Mig 29 thrust and turn rate seems very low compared to what manuals state

I was reading through the GAF mig 29 manual and a mig29S manual I found and both state higher values for thrust and turn rate.

here is the first source:

I don’t know why but they put the values in kp which i’m guessing is kilopond’s which doesn’t even add up but anyways.

This one your going to have to make an account and know Russian which I do not

also for this one make an account, but this one is allot clearer cause the data can be translated. i would recommend the inbuilt google lens if your on computer.

5384todo is the same as 5383 but its the photographed version not the online text version.

and the last one is the Bosnian mig 29 manual.

no dont worry you can use google lens if your right click it will ask for search with google lens which lets you translate specific parts.

you’ll have to use the avialogs one because it has more pages on aircraft turn performance

alright, I was looking through and they’re is a problem with the game in general, it does not limit aircraft operational load on any aircraft, so all values are incorrect. thats why the f16a can pull 16g and the mig 29 can pull 14g even though they are both operationally limited to 9g

15

the game doesnt go by operation limit but by how hard it can turn without a limit, if it says anything about being able to pull harder in those docs report it here: Community Bug Reporting System

I gave the graph values to chatgpt, and also the drag coefficient and this is the maximum theoretical turn rate on this airframe.

17

so it ought to do 16G? bug report it and make sure to have the relevant pages and front cover of the document in the report
