I just bought this MIG-29 and will test it out later...  OMG I sound Like Jcomm :lol:

 

it was also updated today

 

The new version 1.5 brings a lot of improvements:

 

+ Completely new cockpit graphics

+ Improved flight model for low speeds

+ Working "feel unit" angle of attack protection (can be switched off)

+ Pilots's breathing sound in the cockpit (can be switched off)

+ New flaps setup (no pitchup on lowering)

+ Cobra maneuver is flyable

+ Hideable stick

+ Forward view with HUD free without cockpit objects

+ New 3D animated brake chute (only xp10)

 

Furthermore:

Faster trim

● New CG position for better maneuverability

● New value for elevator, aileron, rudder and flap deflection.

● New tank layout and fuel distribution

● New engine values (SFC, power,,...) and jet curves for more realistic top speed (hi/low)

● Differential elevator roll (elevators help ailerons during roll commands, difference limited 

to 5° as in the real MiG)

● Landing gear damping, steering wheel corrections

● Corrections on the wings, elevators and vertical stabilizers

● Gear and flap speed protection activated

● New landing light cones (visible only in X-Plane 10 with HDR on)

● New autopilot constants (XP10)

...and a lot of little tweaks

Looks good ;-) !!!

Looks interesting. Frames in the video seem a bit jerky so that would be one concern.

 

Also it says you can do the Cobra so presumably thrust vectoring is modeled. Could you confirm if that's animated? (i.e. do the nozzles rotate?)

My review after 30 mins of flying is:   :shok:  :yahoo:   FPS on this little MIG is amazing, forget the video.  First time in xp10 I was 100feet above ground going 10000000000knots :lol:   A very positive purchase and now we can SHOOT other planes, it comes with F22 Combat missions and Aircraft Carrier Missions(haven't tried those yet, have to read the 100000page Manual first   I ended my flight by EJECTING, no joke...it's included.
