    The banner is a Su-33 with a J-15 skin 

    How do you know it's an SU-33? The differences between the two aren't visible in the image.

    That is, engines, cockpit, radar, etc.

    Unless you designed the banner 😄

    To be honest, the MiG-29A is not easy to operate in the real world and is not a very likable fighter. If you want to achieve sales results, you should give priority to developing more modern models.

    I agree with you, in fact I wish to see the one of the DCS banner (I think is the J-15) fully simulated!

    It's not easy to get into a MiG-29 with no SPO, lack of maintenance, faulty radars and no GCI (the backbone of Soviet air doctrine), to fly and fight in the visual style of World War II in the 90s! Everyone who flies the 29 in DCS knows that it's instant death, I've already seen the video, it's impressive. (Video with english subs below)

    i came to DCS for two planes :
    one is alredy in game  - F-16
    second (most beautiful) -  is MIG-29, which should be relesed in FF version

    how can u compare MIG-29 and GTA6?😄

     

    I love the damn GTA, and this return to a Vice City style and years, it is a must buy! goodbye to DCS for ... another while! 😄

    Just for the sake of the clarity: there are 9.12 airframes capable of carrying R-77, after certain upgrades. However these upgrades are not part of the current scope. Maybe in future, who knows...

    The MIG-29SMT is the upgrade package for both original airframes and can carry R-77, quote from Wiki:

    "The MiG-29SMT version is an upgrade package for the first generation MiG-29 (9.12 to 9.13) containing many of the improvements developed for the MiG-29M. Additional tanks included in a larger dorsal hump provide a maximum range of 2,100 km (without external tanks). The cockpit features improved HOTAS-type controls, two 152 × 203 mm color LCD multifunction displays and two smaller monochrome LCD displays. The upgraded Zhuk-ME radar offers similar characteristics to the MiG-29M. The engines are upgraded to the RD-33 Series 3 that offer an afterburning thrust of 8,300 kgf (81.4 kN) each. The weapons load is increased to 4,500 kg on six underwing pylons and one central pylon, with armament options similar to the MiG-29M variant. This update is also focused on accepting avionics and weapons of non-Russian origin."

    Interesting Video. 😀

    This is another kind of beast, ++++ far from the MIG-29A. Smokeless engines, extended flight range with more fuel, MFCDs with datalink and air to ground capability, R-77 and another new weapons, a new radar, air to air refueling. Ufff. Is like the SMT, the K or the Peruvian SMP

    Will the Full Fidelity MiG-29A use existing FC3 assists, or will it be built more or less from the ground up?

    We will see. The FM is in a good place I think. But systems modeling takes time. They aren’t stupid they will reuse what they can but it’s a long way from FC3 to full fidelity. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t care. I’m interested to see if this comes before the Flogger. I hope not. I think that might really hurt Razbam. I’ll be buying both on day one of pre order. But I’m an aviation nerd that loves Soviet aircraft. 

    If ED waits for RAZBAM's MIG23 we will never see the MIG29 this year, those guys have been in the project for years and are far to deliver.

    Anyway I will buy both models, but I have hope in ED to deliver this year. Everything of the actual FC3's MIG29A can be reused, why not? the cockpit is ok, only needs to change a few things, the PFM is ok, the ordnance is the same. The only real changes are in the avionics model, some HUD elements are different and that's all. For example, the SPO-15 RWR functions are different than the actual FC3 russian RWR, I hope they simulate the real one like the MIG-29 9.12 manual.

     

    By the way, the SU-27S manual is online too, and the US airforce have been using them as redfor for tears. Time to release that one too!.

     

    Razbam/ED please clarify - Is the Harrier out of EA and consequently complete?

    in AV-8B N/A

    Surely, but surely a proper Manual is an absolute bare minimum requirement before leaving EA...even if there are future systems to be implemented/polished

    Crazy they could even consider calling it out of EA (even if not feature complete) without a manual...its meant to be a study sim...what are you supposed to study?

    I truly hope this isn't something being run up the flagpole to see if they can get the F/A18C out of EA without a manual...

     

    I wonder how many people have ever read an ED manual, I mean, compared to the people who fly a DCS module. In my years flying simulators, the average of those I know come to ask first how to do this or that, or to watch videos on YouTube, than to read a manual. Many here have given extreme importance to this, in a digital world in which documentation can be done in a thousand ways, and not necessarily written. :book:
