The gag order has expired.
they are bugged if you sapwn in the air
try again, but take off from the ground
I did take off from the ground for that screenshot.
Don’t worry in a few days Ill be muted again for not playing the game.

well, then it broke completly
those grills are only for takeoff (and landing?), similar to the intake doors on the Mig-29
when in the air the flanker uses a similar system to the f-14

This is me taking off after restarting the game, and spawning on the ground.
Truly a Gaijin moment.

I can’t make out anything about it being dependent on velocity.
Maybe we should bug report it?
here is the full part of the manual concerning the intake
I’m not seeing anything specifically about the operation of the Intake Gates.
Reading this, it seems like it’s mostly talking about the Variable geometry intakes (considering “it begins when M=1.35 is reached”)
Is this all? It still doesn’t say anything about being Altitude or Velocity dependant.
Though, if it is altitude dependent, then the grates should definitely NOT be up at low speeds while airborne.
well that is what you get from a soviet pilot manual
that is simply something the pilot isnt supposed to concern himslef with that

i am 99% sure thatthis is just gaijin coding. MiG-29 also closes its intakes at low speed regardless of being in the air or landing. Most likely it’s just coded to deploy below certain speed and that’s it

Hopefully it doesn’t impact the engine performance in game at all.
On that video they got hit didnt they?maybe the damage created a problem

if that would have been the case the VWS would have been screaming, which would have been recorded alongside the pilots voices
video of a Su-30MK2 having an engine failure and after the engine fails you can hear RITA for the rest of the video
and after 2:05 you have pure Rita sound since the pilot ejected
at the very end of the video we also get a clear “over G”, “AoA” and “pull up” warning
