I didn't know MiG was working on a vectored-thrust Mig-29!!Does it use liftjets like the old Yak-38, or does it use the 4-poster nozzles like the Harrier?I am going to search the net for info on the Mig29 OVT now that you mention it...It may never see production though. The Yak-41/141 never did, and it too demonstrated at Farnborough in '92.Rhett

Rhett:http://youtube.com/results?search=ovt&sear...s&search=SearchOVT upgrade along with avionics and combat systems is scheduled for most active MiGs in Russian AF.Cheers=S.V.=

No this is vectored thrust, not VSTOL in any way shape or form. It's the same kind of vectoring as on the SU-37 and the F22. But talk about raw power.....

ok so Oshkosh started yesterday and not 1 single report back yet????

The MS Booth lost power early on, so not much to show with blank screens.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

The B1B sure did look good over my house yesterday. That's the only report I have so far other than it is difficult to sleep in this week. Too much airplane noise. :)

Now I know why we are having rolling blackouts. Its those darn Beta testers cranking it up and shutting down power all over the country!! LOL

Sorry, on Monday. I have not read anything from Tuesday yet!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Ahhh. VECTORED thrust. Big difference. I would find it hard to believe that the entire Russian AF Mig-29 fleet would be converted to VSTOL. That would be like the USAF making all their F-15's VSTOL--impractical. But vectored thrust, I can see that...Rhett

OVT = Variable Vectored Thrust. Not VSTOL.Cheers

Is there no FSX info from Oshkosh yet? :(

Just googled up:http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?Content...c0-6fcb146f7c1bNot much about FSX except it is "due on the shelves this October"...

This just in from Aero news.http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?Content...3ceab49dbe30d

Good find... but no new pics :( I can't believe nobody has posted any new pics or movies yet. :(
