MiG-29 Fulcrum
Fausto Romeo's Review
Cockpit

Yaw control and rudder deflection angles definitely deserves a paragraph for itself, since in the simulation it turns out to be extremely responsive, and easily allows for sliding manoeuvres to be performed with the aircraft rotating around the wingtip.

Quite surprisingly, additional yaw motion cannot be generated by applying differential power to the engines, so that even if you held only one of the two RD-33s into afterburner, there would not be any noticeable deflection of the MiG's flight path in either direction.

Although this probably simplifies life when one of the two engines fails or is taken out,it is nevertheless a bit unfortunate, since it would have been interesting to use this feature during low speed manoeuvers and as some kind of 'differential thrust' movement during BVR engagements.

With proper application of rudder and stick, you can virtually "slide" around a wingtip.
