Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

I would not make these numbers up. I look this up and dig in internet archive. There is alot of stuff to read. Might mess up once or twice. But I wouldnt stand here and bring it up if it wasnt true.

For example DCS using all released documents ETC and information on a Aircraft available. THE MIG-29 In DCS features for example. 8000-8300KGF Totaling around 16000kgf in flight. Giving it power for combat which the mig29 in war thunder seems to struggle with.

wdym it is not MiG-29 in-flight? Book says “It is calculated for standard atmospheric conditions, with standard intake loss taken into the account with incomplete gas expansion in the nozzle”

DCS is not a source

you quite literally have a graph here from the mig29 manual

But dcs uses real scources. Its a portal

like their very real sources that make the F-18 the best rate fighter in the game and that makes the Mirage 2000 the second best rate fighter in the game

both being better than the F-16

Not talking about the flight models talking about the engine sir

you are missing the point:

DCS IS NOT A SOURCE

Never said it was. Said it was a portal

because it doesnt take into account the blow in doors of the mig-29, it cannot achieve those numbers at static when its main intakes are shut

then get the sources Eagle Dynamics used

the very sources they had to sign a NDA for

But they can be opened? Which I tried saying earlier as well. That in a place without causing engine damage for example. On NATO grounds for example where the MiG-29G was? In a hangar maybe? Somewhere they got these numbers from. Idk man

Maybe in the air?

Ok, but those intakes are shut only on the ground during take-off. If you are in the air at this speed - you should have more thrust than on take off, no?

you could still use the graph just ignore the bit until the doors open so from 0-200kph

yeah. i shouldve clarified only the very lower parts of that graph is (technically) wrong - the upper portions are likely fine

Yes I know that they open up on speed but that still does not mean that they can’t test the engine

The red line which is the real thrust pushes beyond 8000kgf

The green (In game) does not

you have shown that you have no clue what you are actually talking about or how to read that graph

Unfortunately this is where MiG-29 might require it more isn’t it? Low speed maneuvers

Is this a battle about your ego or the MiG? Respectfully.
