My first MiG sim The first I heard of the MiG-29 was in the sim - MiG-29 Fulcrum - Domark 1990. All the MiG sims Read about PC sims of the MiG-29 Fulcrum When MiGs collide: RAF Fairford 1989 Rob "Bomber" Henderson was at RAF Fairford in 1993 when 2 MiG-29's collided during an airshow. Read his dramatic account here : MiG-29 Fulcrum crash at RAF Fairford UK - 1993 Incredible free upgrade I finally downloaded the upgrade to Su-27 Flanker 2.0 - which then becomes Su-27 Flanker 2.5, and allows you to fly my favourite a/c - the MiG-29 ! Having just acquired my Thrustmaster H.O.T.A.S. Cougar it was time to get deeply into the flow and ebb of a fast jet sim again... so I started creating training missions for my force of one! When I get deeply into something I like to start at the shallow end - so these missions are dead easy! ... if you call flying a MiG or Sukhoi around in the fog, dropping bombs and landing safely easy .. First I check out the MiG-29K Airshow - AOA - Colours - HSI - HUD - MFD - Stick - Virtual cockpit - External views - MiG-29K stick ... then the Su-27 Flanker There were over 150 features improved and added in Su-27 Flanker 2.5 and I've illustrated quite a few of them for you : Naval Units Aerial refuelling Effects improved Teamwork New wingman commands Animated controls Jettison external fuel tanks Nav in GROUND attack mode Camo - Su-39 and Su-25 Neustrashimy frigate Ejection seats tweaked F-15, F-16, FA-18, A-10 folding of MiG-29K’s wings Encyclopedia Drag effects Setka mode carrier ops IR missile launch Carrier Mini-HUD Chaff and Flares HUD glow Su-30 Su-39 Frogfoot Links Developer : Flying Legends Publisher : Mindscape Read on - Su-27 Flanker 2.5 Flight Sim Toolkit in Computer Pilot " Flight Sim Toolkit gets another article in Computer Pilot - Computer Pilot Magazine - in issue 6 volume 3, this also marks a milestone after many months of asking for the release of the source code. Yes, the source code is available and I'm looking for developers able to bring this into the 21st century including porting it to other platforms.
