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

If you use the IRST’s ACQ with the manual target selection on current live server, it doesn’t do the lock in the place/area you’ve slaved the ACQ area to. It also doesn’t display it properly in the third person view, often failing to show the selection box, similar to how you see the tall box when using ACM on radar.

I’m not home right now so I can’t showcase this, but all you really have to do is just turn off cycling target selection in settings and then attempt to get the ACQ lock with the manual radar controls.

I switched back to live so can’t test right now unfortunately. Maybe after next dev update i would. Also someone else who’s around might test it.

TVC and AESA are supposedly both available as export options, so they’re compatible and can be added technically (if we find enough info)

Yeah it was never installed just the mounts In the spine were covered over with blanking plates but the model in the data mine clearly isn’t updated, it wouldn’t make sense for it to get the same CM mounts like on the SMT and 9-12/13 since the mounts are deleted on the 9-15

Also any 9.41 derivatives doesn’t use dorsal spine mounted flares and its dorsal spine construction differs significantly when looking at it closely

Yeah, that’s why they were moved under the tail. I hope it’s just infinished parts of the model, like dorsal intakes, and will be removed. I much rather have 9.15 with planned 120 flares or even 9.41 ventral launchers than completely non-existant version with regular MiG-29 launchers.

man i hate that bug with a passion, it always locks some random area on the max gimbal limit instead of the area u have selected

I’ll try to write a report on it when I get home on sunday, if I’m not too tired. It really needs to be fixed. It would be nice to actually be able to use IRST properly even at longer ranges.

new dev patch:

29m got currently unused weaponpresets for 8x AAM and up to 4 big ordinance (kh29/r27e)
visually i don’t see changes yet (still placeholder 6 pylon model)

Hopium for MiG-29M🙏🏻


Another thing i noticed that the texture is probably already ready since its mismatched on current model (front wheel) so we’ll probably see 29M in this colors as skin

But the MiG-29M 9.15 should be equipped with the Zhuk-M PESA radar right?

Wait I also noticed amount of countermeasure is wrong.

Its suppose to have 120CM and hopefully L-150 RWR.

Engines are also wrong, 9.15 had RD-33K

Its pretty much C&P at this point.
