Matt Wagner teaches us about DCS: MiG-29’s Sensor Cooperative Mode

,
1–2 minutes

A new tutorial video from Matt Wagner details some of the updates to DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum’s sensor suite with the ability to use the type’s cooperative mode to coordinate sensors onto target. It’s a feature that I hadn’t learned much about until this video so you may also find it interesting.

Sensors cooperating

In this 6 minute video, Matt Wagner from Eagle Dynamics, takes us through the various combinations of settings for DCS: MiG-29’s sensor cooperative mode. When enabled, the jet’s IRST and radar work collaboratively to find and maintain a lock on a targeted aircraft. If, for example, the radar loses the lock but the IRST still has it, the avionics will switch over to IRST as primary until the radar reacquires it. That’s just one combination as you can also have the IRST act as primary with radar in the backup. There’s also the helmet sighting and close combat configurations all of which have various nuances to each combination.

If you fly the MiG-29 regularly, check this one out.

    Would you like to see a MiG-29M some time in the 2030s as the next full fidelity Red For aircraft after the full fidelity Su-25?

      Good Luck finding any information on it. The M has been rebranded as the MiG-35 and has no export partners and is not operated en masse by the RuAF.

      You might be able to find info on the carrier capable MiG-29K which has updated avionics (2000ish-2010ish level), more fuel and a differnt airframe, and was exported to India and was used in small numbers by the Russian Navy. India is getting rid of them as obsolete right now and Russia isnt likley to ever use thiers again and have been sitting in long term storage.

      The most likley module would either be the MiG-23, SU-17, or early SU-27A or SU-27P or SU-33 which is just a carrier capable super early 27.

      If you get the MiG-23 you basically have the entire Cold War combat line in full fidelity of Red European Fighters in game minus the SU-17/22, MiG-19 and MiG-27. The rest of the aircraft were used by the PVO stranny and never left Soviet Union.
