The Schlem is good for WVR, but what about BVR? From the way the manual looks, anything targeted that is displayed outside of the HUD, BVR or WVR mode, R-73, R-27 or R-77, can be displayed by the Schlem.
Please post the relevant excerpts in detail..
…..you can launch the R-27R1 with use of the HMS(Mig-29A), but you have to make visual contact with your target. So, the BVR is impossible with the Schlem. (“Schlem” translated to english means simply “HELMET”).
When not using the HMS, you see blips on the IPV screen, the CVM selects the most dangerous one from a group of ten detected targets. While are you waiting for Dmax, you`ve got time to handle some switches(air conditioning, cockpit illumination,.. 😀 ). You fire a missile just by pressing single button, it`s never been so easy. During that combat procedure you`re keeping your hands on stick and throttle. No doubt that Mig-29A outclasses the F-16A in BVR as well.
You seem to have a view that just by putting MFDs everything becomes ok and that encompasses the term “ergonomics”. Of course, anyone saying anything different- gee, hes criticizing a Russian wonder weapon.
Heh…you seem to have a view that by adding an analog gauge to the cockpit you`re automatically saying “that is poor ergonomics”. Therefore most of you “wessies” are having these cockpit ratings.
1. one CRT, all-analog gauges, like the Mig-29A, poor ergonomics :rolleyes:
2. three large color LCD with a few back-up gauges, like the Su-27SM, decent but not good ergonomics
3. all glass cockpit, Su-35UB mock-up cabin, good but not no way as good as the US. 😀
The sad thing is that you know a **** how russian cockpits work, because you never have flown the Mig or Su, you just like LCDs, like small kids. Complaining about “clutter and excess switchology” before having mastered the russian cockpit, not to mention the cyrilic alphabet seems to be very shortsighted. What I also ment was that it is ridiculous to value a cockpit in terms of “ergonomics” just by looking at the picture.
Do you have hands on experience with the Mirage 2000H as well? I have given you the exact quotes that were said to me,..
I never had and never wanted, but I`ve got hands-on experience with soviet aircrafts such as the mig-21, 29 and others from the maintenance POV. Please do not be angry with me, but all you`ve told me is nothing more than false roumours spread by some species.
Please see in comparison, which is more cluttered and which has a large centrally positioned color CRT, which many new pilots find more helpful and intuitive.
I`m getting some kind of advs banner “image hosted…”
FYI, for all your defence of RSK MiG, your experience with them may have been different though- heres another snippet direct from source, RSK MiG were busy trying to convince the end user to stick with CRT’s because they were “better” and “cheaper” than fragile LCDs, of course when local Russian industry started with MFDs, based on imported LCDs their tune changed overnight. And now they insisted that without MFDs cockpit would be obsolete. So much for these infallible gents, India has had bad experiences with MiG
Geez…..and what are you trying to prove with that? Those are ridiculous rumours again and no one care about them. You are making an elephant from a fly! Then why is India still using them, if they have had bad experiences with them. Even they want to buy new Migs-29 and modernize the old ones. This is a fact, which proves your claims to be wrong.

By the way, IIRC the M flew for the first time in 1986 and its development was finished only in 1992. So in 1985 it was probably in mock-up stage.
That is your paper project….
