Revor Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) A lot of pilots would like to see a more modern Mig29 as a full fidelity module. I can understand that it is not possible to make a full fidelity Su-35 as a module because of strict laws in russia about that and that you have employees in russia. Would it be possible to make a more modern Mig29 version in the future which is based on e.g the more modern polish Mig29 ? Thanks in advance Revor Edited February 1 by Revor
bies Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) 1) ED was nearly forced to abandon 1980s Soviet era MiG-29 9.12 due to Russian law. More modern variant will never be even remotely possible and Russian law is being even more restrictive and paranoid due to war. It's better to accept this, especially because 1980s offers more interesting and more realistically recreated combat enviroment in every aspect, weapon guidance, avionics, radar parameters, overall decision making etc., before computers took over everything. 2) Poland didn't modernize MiG-29 combat capabilities, they added few obvious elements to make it compatible with NATO air power, like different IFF, different radio, some GPS. Overall it didn't influence its combat capabilities, it was still 1980s weapon system. 3) Original 9.12 fits perfectly as DCS has planty of 1980s modules from the era ready and coming along with MiG-29 9.12; like Mi-24P, Su-17M, MiG-21bis, MiG-23, Su-25, L-39, A-6E, A-7E, F-14, F-4E, Mirage F.1, IAI Kfir, Tornado IDS, C-101, MB-339, Bo-105, Huey, Gazelle L. Plus all AI air / ground / sea assets from the era. Plus 2 great maps Iraq for Desert Storm '91 and Fulda Gap for 1980s Cold War. 1980s MiG-29 9.12 fits DCS perfectly and it can be recreated in a very realistic way. What is more 9.12 had the best raw flight preformance among MiG-29 family, highest T/W and lowest wing loading - far more exciting then late, overweight, underpowered MiG-29SMT. Whose avionics would have to be copletely made up fiction. Edited April 22 by bies 1
Ramius007 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Issue is not about delivering 9.12, but about delivering only 9.12, without at least 1 version that get MLU, I would love if Fulcrum get same treatment as Hornet or Viper, that have their 2000's upgrades included in game. Of couse, alternative would be current Mig-29C from FC, as another FF variant
