The Gryphon

Hey check out this video it might ansvar it all

I can't really explain why I like this flightmodel so much, I guess it is very subjective how each simpilot experience a module and its flight behaviour. I never played FC3 MIG-29. So it might be that ED modeled the FC3 flight model very well and I happen to like that type of flying. I have been flying the MIG-29A Fulcrum for 8 hours now and it really reminds me of a F-14 Tomcat, but a bit more nimble and agile. The MIG-29A also feels like it has a early cold war fly-by wire system, it does not have auto-trim like modern jets, so you need to trim after each throttle imput but the trimmer works so well so it really not a burden. It also feels like a cold war Spitfire, because it can circkle in the air without loosing to much speed and even when it does loose speed its body with all that lift ->makes it turn the nose really well at low speeds. The MIG-29A is a pretty small airplane but it has 2 (!) powerfull engines, so even down to low speeds it gains it back very fast (with afterburner it can climb straight up). I guess all this combined makes a so much fun and why I really like it

I fully agree! I own almost all ED airplanes & to me the MIG-29A sets a new standard when it comes to flightmodel. This is my personal opinion but I have to say the MIG moves and behaves in the air like a jetfighter should. I felt the same way with the Kiowa when it comes to helicopters. It felt heavy but very reponsive at the same time, not twitchy, no oscilation, very good response to thottle inputs, balanced acceleration and so on. L-39 is another great example of a solid flight model. The MIG-29 belongs with those two aircraft for sure.

I just did a testflight on Germany Cold War map and the MIG-29A has the as good PC performence as on Syria (atleast on my computer), how they managed to pull that of is quite amazing since Cold War Germany can be a bit more demanding on the PC. A lot of black-magic woodo must have went into this module and that is amazing, very well done Eagle Dynamics !

My first impression is very very good aswell! Very detailed and beautifull cockpit and super good PC performence aswell. The flight model is so much FUN. Very repsonsive but not twitchy or nervous at all! I guess the MIG-29A is not fly-by wire, so how they managed to get this flight model so good is amazing. Because the airctaft feels like a cold war jet but you can control it with such high precision and it moves in the air like an aircraft should! The trimming of flight surfaces works good aswell! It is lika a russian F-16 but still with its own personality ! The engine sounds are really good aswell, and the bird was a joy to land! Not to challenging (not like the F-4 Phantom at all!) but not to easy either (like the JF-17!), it was perfect when it comes to difficulty! I have not tested the mirrors yet so I can't really say anytning about it. I am looking forward to more training missions being released, that is the only whing I found lacking this far.

Hi all, I have only tested the MIG-29A for 2 hours (the module has only been released for like 4 hours ) so this is my first impressions! But I am VERY impressed with the MIG-29A! Why am I so impressed? Am I here to create hype? No I am impressed because this is a very very good module and let me tell you why! The PC performence is amazing. The cockpit and body of the aircraft is 3D-modeled and textured to the most modern and highest standards, and still the PC performence is super good! I run a RTX 3080 with 32 GB of ram, I always play in VR (and so I did during my first impressions testing) and FPS / Framerate was ROCK SOLID 72 FPS (and with ALL my modules in DCS my BEST FPS is 72). This means the MIG-29A has as good PC performence as older modules like the F-18 but with with higher cockpit detail then F-18, nicely done Eagle Dynamics! The flight module is very FUN. It is like a mix between the F-16 and the F-18, it is very repsonsive but not twitchy or nervous at all! The engine sounds are very good aswell. You can hear all the rpms from the turbines, from the bottom and all the way up, and the sound very powerful! The only thing I am missing is more training missions, but being a pre-release module I know they will come in time. If I can sumup my first impression in one single word it would be: FUN. This bird gets a smile on your face for sure

C- 130J is even better! Thanks for the information I am a huge fan of the super hercules.

Thanks for sharing an estimated realease window! I am very much looking forward to the AC-130, what I have seen on the videos you have done most outstanding work! When it is realesed on Steam it will be a day one purchase for me!

Hey Pluton perhaps try using Reshade + adjusting weather are what you are looking for? I have not idea if it works with VR but perhaps worth a test? I am more focused on multiplayer performence in VR so I haven't really tested it out Spuds demonstration how simple weather adjustments make a massive impact on the Syria map (it is really worth watching the full video, trust me the difference is huge)

Hello Pluton I had the same problem as you my first day. You need to sync Virtual Desktop with Virtual Desktop Streamer (they are 2 different programs). You will use your Meta Username. It sounds complicated but it is not, and takes like 10 min to set-up it all up. Watch both videos below, they explain everything for you : https://youtu.be/kfoxzgGly3E?si=ZyKoxR1wJnD5NOyA Also watch this one below: https://youtu.be/kfoxzgGly3E?si=SjWpxDIiZfxZahmT

I have been watching a lof of documentaries about WW2 bomber crews lately, and got the urge to buy the FW-190 A8, so I did yesterday. The FW-190 A8 was the A-10C of WW2, armed with four 20 mm canons (!) and built like a tank. Looking forward to attack bomber formations, strafing airfields and ships

The Kiowa is such an amazing airframe, one of my favourite things to do is play on Contention server and doing recon for the team. On Contention the Kiowa can report recon targets without having to return to base, that makes the Kiowa an incredible powerful information source for the team, able to spot numerous targets in one-go (if you can survive sneaking out from the FARP without being hunted down).

Thanks for sharing super cool product, time for me to start saving up then!

That is great news Pluton ! I am super happy for you the Quest 3 , 512 GB , is an outstanding product that you can enjoy for many years to come. Welcome to the Quest 3 owners-club ! I truly love my Quest 3S and I will never launch DCS without it.

Thanks Patgun for the great explanation ! I had no clue it could sense flaps, gears, afterburners etc. Very very cool stuff for sure do you have a link to the product? I might be quite interetsted to buy it in the future!
