About This File
This is both the MiG-27(MiG-23BM) and MiG-27D dedicated ground attack fighter/bomber variant cockpits for SFP1 series Lindr2's MiG-27 FloggerD and MiG-27D available below:

It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but optimized for the air-to-ground role. Additional cockpit armor was installed, along with a totally new nav-attack system. The MiG-27 was first operational in 1973. However unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27 did not see widespread use outside the Soviet Union, as most other countries opted for the MiG-23BN ground attack fighter. It would have been one of the leading WARSAW Pact elements of a NATO central front attack.

It has an extremely different gunsight (and no radar) and different panel compared to the Mig-23 fighter series.
This was the first MiG-27 version.
I had quite a hard time getting the plain MiG-27 working, so now both should work.
They both have different loadout capabilties and operational time frames from one another. They also have different equipment from one another as they were basically the same except that the MiG-27D was more optimized for nuclear strike and had more panels for that. The Mig-27D was also apparently kept on nuclear alert much like the US used the F-111.
Directions:
1) Download Lindr2's MiG-27 series at
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
2) Back it up just in case.
3) Just download the contents of both filefolders MiG-27 and MiG-27D intact into your aircraft folder.
4) When asked to overwrite say yes.
-Finished!
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's alternate advanced MiG-27 flight model/ECM (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-27_data.ini. Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it up as always.
The original flight model is also included in the Nele folder titled "original" in case you want to go back to the original flight model and data file.
I personally strongly recommend it for getting an accurate feel of the Mig-27 according to the published reports I have researched...but it is not for beginners.
Thanks to Lindr2 for all his sustained hard, dedicated and excellent work!
Thanks to Armourdave and Sal for the original cockpit. Thanks to Lindr2 and Epizikl for help with the cockpit research and photos.
Enjoy!
