carss Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I think all of us that have the 1.5.4 update on the openbeta might have definitely tried the new Mig-29A model. I certainly think it is absolutely stunning. I have something for the other Mig-29 versions. Can the new model of the Mig-29S be the Mig-29SMT, not the one with the giant conformal fuel tank, but the one with the slightly larger spine compared to the regular Mig-29A. Also can all these new Mig-29s, (and probably the F-15s also) upon total release of the new 1.5.4 update be distributed to the countries they operate in real?

Flogger23m Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) The MIG-29S will likely come later. I hope so because I hardly use the A. But there is no confirmation that it will, unless I am mistaken. The SMT is fairly different from the S. It uses different avionics, upgraded cockpit and has a considerably thicker spine. The S has a larger spine than the A, but the SMT is notable larger than the original S. For all intents a purposes the SMT requires a lot of work. I would like to see an FC3 level SMT, but you may as well go all the way and make a MIG-29K/MIG-35. They look nicer and have two extra hardpoints. I'd buy such a module/pack. For reference, this is a MIG-29SMT: MIG-29S MIG-29A Edited September 20, 2016 by Flogger23m 1
carss Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 True that, but then why not have the Mig-29SE or SM which have a slightly larger spine than the S but not as large as the SMT version [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:
probad Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 this thread does not have any factual basis in terms of feasibility and is completely based on the aesthetic preferences of the op. :doh::doh::doh:
Krasniye Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Why would we get the SMT? It is a modern in-service MiG-29 and it functions much differently from traditional MiG-29s. I will never understand why people think we can somehow get things like the Su-27SM and the MiG-29SMT. They have MFDs and modern (classified) systems. Plus the SMT is pretty ugly compared to the other MiGs :P >>Find my liveries (new model MiG-29 Liveries!) and mods here<<
Flogger23m Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 I suppose a MIG-29SMT and Su-27SM may be possible at FC3 level. But we can't be sure. In either case, it won't be a free aircraft given to FC3 owners. I'd pay for a pack with a MIG-29SMT/K/35 and Su-27SM2/35S though.

Add to that maybe an F-15C MSIP II or an F-16 Block 52 or possibly a Block 60 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:
karl_T Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 It never ceases to amaze me how many people are preoccupied with asthetics when capability is what any pilot wants. case in point the Mig-29 SMT. Personally I would welcome it paricularly one with a clickable cockpit. let's face the MiG-29 as a strike platform is a bit of alight weight compared to the Hornet C. As is the "S" is still an A2A fighter. Apparent the Russia's Air Force brass thought so too. I , we, want the most capable sim we can get. Btw, if this sounds like a pitch for the SMT, that's because it is.
firmek Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Quite an old post necromancy but since we've started. As far as I understand the newest Russian aircraft that we can get will be probably MiG-23 and still it's a speculation if it's going to be a project and who would make it. Having MiG-29 would not only be great by itself but basically DCS strives for any modern fully fidelity Russian aircraft. A good starting point however should be ED clearing the AI database as it's not possible in mission editor to select MiG-29 for countries that had or even still are operating MiG-29. Now, there are a lot of really great looking Russian aircafts, but SMT: (sorry, couldn't resist) F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all
