My favourite F16 skin work ever. Wonderful weathering effects. Respect @Ala12Rv-watermanpc !

ED is working on validation of current FC3 MiG-29 characteristics with new FF version, because FC3 version has changed: pitch damping has increased at low speeds and also unnatural coupling of roll rate with yaw rate has been adjusted (no strange yaw-roll coupled manouvers possible) With no official ED news in changelog, I feel it very clear. Big hope for FF version in that matter. Best Regards, Mat

Some of last updates of DCS make changes into MiG-29 physics: (1) pitch damping with FC3 MiG-29 has changed, pitch amping has been increased at low speeds, you can feel it every landing, (2) unnatural coupling of roll rate with yaw rate has been adjusted. ED has not informed us of it, but I suppose it is a flight model validation with new MiG-29 FF upcoming release. Best regards, Mat

I would like to add that build in DCS Sniper image defocus and quality (also while slew) are far worse than original Sniper image quality - @YoYo post here. It need inestigation for sure. No track needed, dev should re-estimate that image quality. Even simple test, range 10 nm, TV NARO mode 3.0x, just like in the video.

I think it was just an example picture. When you slew even in XR the blurry pic again make it difficult to find the new targets.

No worries. Two weeks...

Any official yes/no/future ?

Thank you, actually it is a great information. Will the control stick move automatically when working together with the SAU (damper)? Will the upper air intakes move automatically? – This question has already been asked on the forum, but I don’t recall the answer

So +2, I've heard exactly the same from former Polish Air Force MiG-29 pilot. He told about responsiveness and added that real MIG has higher damping during landing/flare, which might be very similar feeling to @Fighter29who uploaded above parameters during landing. Cheers !

This made me angry few months ago and also now. It is very bad customer treatment. I have pointed to ED that there are in-game customized cockpit options that doesn't work and they did nothing for few months. Very sad.

So you'd like to tell us now that: The MiG-29A FC3 and MiG-29A FF will share the same aerodynamics, meaning they will use the same flight model (basic aerodynamics) when the SAU (damper) is turned off. However, they will have different flight models when the SAU (damper) is enabled, resulting in a significantly different piloting experience between the two versions. Do I understand it correctly ?

I am happy with new map, but I would really appreciate higher standard of runway shapes/mesh. Currently all runways are 100% flat. Real ones aren't. Regards

I fly regularly with my buddies, several times a week. When we flew together after the last update, we all noticed that our MiG-29s were flying differently, and we had pretty similar impressions. Some time ago there was an update that changed gear and flap drag, and it wasn’t mentioned in the official changelog. Now the changes feel more noticeable, and I suspect that some adjustments were quietly made as part of unifying the flight model FF-FC3

From the biggest to smallest changes: 1. Roll rate as function of angle of attack. Monouverability has increased in roll channel. 2. Pitch rates or pitch moments or pitch damping or drag has changed, I can't clearly say what prrcisely because I can't compare one by one to the previous version, before update. 3. Some yaw damping or yaw-roll coupling has changed. Maybe even more.

It is a bit funny that when they admit FM not 100% accurate, they always add that core FM is most accurate. So what's the conclusions about other modules ? Real pilots have pointed the discrepancies in russian speaking part of forum, ED didn't take it into account for years. I do wait for FF with hope. Regards
