Flogger23m Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Is the MIG-29S going to be updated with a new 3D model and flight model as well? Can anyone point out the major differences (if any) in the air frame between the two?

Can anyone point out the major differences (if any) in the air frame between the two? MiG-29S has an enlarged "spine" where the internal ECM device is installed. The A is lacking this device and has no enlarged spine. The MiG-29G has the same airframe as the A, which means it should also get a nice upgrade soon. Here are a couple photos.

flanker1 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 The MiG-29A Model is in the update, but it's not complete, I Imagine once the model is completed, a new 3D Pilot will also replace the old one. hmmm - it is a new one - in fact the current as you can see in the 27, 31 and 24. so, what´s the issue?
Flogger23m Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks, I always assumed the spine was a bit larger but it was hard to tell with the older 3D models. I want to do some skins eventually but will do most on the S. That is assuming it is getting updated to.
Seaeagle Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 MiG-29S has an enlarged "spine" where the internal ECM device is installed. The A is lacking this device and has no enlarged spine. It also has larger internal fuel capacity. Here are a couple photos. MiG-29S The aircraft in the photo is actually a MiG-29(9.13) - Ukraine does not have the MiG-29S. But the airframe is the same though :)

But the airframe is the same though :) Ahh I forgot, I just remember they changed the spine for the ECM :D But now I have a question, I thought the 9.13 and the MiG-29S were the same? Isn't the 9.13 the Mikoyan designation of the aircraft? Of course it is likely a stripped export version, do they designate those differently? In-Game Handle: Lutrafisk She/Her

Isn't the 9.13 the Mikoyan designation of the aircraft? MiG-29 (9.12) "Fulcrum A" - initial version from 1983 MiG-29 (9.13) "Fulcrum C" - upgraded version from 1987 MiG-29S (9.13S) "Fulcrum C" - 9.13 with modified radar(N019M)/R-77 compatibility - from ~ 1992 So yes they are practically the same except for the radar upgrade :) Of course it is likely a stripped export version, do they designate those differently? As mentioned above the 9.13 version was introduced to service in 1987 - the Soviet Union didn't dissolve until 1991, so the Ukrainian 9.13 in the photo is not an export item - they got it when they were still part of Soviet Union. :) Later MIG offered(still does) the MiG-29S for export though - designated MiG-29SE. P.S. These days export versions are often "stripped-up" rather than -down :D Edited June 28, 2016 by Seaeagle
Mainstay Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 hmmm - it is a new one - in fact the current as you can see in the 27, 31 and 24. so, what´s the issue? The pilot in the new MiG-29A model is a low quality model. So yes there are still things that need to be updated. 1 - External Fueltank 2 - Pilot Model 3 - Engine spooling 4 - Landing / Taxi lights 5 - Other minor fixes that have not catched my eye :smilewink:
