Deimos Mig29 Discussion Thread

Certainly not… You can barely roll it at low altitudes and high speeds. Try the f-16 or f-35 with fbw switched off.

@DeimoS987 there’s a big in all your aircraft when you hit the command to go full throttle plus AB the aircraft goes full, throttles back automatically by about 15% or so and then goes to full 100%. Ruins takeoffs!

By all means, stay under 3400 entire time with the f16(10th fastest/agile) and post the video evidence.

Do you think i just randomly make this up?

11th=F14 dcd
10th=F16
9th=F-4 Phantom
8th=F-18 dcd
7th=F-35
6th=Jas Gripen
5th=F-15
4th=Eurofighter cjs
3rd=F-22 Top Mach
2nd=SU-57
1st=Mig-29

I can also inform you, that in real life, the F-16 can fly a reported little over mach 2. In the simulator, the F-16 is one of the few aircraft that matches the reported real life top speed. I can tell you in real life, the Mig-29 is reported to fly faster than the F-16, with a reported top speed of 2.13 mach.

2.13 > 2.03, so therefor, in real life, the Mig-29 is faster than the F-16. Do you disagree with this? Why?
In the simulator, I can tell you I have tested the top speeds, including after the update, and I can confidently tell you, that the Mig-29 in the simulator, can also fly faster than the F-16, as it is supposed to. (2.09 compared to 2.03)

Here, you are encouraged to analyze this video to tell me where I could have gone faster:

It should be noted I fly all aircraft under the same parameters: lowest amount of fuel needed for that particular aircraft, first person only, hard settings(overstress on, crashes on), same altitude parameters for all aircraft throughout the course, and specific barrel rolls all done the same parts of the course.

My guess is, even if you fly in 3rd person, with easy mode on, you will not come close to matching what the Mig-29 did, but since you are the one disagreeing, and I have already provided my video evidence, I look forward to the evidence you will supply in your counter reply. I’m always open to learn something new.

Surprise as usual!
You’ll see soon!
Hope
To release it in october!

Great work on the comparisons, very entertaining!

How to switch out the Russian pilot Avatar?
I only see the default pilot

I’m facing the same issue when starting cold&dark.
The plane started engine 2 at first, then I couldn’t start the engine 1. I had to use CTRL+E in the end.

The MSFS 2020 livery pack does Not work on Xbox currently..

Yep sorry… the plane has received an update where many changes has been done… at the moment working to ipdate also the livery pack! Sorry for delay

Will the plane work for MSFS 2024 anytime soon?

Planes are more or less already working for msfs2024, bur, upgrades for mfsfs for all my llanes al already been se t to microaoft

I really like the 2024 update to this addon.

I didn’t fly it for the last 3 years because I didn’t like the FSX textures. The updated textures, especially in the cockpit, make me want to fly this addon now.

I also like the new flight model. It now handles like what I’ve read about the Mig-29. Constant trimming, namely. I wouldn’t know how realistic it is to real life handling characteristics, but the addon is more than just a digital gaming model now - or at least what I’m looking for in my addons.

Again, don’t know how realistic, but this addon still turns better than the SC Designs F-16 while maintaining and even gaining energy while at 6G - in game and in what seemed to me to be a tighter turning circle than the F-16 as well.

Roll rates seem to need some rudder assistance, similar to flying the P-38. This Mig addon is not going to be able to change directions like an F-16 , that’s for certain.

Fantastic addon now, and totally worth the purchase - albeit 3 years after I bought it. At least I enjoy flying it now :+1:.

Although, I think 99% of people that used this addon before think the exact opposite of what I just posted. :face_with_peeking_eye:

I have it shelved and I’m certainly not enthusiastic about needing to pay for an upgrade but maybe I will give it a shot considering your impressions. Cockpit textures and graphics were my biggest problem with this aircraft.

Be mindful however,

Although I enjoy it now, MSFS’s odd/clunky trimming functionality makes it harder to trim than it probably is in real life. Also, the autopilot doesn’t seem to function reliably - at least in 2024. Since I usually hand fly most of the time, these omissions don’t bother me too much.

At least to me, the updated cockpit textures for the 2024 version make it worth the upgrade price. The clarity of the exterior textures is a welcome bonus.

I’m trying the upgraded 2024 version, I can start the engines fine but I have no HUD no avionics, no displays at all. I tried the avionics switch in the right and nothing happens in both positions (up and down). Am I missing something?

Have has been already sent to Microsoft and will be released soon!

He patched the Mig-29 in MSFS2020 about a year ago and ruined it. It required weeks of trial and error to try and get the aircraft back to its former glory hacking the flight_model.cfg and engines.cfg. I paid for a craft then have to resort to nefarious means to fix something the developer gave two ■■■■■ about, broke, then ignored despite feedback.

Well sucks to be you, because I never bought another craft from you, and I never will.

I’m certainly not paying Deimos more money to fix the Mig for MSFS2024, which barely runs and will see a thousand patches changing flight dynamics in the next year or two.

Thank you.
The update fixed some of the avionics but the center console is still dark, at least in my case.

the cockpit is still a …. need another cockpit how to buy this with 2d cockpit ?!

I’m considering buying the various MSFS2024 upgrades for the Deimos aircraft that I had bought for MSFS2020.

How’s the current situation with the Mig29 ? What are the main issues with it ?

I have bought the MSFS2024 upgrade finally, happy to see that plane in my hangar again. I just did a quick startup on the parking, I don’t have time to test-fly it yet, maybe tonight.

The external 3D model is still as beautiful as before, but there are a few bugs with the pitot tube covers which keep flapping to the wind until you remove the engine covers. Until then, only the pitot cover main body disappears when you click on it, but the “flapping” (“remove before flight”) part remains there.

Also, there are no external fuel tanks ? I don’t remember how it was in MSFS2020 already… ah well.

From a cockpit point of view, I’m disappointed that the HUD is still the one of the SuperHornet. I wish Deimos would add a russian-style HUD to his russian planes. :confused: The cockpit itself is nice but not very interactive. The MFD is not clickable, many switches are not clickable, and many switch labels are missing, which is really a shame and greatly limits the potential of this addon. I could start the engines but I haven’t gone further yet.
