Basic Fundamentals DCS World: MiG 29 Radar BVR RWS STT

[@Surpriseify]

Sorry about your mother bud, thank you for these tutorials!

[@OverkillSimulations]

My pleasure!! :)

[@Darksagan]

15:36 BVR RWS STT Starts here Great tutorial.

[@jabonemalone4065]

Another great tutorial :). One minor thing to correct. The A on the hud. Yes it does let you know you got a lock. But its more of a visual IFF, what it is really telling you, is that the target you are locked on to is hostile. That A will be replaced by AFR if its a friendly. its good if your in ACM using Boresite, HMD, or Vertical Scan mode. You can tell if your locked onto a friendly, or hostile target without having to refer to the BVR radar. But it only shows IFF if you have your radar on, and is not off. The EO mode is just the IRST sensor, and it will show everything as hostile. So its always good to turn your radar on for a split second to make sure your aren't shooting down a friendly :). Another awesome video tutorial. Im a big fan of the fulcrum. And its good to see tutorials being made to this Iconic bird. Sorry about your mother. Life can throw us all curve balls at time. I hope shes recovering alright. Thanks again :D.

Thank you for contributing to this awesome channel. Your comments are a gold mine!

I usually fall asleep ^watching any tutorial (thanks to the job I have), but at this I rarely even blinked. Thank you for this tutorial, I got a lot of information from this video, and from the others you have too.

[@jimlthor]

I'm 2 years late, but just trying out the MIG 29 for the first time. Thanks for the info, and I actually learned something from the beginning. I didnt know about the Autopilot stuff..

[@nialball9023]

To correct the cross track error you should have turned hard to the right and flown at 90 degrees away from the course indicator. As soon as the arrows start to merge you should turn hard back towards them. The basics of navigation :)

[@TheGranicd]

Small correction its ПР(PR - eng.) in russian for launch authorised. short of пуск разрешен - launch resolved.

[@sthompson3]

Public service announcement. If you came here like I did looking for radar information per the title you can skip the first 15:30.

[@squid11160]

Just showing my appreciation for your work by means of this comment. Thank you so much!

[@OverkillSimulations]

Thank you very much!! Greatly appreciated

[@squid11160]

@@OverkillSimulations I just read through some shitty comments. It's like people paid for a service and are grumpy that your (obviously hobby) video guides don't stand up to their expectations. The nerve. If I were you, I'd pick up the useful criticisms and apply fixes where I need/want and completely ignore those dickheads who don't have basic manners. Thank you once more

The minimum range for launching a missile does not necessarily mean it would not be effective at even closer range. Of course it's harder to maneuver for the missile at close distance. But the main problem is: missiles do have a fragmentation war head, which explodes near the target. So if your are too close to the target, chances are the missile would damage your own aircraft as well. Basically the same thing like flying too low while dropping bombs.

[@therocinante3443]

Excellent video man. I've never felt a want to fly any of the soviet jets until recently and this tutorial really helped me learn :)

[@Firespectrum122]

He starts talking about the Radar at 15:34.

[@OverkillSimulations]

Yeah sorry... I know I rambled for a bit on this one...

[@Harimaru1337]

For me on the Mig29 those dots(as it is on 27:00) when there are more targets, it just moves fast from up to bottom really fast, and it does not locks on any target, and when it does it targets or should I say locks on to something empty in the air.

[@sbelcl]

That's targets ECM blocking your radar.

[@shillen65]

Nice video, Pal! Short question: never saw spawning aircrafts via F10 menue... Where can i read about that function? It´s a very handy function for training purposes, so I´d like to include it in my own missions...

[@dantedalpozzo9578]

very good tutorial I need help but when I play '' enter "to lock the goal I see a red square I hope you understand

[@abbyabz6940]

Thanks for video enjoying this plane alot

[@skyedogg]

Very helpful explanation thanks

[@js312raf]

Isn't the up and down bar on the right side of the BVR in kilometres and not degrees?

[@ghblade]

hello to all the mig 29 drivers....i thank you for that tutorial, maybe you can help me out of a calamity....i am a german and according to that i use a german keyboard. too late i realised that all the keyboard orders in th menue were relatet to a gb or us keyboard i never ever got a lock on to a hostile target not with enter key or any key else that is dicribed in the menue..... maybe anyon hs a tip for me wether to restore the original keyboard orders ( with the ikon in the enue it doe´nt work) or how or what key i have to hit to get a lock on......best regard gearstroke

[@TheEpicPancake]

I know this video is old, but how is the radar pitch up/down supposed to be used? I haven't noticed many situations where a pitch up or down is needed with it.

[@OverkillSimulations]

So... in order to understand that you have to understand how the radar sees. It sees in < shape. So as objects get closer and closer, they will eventually exit the radar field of view. Another way to think of it is a flashlight. You're in a completely pitch black room. You point your flashlight on the wall in front of you. It creates a lit circle on the wall right? At the top of that circle there is a fly on the wall. The fly then leaves the wall and flies directly toward you but not in the center of the light. So eventually the fly will leave the visibility of the flash light. You would need to lift the flashlight up in order to continue to track the fly. I hope that makes sense.

[@TheEpicPancake]

@@OverkillSimulations ah, gotcha. I also took a look at the manual and got a good idea for what the number means. I came from the f-15c which has a pretty self explanatory range, but the mig only has (what I assume to be) a center point, and since my brain was still on feet rather than kilometers... Anyways, another question I have is how much impact the expected target range has on scanning.

[@OverkillSimulations]

@@TheEpicPancake ALL the radars see the same way. Really important to remember that :)

[@thusharikabotheju5655]

get well soon and hopefully your mum will be good : )

[@MLGvlad]

Hey man, i follow all your steps but my radar cant seem to pick up the aircrafts on the HUD. no lines no nothing, i only get text like " gazelle 20 nm"

[@linkpeters1640]

Good tutorial. Now I subscribe.

[@Scoobydcs]

is it autopilot reset to disengage the autopilot?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Yes:)

[@ptrisonic]

V. Good series. Not having either I still would like to know the Advantages/Disadvantages of the SU-27/33 over the MiG - 29 in terms of performance (I know the 33 is a Carrier airplane). The 29 seems to be more finicky to fly to me........the 27 has better range and weapons load out. Just interested. Thanks. Best, Pete.

[@Yiroooo]

I'm an old player of FC 2. Is the mig 29 dlc for DCS the same mig 29 as in FC 2 or is cockpit clickable and/or flight model different?

[@OverkillSimulations]

I never personally played FC2 - However, I believe the principal is the same. They are simple cockpits. Non-clickable

[@Yiroooo]

@@OverkillSimulations Thanks. I don't get how people with oculus and hotas play with clickable

[@skyviper4783]

oh boy ive shot down a lot of friendly's

[@marcinmalcherek7404]

I've came here to find out how radar works. After 15 mins of video I haven't heard a word about the radar. I think the title of this video is wrong.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I apologize. I first was correcting and adding detail to previous tutorials. Radar modes are there

[@squid11160]

@Kevin Pope ask for your money back. Gobshite

[@Whykikamoocow]

15 minutes before we get into the radar tutorial? Maybe next time do a separate vid on “fixing my mistakes “

[@safeamer1313]

Go make a tutorial video and be useful first. Then talk you dick head.
