DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum pre-purchase

[BIGNEWY]

Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, The pre–purchase for the extraordinary DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum is now live with 30% off. A study-level, 4th generation Russian fighter has long been sought after by DCS pilots, and our MiG-29A is being developed to the highest degree of authenticity with external and cockpit models, systems, flight model, weapons, and sensors replicated to what we believe will set a high standard for DCS. The MiG-29A excels as an interceptor and particularly as a within-visual-range fighter. The aircraft benefits from exceptional flight performance, and the combination of the “Archer” R-73 high off-boresight air-to-air missile with its helmet-mounted sight (HMS) makes it hard to beat in a knife fight. We are delighted to bring this amazing aircraft to DCS. Please check out the Pre-Order Trailer. Enjoy! Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics

MiG-29A Fulcrum Pre-purchase The MiG-29A remains one of the most famous fighters in the world due to its outstanding performance characteristics, reliability, and simplicity of the weapons systems. It is capable of performing high-alpha manoeuvres that make it deadly in close air combat. In addition to the R-73 and HMS, the MiG-29A is also armed with medium-range radar-guided missiles, a 30mm cannon, and unguided bombs and rockets. The Mikoyan MiG-29A has been operated by 39 air forces since its introduction in the 1980s, and approximately more than 100 are still in service.  Key Features:  Early Access features  Fully interactive and highly detailed cockpit based on 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry. Highly detailed and accurately reproduced external model. Highly detailed pilot model with HMS. In-depth modelling of aircraft systems and equipment.  Navigation System modes: POINT-TO-POINT mode for flying along a given route and flying to a programmed point; RETURN mode for performing a return to one of the three programmed airfields; LANDING mode for landing at both programmed and non-programmed airfields; and TRAFFIC RE-ENTRY mode for performing a re-approach to a programmed airfield in case of go around. Detailed model of the Gyro Systems with Fast and Long Alignment modes and onboard navigation equipment.  The ability to program three airfields, three RSBN radio navigation beacons, and three navigation points during the mission creation phase and while flying the mission.  Realistic modelling of the SPO-15LM “Beryoza” radar warning receiver and flare dispenser system. Fire Control Radar (FCR) with search and tracking modes for air targets that includes HEAD ON, PURSUIT, AUTOMAT, TWF and CLOSE COMBAT modes.  Infrared Search and Track (IRST) and Laser Range Finder (LRF) with modes for air targets: INFRARED (IR), CLOSE COMBAT, HELMET, OPTICAL (OPT) and Boresight. LRF can be used to measure target range with automatic IRST tracking. LRF can also be used to measure slant range for ground attacks. Ground attack modes that include Pre-Designate OPT for use with moving targets and in windy conditions; Non-Pre designate OPT for use with stationary targets and in calm conditions; and TOSS when bombing is conducted with a 110-130 degree pitch angle.  In order to expand the combat capabilities for a covert attack on an aerial target and counter electronic countermeasures, the interaction of the FCR and IRSTS/LRF has been modelled.  The Kinematic Range Determination Method (KRDM) has been modelled for FCR and IRSTS/LRF. In the absence of target range data, this method provides precise range measurement.  Basic  Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) modelling. Early Access Guide.  Interactive Training missions. Full Russian cockpit and localisation of avionics, cockpit and technical inscriptions in English. At Final Release: Ground Control Intercept (GCI) command system.  Full IFF modelling. Full Flight Manual. Campaign by Eagle Dynamics. Increased number of missions and liveries. Pre-Purchase Today! Don’t miss the exclusive 30% discount during the pre-purchase phase. Hurry! This offer only lasts until launch. Once released into early access, the discount will be reduced to 20% off. The DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum will be available on Steam at a later date. Pre-purchase DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum Available for a limited time at only $55.99 Pre-purchase › Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics

Is there a list of what is going to be available at release?

Hope to go better than CH-47 one.

Pre-ordered and getting a promised gift to another DCS pilot too! Thank you ED for fulfilling my dreams!

Looks like I'll have to wait for Steam to update, but will get.

[T.Power]

PURCHASED!

Steam pre-order will come in the future, we need a early access date before we can list it. 

As soon as we have a fixed date we will let you all know. 

thank you

Good to know, thanks!

Is there a some kind of discount for FC3 MiG-29 owners? 

[ThorBrasil]

Does the MiG-29A have PFM or is it the same model as the FC3? Thanks?

[DonLuicia]

First of all, it's great that the MiG-29 is so far advanced. I also like the early access key features. I hope there will be good progress after Early Access and it won't take too long with the Ground Control Intercept. 

All in all, I'm really looking forward to this MiG. 

@BIGNEWY  Can you present a list of the early access liveries? That would be great. That way I could think about how I could design missions in the editor before the release.

I feel it could have been cheaper given how a bunch of stuff was already developed/researched with the FC3 and how relatively simple the plane is avionics wise.

I'm planning to buy it, but I do hope the radar and IRST systems are not just copy/pasted from the FC3 with some HUD updates.

Lastly, it would be great if the avionics developed for it would pave way towards some other FF FC3 modules in the future(like e.g. Su-25A and Su-27S, eventually).

Just from dcs site? Any chance to have the preorder from steam?

I’m dreaming about a su25a full fidelity, with radar etc

Ok,two weeks it is.  

Seriously, thanks for the added info.

[pepin1234]

First Soviet Fighter full fidelity by ED...? Congratulation on that!! Hopefully old cold war Era come after this first try. Mig-25 is a must as it's a very remarcable Soviet Fighter!

Can you please tell if R-27P and R-27ER gonna be in this module? At least R-27P has an Ukranian made production....

You might be surprised how the avionics and HUD for the FC3 model are completely wrong. 
 

But yes I agree, with this RSBN correction nav system modeled, you could basically copy and paste the basic functionality to Su-25, Su-27, etc
