WOW!

[Ironhand]

It took a week to download the update and get the MiG installed but I finally have it. All I can say is "Wow!" Just had time to take her up for a quick circuit around Senaki. The takeoff handling is extremely smooth. And it's handling on landing was even better. With a bit less than the 60% fuel I took off at and 2 AAMs on the wings, she touched down at 260 km/hr, just as she should. Wonderful. Now I just need to find the time to learn this machine.

Hi Ironhand, great to hear you are enjoying the Fulcrum. Thank you for the kind words.

@Ironhand I fully agree with you! 

What ED has created with the MIG-29A Fulcrum is simply put amazing!

The 3D laser scanned and photogrammetry cockpit is absolutely brilliant in VR, the sounds from the engines is bloody fantastic (best in DCS without any doubt), easily the most fun flight model (the MIG even beats the old king of the throne: Mirage-2000), a radar that is actually realistic, even the wheel tyres has deformation modeled,very good PC performence even on maps like Cold War Germany I could go on forever .

"Approved by Ironhand!"

Get some bucks for that staple! Quite an experience to witness this kind of progress in flightsim fidelity, isn't it?

 

On the ground handling. Can we get a confirmation that the 29 actually uses the new tire and strut / suspension modeling framework, please?

It's pretty great! Once they fix some of the annoyances, this is one of their best releases.

I may grab the F-15C MSIP after all. Definitely when they get around to the FF Su-27S.

I can only agree to that.

I really like it too. It is very detailed and realistic modelled with some minor issues for an EA release. The Artwork of the cockpit and the plane is amazing. The flight model feels very good and realistic from what Fulcrum pilots in videos told about the aircraft. Great work ! I hope that ED will do a full fidelity Flanker with the same amount of detail. That would be fantastic for the future

The Mig-29 is a really well-made module. I also really like how well it's designed. What bothers me the most are the autopilot oscillations. It's such a basic thing. Until it's fixed, I won't fly the Mig anymore. For me, it's something that unfortunately ruined my enjoyment of the new module.

It is enjoying to me for some strange reason. Makes me feel I am really in air. But it is not realistic and will be fixed soon.

The Fulcrum has to be one of the best modules in DCS for something at this point in EA. It's *really* good out of the box.

With FFB and in VR, the oscillations are very intrusive.
But yes overall I agree this is easily their best release since the F-18.

I loved it but SPO not working with radar really dampened my enthusiasm. I want to enjoy the great SPO-15 they made. 
 

Coop mode has brought some of my enthusiasm back.

Yeah... My configuration is 2D and without FFB. So I am comfy

Imagine how the real MiG-29A pilots felt.
