check the ease of this flight here. no burner. speed between 500 and 750 with fast fluctuations topped on less then 95% rpm but still agile. this looks too easy compared to DCS struggle in FC3 module. have feel would burn half of fuel trying to immitate this in DCS. hope FF module will match this close enough.

There's no struggle in the FC3 MiG-29. And you don't need to wait for the FF version. My flying is rusty but I'm not going to spend more time on this either because it was damned close as was. TRK attached as well.

I was thinking of the exact same thing.
If you match the internal fuel and weather conditions, the outcome would be very close.
Thank you for proving that!

None of those are reliable sources. One notices mistakes made from books on MiG-21s and onwards. There are very few books, let alone authors who have done their research. (Some mistakes become replicated by the pilot community as well.)

 

That's the reality of it.

Which ones do you know to be reliable?

[zerO_crash]

For MiG-29, here are some good authors:

 

- Меницкий Валерий

- Антон Павлов

- Сергей Войлоков

- Андрею Анатольевичу Симонову

- Балаков Игорь Борисович

- Борис Орлов

For other aircraft, there are other authors. It should also be mentioned, there has never existed a book which is completely correct. To that point, the above-mentioned, are mostly correct, but there might be a wrong metric here or there. In general, fo books regarding history of aircraft, the knowledge to be extracted is more of anecdotal value. Don't get tok hung up on numbers. Otherwise, if you do, cross-confirm it with other sources (and multiple). Still, the books are fantastic, albeit written in Russian. I know, for a fact, that most are not available in English at all. You'd have to translate it for yourself. Esp. А. Павлов and С. Войлоков, have produced books, which are of especially high quality. Schematic drawings are basically 100% correct, they have photos not found on internet or any other book. Pretty unique material. They also have a book, created together, which is to be considered a bible on the MiG-29 изделие 9.12. (The whole book is purely about 9.12).

 

I had to find a old post that I remember written here on the forum, regarding some of the commok mistakes and errors in the commonly found books - e.g. Mikheev (Александр Александрович Михеев). Here you can see just some of the mistakes of the geometric schematics (maybe you can translate it):

 

The above, is not to say that you shouldn't read their books. They are still really decent, don't get me wrong. But as said, extract the anecdotal information, but don't get hung up on specific numbers or specific details. Михеев, Фомин, Мазепов (and two other authors), have for example a pretty decent book on the Ka-50/52 program. While it had some errors here and there (relatively few), the book ranks among top three on the Ka-50/52 design with unqiue photos and history on design evolution:

 

 

Should you wonder about other aircraft (Ru/East), shoot

I do have the Павлов, Войлоков book and it is a huge asset in the MiG-29 history.
I also have the Валерий Меницкий book, "Моя Небесная Жизнь : Воспоминания Летчика-Испытателя" which I am going to be reading next.

I did not know about Андрею Анатольевичу Симонову, Балаков Игорь Борисович, Борис Орлов and unfortunately I do not have any of their books on the MiG-29.
In regards to authors in general, lately I found from the MiG-23MLA chat that Виктор Марковский is also a very good.

Thank you very much for replying and for providing good information.

Марковский Виктор Юрьевич has generally good publications, but not all are exhaustive, which is why I stated previously that it all depends on the specific aircraft one is interested in. Also, the type of lecture you are looking for, will matter (run down of history, scientific aspects and comparative studies, pilot & test pilot recollections, etc...).

 

Марковский has a good, albeit short book on MiG-23 in Afghanistan - "Истребители МиГ-23 в Афганистане".

He also has a pretty good release with Приходченко Игорь Владимирович on MiG-23. That's at least what I hear, haven't read that one myself, yet.

Yes, I have both. Thank you.
