Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

the other guy was talking about a meme, not a real thing, what is wrong with u and why are u still here?
you are clearly not here to help with anything related to the mig29, your main goal seems to be to argue with others and insult.

Make your own bug reports related to the equipment you want, with your sources and move on with your life, you don’t depend on @MiG_23M to do all this, just stop coming to this thread and commenting useless things

Is anybody else having a problem with not being able to fire the R27s? The R27ER will simply not lock anything no matter how good of a radar lock it will be, the green circle will just pop up and disappear without locking on to fire. It’s basically made it so I genuinely cannot use the radar missiles whatsoever, also having trouble with firing the air to air missiles in general, I have to press the ‘fire air to air missile’ button multiple times before it will actually fire, even if I have a solid lock. Never had this problem with any other aircraft

here its pretty obvious hes saying that an increase of weight would require more lift (adjust pitch angle) so negative AoA wont be a thing in level headed flight

ok g, i dont care if you think it is right or not, just do your own bug report better than they are trying to do (if you can), with your sources and move on with your life, stop wasting ppls time with your childish behavior here.

I know that’s what he is saying. But his assertion that drag would be less isn’t well founded, and he has thus far being able to prove it. A lighter aircraft flying at the same speed with negative AoA would have slightly more parasitic drag, but also less induced drag (the whole point of the negative AoA is to produce less lift - less lift = less induced drag). If he can find me a single example that proves him correct I will happily eat humble pie, but I’m not liking his chances.

well its pretty straight forward plane is least draggy when its nose is at 0 degree position compared to say negative 3 degree position

if you feel thats otherwise thats cool and you can believe what you want but I fail to see how any of this has to do with correcting the MiG-29s underperformance

Sorry I thought this was a place for mig29 performance dissection, not an echo-chamber.
Like I a few comments showed above, mig23m regularly comes into western vehicle threads and fills them up with rubbish, so you can learn to tolerate contrary opinions in your threads too.

Good job on not reading a single other part of what I said.

According to @Giovanex05 the top speed should decrease as the plane burns fuel. It currently doesn’t. Is that relevant enough for you Draco?

I was under the impression the primary discussion at the moment is turnrate?

i will repeat one more time, just do your own damn bug reports if you think you can do better and move on with your life.

No one is stopping you from commenting anything, especially if it’s useful for the mig29 whether it’s good or bad things, but useless things like insults are just ridiculous and completely childish and that’s something you’re constantly doing, if someone isn’t agreeing with what you’re saying, again, do your own bug report and move on with your life.

ok thats cool and all but just curious what was the discussion before you came, happening after you came, and the current discussion we’ve been trying to had

and then tell me when this top speed discussion happened and explain why it suddenly became relevant again? Because as far as I can see you rather attack people instead of making arguments that im not even sure what argument youve been trying to make because all your posts have been wildly off topic

it doesnt take a rocket science to see gaijan say “flight model is accurate from our testing” then see they added 300kg of weight and come to the conclusion the flight model is no longer accurate and needs to be reconfigured accordingly. And from my own testing Ive come to the same conclusion and so have others. So once again I fail to see uh what your primary claim here is beyond coming here and making a ruckus because you appear to really dislike a specific forum user. Its just counter productive plain and simple

anyways if you have anything to say related to turnrate go ahead, if not I dont see any further reason to both with you any longer

Oh please no Draco, don’t hurt me so!

Have you actually tested the SMT turn rate since it was buffed today? Because everyone I’ve heard using it says it is an energy retention monster now.

yes I have actually tested it, and its the exact same as it has always been in air rb. And from the changes I datamined there was nothing in the code changed that would affect that. In sim its a bit nicer at low speed with more controllability at higher angles of attack which is nice but its still a boat.

He’s been derailing the thread and claiming there was nothing wrong with the MiG-29 FM since the beginning of the thread, to which I proved him definitively wrong multiple times. From this discourse he claims I have a elementary level education in physics and that I don’t understand what I’m talking about. If that was the case, he could easily have proved otherwise or made his own report to counter what I was saying.

Instead, the devs went ahead and fixed the FM per every report I’ve made on the MiG-29 and likewise say they will fix the F-16 too. What I’m doing is having a positive effect on the game as a whole and holding all countries aircraft to the same standard when it comes to modeling errors within the FM or their missiles.

In regards to the mass having anything to do with speed… they latched onto that specific comment when they were the ones claiming that the weight of the R-27ER was what should prevent it from going mach 5 when the AIM-54 (a MUCH MUCH bigger and heavier missile) with a SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful (but longer burning) motor has a higher top speed… the logic isn’t even reasonably sound. How could something significantly more powerful and smaller, less draggy have a lower top speed than the AIM-54? Especially when both have >1000 m/s deltaV?

As I said, he’s been trying to derail the thread for 800+ comments. He’s been warned enough.

You have just proven what he said.

thats not related to energy retention thats for stability at high AoA (basically you ever notice how in some planes in sim when you pull the stick (or push the mouse) really hard they start to roll and you cannot control the aircraft?)

AoA you cannot (and it will not let you) pull in Air RB unless you’re actively TRYING to spin at stall speeds.

yeah it makes no difference in air rb, especially with instructor
