[h2]MiG-29A Fulcrum[/h2]
[h3]Pre-purchase[/h3]



The MiG-29A remains one of the most famous fighters in the world due to its outstanding performance characteristics, reliability, and simplicity of the weapons systems. It is capable of performing high-alpha manoeuvres that make it deadly in close air combat. In addition to the R-73 and HMS, the MiG-29A is also armed with medium-range radar-guided missiles, a 30mm cannon, and unguided bombs and rockets.

The Mikoyan MiG-29A has been operated by 39 air forces since its introduction in the 1980s, and approximately more than 100 are still in service.
Key Features:

Early Access features

• Fully interactive and highly detailed cockpit based on 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry.
  
• Highly detailed and accurately reproduced external model.
  
• Highly detailed pilot model with HMS.
  
• In-depth modelling of aircraft systems and equipment.
  
• Navigation System modes: POINT-TO-POINT mode for flying along a given route and flying to a programmed point; RETURN mode for performing a return to one of the three programmed airfields; LANDING mode for landing at both programmed and non-programmed airfields; and TRAFFIC RE-ENTRY mode for performing a re-approach to a programmed airfield in case of go around.
  
• Detailed model of the Gyro Systems with Fast and Long Alignment modes and onboard navigation equipment.
  
• The ability to program three airfields, three RSBN radio navigation beacons, and three navigation points during the mission creation phase and while flying the mission.
  
• Realistic modelling of the SPO-15LM “Beryoza” radar warning receiver and flare dispenser system.
  
• Fire Control Radar (FCR) with search and tracking modes for air targets that includes HEAD ON, PURSUIT, AUTOMAT, TWF and CLOSE COMBAT modes.
  
• Infrared Search and Track (IRST) and Laser Range Finder (LRF) with modes for air targets: INFRARED (IR), CLOSE COMBAT, HELMET, OPTICAL (OPT) and Boresight. LRF can be used to measure target range with automatic IRST tracking. LRF can also be used to measure slant range for ground attacks.
  
• Ground attack modes that include Pre-Designate OPT for use with moving targets and in windy conditions; Non-Pre designate OPT for use with stationary targets and in calm conditions; and TOSS when bombing is conducted with a 110-130 degree pitch angle.
  
• In order to expand the combat capabilities for a covert attack on an aerial target and counter electronic countermeasures, the interaction of the FCR and IRSTS/LRF has been modelled.
  
• The Kinematic Range Determination Method (KRDM) has been modelled for FCR and IRSTS/LRF. In the absence of target range data, this method provides precise range measurement.
  
• Basic Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) modelling.
  
• Early Access Guide.
  
• Interactive Training missions.
  
• Full Russian cockpit and localisation of avionics, cockpit and technical inscriptions in English.

[h2]Victory Day[/h2]
[h3]VE Day Celebration in Europe[/h3]



This week we recount the epic sight of Mustangs escorting bombers across the Rhine and P-47s at treetop level supporting ground forces. Allied combat aviation played a decisive role in hastening the peace in Europe. DCS warbirds such as the P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk IX, Mosquito FB IV, P‑47D Thunderbolt, Bf 109 K‑4, and Fw 190A and D battled each other in those final months to support their own forces and engage in the last, great dogfights over Europe. It is with great pride and honour that we are able to preserve them in DCS and in some way to relive this pivotal chapter in history.

In memory of the machines, and the men and women who designed, built, maintained, and flew them, please join us in remembrance. Take to the DCS skies, and reflect on the real crews who placed their lives on the line. Their legacy lives on in every virtual mission you fly.


[h2]DCS Campaigns[/h2]
[h3]Hotfix rollup update 2.9.15[/h3]



This week’s patch is dedicated to updating several single‑player campaigns. Four of Reflected Simulations’ most popular campaigns received updates: Fear the Bones and Speed & Angels now display Tomcatter87’s corrected tanker skins, and both F‑4E campaigns add an automatic “flaps‑down” safety trigger. Progressive wear‑and‑tear and typo clean‑ups in Red Flag 81‑2 was included, and the F-16C Arctic Thunder campaign has been tuned with blue‑side airfields throughout.

Baltic Dragon delivers quality‑of‑life fixes; Raven One: Dominant Fury sees its Knight I‑R prompt restored; The Enemy Within 3.0 AI‑helicopter landing logic and debrief music is fixed. The  Rampagers campaign received a comprehensive review of deck winds, scoring, tanker cues, subtitle timing, and livery accuracy across nine missions.

Badger633 has added a Data Transfer Cartridge notes to every Operation  Green  Line mission, and missions 1 to 7 and 9 to 13 in the Rise  of  the  Persian  Lion 2 campaign. Finally, SorelRo’s Hormuz  Freedom swaps in Heatblur’s new F‑4E for the IRIAF, refreshes voice‑overs, and improves AI trigger logic.

Please download the update to enjoy all these important changes. For a list of all changes, read the full changelog.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics

[h2]Operation Black Buck[/h2]
[h3]Charity Live Stream Event[/h3]



Founded in 2016, ESVH provides vital support for veterans of HM Forces and Blue Light Services across East Sussex, United Kingdom. Entirely volunteer-run, the hub offers weekly drop-ins, wellbeing sessions, addiction support, and assistance for those affected by PTSD or involvement with the criminal justice system. The organisation now seeks to expand its efforts through a bold new initiative – the transformation of a disused building into a recovery centre, complete with a café, offices, and flats to house and rehabilitate homeless veterans. For more details, please watch ESVH Op Black Buck.

To help raise funds for this next chapter, ESVH volunteers, including ex-military personnel and sim enthusiasts will be flying a hand-built simulator in a live stream charity event inspired by Operation Black Buck, the legendary RAF bombing mission of 1 May 1982.

The event will commence on the 3rd of May 2025, 18:00 GMT. UKppeters and the greater DCS Community will embark on a mission recreating the legendary Operation Black Buck, the daring long-range bombing raids carried out during the Falklands War.

All proceeds from this event go directly to supporting the wellbeing, community programs, and ongoing needs of veterans across East Sussex, UK. Thank you for standing with us, for remembering the past, and for helping build a stronger future for those who’ve served.

Your donation will directly support the refurbishment of ESVH’s new centre. This provides shelter, community and a recovery path for those who served and are now facing homelessness. Let’s fly for something greater. Join us. Support them. Learn more and donate during the livestream!

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Yours sincerely,

Eagle Dynamics
