just accept that the mig-29 is overperforming in thrust and acceleration lol. these mental gymnastics wont change that
But its underperforming in game rn? it feels like a boat when its an agile light fighter.

yes its closed so it dosent suck dirt in. But you can test a jet engine outside the plane you know that.
And also it was designed for bad quality runways in the soviet era. And NATO does not feature runways made of dirt so far I’m concerned
so the 8300kgf came when the engine wasnt mounted in the mig
also known as bench thrust
you know what happens once you put any engine into an airframe?
it will lose thrust due to thrust efficency loss

theres no way you think the mig-29 is pulling anywhere close to its bench thrust when its intakes are closed like that
Let me clear it up. The documents on the MiG-29G is installed thrust at 8300kgf when its flying at sea level.
Yes ofcourse I don’t think the MiG-29 has insane thrust when the intakes are closed for the runway procedure.
And the bench test on the RD-33 is 9000kgf
And the installed thrust is 8300kgf
Sounds about right. And why did the even put the intakes on the bottom? Maybe so the engine actually gets the air it needs.

at what speed
source?
That is for rd-33MK
That might actually be correct
So if we calculate.
Ingame:
Dry: 3920kgf installed
AB: 6820Kgf Installed
Irl:
Lets say 8300Kgf on bench.
Installed value if the bench Is’nt 9000kgf:
Dry: 4600kgf
Installed: 7500kgf
And then we come to the realization that its still not 6820kgf.
Its still missing thrust never the less.
And 7500 x 2 is 15000kgf combined.
Correction: I can admit defeat on the 8300kgf inflight. Cause I most likely read it wrong. But then again still needs 1 tonne more in each engine respectfully.
And they still need to implement the other stuff on the modern ones sooner or later.

you cant just make numbers up

I am not making numbers up. The numbers I said earlier was for the RD-33MK which I confused the both with

see how it isnt even close to 8300kgf thrust even in that graph
i have also used that graph inaccurately before, it’s not representative of the mig-29 in flight

It should hit those numbers

Correct RD-33 thrust numbers (from this chart)
Per engine (RD-33, MiG-29 9.12A)
| Condition | Thrust |
Bench static, uninstalled. ~8,300–8,800 kgf
Installed, sea-level, static. ~8,000–8,200 kgf
