MiG-29 fact

'Aircraft 901' coded '01 Blue', was the first flying prototype of the MiG-29 (note the '901' on the dielectric fin caps). This aircraft differed from all subsequent MiG-29s in having a longer wheelbase in an attempt to enhance the aircraft's directional stability on the ground. The nose wheels are located well ahead of the air intakes, hence the large mudguard enclosing the nose wheels. No ventral fins are fitted yet. Note the three-tone camouflage, the one-piece curved windscreen, the original narrow-chord rudders and the 'beaver tail' fairing between the engine nozzles.

meanwhile, mig29 9-12 doesn't even come on scene when us branch of 4th generation aircraft versions ends.
well and weapons - we'll fight on 27r vs 120b/s.
and look at sales - why are they like this?

That's the way you add a GPS! Did I see Sukhumi down there? 

Love the Offspring, while I wonder if the editor knows the lyrics.

It surely looked like it: I noticed that as well.

It's cool when the sim/game teach you geographics.

I didn't pay attention at first, was just looking at the GPS! Cool! I sat there watching it fly through the walleys thinking "that's oddly familiar"!
Gotta rewatch this!

Excellent suggestion!

Unfortunately, for me this doesn't create hype, it makes me more and more reluctant to open this thread as multiple times I clicked with interest to see something new and there's just a (albeit nice) picture. Nothing in particular against the dude, but I just got tired of the pictures so this was a way to "clean" the thread from my point of view. That whole page was nothing but pictures.

If there would be another thread just for the pics, I wouldn't mind it at all.null

IMHO: posting it like this is rude. And btw, there are us who actually liked each and every picture posted here.

Yes, I for one miss my daily MiG-29 fix

[okopanja]

So, since we have seen so many pictures, which liveries do you think ED will include in the official Mig-29 module?

By the way, the MiG-29 9-12 does not have many USSR/Russian Air Force liveries that can be implemented in the game (most of them are quite boring), the most interesting liveries are from Germany/Poland, etc.

Most needed are the Soviet/Russian, Germany/DDR, Poland (these were already shown afaik), Iraq, Iran, Syria, Ukraine. Accuracy and realism is more important than "coolness" of the livery imho.

I would add Czechoslovakia (plus Czechia, Slovakia for post Cold War period) to that list. They had interesting camos, reminiscent of the DDR ones, but different.

Roger, better move there, but it's pity since the majority of samples provided by @Ronin_Gaijin was in this thread.

Do you think ED should provide the GCI officer screens as well?

Yep and let's not forget US aggressors

They'd have to add it to some CA radar screens with some terrain/map details. Voice communication - intercept lead by AI would be priority though.

In that case I think you are contradictinhg yourself a little with your suggestions  . IIRC ED stated that the specific variant they will be modelling is the Warsaw Pact export 9.12A - in which case prioritising accuracy and realism for liveries, the most needed would be:

- Poland

- DDR + Unified Germany(Luftwaffe)

- Czechoslovakia + Czech Republic and Slovakia

- Romania

- Bulgaria

...i.e the nations(past and present) that actually operated that specific variant. 

Second priority(since the Soviet 9.12 is all but identical to the 9.12A) would be;

- Soviet Union + Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova etc

Third priority (operators of the lower spec 9.12b export variant);

- Hungary

- Yugoslavia + Serbia

- Iraq

- Iran

- Syria

- Cuba 

..etc

Yeah, you got me there. I can live with B liveries on our A. Or maybe they'll think about some easy way to simulate B.

It seems to me that in the context of liveries, when determining the required list of liveries, the modification will not be taken into account. The priority will be liveries for countries whose maps are (or are planned) in the simulator or which are often used in missions or campaigns (USSR/Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Germany, Czechoslovakia)

No I don't mind liveries for other sub-variants either. In the grand scale of things(MiG-29 versions), the technical differences between 9.12/9.12A and 9.12B are miniscule anyway.
