Hello

I have found 3 problems

 

1. There is an error in the Avionics.ini for the Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), thus RWR is not working in the game.

Original is :

[RWR]

Type=3_RING

AirSearchTexture=Cabina/RWR1.tga <-- doesn't exist

AirTrackTexture=Cabina/RWR2.tga <-- doesn't exist

AirLockTexture=Cabina/RWR3.tga <-- doesn't exist

GroundSearchTexture=Cabina/RWR1.tga <-- doesn't exist

GroundTrackTexture=Cabina/RWR2.tga <-- doesn't exist

GroundLockTexture=Cabina/RWR3.tga <-- doesn't exist

SearchPosition=0.74

TrackPosition=0.74

LockPosition=0.74

SearchSize=0.97

TrackSize=0.97

LockSize=0.97

SearchFlash=TRUE

SearchFlashRate=0.4

TrackFlash=TRUE

TrackFlashRate=0.2

LockFlash=TRUE

LockFlashRate=0.1

TrackSound=MiGTrack.wav <-- doesn't exist

LockSound=MiGLock.wav <-- doesn't exist

 

Here is the fix :

[RWR]

Type=3_RING

AirSearchTexture=cockpit\rwrGreen.tga

AirTrackTexture=cockpit\rwrYellow.tga

AirLockTexture=cockpit\rwrRed.tga

GroundSearchTexture=cockpit\rwrGreen.tga

GroundTrackTexture=cockpit\rwrYellow.tga

GroundLockTexture=cockpit\rwrRed.tga

SearchPosition=0.74

TrackPosition=0.74

LockPosition=0.74

SearchSize=0.97

TrackSize=0.97

LockSize=0.97

SearchFlash=TRUE

SearchFlashRate=0.4

TrackFlash=TRUE

TrackFlashRate=0.2

LockFlash=TRUE

LockFlashRate=0.1

TrackSound=RWRTrackSound.wav

LockSound=RWRLockSound.wav

 

2. The altitude Table for the engine is too sharp. The Tumansky R-15 was meant to be a high altitude engine. With the current table, we struggle to get over mach1.5 at high altitude. To get something more realistic, i've just changed "AltitudeTableDeltaX" to 2000. 

 

3. the max speed is limited at mach 2.84 with the MachLimit, although the mig25 was capable of mach3+. The mach 2.83 was a paper limit (allowed for 5mins only) to avoid any damage to the plane but the plane was capable of getting faster. If I recall correctly, at least 2 flight were recorded at mach 3+ so this value need to be changed as well as the "CD0MachTable" because that one stop at mach2.7 instead of a higher value

Ho, i forgot to add that the PTB-5500 line is not correct in the mig 25 data.ini

The following line need to be removed because the drop tank was actually jettisonable (iraqi air force did drop them for bombing Iran at supersonic speed with their Mig25RB)

NoJettisionTank=TRUE <-has to be deletted

 

As for the fuel quantity, should it be written in litters or kg in the ini file ?

Fuel quantity is in kg. Have you checked out Paulos' MiG-25 packages? The FM was revised quite a bit. I did quite a bit of work trying to get the MiG-25 to cruise at around Mach 2.5 in minimum AB with the option to go Mach 3.2 at full AB. There is a risk of engine fire if you stay at Mach 3.2 for too long. Even if you want to use eburgers package the engine table in Paulos' might be worth a look.

[iiiblackbirdiii]

I will check that, thank you baffmeister.
