Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

the multifunction indicator is the HUD

and IRST information can be displayed in the following HUD modes:
radar, optics, vertical, and noise

and this is where the mode selector is

i see. then, i’m sorry for misinterpreting the translations
guessing off of that, then gaijin either implemented the flir mfd wrong, or during chinese upgrades of their flankers some changes were made that could’ve made such possible, but that’s all just high in the air hypothesising and grasping at straws…

All chinese Irst’s are C&P ed from the mig29A or base su27 iirc, as there literally is no information on them

for the Su-30MKK, J-11 and J-11A it from the C&P from the Su-27S
for the J-11B, J-15T and J-10C its C&P from the Mig-29

idk what gaijin was doing with the IRSTs bc the Su-30SM IRST is also a C&P from the Mig-29, which makes it worse than the IRST of the Su-27S or Su-30MK2

though the flir mfd screen is only with the chinese upgraded models afaik (i don’t have any other flankers than china’s ;-; )

whacky rushing?

my theory is that the Su-30SM, J-11B and J-15T IRST got copy pasted from the Su-27 before alot of its changes were done, thats why it is identical to the Mig-29

Yeah only on the chinese ones, most likley a remnant of them rushing them

its not only on the chinese ones
Su-30SM and 30SM2 have the same IRST as the J-11B and J-15T

How would the J-15T fit in there tho as its one of the newest planes

c&p from the J-11B

We are talking about the mfd

most mfd screens except the adi + misc info screen which is suspiciously absent do match that of the j11b, maybe a diff with the rwr interface, but that’s the most diff in the 3 mfd in cockpit

the rwr mfd is C&P from the Su-27SM in the J-15T

gee

or well atleast i doubt that china would use cerillic on their MFDs

the identification part definitely feels like a copy-paste from other flanker digital rwr’s
three different writing systems in a single cockpit will get messy somehow

Atleast its only the mfd now and not the cockpit

they already made a RWR mfd page for the J-11B

though that one looks eerily similar to the rwr screen in kfir c10
