Some questions about Mig29 / pilot / nav points

Hello

I have some questions about All Mig29.

I saw that video from Flaming Cliff 3 :

On this video, we can see the pilot onboard and the upper right "tv" instrument is different. We can see the Navigation points and targets.

How can I have that ? (pilot in cockpit and this instrument ?) I have the Flaming Cliff 3 module.

Then, during a navigation, If I don't have this "TV Navigation map", how can I know on witch wp I'm heading to ?

Thanks

This is the old MiG-29 version and ours is more realistic with the HUD repeater. You can't change that.

Enable pilot by pressing rshift + p

You fly directly to the waypoint if the o is in the middle of the HUD around the + in the middle

That video is quite old. AFAIK The real Mig29S actually doesn't have that ability, so they removed it for the ingame Mig29S. What you get is a HUD repeater.

You can cycle through the waypoints, but yes navigation in the Mig29 is a bit tricky now.

*sniped :)

Ok, I didn't knew that.

That doesn't work. That work for other airplanes like the SU33, M200C, BF109... But not for that one.

So no indication on which WP number we are heading to ?

Yeah, it's a bummer. Not sure if that's how it is in the real Mig29S, but these planes were designed primarily as short range interceptors to work in concert with GCI. They wouldn't need many waypoints for that role.

Then the pilot is not modeled in the MiG-29.

No waypoing number will be shown, but you can use the Kneeboard to mark your position and then see how close you are to which waypoint.

Thanks guys for your help !

Not in the sim. When they removed navigation from the HDD, they didn't replace the loss with what exists in the real aircraft. There's a panel that allows you to program up to 6 waypoints. You know which waypoint is selected by a switch position and which of 3 buttons is pressed. Hopefully that'll be implemented someday. Until then...

I'd expect it to be added when the AFM is done and the module is available as a separate (non-FC3) module.

Time will tell... Until that time comes, navigation in the Mig is something for a PITA

Is this switch indication implemented now? When I change waypoints I see nothing changing in the cockpit of the MiG-29S that might indicate which current waypoint is selected.

No. Unfortunately, the navigation panel remains unanimated.
