The information in this guide is subject to change if future updates modify/add anything.

AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) : An airborne radar
CAP (Combat Air Patrol) : Protect friendly assets in and around the station area
SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) : Engage SAM radar and launch vehicles.
CAS (Close Air Support) : Destroy as many vehicles as possible
Sweep : Aggressive counter air into enemy territory
Intercept : Air to Air interception of an assigned aircraft
Escort : Protect a target
OCA (Offensive Counter Air) Engage dangerous enemy assets such like SAM launch vehicles and airbases
Strike : Standard Air to Ground mission against enemy war production
Deep Strike : Strike deep into enemy territory
FAC (Forward Air Control) : Assign targets
Recon (Reconnaissance) : Gather intelligence of enemy area



A lamp is lit it means that a particular tank is empty.

The meanings of the lamps:
I - outer two external tanks;
II - inner two external tanks;
КР - wing tanks;
3/4 - third and fourth tanks;
Ц - central fuselage tank;
0.5 - emeregency fuel quantity - equal or less 500 kilogramms.

I've noticed only 4 warning lamps work in the Su-25T



1) Смотри таьло -General warning lamp, indicates either stall speed, pull up, low air-speed, and along with most any other warning lamp.
2) Пожар - Engine failure/fire (Currently it can be any engine)



*Engine 1 controls hydraulics 1
*Engine 2 controls hydraulics 2

3) гидро1 - hydraulics failure 1 (Hydro 1 controls the nosewheel steering unit, the initial chambers of the aileron boosters, the airbrakes, the slats, the flaps and the elevators (*Rudders are not controlled by hydraulic system*)
4) гидро2 - hydraulics failure 2 (Hydro 2 controls the undercarriage extension and retraction, mainwheel braking, the yaw damper, and the second chambers of the aileron boosters)

*Looking at the engine temperatures also can show indication of a fire if the temperature is in the red zone, when engine is on fire you should turn it off or it will cause fuel tanks to explode.

(Same stuff explained above, with addition to brakes and tips)

1) Nosewheel braking
2) Mainwheel brake
3) Hydro 1 controls the nosewheel steering unit, the initial chambers of the aileron boosters, the airbrakes, the slats, the flaps and the elevators (*Rudders are not controlled by hydraulic system*)
4) Hydro 2 controls the undercarriage extension and retraction, mainwheel braking, the yaw damper, and the second chambers of the aileron boosters

*If a hydraulic leak occurs and is of risk falling below 50%, it is best to lower the gears, otherwise they will not lower fully
*Airbreaks also should be closed quickly if a leak occurs or they will stay open once fluid leaks completely
*Flaps are not as important as landing than gear, and they also relly on the hydraulic fluid. Gears are more of a priority than flaps
*Functions of hydraulics do not function properly below 50%


П = airborne radar

3 = long
range radar

X = medium
range radar

H =short
range radar

F = early warning radar

C = AWACS

This is useful if you are not looking at a map or need more precise way of figuring out an airfield besides looking for the closest one.

These IDs are used with the navigation system built into the HUD of the Su-25T, when in navigation mode (pressing 1 for Route mode(MPW or ENR),Airfield beacon mode(B3B or RTN), and Landing mode(ПОС or LNDC) , pressing Cntrl+` will cycle through the waypoints/ID's of Airfields in "Airfield beacon mode" and also the landing glidescopes of airfields in "Landing mode".



When equiped with Fantasmagoria pod , going into ground attack mode (7) then activate the pod with (I) and Radar targets will appear on your hud. Some have designations to identify them with.

List of Radar designations


*These are estimates*
Enemy radar threats overview (range/height):
2km/1.5km M163 Vulcan
2.5km/2km ZSU-23-4 Shilka
3km/2.5km Gepard
6km/3km Roland
7km/6.5km OSA/Gecko
8km/5km Tunguska/Grison
12km/8km TOR/Gauntlet
16km/10km MIM-23-Hawk
16km/11km Kub/Gainful
25km/10km Newa/Goa
32km, 25km S-11 BOK/Gadfly
45km/30km Volkhlov/Grumble
90km/35km Patriot

--------------------------------
*These are also estimates*
Enemy IR threats overview (range/height):
3km/2.5km M6 Linebacker
3km/2.5km Stinger (Manpad)
3km/2.5km M1097 Avenger PMS
4.2km/3.5km Strela-1/Gaskin
4.5km/3km 9k38 IGLA/Grouse (Manpad)
5km/3.5km Strela-10/Gopher
8.5km/3km M48 Chaparral

Set launch mode to 2 rocket launch (hit Cntrl+V so that the missile launch circle is in the center of your hud, not the side.)
Press trigger for one missile to launch, hold for two to launch
Turn the laser off after each target is destroyed then slew shkval and lock onto new targert , the laser turns on when you fire Vikhr (Vikhr turns off laser after set time by itself, but this takes to long).

(Right Cntrl + H) changes the color of your hud to : Red,Green,Orange,Yellow
Brightness of HUD's color changed with (Right Cntrl + H) also.
Below are two example :




The centre of gravity can change!

The modeling of lateral and longitudinal center of mass is taken into effect. This can
change depending on fuel load and weapon loads.

The asymmetrical loading of weapon and fuel pylons, which influence the characteristics of
lateral control (depending on flight speed, regular overload, etc), is also modeled.
