…..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.
Thanks for the info but in Perkhevat (sp?) mode dont all blips except one disappear, so is the 29 A is better than the -16 A as far as radars SA goes, does it have true TWS? :diablo:
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.
I think we are speaking a different language not English for you to mangle my statements so
As regards kids, now you know my age heh? Next thing you will be trying to convince us all that even spaceships should only have dial pointers and anyone saying otherwise- kill him, kill him :p 😀
1. What makes you think i am a wessie?
2. As I have already said many times, its not analogue dials but placement of the sole CRT or MFD that matters, look at the Mirage 2000H cockpit vs the 29 A.
3.Ergonomics is much more than just MFDs
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.
Well you are equally stubborn and unable to listen to other pov :p
I`m getting some kind of advs banner “image hosted…”
Try googling for Vayu Sena, and then going to IAF cockpits section
The tripod website does not permit hotlinking I had forgotten
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.regards

Well , for one they arent rumours, they were fact
Second, MiG is being co-opted now, because they have a good deal already integrated and the IAF wants the upgrade asap, not wait to tinker with a Indo-Israeli- French hybrid
Third, Fedorovs Irkutsk is now involved, so thats better from IAFs pov
Fourth, it is open secret in IAF that MiG has really sc*rewed up in the past
in terms of their commitment to customer and often overhyped claims
