    Mig 29 Fulcrum Flight Model Fix - Image 1

    Description

    This is a near complete rebuild of the flight model for the DeimosInc Mig 29 Fulcrum.

    Based on limited real world data and the models physical characterisics, this mod fixes several major issues with the Mig 29 that the developer is either unable or unwilling to do. The most glaring and extreme issues are resolved. The fixes include, but are not limited too; A complete geometry rewrite, surface recalculations, MOI corrections, COG corrections, fuel tank placement correction, flight controls re-write, HUD scaling, aerodynamics recalculations, new CFD data and stall characteristics data.

    The end result is an aircraft that actually flies and feels like an aircraft, rather than the broken guess work of the devs. It is by no means perfect, I am no expert, I have limited data to work from and there are still issues present. However it is vastly more accurate and superior to the default version, and should provide other Fulcrum owners a much improved aircraft that is now "in the ball park" of a MiG-29.

    I hope you have as much fun flying the MiG now as I do.

    Instalation;

    Unzip or Unrar the download.

    Drag and drop the enclosed files in to your Fulcrum install location.

    Example;

    deimosinc-aircraft-fulcrum\SimObjects\Airplanes\fulcrum

     

    *NOTE* This mod does not work with MS store versions as the files are encrypted


    1.2 Update

    Removed engine smoke effect for improved frame rates on lower spec machines
    Removed mach "cloud" effect obscuring vision during transitions
    Re-tuned afterburner effect level to match throttle setting of 95%
    Replaced some custom effects with Asobo default 
    Further geometry improvements for rudders
    Further adjustments to the flight systems
    Re-tuned aerodynamics & control surfaces
    Adjusted stall characteristics ( TAKE CARE! Cobras Are Dangerous!)

    Added Bonus - Official Mig-29 Flight manual courtesy of the Luftwaffe.


    1.1 Update

    Fixed HUD scaling
    Re-tuned wheels and suspension
    Retuned fuel burn rates (needs verification)
    Added new internal wing tanks (No change in total fuel)
    Re-tuned mach drag after mach 1 (should now be easier to maintain higher machs)
    Re-tuned Afterburner to 95% throttle ( gives more throttle range )
    Engine tweaks
    Handling tweaks
    Geometery tweaks

     

    Potential Future Updates;

    Hello sir!


    First off, thank you very much for looking into improving the Mig-29. The past few years I have learned a lot about this aircraft and really value it more now that I know more.


    I could immediately "feel" improvement when flying the aircraft with your modification. In particular departure, as well as pitching up and pitching down. "Feels" much more realistic.


    You might want to wait for his next update(may not need to be fixed), but with the original flight model I can reach mach 2.04. It should reach 2.25, and I advised him of this and hopefully next update by the developer makes it accurate, however with your flight model mod, I am only able to get it to mach 1.95.


    If you could keep the improvements you made regarding departure and pitching up/down, but make the top speed reach 2.25 mach, I think it would make this aircraft much more realistic.


    I know top mach is more verifiable, and don't feel bad b/c both models are too slow, and I cannot verify "feel", but I am sure you agree and appreciate when I say the "feel" with your mod makes it more realistic/immersive.


    I would currently rank it a 4/5 stars, however I will hold off on ranking your mod b/c if you update it again and it can reach 2.25 mach, then I would rather rank it 5/5 stars.


    Thanks again!


    PS-if I can rank 4 stars now and rank 5 stars after an update, I will but I am unsure. If you can clarify I can, then I will give it 4 stars now.

    May be the request is a bit stretching, will it be possible to add the missiles as his aircrafts are all in the marketplace only.....

    would it be possible to change the fuel burn rate? ive noticed in afterburner its unrealistic by a factor of about 10x too low

    This might be just me but I've downloaded this update from 2 separate PCs today and both rar files are reporting as broken?

    Im sure this fix was needed as all his aircraft are pretty bad.

    Well yeah, this thing didnt have it wings in the right place. they were 10 foot forward of the actual location. And his current "griffin" has the canards at the back of the plane. Someone really needs to give him a wake up call.

    over 3 years ago

    where can i get this plane if not in the marketplace? I'd love to have a version with something to put on those pylons

    over 3 years ago

    Good evening, could you tell me where to get this aircraft? I want to use this mod. What is meant by "store" version? I use Steam.

    You say it does not work for the ms store version.

    However the aircraft is only available on the marketplace.

    So you made this for the cracked version of the aircraft?

    over 3 years ago

    Thank you! Will try it out soon, the standard model flies like a brick. That's a really nice livery shown in the pictures, is it available somewhere?

    The skin is from the livery pack on the MS store for the aircraft.

    Excellent job with this is it possible to add a belly tank because they do rock them

    Probably. Not sure how to actually show it visually, but can add one technically. Not got that far in the SDK yet :p
