about MiG29 release time

[DF110071]

ED team has already said that mig29 will be released later this year, but how late will this be later, say late summer or December, or even 2026...

You answered your own question. It can be anytime.

ED has only put a plan, no a dealine, write a stone or a promise. That has been answered many times.

Hi

We shared our plans which is for a release this year, but everything is subject to change. As soon as we can share more news we will let you all know. 

thank you

I’ve found that the best way to anticipate ED releases is simply not to. Just assume that it won’t be anytime soon. Then you’re guaranteed to be pleasantly surprised.

@DF110071 Be patient. We look forward to the mig-29 release. Only ED knows when it is ready for release. I, too, am eager to get the MIG.

By chance... any pics of the Shchel-3UM Helmet Mounted Sight monocle view - from pilot's perspective, already ? 

Thank you.

Damn only two months to save up for a new build. Was hoping it would be after tax time.

Its just my joke on practice to display new weapons in soviet times. Nothing really solid on release day.

Is there a source?

I don't remember where but I read it will be out in Q2 2025.

[Dragon1-1]

It's unlikely that's still the plan, given that Q1 is just about over, and we haven't seen any Wags videos about it. That said, one advantage of the MiG-29 is that it's not a glass cockpit. Like the Hind, the systems are limited to what's on dials and switches in the cockpit. There's no perpetually WIP MFD system with all sorts of obscure pages, the only screen in the cockpit is a dumb HUD repeater. While the HUD can do a few cool things, it's not an MFD.

Agree.

Would be outstanding if it really became available this year.

[DF110071]

MiG29 has frequently appeared in many recent videos, how much I wish I could play it sooner...

Yes, it appeared in videos, but I'm pretty sure it was the FC3 version. I was talking about Wags' tutorials, which would be about the MiG-29, specifically on how to do various things with it.

I just quit DCS a while ago. I will only return when they release something from the east. Tired of DCS western club.

To be honest, the MiG-29A is not easy to operate in the real world and is not a very likable fighter. If you want to achieve sales results, you should give priority to developing more modern models.

Sounds like a challenge and material for great cold war module

And more modern means more western? Or what? I know many people that find steam gauges and tube computers way more appealing than flying screens. Look at the success of the F-4E.

I also played with the F-4E fighter. After actually performing ground attack missions, I was really impressed by the pilots during the Vietnam War who could fly such an antique to perform missions. It is much easier to perform similar missions with modern fighters such as the F-16.
The MiG-29A is a fighter similar to the F-4E, but of course it is slightly more advanced than the F-4E.
Although everyone has different preferences, I believe that most computer pilots still prefer to fly modern fighters.

You are flying antique. They were flying top fighter.

The F-4 was a pioneer in many ways: it was for example where you can see the origins of the “HOTAS” concept.

Likewise, for Soviet aviation the MiG-29 was a pioneer in many ways. It will be great to fly a recreation of such a legendary fighter!
