I absolutely hope your interpretation is most accurate

According to this there may be some extra longer waiting time for the 9-12 Depressing

If we are really lucky we'd get a full fidelity 29K 9-31 instead of the 27K/33. imho at least

Haven't done this myself, but it should probably be enough to copy from the MiG-29A folder to the MiG-29G folder inside the liveries folder.

Absolutely wonderful to see. Going to be flying with this skin a lot now.

Antarctica would be magnificent. There would also be no need to include any proper airports since we could just make our own airports on the ice-sheet as per video:

Is the F-106A completely missing from this thread?

Looks like the toughest part about modelling the MiG-23 is well in hand: From the DCS: Roadmap (unofficial - NO DISCUSSION HERE) thread

Aerospatiale Dauphin of course. Which for some mysterious reason is missing from the list.

Some info from the Unofficial RoadMap Thread which I haven't seen or noticed here in this development update thread (or I may need very good glasses/ new eyes). t. also interested in the flogger

Actually the Bison is a 21-93

My humble suggestion for a GIUK-gap map. Includes two military airbases: Keflavík and Kinloss? (or is it Lossiemouth) afaik. Loads of runways and ocean real estate.

It was un-cancelled when they got a go ahead from the appropriate government ministries to model some newer avionics.

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.

TacView is currently what you should be using. Some servers allow you to view your own recorded data 10 minutes after depicted events occurred. Other servers offer their own Tacview recordings online.

The most advanced NATO MiG-29 is the Slovakian MiG-29AS I believe. There are a number of shots from 29AS cockpits online such as this one The G is basically as we can tell from its FC3 version just barely modified.

Absolutely nice picture of this incredibly attractive plane. My wallpaper is a drawing/painting of a K from a similar aspect used by the chinese plastic model kit company Trumpeter on their MiG-29K plastic model kit.

Completely agree even if its slightly slower, heavier and less maneuverable. Best looking plane and also my wallpaper

MiG-29M 9.15 is such a beauty. Would be so nice if we had a ff (or even fc3) model of the plane in DCS. There is no chance of course. With a quadruplex analog fbw pitch control channel with no mechanical backups and triplex FBW roll and yaw control channels with mechanical backup it certainly would be a very different beast to fly compared to the 9.12 and 9.13 we got already. Unstable in pitch control like the Flanker and improved fuel economy to boost. Apparently it had a tv camera inside its IRST as well and could guide missiles to 4 targets at once. I'm guessing similarly how the 9.13S can launch R-77s at 2 targets in the special mode, feel free to correct me. Its trump card though must have been the advanced air to ground munitions. I read once a bomber squadron got issued MiG-29As expecting theyd get the M as soon as it got into production. Of course they never got them (same as DCS pilots).

I believe it was a simple flight model, predecessor of the Flaming Cliffs simple flight models which we had on the FC3 planes until they were improved with the current much much more advanced and complicated (to make/understand/program) flight model. I suspect if the current 29 flight model was modified with a dash of more lift and drag and a (8G max before things started to break) it would be far more accurate than the 2.5 model. Additionally the 2.5 MiG-29K (which was supposed to be the original 1980s version of course) had the cockpit of the 9.12 or 9.13 instead of the actual original MiG-29K cockpit of which there is a beautiful 3d rendition posted on these very forums.

So this is the thread I should have posted the F-102A, F-106A. Didn't notice the Korean War tag there. Also MiG-25. That plane would be nice to have in order to "jump" over the opposition and blow up their Awacs with 4xR-40s jump over them again and land to get more R-40s. Might be risky in case of an opposing F-15 amraam carrier on the way. But still it would be an enjoyable enterprise. Then of course Draken, finnish forest dwelling variant naturally.

I'd say F-102A F-106A Fast, nimble and interesting™ missiles

Don't forget that some of the stick movements are from the dampers which not only affect the flight surfaces but move the stick as well so the pilot can feel where the surfaces are moving. Something which we don't have in DCS (the damper effected stick movement).

Interestingly enough we could have western sources for (all the) data on the standard Soviet 9.12 (non-9.12A or 9.12B) since Slovakia apparently bought a few of those (soviet 9.12) from Russia in the 90s. Additionally the US bought quite a few (soviet) 9.13 from Moldova in the 90s. Maybe this has all been mentioned already in this topic but I didn't notice.

Now thats an extremely Finnish Draken
