DCS World DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum adds the MiG-29A fighter to DCS World. The aircraft can perform high-alpha manoeuvres for close air combat and carries R-73 and HMS equipment, medium-range radar-guided missiles, a 30mm cannon, unguided bombs and rockets. Introduced in the 1980s, the MiG-29A has been operated by 39 air forces, with approximately 600 still in service.

Aircraft systems

The aircraft has a fully interactive cockpit based on 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry, an accurately reproduced external model and a detailed pilot model with HMS. Its systems and equipment include the SPO-15LM “Beryoza” radar warning receiver and flare dispenser, as well as detailed gyro systems with Fast and Long Alignment modes and onboard navigation equipment.

The navigation system provides four modes:

• Point-to-point: fly along a given route or to a programmed point.
• Return: return to one of three programmed airfields.
• Landing: land at a programmed or non-programmed airfield.
• Traffic re-entry: re-approach a programmed airfield after a go-around.

During mission creation or flight, you can program three airfields, three RSBN radio navigation beacons and three navigation points.

Targeting and weapons

The fire control radar (FCR) searches for and tracks air targets using HEAD ON, PURSUIT, AUTOMAT, TWF and CLOSE COMBAT modes. The infrared search and track system (IRST) and laser range finder (LRF) provide INFRARED (IR), CLOSE COMBAT, HELMET, OPTICAL (OPT) and Boresight modes for air targets. The LRF can measure target range with automatic IRST tracking and measure slant range for ground attacks.

Ground attack modes include Pre-Designate OPT for moving targets and windy conditions, Non-Pre designate OPT for stationary targets and calm conditions, and TOSS bombing with a pitch angle of 110–130 degrees. FCR and IRST/LRF interaction is modelled to support covert attacks on aerial targets and counter electronic countermeasures. The Kinematic Range Determination Method (KRDM) provides precise range measurement for the FCR and IRST/LRF when target range data is unavailable. The aircraft also has basic Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) modelling.

Training and documentation

The module includes interactive training missions and an in-development guide. The cockpit is in Russian, with avionics, cockpit and technical inscriptions localized in English.

Planned additions

The final release is set to add a Ground Control Intercept (GCI) command system, full IFF modelling, a full flight manual, an Eagle Dynamics campaign, and more missions and liveries.
