Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

no, it was mostly service life increase

There was a topic about the engines with charts from other books, and channel loss might not actually be this high

if you increase thrust the mig wont match the sustained turnrate charts anymore

Do either of you have a source for this? Some guy keeps saying they modified the compressor so it should have more thrust. :p

then that guy should provide a source for the changed thrust numbers

also the east german migs had the rd33-2

what’s the difference in those?

its the series 2

there is no difference in thrust

This is something that can be fixed as well, no?

then you have more drag or less lift

Or more compression at high speed. I am too busy with my job right now to think about MiG-29 flight model, but I kinda want to nerd a bit once I get some free time

did someone know how open web map?

Acceleration, its a bit too high at low alt but way too low at high alt.

no
0.85 * 8300 = 7055 not 6800

6820/8300 = 0.82
this rtds cant even just read numbers
but this is not thе peak of absurdity
when you take off your pressure recover coeff is higher up to 0.91-0.915 (0.9 in game)
but in game you still have 6800kgf of thrust at 0 speed even in air
example :

Spoiler

7750 * 2 - 7235 * 2 = 1000kg is missing

its alr not match at speeds < 400 and > 800 kmh

for example there must be 9g at 460kn = 851kmh

Spoiler

Spoiler

as you can see even with slighty deceleration it is only 8.5-8.6g
this is higher then f15a/f16a/f18c/e overperforms

mig acceleration will be correct if you have like 10% of fuel
and with 10% fuel mass you will have 92% fuel irl acceleration
so it underperform very hard

man if there only were sustained turn rate charts for the mig29

oh wait there is

and the mig-29 in WT matches it almost perfectly

it dosent it overperforms at around Mach 0.9

image

its not

it is 13000kg weight and full afterburner
image

image

wrong 13 tons in the mig-29 is with ~60% fuel


image

so in your test you are using too much fuel and then crying that the mig-29 underperforms in STR

Spoiler

you are probably if you cant even check if you have the correct weight

current acceleration time is for other engine mode

this accel time is for 14000 mass in other engine mode

my fuel mass is correct

it litterally says 13000 kg and full afterburner there
image

and all mig29 charts either use 13000kg or an unspecified fuel weight

and even the chart you used says 13000kg directly above it

literally every thing needed is given to replicate all are at 13000kg with afterburner (atleast the german ones), dont know what the issue is here

a certain someone cannot see that it says 13000kg there instead of 14000kg

and at 13000kg the STR charts match almost perfectly

this graph is for other engine temperature mode

typing your insults in another language doesnt make them any less insulting, also what other “engine temperature mode” is there, its stated as full afterburner, also refrain from spamming Spoilers, also i just noticed one of you is talking about the 9-12A while the other one is using 29SMT (if i understand this convo)
