AeriaGloria Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Yeah I’m sure there won’t be a single amount of MiG-29 development until BS3 release. I only hope that without needing to do PFM or only minor updates to that work may be faster the usual. I believe 3D model interior and exterior will only need minor updates despite being on essentially same level as Hornet currently. A lot of switches already have arguements in model viewer. I assume coding the sensors will be hardest part 2 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the model is there but systems like radar, EOS, RWR, navigation, data-link, laser range finder, IFF and some others are quite complex and are not neccessarily modeled correctly at the moment. 1 Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s what I meant by sensors. They will need to take the radar technology they’ve developed with F-18/F-16, and apply it to EOS using the new FLIR tech. Then design it’s interaction with radar, like KBO mode and the lead/slave system. Addition of small/large scan zones. They said they would update SPO-15 for full fidelity, it would be cool to have target types and range indicator align more with reality. Im sure a lot of us are waiting for that navigation panel to work right, surprised how long it takes the gyros to align in the real thing. I also hope to god that they implement Lazur datalink, especially now that Mirage 2000C has TAF mode. Lazur would put it on par with the addition of its control of your radar and commands when to use AB and such. Would be cool, I know MiG-23MLA will have it and it would be a shame for an earlier MiG to have it but not 29. While I believe a full fidelity 29 will in a lot of ways make it LESS effective, GCI datalink will give it a capability not only it doesn’t have but only one or two other modules have. It could be powerful Honestly some of my biggest questions are about weapons restrictions. In real life MiG-29A 9.12 is limited to R-60M, R-73, and R-27R in air to air department. The default pre set loadouts reflect this but you can still load all other R-27 variants such as T, ER and ET. I would expect them to change it to only use R-27R, but I’ve also heard discussion That many people might accept R-27Er the way the F-16 has 4 HARMs and 6 Mavericks. That since it’s a modular missile, the pylon connection is the same the launch/guidance unit is the same, that the MiG-29 could physically launch it it would just have the DLZ of R-27R. Obviously I don’t think this was done and there are no photos of it unless upgraded to 9.13S standard I believe, but I wonder what would peoples reactions be if they either only allowed R-27R or also R-27ER? I would be very surprised by any T/ET, as that would need the rail to have cooling. This will be a very interesting release Edited February 14, 2022 by AeriaGloria Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a very interesting release And then there's R-27P for jamming targets and a prototype R-27AE Fox 3 with active radar guidance, so that would be a big ol' can of worms to open seeing how technically it should be possible to use them (which is, like, the whole point of said missiles). A bigger concern for me is if it will be able to use the video screen as a TID like it's done in Su-27 that we have now. I don't know whether that's the case IRL, but visually the screens are identical in both planes. Our current FC3 model uses it only as a HUD repeater, and it's the single biggest turn-off of the plane for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be same mechanical unit, it may have switch for tactical display, but IRL it was just to use common components and there is no SA datalink information to show. Only designed for Lazur GCI datalink, using EWR not AWACS and to only guide you to one target via HUD instructions, even using Lazur specific radar modes 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 This whole thing started with Simon Pearson, ED spilling the beans about Fulcrum A coming to DCS. While ED newsletter did not provide any 'official' announcement, they still said it would be a project after BS3. Few days ago, Simon said Tornado is planned. Again ED denied. I see a pattern here.

Dragon1-1 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I guess someone's a blabbermouth. Although, it's been well known ED wanted a MiG-29. It's possible that they meant "after BS3 is out, we'll start making active efforts towards making it happen". Doesn't mean they get through, but honestly, it's so well known there's no reason they wouldn't. If not with Russians, then with the Germans or Poles. Plenty of those in NATO service, or in museums. Tornado might be harder. Word goes around that it's not that they aren't trying. Rumor is that Panavia is being difficult, another rumor (some time ago) was that two 3rd party devs were fighting over the license. Going from "trying" to "doing" might not be trivial in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Either way with BS3 still in progress, there won't be any news. Let's see what gives after BS3 releases some time in the future, not so distant one would imagine. 1 Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
