Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted September 19 Posted September 19 6 hours ago, RyanR said: It's amazing how "primitive" the avionics are..... which makes the module that much more interesting. The "4th generation" nomenclature is more of a Western PR move anyway, but if you follow that logic you could make an argument about 9-12A being more of a 3.5gen fighter. Think of it as a stepping stone, an F-4 on steroids basically more in line with an F-14 (or early F-15A) than F-15C/16/18. This and a FFD Su-27 are probably my most anticipated modules (fixed wing anyway) of all time, and I am elated we have one in DCS atm. 4 Spoiler Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 96GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo DDR5-6000 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 990Pro 4TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero VPC MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with 20cm S-curve extension | VPC CM3 throttle | VPC CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | VPC R1-Falcon pedals with damper | Pro Flight Trainer Puma OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Win11 Pro 24H2 - VBS/HAGS/Game Mode ON
westr Posted September 20 Posted September 20 I’ve wanted a proper Mig-29 module in DCS for a long time. It feels great, cockpit looks great, it sounds great. It’s probably so far for me the most impressive DCS module release. I’m very pleased with it. 4 RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension.

gwizairshows Posted Wednesday at 07:24 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:24 PM This mod has great potential. Unfortunately it has some constant crash issues with Pimax Play resulting in game crashing to desk top. I have researched and tried numerous ways to comply with the online system crash advice, but nothing seems to work. Trying the old open XR and Pimax play start options initially start off fine, but then almost at the exact same spot taxiing from a cold start the sim crashes. It is very frustrating, especially considering the amount of time I have dedicated to learning this module. As far as my rig, I am operating a Cyber Power Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K, 3200 Mhz, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s), with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. So handling this module and DCS should be no problem. These crashes only happen with this MiG-29A module. Something is wrong with this module and Pimax Play. Anyone else having these issues?

Sydy Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Hi Guys (and ED), I would like to second OP and praise the MiG-29A Fulcrum module. The module is fun as hell and quite nice to operate and employ. I already made and published my usual “Quick Checklist” and even made a mini-campaign. To make it short, the module is awesome. Congratulations. All the best, Sydy 6

Far superior to the Phantom is every aspect except air to ground. It's comparable to the F-16A in many regards, not necessarily to contemporary heavy fighters like the F-15A. The US modules that we have are called generation 4+.

IMHO it beats the 16A version in almost everything except RWR maybe No. Maybe the first one, but with block 15 it could carry sparrows and amrams after ADF modifications and MLU upgrades later. But yes, MiG-29A was superior platform when compared to very first F-16A variants (without amrams). Edited 14 hours ago by Dača

Dragon1-1 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago No, Block 15 MLU did, and only in foreign service. The MLU package gave them avionics and cockpit similar to F-16C. Stock Block 15 was heaters only, it was the last F-16A. Sparrows were only on a single ANG variant (either Block 15 or 30, I'm not sure), no other Viper carried them. 1 hour ago, Pavlin_33 said: Didn't 16A have only fox 2? 29 has DL, fox 1, HMS, 2 engines... IMHO it beats the 16A version in almost everything except RWR maybe It's still the same generation, and very similar role, that of a lightweight, short range, low cost dogfighter. And you're forgetting one extremely important feature of the Viper: the FBW system. It had a better RWR, sure, but the big deal was its novel control system. It would have been a particularly good match for our MiG-29, at least if it survived to the merge. 3

Sabadin Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Back on topic then, is anybody else enjoying how much fun the MiG is to simply just fly? No mission, no targets, just just taking the jet into the sky and cutting loose. I think I spent almost a week just simply flying around in VR before I even looked at any of the combat systems in it. Flying this in VR during a sunrise rain storm in the Caucasus Mountains has probably been my single best VR experience to date on any platform. 2

Flying this in VR during a sunrise rain storm in the Caucasus Mountains has probably been my single best VR experience to date on any platform. The graphics are so beautiful, especially in VR (with the 3D HMD sign and helmet-mounted elements, visor). Although I've been playing mostly with the navigation for the past two weeks (it's simple, but you have to understand it) and I'm still having a lot of fun. I hope this model will open the door to Soviet aircraft for the ED and finally we will see more development on this site (the Su-24 is my favorite). What I'm missing is full radar support (and more explanation in the manual), as that's the model's Achilles' heel, in my opinion now. Other than that, really great work! 2 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 5090 32Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro

The navigation system is basically just copy and paste for anything Soviet of the era, Su-25, MiG-23, Su-17/24, Su-27 (except that one has a lot of extra function built on top of the same system). 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
