Hello!
i got the Libyan MiG-23MS from the website column5 ..
i already have the Su-35BM
I like the MiG-23 design .. so my project targets :
1- Research the BEST and fastest Engine (working on Single Engine jet like the MiG-23) and use it on the Jet ... for now i put the F-16D F110-GE-100 Engine and it goes like 520 Knots in 100% AB on straight line .. is there any better choice ??
2- Better (Not Jamming) Fixed Gun .. i use the 30MM_NR30 for now .. it is used on the MiG-19 and was a great Gun in dogfights in 60s .. i put Max Ammo 9999 if it is more the Gun dont work ?
3-Better Loadout origin ,, now the jet can use those orgins :
USAF,ISRAEL,NATO,SOVIET,FRANCE,USN,UK,WP,IRAQ,EGYPT
and the use of better types of missiles :
IRM,2IR,RP,BOMB,2BR,AHM,TER,ARM,EOGR,LGB,EOGB
The jet can put the new types of missiles and ammo on it ,,
4- Better Avionics ... which can operate the High-tech Guided Missiles and bombs .. like the Maverick and the Hellfire and the AIM-120 and R77 (see no.3 note)
well what i done was that i first Changed the "Detect System" lines in The data ini to the SU-35BM radar which is my avionics "Target" :
[DetectSystem]
RadarName=Irbis N-035
RadarType=AIR_INTERCEPT
RangeUnit=KM
DopplerLookdown=True
RadarAzimuthLimit=90
RadarElevationLimit=60
RadarSearchTime=1.0
RadarSearchRange=250
RadarSearchStrength=250
RadarTrackTime=1.0
RadarTrackRange=200
RadarTrackStrength=250
VisualBlindArc=5,6,7
VisualRestrictedArc=4L,8L
MaxVisibleDistance=8400.0
HasRWR=TRUE
RCSModifier=0.6
then i changed the whole Cockpit and Avionics ini files with the ones in the SU-35BM .. and then used the "cockpit" file in the su-35bm to the MiG-23 file .. i changed the Time of the Mission Data to 1990 to 2020
BUT even with the missiles and everything is onboard and the cockpit inside looks just like the SU-35BM cockpit ... i can not use the AIM-120 .. because i can not change my radar to "AIR COMBAT" mode niether TWS ..
there is a problem !
5- Better loadout numbers .... thought that the russians would think about it but lets do some Brainstorming .. is there anywhere we can put new missile\bomb pylons ?
6- Counter measures .. in Modern combat a jet with no counter measures can be easily targeted in some situations .. Flare and chaff and ECM onboard would be useful .. if we cant put ECM onboard we will think about ECM external pods then ..
7-any other ideas would be useful ..

and the SU-35 designers who i cant find there names ..
anyways .. do you think that choosing the SU-35BM is a good idea ?? why not going with the american model in F-15SE or F-16 BLK60 ?
cheers !
