rrohde Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I've noticed that when on the ground the landing gear can be retracted and the 29 collapses onto the tarmac; should that be happening with weight-on-wheels?

Rudel_chw Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The real MiG-29 has no WoW safety trigger, as the handle has a lock forcing the pilot to pull the handle before moving it up or down.

rrohde Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Ah yes, thanks guys - good to know. The above video showcases nicely what happens in DCS for me when I fat-finger the controls. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think this is true for most aircraft in DCS and in RL. I know for Sure the SU-25 and Mig-29 in DCS but I have never try on all of them. I know the F-16 and F-117 will do it in RL http://www.f-16.net/g3/var/resizes/f-16-photos/album30/aec.jpg?m=1371900450 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Mars Exulte Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Can confirm Su-25 does it as well... I had a "pilot" years ago set to permadeath who I killed after accidentally hitting the wrong button while taxiing. Also, I've seen RL video specifically of a MiG-29 raising the gear before he came off the ground during takeoff with the expected fiery belly drag. How it happened, I have no idea, but it is physically possible. -edit same incident as the above video I believe, but from a different perspective.

Dr_Arrow Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It is also a safety feature on the Su-25, when the brakes fail or you are running out of runway (aborted takeoff) - you are supposed to retract the landing gear on the ground in order to stop the aircraft as the last measure.

rrohde Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 How interesting, Dr_Arrow. Never knew that - but it makes sense.

Alfa Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Back when they ran the state acceptance trials for the Su-33 and original MiG-29K(9.31), there was an incident in which the pilot of the first MiG-29K prototype(no. 311) for some reason accidently raised the landing gear while on the carrier - causing the aircraft to collapse onto the deck.

rrohde Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Alfa - another nice anecdote.

AeriaGloria Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think the Russians have always had a different philosophy with safety systems, often relying on pilot knowledge to prevent failure, which has a failure point if you can’t afford lots of hours of training Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
