Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

the thales HMD?

they didnt specify

the positions of those sensors dont matter too much, after reading through the patent

it could even make do with only one sensor

hard to say but could be
as it the alignment of the IR LEDs around camera dosnet matter

lmao, who knows what they’ve done. It’s the dev server, anything can happen there as usual

Lore accurate R-3R

Finally, AIM-9X is not needed anymore to counter R-73!

I think it’s not pilot who’s small, bu MiG-29 cockpit made too big. Or pilot chair is placed too low, irl it’s almost in-line with avionics block behind it, but in-game it’s like half a head lower

that is bc they adjust the pilot so that he sits right behind the HUD

and that is an issue for quite alot of jets

Are they taking into consideration that a lot of modern jets use angled seats? Because MiG pilot sits almost perfectly straight from what i can see

quite alot of times the actually rendered pilot is correct but not the pilot position in the xray/ damage model bc gaijin wants the camera to be directly infront of the HUD
and i think the camara position depends on where the pilots head is in the xray

here are some examples:

(this is probably the pest example bc you can see the pilot model that os way smaller than the copilot that is actually human sized)

after taking the screenshots i noticed that that cant be the explenation for the Mig-29K bc the pilot isnt even able to look through the HUD
