Mig 29M has 2 large MFDs in the cockpit, I doubt that we will ever see a full fidelity Mig 29M, but It would be really nice if there was a 'Flaming Cliffs 4' module that included some 'lower fidelity' modern red jets.
i have a similar opinion, for me some aircraft that are really hard to make FF or will take ages to be made, a FC4 could be done. Like a WW2 style Japanese Low Fidelity Aircraft or as you said, Red team style (MIG-29M, SU-7, SU-35, J-15). Even some of those can be achieved by FC (like J-15) it would be still. Very insteresting and a brake from a lot of long time to learn aircraft. In general i like flying whatever i want to do for my random scenarios and i got the F/A-18. But its very hard to learn so i end up not using it us much as a SU-33.
I've always liked the Mig-29 better than the Sukhoi's. Really enjoyed this video! Idea for a future vid: would love to see you do ground attack in the Su-25. I've only ever seen you use it in dogfights and think it'd be interesting to see you use it in its intended role. Thanks for all the amazing content!
He actually has an old video video using the Su-25T attacking some enemy land base, and he even managed to shot fown an F-4. But it was a long time ago, it certainly is time for him to ride that bird again.
I'm really loving this string of new content in the last few months, being more mission based with lots of different variables rather than 1v1 dogfights, however I think some era correct Fox 1 engagements would be nice to see on your channel. I think it would be very interesting to see what tactics you have up your sleeve and how different these fights can go with something like an AIM-7 vs R-27 kind of fight
Actually it looks more like a modified MiG-29S, the MiG-29M has a different wing, different tailplanes with dogteeth, different, more sharp LERXes and 8 hardpoints, it also has no air intakes on the upper part of the fuselage
It’s always nice to see more MiG-29 missions. It’s nostalgic- I used to spend hours flying the 1997 Novalogic sim so videos like this are fun to watch! Keep up the good work GS.
Well, this was fun and entertaining, thank you GS. Fun fact: you can go to Russia and fly the Mig-29 with a professional pilot, they even take you to the stratosphere and it costs around USD 8,000.

Again, you make it look so simple. I'm going to learn to fly the Mig-29 next (my first red jet). Awesome mission and video. Keep'em rolling. Live is life.
This is an unusually good video, even by your standards GS. It's always fun to see more complex scenarios like this, plus you introduced me to a new DCS mod. Thanks, and here's hoping you make more videos like this!
the ambient music creates real dark war mood... sometimes when I create mission I listen Kammarheit... especially this one: Kammarheit - The Morning Tower 😾
The MiG-29M seems to have that odd quality of high-order weapons that look incomplete until they are seen in use. That thing's a real gangsta aircraft.
Watching the smoke in your rear view mirror was cool. Just to see what maneuvers you were making. Also in the beginning, did the Viper wingman jettison 2 bombs with his 3 tanks on purpose? Jw.
You could say that. The latest SU-27 upgrade (The SU-27SM3) turns it basically into a SU-35-Lite. From massive increases in engine power to getting the SU-35 sensors (Irbis PESA radar, OLS-35 (IRST) etc.).
After having flown Red for a while, I was amazed by how self sufficient US aircraft were, they don't really need AWACS or GCI as badly as the Russians do (the MiGs especially are basically reliant on it), and the RWR is a dream. That said though, the built in IRST is a treat with Red jets, and can be a powerful tool if you're hiding in terrain or somehow survive BVR and get within 10km or so of American AMRAAM slingers
Ashen, the fourth and final horse is; upon it rides Death. An interesting fight, well played in light of the damage to your S-300 backup. The Mig-29 was always a beauty and lethal in capable hands. Not sure if I like the physical mods of the -29M but I'll take punch over pretty any day. Gorgeous backdrop, did you ever get told to go play outside? Ever imagine your yard would look anything like this? Another fine presentation.
I know they can't do it, yet but I would still like to see a Fulcrum-A vs. An F-8 Crusader. I remember the first time I got to see an actual MiG-29. It was a static display at the Evergreen Aerospace Museum. The same one that has the Hughes H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose).
I believe thats the Mig-35, this is still the mig-29 just upgraded engines and avionics, think more like su-27 (which has different variants) but then the su-35 is the next Version the Mig-35 is the new Mig-29 but the Mig-29 has upgraded variants but none are as good as the Mig-35 overall.
Out of curiosity what settings are you running graphics wise mate? I am having some major issues with screen tearing and very jagged edges even since the hot fix. Running an i910850k and an aorus Xtreme rtx 3080 but no matter what I try I can't seem to improve it, whereas your videos as always look crispy!
Question. How did you get the top few on the mission screen? Is that part of a mod? Also I have issues moving the game it will not let me fly said added planes like the su 35s any recommendations?
Did the F-16s actually take out the S-300? Also supposedly the Zhuk-M can track a target 90 degrees, so it can notch/track a target at the same time but idk if that’s true or not
Very cool video. So I don't usually do mods but I had to try the MiG29m. I installed as per instructions and it launches ok. But I can not taxi. The rudder spins the plane uncontrollably. You do not really show taxiing on your video. Are you having issue with the rudder controls? And the pedals do not move in the sim.
Can we actually just get an actual mig29 mod or module. Any modern Russian jet will do. When is the su35 mod going to release??? I’m not complaining, just expressing the questions many people think about, we just want more redfor aircraft

Day 132 of asking for A-10 vs F-14
"Should have a cleaner burn"
Rearview mirror is full of grass clippings
Thanks! I saw that too, but "grass clippings" made me chuckle.
Imagine a full fidelity MiG-29 module. We all can dream... 😂
That would be nice. Preferably some M variants in addition to basic 9.13 MiGs. Data link, fly by wire and MFDs in cockpit would be great
Eagle dynamics are doing the full fidelity mig29, it was announced about four months ago
Waiting for 29SMT
And something from ThrustMaster to feel match the look
I dont play dcs what does full fidelity mean?
Mig 29M has 2 large MFDs in the cockpit, I doubt that we will ever see a full fidelity Mig 29M, but It would be really nice if there was a 'Flaming Cliffs 4' module that included some 'lower fidelity' modern red jets.

I think the Flanker airframe is actually more cleaned out that the Fulcrum's. Except maybe for MiG-29A, which is almost as beautiful as the Su-27
I think he prefers the A-10C more than the Su-25.

Really liked the landing and takeoff again. Appreciate the longer videos, shows you gotta get up there and grind
good lord! that f-16 flight leader got clobbered by that semitruck of a missile!

i could watch these Mig29 vids all day! Keep up, the Modernised Mig29 is a really interesting bird for you to fly for content!
Best dcs youtuber my favorite continue like that !
Thanks for another awesome video GS! I really appreciate you and the effort you put in to deliver videos regularly!
I love see you flying this bird, hope you post more videos about this aircraft capabilities in different situations.
Oh man! I've been waiting for you to run the MiG-29M/MiG-35. If we're lucky we can get a fully modeled cockpit one of these days.
It's always cool to see the Eielson AFB F16 aggressors ingame!
I thought the real MiG-29M had two Multi-Function Displays in the cockpit too....
Sure, the multi-purpose version equipped with a completely new airframe.
2 X MFD(CRT)

Thank you very much, sorry for the late reply on this one, I some how didn't see it.
Always liked the way the R77 looks with its grid fins. Looks like some transmission towers flying around
it looks a lot like SpaceX super heavy rocket launcher grid fans used to land it
Is there a tactical benefit to the grid fins?
@@Stinger522weight savings
I think it would be interesting to see an assault by navy aircraft, since we could see some Growlers with their jamming gear working it’s magic
A complex and creative scenario. Well done
Awesome vid GS! Laughed when you said it would burn cleaner as the middle mirror on the canopy bow was showing two trails of thick black smoke. 😄😄
I really love MiG-29 ! I find it more beautiful than F15 and F16 !
It is a graceful looking jet.
the ambient music creates real dark war mood... sometimes when I create mission I listen Kammarheit... especially this one: Kammarheit - The Morning Tower 😾
I played a sim of both these aircraft on a donated Gateway PC in the early to mid 90's. That's what got me into computer gaming.

Awesome video. I really like the MIG-29! 😀
Amazing video! Thanks for your work I really love every single video from you!
The name of the radar is Zhuk (жук) russian for bug/beetle
Probably the coolest Mig29 vid you’ve made! Great work
At 16:10 "...I think we are all clear!"
*flight of 2 F22s enters the chat unnoticed*
Watching the smoke in your rear view mirror was cool. Just to see what maneuvers you were making.
Also in the beginning, did the Viper wingman jettison 2 bombs with his 3 tanks on purpose? Jw.
I think those were pylons for his HARMS that came off with his tanks
@@GrowlingSidewinder Ah 👍🏼
0:35 - "...shouldn't have as much smoke."
MEANWHILE IN THE UPPER REAR VIEW: Expelling gaseous Taco Bell demons.
updated mig-29 is kinda sick. Did they also do this to the su-27? cause that would be really nice.
You could say that. The latest SU-27 upgrade (The SU-27SM3) turns it basically into a SU-35-Lite. From massive increases in engine power to getting the SU-35 sensors (Irbis PESA radar, OLS-35 (IRST) etc.).
That looked troublingly easy 😮
Went to pick my HOTAS up today but everywhere was sold out. Ordered it on Amazon, be here Sunday then I can finally start flying!
There is something about MIG29 that airplane is one of those beautiful things. Gerat fight by you GS again thanks

Judging by your center mirror, your black smoke exhaust is still very present.
lol ya I heard it was some sort of bug, the outside is clear the mirrors kept showing the smoke.
Mig 29 is such a beautiful aircraft
Pretty sure I just failed a test, nice to see a GS video after I finished.
Love the Mig-29
Ashen, the fourth and final horse is; upon it rides Death. An interesting fight, well played in light of the damage to your S-300 backup. The Mig-29 was always a beauty and lethal in capable hands.

those s300 were really impressive
I mean, they would never stand together like that and of course got short range anti air defense on top, especially those which defend an air field.
0:35 "shouldn't have as much smoke"
1:22 Ohh, well...
That’s some nasty looking smoke in your rear view mirror my friend. I’d get that checked out.
I know they can't do it, yet but I would still like to see a Fulcrum-A vs. An F-8 Crusader. I remember the first time I got to see an actual MiG-29. It was a static display at the Evergreen Aerospace Museum. The same one that has the Hughes H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose).
Imagine a MIG-29 with GE or Pratt & Whitney engines!
"Should burn a lot cleaner, not as much smoke". Literally black clouds in the mirrors lol.
That IS cleaner lol.
I thought that the M version had 4 pylons under each wing not 3. So it means there were more verson of the mig-29m?

@@GrowlingSidewinder Ahh I see thanks!
@@GrowlingSidewinder first was mig29m with 8 pylons.
You mentioned the updated engines with less smoke. On the external shots you can't see it but in the cockpit mirror you can... funny.
Zhuk are spelled closer to J, kinda like jukebox but a bit harder, not that soft. Oh, and it means Beetle.
At 4:27 the F-16 is dropping three tanks, but what are those to small things?
Pylons for HARMs I belive
Agreed... looked like it dropped ordinance with its tanks...
Nice the 29 gettin so action
LOve the vid, but at 6:27 does the chem trails look weird in the mirrors?

Did the F-16s actually take out the S-300? Also supposedly the Zhuk-M can track a target 90 degrees, so it can notch/track a target at the same time but idk if that’s true or not
Looks like hit its engagement radars. Enough to take it out of the fight even if not all of it was actually destroyed.
4:26 he jettison some missiles too. he follows your lead on this malpractice... 😉🤣
Loool nah he dropped pylons not missiles

You do not really show taxiing on your video. Are you having issue with the rudder controls? And the pedals do not move in the sim.
Whats the big difference between a mig 29 and a su27?
So whoever created the update removed the smoke from the external shots, but left it in the mirror from the first person view.
Could you do SU-5 7 vs I-16?
45 years of MiG-29 in 2022 and 50 years of F-16 in 2024.
What are those fly swatters on the R-77?
Fulcrum, huh? Reminds me of Champ
Theres no way to launch those in TWS is there? I think the Russian TWS is just soft lock until in missile range and then auto converts to STT?
How do you setup such amazing weather?
Looks like DCS hasn't got the FAB-500s yet.
Based Mig
Cool mission. How'd you get the 2 different load outs, use 2 missions back-to-back?
You can rearm and refuel when u land at a base
@@GrowlingSidewinder you can change the loadout though? I've done the re-arm and refuel, but always had the same loadout.
yes you can change the loadouts.
@@GrowlingSidewinder damn, thanks! I gotta try that! Never occurred to me that I could change the load out on that screen.

I agree, we do need More Russian aircraft and Chinese
Modules are highly unlikely as actual crafts are classified and devs don't want to be charged with espionage
Does this have the bigger internal fuel tank and higher weight?
the real one had, it was also larger than the usual MiG-29 and had 8 suspension points rather than 6
We want to see Rafael vs. F-35 BVR fight.
Looks like you are flying on the bottom of the ocean at the begging of the vid lol
Does dcs simulate turbulence? Could you ever wreck your plane from flying through too big a storm?
it's NOW the time for ED to step up with full fiedality Mikoyan SMT... N O W 😐.
Now I want to see a coal burning competition between a Mig29 and a F-4 😂
Battlefield 4 vibe at the end

Where did you get the mod for the MiG 29M?
Mission accomplished.
Seemed like a suicide mission to me😆😆
The mig 29 is still damn sexxy!
Love the Migs! Is the Mig-23 flyable in DCS? Would love to see you dogfight it against the f14 in a swept wing showdown situation.
