Features:
Views
- Normal and wideview cockpit switching is done via Shift-2 or panning up/down.
- Reference and extra functions view via Shift-1 or panning down
Display
- The display is made clickable in a 'touchscreen' mode, meaning you can operate the display by pressing the area that is showing. Clicking on the center of the display enables the A/A attack grid.
Kneeboards
- Kneeboards, the right knee has a rampstart checklist. Browsing is done by left and right clicking, the only downside of these browsable charts is that they actually are the comms volume switches, so browsing them may influence your comms volume. Setting it to the AA/AG treath checklist puts it on maximum volume. 
- The left kneeboard shows the kneemap, steerpoint and briefing data
Reference and extra functions view
-Clicking down or keycombination Shift-1 shows the view that has extra functions, also with a clickable display. This view had many functions, DED, RWR, RWR selection, TACAN, TACAN selection, Channel digit selection, AUX COMMS switches, digits buttons. Clicking further down pans to the wideview cockpit. Panning up from this view shows normal cockpit. Panning sideways shows 4 and 8 o'clock air.
Nightlighting
- Flying at night, there are 3 options, one is enabling the instruments lights on the far right panel in the daytime pit
- The second option is enabling the nightpit for backlit panels. Enabling the nightpit is done by launching the "Superpits" icon on your desktop and selecting it. 
- The third option is using the Cobra1.exe which has automatic nightpit switching depending on time of day/night
-Rampstart
- A full rampstart is possible, checklists on your desktop in PDF format and on the right knee in the sim.
-Sound
A full range of sounds is available, 'Nagging Nadia' (Russian Betty equivalent), warning and lock and hydraulic and engine type of sounds. Easy to uninstall via the Superpits.exe on the desktop. Note that with the MiG-29 these sounds get installed as default, so for flying western aircraft disable it. The Nagging Nadia soundfiles are included with courtesy of the Eagle Dymanics/TFC (Lock On)  A special thanks for that!
-Adjusted and converted avionics for the MiG-29:
The warning station receiver shows when set to ON, when active and when a missile lock occurs.
The use of afterburner is displayed in the caution lights panel at the right.
The use of flaps and speedbrake is shown in the appropriate indicator.
The Fuel display shows emptied tanks (light indicators) and approximate amount of fuel in KG
Airspeed instruments, RPM, combined AoA and G force indicator, Gas temperature correctly calibrated. 
Known issues that require exe edits to fix:
- Flaps indicator only show flaps light as partial use when fully extended
- Fuel indicator will show no fuel on left side when carrying more than 5000 kg fuel but does show it on right side.
- Airspeed, AoA and gas temperature instruments show wrong needle direction when doing a full rampstart but are ok when engines and avionics are started up.
