Help with Lebanon Mig29A
-
Hi all
I’m not sure if i am missing something so here goes. Loaded up Israel Theater, started campaign and chose a squadron of Mig29A’s in lebanon. Ramp started the mig according to Falcon BMS docs. I’ve set the tower frequency to UHF preset 15. Ingame after ramp starting and setting the UHF preset to 15 which shows the frequency as 354.00(The airbase). Problem is i cannot call tower to remove chocks or taxi, all radio power is on as far as i can tell and VHF works, awacs is contacting me and so on.
How do i contact tower being in a mig29 lebanon on ramp start…

Have you tried throttling up?
Havent tried the airfield before, but in an F-16 when I cant contact tower, that tends to work

Like just move the throttle a bit up? I mean the indent is switched and engine is fully started. Havnt tried just throttling up though, Hmm i will try after work then.

Well I mean, if you cant clear the chocks in afterburner, there is probably something wrong with the physics in the sim
-
I was not aware you can “overpower” the chocks XD

What happens if you select “Taxi” ?
-

Hello there.
Well something is wrong at your words for sure.
First of all non of the 2 campaings of Israel theater ver. 1.0.3 has airbases in Lebanon.
Also if you had created a mission by T.E. builder, all 4 airports of Lebanon have no UHF ATC frequency. Check the file “Israel Navaids list v1.0.3.pdf” into the folder: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Israel\Docs\Airport Data and IAP charts.
Now if you have had started in any Syria airport, also there is no UHF ATC frequency, only VHF ones. Again take a good look at the mentioned pdf file ;).
Prefer to set the ATC frequency manually according to the correct pdf document.

Nikos.Sorry its Syria yeah. So seeing as its only VHF ones, how do you remove the chocks?
-
set comms up
power on
press “t” and then “8”
or
just put your throttle up

Easy…
How do you remove the chocks via UHF frequency? Make exactly the same actions via VHF one.

Nikos.Thanks alot for the help, VHF worked as you said

In your briefing, open your data cartridge, and in the coms, set channel 15 with the SET TOWER button. Now, in cockpit with all systems up, load the DTE. That hopefully will do it.

I need some advice on the mig- ews programs don’t work at all, only manual chaff and flare work- am I doing something wrong? Also the mig doesn’t seem to have ecm, I’ve tried all versions, doesn’t seem to matter- please advise.

I’m not sure about the ECM, however, the only way to release any sort of countermeasure is to use ctrl + , to release chaff and ctrl + . to release flares. Of course, it’s very finicky when you’ve got a python 4 on your tail and trying to perform manoeuvres all at once so it’ll need rebinding if you want to use it effectively. I think the Mig-29 in BMS just isn’t fully compatible with the F-16 avionics so there isn’t an option for ews, partly due to the fact that there isn’t actually a button in the cockpit to change ews programs etc.
