English Version of Mig-29

Recommended Posts

I was just watching a YT video on the NATO or West German version of the Mig-29 where I notice most of the controls and labels in the cockpit have been converted over to English.

Is there a way to do that in DCS. I find it very confusing trying to know what controls I am supposed to be using when everything's in Russian.

I agree, we also need russian versions of the f/a- 18, f16 and a10.

Those pesky MiGs pop up everywhere. Here is a US version apparently!

Where should this file mod go and what should the file line look like?

While I can select the english version in the settings special window the english version of the cockpits don't show up.

 

It’s been a while since I installed it, so I don’t remember exactly how it went ... the file does not include install instructions?

By following the instructions given with the file it told me to overwrite my "liveries" file in saved games which did away with all my other aircraft "liveries" such as all the F-5E liveries.

Where I had several to choose from now i only have 2.

What it should tell you is to copy the three MIG-29 cockpit files and put them in the "Liveries" folder with all the others. Not to overwrite the liveries folder.

Now I don't know how to get the others back without a full reinstall.

Hate to do that with all the modules I've purchased.

I dont want to start a new topic here, because it might be obsolete what I am asking, as people here talk about an  english mod.

I watched grim reapers Su27 and Mig29 tutorials from 2018 and he has not an english cockpit but english HUD symbology and letters. To follow his tutorials it would be quite useful for me to have it set accordingly.

But if I do as he suggests go into the flaming cliffs custom menu and try to find the customized cockpit as english variant, it just does show "default" to me. Was that option taken away? Or how can I activate the english HUD symbology?
