I find the pluging for import my DEM to 3dmax, also I fixed all the seams, spikes, voids, hell I even have all airbases in 3d. But now how do I export to DCS terrain format.

Interesting, I thought that in matters of war reliability came first, not the war on prices or contracts.

Any moder russian warplane will do, though Su-27SM3 or Mig-29SMT will be a nice module.

Here is the other camo pattern for orient.

I found some drawing of a Mig-29 camo pattern that is very similar to the one of the Mig-21, here you go: You could use this pattern for the Mig-21. Three days ago I went to the airbase and stand very close to the Mig to see all the details. Thats way I noticed that the camo is very similar.:D Remember that none have the same pattern. Hope this is more helpful than mine, I always got low grades in drawing.:music_whistling:

Yea me too. I hoping to make some scenario for the DCS Mig-21BIS like Cuba, for everyone. Care to explain how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Lest pray that they hear you. It would be very nice to see and SMT in the game. Nah after seeing the Su-27 3d model the Mig-29 model seems like 2004 game.

jajajaja okok you are right but in the time of the poll everybody was asking for USA hardware. And the plan was to add a poll for RUS hardware. And it work at lease in DCS MIG-21BIS. Maybe is time to update the poll using classification like Interceptor, Multirole, Bomber, Fighter. And ad planes for every categories.

I think that is time that DCS updates the 3d model of the Mig-29 is very ugly in comparison with beautiful, marvelous, amazing, incredible, [insert yours] Su-27 3d model. I read somewhere in the forum that RAZBAM is doing a Mig-29 I hope SMT, M, K.

thanks :) I came across this article reading the inform of the IAF ind the forum: Su-30MK Beats F-15C 'Every Time Aviation Week and Space Technology By David A. Fulghum and Douglas Barrie [May 24, 2002] http:// http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/689025/posts?page=119 What you think of it. Hocus pocus or real facts

what's BFM?

Your are right, but they always play with advantage, An interesting Fight would be in absence of signal intelligence, satellite guidance, automated software control and in hi ECM environment. And in better view is like Kaktus29 said one aspect that emerged quite quickly in thous exercises was the commercial aspect in the field - international competition for the sale of high technology weapon systems.

The conditions of the IAF-USAF exercise in Gwalior did not prove anything in absolute terms. Under certain other conditions, in particular, with massive deployment of electronic support (communications, aerial battle coordination, electronic countermeasures, etc.), the Americans would probably handle themselves very differently and the Indians would probably not have carried the day. However, the fact remains that after the IAF-USAF exercise and the media blaze surrounding it, the myth of near-invincibility of the USAF has suffered a serious if not fatal blow. Certain American weaknesses in crew performance appeared during the simulated aerial combat. These confirm periodic reports of shortcomings in the capabilities of the American pilots and limitations in their range of action. In general, the judgments made on the conduct of the American pilots in their action against the Indian pilots refer to the "absence of initiative, stereotype attitudes, blind obedience to rehearsed scenarios, lack of adaptability, etc". The American pilots are generally well trained, with very elaborate routines, but the highly structured nature of the training itself leads to a certain predictability in behaviour. This weakness leads one to question the validity of the method, especially like those being experienced. This is part of the IAF inform on COPE Sorry for posting in chunk but I'm reading the inform as I post. In more general terms, the American pilots operate in highly centralized systems, highly controlled - albeit in a 'sophisticated', low-profile, way i.e. the pilots are centralized and controlled indirectly through procedures and methods that are presented as affording greater freedom of action and effectiveness, whereas in effect, the procedures and methods merely iterate the general pattern. The guiding concept is one a 'system of systems', the reduction of constraint providing the illusion of freedom of action, while buttressing a rigid overall framework that effectively ensures broad general constraint. In 1965, the Americans used high technology fighter aircraft (F-105s, F-4s), with highly automated capabilities (missiles, radar, etc.), in total disregard of the lessons of the Korean War. During the 1965-68 Rolling Thunder campaign, the Americans encountered serious problems in outgunning the much less powerful North Vietnamese, which was highly distressing for a combatant commanding massive superiority. It was only after a radical change in combat doctrine and tactics, through the establishment of the Top Guns schools in 1969 and through tactics like Dissimilar Air Combat Tactics (DACT) that the Americans succeeded in reversing the situation in the course of the 1972 campaign, where the USAF chalked up 10 enemy aircraft kills for each US aircraft destroyed by the North Vietnamese. These doctrines and tactics had favoured decentralization in all forms: initiative, pilot adaptability, and so on. As from end of the 1970s, the above situation again began to turn against the Americans, under the weight of constraints that involved technical factors (need for control and centralisation of advanced technologies) as well as psychological factors (need for psychological conformity with the American system). Major campaigns were organised annually for highly planned and centralised training, around the concept of Red Flag at Nellis AFB, in Nevada. The idea was to organise vast aerial combat training campaigns with in-depth tactical intervention, under the central control of aerial-electronic surveillance capability, such as AWACS aircraft and its successors. Allied aircraft were invited to participate, with some signing up enthusiastically for the American programme and putting themselves fully under American control (the case for the majority of the countries), by maintaining their national and their independence (the case of the French and the very recent case of India). Often quoted has been Colonel Mike Snodrass, Commander of the USAF's 3rd Wing at Elmendorf Air Force Base, which sent the F-15Cs for the simulated dogfight (at Gwalior against IAF Su-30Ks, Mirage 2000s and modified MiG-21s, the "Bison"). "What happened to us was it looks like our Red Flag air training might not be as good because the adversaries are better than we thought. And in the case of the Indian Air Force, both their training and some of their training was better thn we anticipated". This 'incident' has caused quite a brouhaha in the United States. There was a political and strategic assessment, as well as an operational rundown. In any event, what was clear was that the best fighter aircraft the American "superpower: could field was outclassed in aerial combat by the Indian fighters by a crushing nine wins to one. America was beaten at her own game - advanced technology and aerial combat. It would be very interesting see a mockup without any help from Aerial Combat Controls

In combat provided that the MiG-29's 7.5g above 0.85 mach can be avoided it should beat any F-16 due to its BVR capability , higher thrust/weight ratio and lower wing loading. While in recent exercises between USAF F-16 and German MiG-29A's showed that in ACM the greatest advantage the MiG-29 had was it's helmet mounted sight coupled with the AA-11 Archer which gives it a kill zone greater than any aircraft serving. F-16 pilots found that any aircraft within 45deg's of the nose of a MiG-29 was always under grave threat. The ability to target aircraft well of boresight has proved to be such a success that helmet mounted sights have become requirements on any new fighter program. This is and extract from a inform regarding Mig-29 vs F-16 form IAF

Those excercises showed that MiG-29 was superior in dog fight. due to the helmet mounted sights in MiGs and off-boresight missiles not to mention excellent passive IR tracking sensor. but in larger scale excercises when using AWACS and some other air battle controls were proven to be much better and the kill-ratio turned against MiGs.

Very interesting approach, I had not thought about that. You can see this in recent event like the sell of S-300 to iran.

I have the other camo patter, the one for the Orient part of the country. You guys still need it or with the explanation is eneough. Shinigami Out...

Hi: I would like to know if there is a way to add a DEM to DCS for making my own scenario, in case that they are none please DCS guys consider adding this feature, cause just to put an example the new coming modules like DCS Mig-21 or DCS Mi-8MTV2 they both are in many parts of the world and I'm sure that many peoples would like to play in their own country with all the airbases and stuff. There are much to tell about this feature, and I'm sure that other guys have the same request at lease my budies all want play in others places in the world like Afganistan, Libia, Iraq. Shinigami Out...

All promises are debt so here you go guys, Sorry for the poor drawing skills but I think is very illustrative, The pattern isn't the same for every plane so feel free to improve all you guys want. The numbers are in black. And the marking are described on the picture. Also I didn't do the Oriental cause is very similar to the one that you already have. Minor changes in colors and is perfect.:thumbup: Best Regards Shinigami...:D

Nop sorry no camera allowed, but I'm doing the paintdesign blueprint. I'm at 80% of completion.

Thous are not BIS, The are provably older MF or PF and that nose cone is the protective cover that they have when are in storage. Is like the pictures I put and just like REPUBLICANO said. Different paint schemes for every plane and regions, I will try to make paintdesign blueprint cause I have no pictures but I see the planes almost every day.

beczl: I recently entered your webpage: http://www.dcs-mig21.com and saw the Cuban skin that you made, Is really nice but is and old one. Now in Cuba are two types of camouflages for the Mig-21, one is from the Occident part and other for the Oriental part of the country. The one you have is from the one that is in a museum in miami, that one is very old cause that plane was stolen from us. Here are some pictures of the new pattern for both Orient and Occident if you have some question please ask me I will gladly help. This one is for Occident: Is amoeba type of patter the patter is a lot similar to the Russian but with the color that are in the pictures, there are no better pictures than that one. I find it in image shack. The colors are: green tone 1 green tone 2 green tone 3 for the radome brown tone 1 brown tone 2 Blue tone And the Oriental one: Blue tone green tone 1 gray tone If you can please update the textures:thumbup:.

What about red flag exercises, I think that India brought some of his Mig-29, though USA make the encounter awfully favorable for they, It was pretty tight.

thanks for update.

Any way the falcon got ripped jajajajaja. Now serious Pilotasso you are right my bad I was so trilled by the mockup that write it wrong. A question has anybody see a mockup with F-15 and Mig-29 upgraded version both? Shinigami Out...
