Thank you for the replies, but web pages don't have nearly enough beyond standard dimensions/specifications.
Biased or not, Boroda is exactly the type of person who could help me get scanned images of real Soviet manuals or go in person to get cockpit photos.
I am looking for data like this example for the MiG-23:
Wing forward:
Wing mid & back:
I don't care if it is in Russian. I can translate it well enough to get what I need from charts/graphs. I need actual aerodynamic coefficients and high quality cockpit photos so the text around the instruments can be modeled and translated.
For those who aren't aware, SFP1/WoV uses detailed aerodynamic co-efficient charts for the flight models. The stock FMs are a dumbed down quite a bit to make it a fun game for casual pilots, but with large volumes of accurate data, the open source ini files can be tweaked to get very accurate performance. I am part of the FM geek team and even wrote the utility that permits generating standard performance charts from an FM ini file for verification/tweaking.
These are the kind of results I got after a few weeks of tweaking the F-4. The blue lines in the upper chart and red lines in the lower chart represent my latest revision. The charts are from the USN F-4B pilot manual. I had some issues at supersonic speeds, but will get it better the next time I work on it. Subsonic performance is almost dead on.
In the meantime, the 3d modelers and painters have cranked out a ton of quality work. But many of the early models didn't have cockpits of their own. The modders are retrofitting 3-d cockpits with high poly counts and photo real textures. Many of the Soviet aircraft don't have enough high quality pics from the variety of angles and zooms to even begin modeling an accurate pit. Common aircraft, like the MiG-21, have lots of pics. The 3-d pits are awesome! Aircraft not commonly exported and long out of service are much harder to document. At the moment, cockpit shots of the Su-15F (NATO Flagon-A) would be real useful.
