechanical System Indicator: The Leading edge Flap position indicators are inoperative. Countermeasures Qty: this is inoperative Gear Handle : doesnt move Intake Ramps display : Its stuck on 0% .... Full Open HYD/Pneumatic indicator : Inoperative at least get the indicators in the green band OXY: again inoperative at least get the indicator showing its usable Brake Pressure : Another one stuck at Zero Navigation Controls: System control is inoperative ... though I suspect a lot of code would be needed here to get it running in a realistic manner.

Texac Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think with the PFM update we can expect to see a cockpit with more animated/working systems. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 They can go ahead and make a full simulated Mig-29A. Actually Is not a super secret weapon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33-DFTC Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I really hope to see an update to the MiG-29 in 2018. It needs it !

_SeaFox_ Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Not even Su-27/33 do have fully "working" cockpit and features. For example riple quantity indicator does not move when changed, thus you do not know what value it is set in. Also, you cannot set it to qty 1 and drop only 1 bomb at the time. Su-25/25T have this working properly. I hope Mig29 will get more love and will have this cared about. Currently, the most pressing issue is the navigation, because as "map display" was removed and indication lights are not working, you have no way of knowing in what waypoint you are currently pointing. Unfortunatelly Mig29's HUD does not contain this information like Su-25T's does. Edited February 15, 2018 by _SeaFox_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 If we could get a clickable cockpit we could pretend its full fidelity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We have a stunning 3d external model and a stunning new cockpit model .... except there are a lot of inoperative/non animated instruments in the new cockpit. Whilst we wait for the AFM/PFM how about a little cockpit love to tie us over :) These are the things in order of priority (imo) that I would like to see: I doubt you will have much luck with that suggestion, but if the purpose is just to fix the most glaring shortcomings then I don't quite understand your priorities :) As far as I can tell what annoys people the most is the lack of navigation info - here it should be possible to employ the navigation panel for the most basic function of displaying the currently selected waypoint by activating the three top button-lamps for the purpose. AFCS PANEL: Non of the mode lights illuminate so knowing what mode you are in is problematical.... should work in identical fashion to SU27 (that works just fine). Yes no arguments there. Mechanical System Indicator: The Leading edge Flap position indicators are inoperative. Yes but since the LEFs are operated as an automatic function of the FCS with no manual control, its hardly the most pressing issue :) Countermeasures Qty: this is inoperative Yes that would be nice to have working. Gear Handle : doesnt move Yes because this has a practical function as it provides a quick visual reference to tell whether the gear is up or down - but at least there is the indication on the mech system's panel. Intake Ramps display : Its stuck on 0% .... Full Open HYD/Pneumatic indicator : Inoperative at least get the indicators in the green band OXY: again inoperative at least get the indicator showing its usable Brake Pressure : Another one stuck at Zero Yes but none of these really matter with the current level of modelling(SFM and simple system) of the aircraft. Navigation Controls: System control is inoperative ... though I suspect a lot of code would be needed here to get it running in a realistic manner. Definitely for the full complexity, but as mentioned at the top, it should be possible to provide at least the most pressing information(currently selected waypoint) by simple means. Fuel Display: Its not correct see other posts on this subject https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=53797 Heh no, but I doubt we will see that addressed anytime soon - functionality aside, the -29S(in your screenshot) doesn't even have the right gauge :).

Aluminum Donkey Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 While we're being nitpicky, the flaps can only be lowered to the 50% position. You can't lower them to 100% for landing. The external model for the MiG-29 is spectacular, it would be awesome if they released a really accurate, detailed PFM for this fighter! Fine details of the systems I'm not so picky about, as long as the radar, weapons systems and general flying-around related stuff all works :) Of course, I'd love a full-fidelity MiG-29 module, even if it's the A model with the crappy radar... but wouldn't we all? That being said, I'd still prefer it if ED fixed all the stuttering first, and then got Miggy wit it. AD Kit: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5800X w/ Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, 2 x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @3600MHz C16, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Windforce 8GB, EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 PSU, HP Omen 32" 2560x1440, Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fitted with Leo Bodnar's BU0836A controller. --Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground, and having all the rules and regulations get in the way!

Esac_mirmidon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The flaps thing has been discussed before. Thats normal behaviour in the real Mig-29 " You must think in russian.."

33-DFTC Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Please add analog axis brake control. I'd love it too. I'm being a bit selfish here but after upgrading my setup with a MCG Pro, I'd love to use it fully. Unfortunatly that is not the case at the moment.
