What is the switch for?

This looks like radar screen:

this modification is just putting a MiG-23BN canopy over another MiG-23 canopy, it results in top speed being restricted to mach 1.75. This was only done in middle eastern airforces.

But it was technically possible also give it on MLD, wasnt it?

it could fit in any MiG-23 canopy it just wasnt done because IRL the crossbar was generally not seen to be as big of a problem since you can move your head side to side to look around it.

That is true, but in the case of WT it is not possible unless the player uses VR.

I recommend this keybind then, allows you to shift your head from left to right, I used to use it before I got Track IR

Oh, I thought it was just me. I’ve made 2 suggestions here and both have seemingly disappeared. (F-15C which was missing from their previously suggested vehicles thread and the L3Harris Vampire)

Hmmmm. Thanks you very much.

Yeah… I think they’re just deleting stuff to be quite honest.

The weird part with the F-15C one is that I contacted a suggestion mod prior to clarify that they didn’t have it previously suggested. Now the post isn’t even in the pending tab so i’ve got no way to retrieve and repost it.

I play SIM in VR got my VR 1.5 month ago, if you want me to send screenshots or videos of something from angles only possible in VR i can send it, didn’t read all the posts so i dont know what it is about but i’d be glad to help

1.Manual/Automatic…Front hemisphere/Rear hemisphere…For Radar- for which radar modes-I don’t know for sure …
2.We also added SOS control (The roll is set to 45 degrees/The roll is set to 70 degrees)…

Ah nevermind xD

It was about visibility from MiG-23MLD and central pylon of canopy.

I didnt want to unlock the SMT because i thought it would suck from what ive heard here. But tbh i have no idea what you guys are talking about. I dont feel a big difference compared to the mig 29, feels like some just plays it stock and forgot about how bad stock vehicles are. Because spaded its really good. The r73s are worse overall compared to the aim9m but theyre still very good, just at different less important stuff.

Not quite so-this option was installed starting with the MiG-23M from the middle of 1974 (there is cheaper glass of another brand, cheaper construction for manufacturing and operation-replacement of one half of the glass)…it was also believed that it could be broken faster during an emergency landing and get the Pilot) …
But with prolonged operation in an open parking lot, they proved to be bad…
