The RD-33-2C engine (i.e. the second series) is installed on the aircraft
, the developers took the available thrust from the book practical aerodynamics of the MiG-29 aircraft p.151, However, these graphs in the book are incorrect. So do not correspond to the description that the thrust-to-weight ratio at M = 0, H = 0, 1.14

According to the initial data, when recalculating thrust based on graphs of total pressure loss from Practical aerodynamics at the upper entrance, we get a thrust of 6495kgs, with an axial 7144kgs, or 14288 kgf, then we get a thrust-weight ratio of 1.1, which corresponds to the description from the PA. therefore, we need to revise the thrust of the MiGs-29 engine, there is also a jump-like increase in thrust when opening the axial entrance flaps

The graph of available thrust in the book Practical Aerodynamics is incorrect @iso_gate
The original source for the practical aerodynamics of the MiG-29 engine was the book “Turbojet dual-circuit engine with afterburner combustion chamber RD-33”
All I can say is that every source and their mother states that the RD-33 engines produces 81KN of thrust in After Burner. Currently in game we have 68KN There is a huge discrepancy in the Mig-29s performance.
To be honest, even if this was a cry. Its a valid one. Because you damn well know that if Gaijin doesn’t listen to these types of changes then they won’t listen to you when you best need them, Humble yourself _Pterodacty91855
