Missing MFD:s functions in modern jets

Hello all. I noticed at new f/a 18 premium, SU 30SM and rafaella can toggle its multi function displays in its cockpit view. And i also noticed at ja37di does not has its multi function displays modelled. is this because it has not been modelled yet or is it just giving new game features only to big nations in war thunder like USA, German and Russia. I am sure at i am not only one who wants working mfd:s to all aircraft who features it. Sorry for my bad English.

Sometimes it’s because it was not modelled and sometimes it’s because there’s no sufficient proof. You can see some bug reports that haave been shared to the community here:

And probably ask there as some people might know the exact problem. If you had proof that the MFDs in the IRL jets have something then it probably is better to bug report it (and ask in the topic I’ve just shared for the bug report to be added, this way, people will be able to check sources/support the bug report.
Also, it’s ‘Rafale’, not ‘rafaella’. Don’t mind the Simulator battles tag, the cockpits are the same in all modes, however, one usually uses third person on RB or AB, in SB you are in first person so you can see the cockpit all the time.

Still working on a large bug report about the Hornet’s missing DDI pages (MFD pages)…

So much missing (EW, HUD, ADI, ENG, Fuel,…)…

And mind me, when you say it doesn’t have the MFDs modelled do you mean that the screens do not show anything or just that you can’t switch between different screens?

I 'd assume that, considering my own experience with e.g. the Viggen he mentioned. In general, a lot of displays are missing: How can an aircraft with MFD’s not actually have multiple display options?

I find devs should pay more attention to such details, as they can be very gameplay relevant…

it has only map option and it cannot toggle on RVR mode or datalink mode. somebody has also seen this this problem, this is link to bug report from four months ago.

JAS39C Missing IFF, Link16, Map MFD issues // Gaijin.net // Issues

I agree.

To be honest I don’t know if it’s because the MFDs only have one display (would be useless because it would be Single-Function Display) or it’s just that the devs are too lazy with these ones.

Yeah. What I also hate is that there is no way to e.g. zoom the map, how to display it (orientation, position), what to display,…

O how I dream about fully functional displays…

It is the devs. because they put so much effort to premium F/A 18 and because small warthunder nations older premiums dont make them any money, why they would even want to lift their fingers to keyboard?

same bro!

Same, functional TGP screens are my biggest want, also to have them modelled correctly instead of just a TV seeker display where you can’t see a thing until they are 100m away. But working map screens would be great, especially if we got a cursor we could use and mark points for CCRP.

To be bluntly honest, every time you have a radar or RWR display as overlay, or a TGP / Seeker view or any other function that is not visible/implemented in the cockpit view, that’s the case I fear.

(Exception are types with two man crews, where those displays / instruments may be located in the cockpit of the second crew member. I assume that’s the case of e.g. Buccaneer, Tornado, F-111, A-6,…)

I agree whit you too! i started playing warthunder just because i like how planes cockpits look. it would be so cool to have historical / real MFD:s and radars in cockpits.
