Sorry, but what? t’s two completely two different radars, one is pulse-coherent radar with MTI and other is pulse-dopler radar with Cassegrain antenna and digital signal processing that basicly same design as N001 (aka Su-27 radar). “MiG-23’s” radar was used in MiG-25PD (Sapfir-25).

You can’t chose whatever angle you wont on your own in MiG-23, these are fixed values, 45 deg for maneuvering was changed to 33 in MLD.
N019(MP) radar was in 9-17 SMT-1 prototypes only
Its upgraded but the same radar it is not a new development.
No, it’s completely new radar system

Yes you can, it’s just a slider. You can set it to whatever value you want.
Short showing it off
Looks like the wing sweep should be fully manual like flaps though. iirc auto wing sweep was a major advancement used on the F-14

These are the recommended values based on the conditions of flight safety restrictions for pilots!..The wing is fixed in any available position (with available ACS-SOUA connections) or manual mode …
Wing mode (takeoff 16 degrees)-this is an automatic mode …
the pilots of the 16 VA-on the MiG-23ML-experimented with 33 degrees…there are their memories…

Okay, thanks for clarification
the MLD is automated iirc
Wing sweep is not automated, but the leading edge flaps become automated and there are not stick limiters that require additional pressure for override similar to MiG-29 system. A “kicker” that notifies pilot without needing to look at the cockpit panel that he is near maximum permissible AoA or G load.
Generally for a dogfight, there is a notch in which he can focus on enemy, and feel to slip the wing position into and keep it at 33 degrees. The primary focus of these changes is keeping your eye on the enemy and knowing when you are at the aircrafts limits without having to look back down at the dash.

Since it’s relevant for fixing the MiG-29 flight model, notice the AoA indicator on the right hand side using localhost. The F-16 is capable of exceeding 90 degrees angle of attack in coupled pitch - yaw - roll and then recovering (with full control the entire time) in less than 1/4 of a turn.
Obviously I am not campaigning to have the MiG-29 do the same thing, but in real life the MiG-29 was superior in post-stall handling and recovery than the F-16, the MiG-29 being fully stable and the F-16 being fully unstable. In-game the opposite is true of both, where the MiG-29 requires precarious handling of it’s AoA to prevent departure and the F-16 can put the nose wherever it wants like it’s an Su-57.
What? No only up to 6 R-27R/ER or 4 R-27R/ER + 2 R-27T/ET. Plus 4 R-73 or 2 R-73 and ECM
Maybe I was thinking max number of R-77s? Looks like you’re correct. It’s still 10 better missiles than the F-15 could carry, to include the AMRAAM.
At a turn overload of 8G, in the range from 820-1100 km / h, according to the instrument, the aircraft should accelerate, and not lose speed.Height 2000m

Su-27SK(?) Su-27SM/SM3 can carry only up to 8 R-77 + 2 R-73 .Su-33 Su-30M… Su-34 Su-35 can carry up to 8 R-27/E. Or up to 10 R-77 + R-73.
( Su-35 can 12 R-77 with dual R-77 pylon between engine. )

The first versions, especially the export ones, that literally had the radar of the MiG-21 and were limited to 5Gs were bad. Already with the M version the MiG-23 will out turn the phantom.
But it’s really the MiG-23Ml that brought the MiG-23 series to life. While clearly inferior to the F-14 and F-15, it allowed the Soviets in 1976 to mass produce a fighter with a well working Look/Down shot down radar and inverse monopulse seeker missiles.
So while the F-15 and the F-14 were better fighters, most of the US aircraft in the late 70s were still F4Es without a Ld/Sd radar or ir limited F-16 and until the AiM7-M even the F-15 and the F-14 lacked a SARH missile actually useful at low altitude

Not so- …on the MiG-23 mod.71/M…RIS (Lever-pulse signaling of extreme angles of attack) …
On the MiG-23M late and MiG-23ML (SOUA)…On the MiG-23MLD (SOS-Signal restriction System)…On these variants, the Overpowering of the RUS (Handle Control of the Aircraft) is provided…
The third source might be useful in bug reporting the MiG-23MLD, as I believe it’s underperforming in AoA, sustained turn rate. Do you have more information in there? Let’s move this to DM’s to avoid taking the thread further off topic.
-edit- Further testing seems to indicate MiG-23MLD is limited from 26-27 degrees AoA in 33 degree sweep. During sudden pitchup at 0.4-0.6 mach it can achieve sometimes ~30 degrees. 33 degrees is not attainable.
No…Look-A private message!
