Hi,

First, thank you for the first red side aircraft, I have been waiting for this for years!

According to this article : https://migflug.com/jetflights/german-luftwaffe-mig-29-fulcrum/

Is this Mig-29 version be equipped with the helmet mounted sight?

Sorry if this question is not really relevant, I don't know exactly all variants of the Mig-29 and how they are equipped with.

Thanks,

Vincent

Yes. From the announcement:

The OEPS includes an optical location station OLS that consists of an Infrared Search and Track System (IRST), a Laser Range Finder (LRF), and a Helmet-Mounted Sight (HMS) designation system.

It's the first one that could reasonably be called modern. Of the others, only MiG-21 has a Fox 1, and it's more like a radar guided Sidewinder than anything. MiG-29 will be the first Red aircraft with any sort of BVR capability.

You didn't say anything about "modern" above... 😉

OP might just be a modern-only player. That's by far the most popular part of DCS.

Since I don't have any statistical data on this, I don't know if "modern" is the most popular era. Since there are currently mainly modern modules, it stands to reason that these are the ones that are flown. You will only be able to judge it well when the many cold war modules that are being developed are released in the future.

C-130, Tornado, F-100, Mig-29, A-7, A-6, MIG-23/17, Kfir, F4U, F6F, LA-7, CH-47, Kiowa, F-4, F-104, J-8II, F-8, G.91R, BO-105, Eurofighter, A1-H Skyraider (most are Cold War era or earlier)

Older modules being brought up to current standards will also help: MiG-21, MiG-15, F-86, F-5E, …
