CrazyGman Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 We keep hearing mixed things on the MiG-29 depending on the source. In October we heard it was just in planning. In December and Jan we heard that it was getting developed a bit sooner (since Black shark 3 wasn't happening) but nothing since then, and recently Nineline said that it's still just in planning....

I don't like those thing from ED, they sometimes counter-answer themselves without need to do so. Just need to be transparent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it turned out that Blackshark 3 is happening after all. So its not a surprise they'd delay properly starting on the 29 a bit until after its finished. At least we got a bit of love with the 2,7 patch such as waypoints and better dampers. Also the fact BS3 is happening bodes well, since if its ok by the Russian military/government to publish it they might be inclined to ok more and better MiG-29 versions. Maybe even the original MiG-29K itself? I wish at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when it goes to fixed winged aircraft I love the fly the Hog, Harrier and the Mig-29. I hope for a Mig-29 full fidelity module too, however I have learned a long time ago, not to have too big expectations. What I mean by that is, I prefer to be pleasantly surprised by getting something that exceeded my expectations. All in all, there seems to be quite a bit going on, so a nice surprise might be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eber Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Indeed, the BS3 was a big surprise, as well as the open beta patch yesterday. Maybe ED changed their behaviour from "announcement" to "surpise, surprise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysurfer Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Mig-29A will be great, even with all its shortcoming and limitations in terms of combat. Hopefully we can get some version of a lazur datalink, which would make it way more capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kseremak Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Is this sure? Is ED going to make full fidelity MiG-29 9.12 like Tomcat, Mirage or Hornet? Or this is some community speculation? When 9.12 came into service it was the last time fighter pilots were Chads using their skill to chase each other and maneuver in close combat to kill. Instead of being an extension of close to omnipotent electronics and long range guided missiles. Day one buy for me if that's true! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in plans, the information was that works on this jet will start once BS3 is released.

It is probably the very best MiG-29 available for the pc. It needs more cockpit interaction and some systems modeling. But it is my favorite aircraft. I own practically all the modules btw. I come from many hours flying the F14 and Hornet in DCS. I prefer the MiG-29. And FC3 Su25 and MiG29 can hold their own against many third party modules in terms of fidelity of flight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you mostly talking about navigation systems? Flight model wise I don't expect much to change (maybe even more damper improvements) and sensor behavior wise only RWR is expected to be made from the ground up, everything else in my opinion will be much better and even simpler to use with FF than it is now. Not to mention all the fun stuff that FF brings like emergency procedures, people will start to appreciate how redundant MiG-29 really is, except radar of course that thing was quite unreliable in first versions. Sensors are as said by @Harlikwin very simplified on every aircraft and I don't expect much change in radar behavior. Even SPO-15 which IRL is a hit or miss depending on revision will probably be simulated how it's supposed to work, like it's done on every aircraft so far (basically all RWRs are too good in the sim currently) and with complete revamp and added features of real SPO-15 it will be much more powerful in terms of situational awareness. But I agree that FF MiG-29A will be an eye opening but in a good way, people that liked it as FC3 are about to like it even more 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fairly modest expectations of it, I know how the radar works, knobs and all, and have realistic expectations of the IRST. Same for knowing how "hi-tech" the Nav systems are. That being said, I'm looking forward to it, and really, in the context of its day say compared to an early bloc F16A the mig was pretty comparable. Obviously you can't compare it to a 2005 Era Block 50 viper, thats just silly. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

pepin1234 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) In case they end in a Mig-29A. It is still a dangerous machine. If you set two ER and doing override to that missile even when the radar computing is not for that longer range missile, you still have the real option to calculate manually the launch. Hey... you gonna kill the best fighters with the help of EWR or AWACS for real. (Without counting the on steroids Aim-54...) Now... without ECM is a really downside. But as long ED keep the current kindergarten ECM level, then the 29 9.12 is still on fight. IRL Belorussian and Russians made a really interesting ECM pod rail for 9.12 but I don’t expect this add in DCS.

I work at the high command ************ in direct relation with the whole NATO coalition and various factions and allies and grouping .. In my job I am specialized in what is classified or not! And we have to distinguish military secrecy from commercial secrecy ... It should be understood that there is a big difference between modeling an airplane for a simulation game with its performances known by all OR building it in "real" with the specific classified materials, the on-board calculation systems and the technology inside etc. .. I rather think that there is a lack of commercial attractiveness and of the will to make us certain planes in DCS WORLD.. 1 Real War, Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCs1uki5QsyuHUdvtmWJTOg?view_as=subscriber Real War, Voice Chat: https://discord.gg/UGa3KMe [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
