DCS MIG-29A Release Period | Development Report | G91R INFO | Heatblur Update

[@goutchgoutch]

Thanks! Thanks for continuing with your awesome newsletters in 2025. Best wishes from Switzerland

[@hipgames]

Thank you for your support 🙏 I really appreciate it!

[@sol2wit904]

It certainly brings some slither of hope to see the MIG-29A release period, shining light on this module has brought me on my toes!

[@Swanny.31]

Thanks again for another great update! I love your channel and your positive approach! Keep up the great work!

[@rscuatc1]

Thanks for the development report/update Andrei, nicely done. Happy holidays to you and your crew 🙂 Looking forward to more of your videos in 2025...

[@johanverhoeven3661]

I hope ED will still release a last update this year with some goodies for all our nice folks.

ME too... me too :)

Hi Andre, thank you for the great content, HIP becomes one of the best newsletter for DCS. I also believe that your videos being followed by the ED guys that’s why I wanted to share some of my wishes here; Although Viper in DCS is one of the best modules, I still think it's half-baked. If you could provide updates on the sniper pod, other AIM-120 variants, LANTIRN, and the improvements in low-resolution texture areas, I'm sure the community would be very happy. After all, Viper is one of the best-selling and most-used modules.

[@madaxe606]

I hate to say it, but quadrupling time estimates is generally best practice when it comes to DCS products. Q2 2025 is 4-8 months, which likely means 1-2 yrs.

[@lawrencepickering1564]

Merry Christmas Andrei and team!

[@kkpriest5880]

Still nothing about “save game” for campaigns 😬

[@ivaniuk123]

If you're not good enough to beat the mission without dying... then you're probably me because I usually die two or three times on average 😂

[@kkpriest5880]

@@ivaniuk123 I die quite a lot 😄 but it’s not even that. I love when the sim crashes at the end of the mission and then you have to repeat everything knowing what is going to happen 🥸

I'm very excited for the Mig-29 though i do wonder, will we have an iron fisted ground controller to go along with it??

[@prichardgs]

You are not authorized to launch comrade!

[@serinusgranainobolborhynch868]

Feliz Navidad Andrei!!

[@mikeck4609]

We’ve been hearing about the A-7 for 4 years. I wish Heatblur, ED or some other 3rd party who actually wants to develope it would take over

[@bigrivercod]

Thanks for your entertaining and informative newsletters across the year. Hope you have a great Xmas and New Years :)

[@Hammy_on_twitch]

Consider me excited! Great video my friend

[@I___Jackal___I]

ED should seriously consider adding the Mig29A M. The mod that just released shows how its done and the base with the A model will be there.

[@prichardgs]

The Mig 29 is a much needed addition!

[@TheHitbear]

Petrovic! Do we get to say it again? Gib Phantom!!!!

[@old_guard2431]

Going to keep flashing Sabre Dog, going to have to produce at some point. We need those 20 mm cannons.

[@pauldehart744]

I am waiting for the A-1 Skyraider. Still hoping it is coming out soon.

[@hook86]

Expect years if it ever comes out

[@mikequigleyorruneoform7096]

You’ll be more likely to get it in IL-2 Korea as a premium plane.

[@Patrick-nw4xq]

I have a feeling i'll be playing exclusivly mig-29 for a bit when it releases

[@fossmarkluni]

Full fidelity MIG-29A is a dream for me, instant purchase guranteed 😍

[@dimitriapostola3119]

Disappointed we didn’t get the mig-29 this year but it’ll be a major advancement for multiplayer especially

[@TonerLow]

Q2 2025 means they will be announcing it will be delayed until Q3 2025, and releasing it Q1 2026

[@jonlucaslastra1637]

Q1 2026 half-baked.

[@thelespauldude3283]

They announced it over a year ago bro

[@heikojakob6491]

Jeez, why a A model and not the K ? Would be much versatile fun to have a additional naval fighter.

[@madaxe606]

Lack of documentation on systems, and probably a no-go from the Russian government to boot.

[@alexandrebelinge8996]

Did they say early access in Q2 or "release" which can also be a pre-order ?

[@hipgames]

Early Access, no doupt!

[@jonlucaslastra1637]

Remember guys: never purchase a module until it is fully functional.

[@DVoidOfSpareUsername]

Na. Been buying ea dcs modules for something like 10 years now. It's cool to try them out early. You just have to accept ea for what it is and always has been or if you can't handle it then wait

[@Dracomarine]

Can any modules even be bought? (I agree fwiw)

[@jonlucaslastra1637]

@@Dracomarine well, or never rent and unfinished module ;)

[@Hockey-su7bd]

When will the Eurofighter be available as a full fidelity model? Greetings and Merry Christmas

[@vimfuego8827]

Two weeks

[@pju28]

Will be an upgrade possibility to the Fulcrum or must it be paid the MIG-29A complete as a new aircraft?

[@vimfuego8827]

I can answer that with the new Fulcrum will be a completely new module with the usual price tag, it won't be an update to the existing Mig29s.

[@439sparky1]

How can you possibly expect to pay an upgrade fee for a completely new module? The FC3 MiG-29 and the FF MiG-29A have nothing in common, it was created from scratch like the F-15E

[@vimfuego8827]

@@439sparky1 If you are referring to the Razbam F15E, the model was made by ED and a Contractor made adjustments only. If you meant the F-5, correct.

I’m not interested in the new platforms. We need new ground ai and major updates to the ground units. Also the editor and mission replays need new ideas and new updates.

[@gopnikcrew4229]

R.I.P to all these Modules…

[@ivaniuk123]

I hope they aren't dead

[@Willykurtz]

Agree. After Razbam case, a lot of third party faded. Something wrong with ED.

[@hipgames]

This is how rumors are spread. From our connections to most 3rd party devs, there is no such thing as a dead announced module. Razbam has their case now with ED in private, and the other devs are chucking on with development. You must be new to DCS or any flight sim, full fidelity modules take many years to develop, thats the reason behind the long wait, not lies and fake rumors spread by attention seekers and people who have an agenda against the only current combat flight sim on the market. Its sad, I hate the long wait too, but enjoy what we have until so far

[@Willykurtz]

@@hipgames Long waiting is not a problem. Most of us knows about it. Silence is a problem. For example Deka with their F-8 keep silence more than TWO or even THREE years. We doesn't care if they communicate with narrow circle of KZbinrs. They must not forget about whole community.
