Get wrecked once again.
They are modelled correctly in the Mig-29 of WT. They operate on angle of attack. Same as the F-22.
Did that look like “very low speed” flight to you?
Just try to play the game & stop trying to trip up a man who you are not equipped to debate on these subjects. You are obsessed with trying to look for holes in my post.
It is only making you look more foolish.

They are called dual mode intakes. The Mig-29 is the first in the world. The top vents are called intake louvers. The louvers operation is dictated on angle of attack & airspeed. Does not matter if Mig-29M had them or not.
It’s a design that was copied by the Americans & implemented in the F-22 Raptor :)
This technology & others like it are critical in supermaneuverable capable fighters.
MiG-29 used additional intakes because on takeoff main intakes are closed.
That is one mode is DUAL MODE.
Please watch the video. They open in angles of attack in flight. They are modelled correctly in game.
Does the chin mount main intakes close in flight? Yes or No?
This dude actually showed a picture of the main intakes closed on the ground as if that is relevant to the louvers opening in flight while at angles of attack.
Btw guys they changed multipath from 100m to 50m, radar missiles (both fox1s and 3s) are more efficient rn and the bvr duels are more balanced and Russia isn’t that dominant anymore. I feel we are getting closer and closer to a rework on both su-27 and mig29 FMs.

Here is the Su-27SM’s intake louver operation in flight dictated exclusively by angle of attack.
They do not open in flight because of airspeed. The only operate under angle of attack. The engines ability to breathe at angles of attack is critical for supermaneuverable aircraft.
design
The Mig-29M & others have special perforations throughout the aircraft achieve mass airflow at all stages of operation. I am not privy to the newer designs. You will have to refer to those who do.
The MiG-29M 9.15 and MiG-29K 9.31 featured enlarged engine air intakes with movable lower lip to increase mass flow on take-off & in flight. MiG-29K has auxiliary intakes in mainwheel wells" taken from the MiG-29M. In the MiG-29M the walls of the mainwheel wells were perforated to admit additional air when the grids were raised.
The MiG-29 OVT (Airframe ‘156’ or 6th MiG-29M 9.15 prototype) are said to have these perforations as well.


The F-22s aren’t intakes lol
The in-game model can be wrong, that is okay… If you need I can link the MiG-29 manual again so you can read the purpose and use cases of the vents on that particular aircraft.
The vents shown on the Su-27s underside are for another use as well. The only one that is an auxiliary intake is on the MiG-29.

As you can see, these vents DO NOT intake air. They are overpressure relief ONLY. They are not copied from the MiG-29 or Su-27. This has been an essential part of airframe designs with or without variable intake ramps for some time. It is even seen on the MiG-23 or the J-8 series.

Please stop.
Ok the game modelled them wrong.
Please submit that report & so we can watch them throw it back in your face.
That is an image you found on google. It’s in reference to a completely different 5th gen.
Stop lying. That is not the F-22 Raptor.
Please just leave me alone.
They’re overpressure relief ducts and they cannot possibly intake air unless the aircraft is traveling backwards. The photo is of an F-22.
The Su-27s ‘intakes’ as you’re referring to them are not what you think they are either.

He showed the Su-57.
They are not the same for the Raptor.
You show a raptor intake louver. Are you still trying to be a little hater? You both cannot win. You are not equipped, boys.
So GJ modelled both the intake louvers wrong on the Su-27 & Mig-29?
They do not operate exclusively on angle of attack while in flight???
Yes or No?
Please submit the report for both. I want to watch them smack you both in the head with it.
Also please leave me alone & stop derailing.
I haven’t posted any Su-57 pictures.
They are operating, maybe they are correct or maybe they are not in regards to the animation… but their purpose is not what you say they are.
The grill seen on the bottom of the Su-27 intake is actually where excess air is diverted away from the intake when the FOD door is lifted up iirc
Any air intake from that location would be blocked from the engine.

No more talking. SUBMIT the report. I DARE YOU BOTH.
@ID_Heaven
The report for what? You posting erroneous information on the Internet daily?

You cannot make your mind what anything is. This is intentional to hide your lack of knowledge.
You do not know what any of this technology is for. You do not know what an intake louver is. Neither do you understand what auxiliary intakes do.
I am not talking about the main intake. Have a nice day :)
Please let us know when you submit the report to GJ that both the Su-27 & Mig-29 are incorrectly modelled.
Also, that he Su-27 must stall much sooner than it does in game, I cannot wait to see that report too :)
You pointed to the overpressure vents on the F-22 as intakes copied from MiG-29, this is obviously not the case.
You also pointed to the vents under the Su-27 intake… These aren’t auxiliary feeds… Once again you’re just making stuff up. No sense debating that further, though.
I’d have to dig into the manuals and see if the in-game model is scheduled wrong for then vents in question.
Please stop being overly emotional when presenting your arguments. If there is information that contradicts what you know or think you know, you should present that information. You have made quite a few inaccurate statements that make me question your depth of knowledge on this subject.

The single-seat MiG-29M did not have the “sheet”-metal FOD-doors in the main intakes and auxiliary intake-doors on top of the LERX’s as per version 9.12 (Fulcrum-A) and 9.13 (Fulcrum-C), but mesh FOD-screens in the main intakes, no auxiliary intakes on top of the LERX’s to generate enough airflow with FOD-screens down, the main gear well had perforations through which extra air could be ingested.
Get wrecked for the 12th time.
Name one.
