Description:

MiG-29A Fulcrum:

After around a year of on and off development, I present to you the MiG-29A ‘Fulcrum’. The Fulcrum is a relatively lightweight point defense fighter meant to deal with incoming airborne threats and return to base. As such it carries primarily air-to-air armaments and has somewhat short legs, with a max flight time for my recreation reaching around 10 minutes without WEP. I’ve done extensive work to make your experience flying this jet as smooth as possible, as I was extremely tired of seeing clunky workshop jets with little to no thought put into controls and abysmal handling that felt closer to a UFO than a fighter jet. You also shouldn’t need a college degree to start it up.

Wiki Blurb:

Originally posted by Wikipedia:

The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-29; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a twin-engine fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. Developed by the Mikoyan design bureau as an air superiority fighter during the 1970s, the MiG-29, along with the larger Sukhoi Su-27, was developed to counter new U.S. fighters such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The MiG-29 entered service with the Soviet Air Forces in 1982.

In-Game Performance:

Turn Rate: 12 G’s instantaneous, 9 G’s continuous.
Max Speed: ~180m/s without afterburner, 210 with. For extra speed, install jet exhausts (w/ is up to 240 m/s).
Fuel: 4600+ L before drop tanks.
Armaments: (2x) NNTC KONTOS, (4x) Type 1 Block II SAM/A2AM, Light Autocannon.
Radar: 15KM search-only radar.
Misc Flight Equipment: Roll dampening, Non-linear throttle for ground taxi, Steerable front gear.
Countermeasures: 14x Chaff, RWR.

Notes:

Fuel consumption is heavy, refrain from abusing afterburner.
Get some speed before pulling back on the stick before takeoff, the landing gear can sometimes start to buckle.
Startup is just a matter of flipping power / APU.
I’m aware the artificial horizon is backwards compared to the real thing, but the real thing gives me brain pain.
Mouse aim only works in first person. Normal WASD controls still work but now eyes left/right induces roll and eyes up/down induces pitch.
Gear has only been tested with medium and up physics quality. Expect bad times at low quality.
Make sure you have your master weapons arm switch on before attempting to fire.
I don’t recommend using the gun. It’s more there to say it’s there.
Blank buttons don’t do anything in cockpit, neither does throttle.
PLEASE SET MONITOR QUALITY TO HIGH IN SETTINGS.

Radar Usage:

The radar screen presents a top down view with the top being ~15km out and the bottom being directly infront of the user. Targets will slowly move towards you as you approach. Expect a bit of a spasm with an excessive number of targets present.
