Vympel R-27 'ALAMO' - History, Design, Performance & Discussion

Guessing that’s a bug.

It’s just a view of the HUD, I can’t imagine it’s a bug.

I think its just supposed to be a HUD repeater mode for the MFD, like on the old MiG-29. But its still displaying the feed from the Kh-29T’s/KAB-500Kr’s.

There’s no camera for the MFD to display otherwise.

There is a separate thing for the Kh-29s

Also, currently (from some limited testing) the R-27R and R-27ER will trigger a launch warning on RWR even when not in SARH guidance stage, which is about 25 km for fighter-sized targets. Meaning, if launched from sufficiently far away, the RWR of the target should not warn about an incoming missile until it is close enough, assuming that the radio commands are not detectable by the RWR.

I know, but it shouldn’t show with the hud.

That’s because the radar signal changes between simple track and guidance methods.

Also

Should be a bug. SMT doesn’t have anything to provide image to MFD except TV guided munitions. It still uses old IRST.

Maybe they’re considering one of the external pods it could carry.

Think its more likely just the Kh-29T feed not turning off properly.

Probably, hopefully it does get one of its three pods though.

Hope so too

i think gaijin make this mod. but he must be a Black-White and without zoom

True, but the behavior is still incorrect

Ok, well that’s an interesting find. Is the device in front of the HUD a HUD recorder then? And the feed can be seen on the MFD?

Don’t think that part was modelled on the dev server yet though.

yes.

Ah, thanks.

and don’t modelled later

That’s a shame, think it looks pretty neat, though I’m not a sim player.

9.17-Description_The screens can display an electronic map of the area, as well as a tele - and thermal image of ground targets. With the help of digital processing, it is possible to improve its quality, increase individual objects (“electronic magnifier” mode) and combine images (“picture in picture”). Representatives of MAPO “MIG” are especially proud of the ability to automatically link TV images to an electronic and radar map of the area…
