😅 On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la... After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red And after three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la... After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la...

The Mig-29 is a gorgeous jet. All jets are marvels of engineering, but Gen-5 jets give up some aesthetics for stealth, imo, but some of the most beautiful jets of all time are the Gen-3 and 4 jets.

When you see just how easily an engagement can go either way: a slip up here, an extra few seconds there, you have to respect the guys who are doing this for real.

Your episodes are half tactics and half cinematography. Great job man.

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks

[@blofal]

That’s the problem with the Mig29 especially in multiplayer. I love it so much but the radar and lack of datalink means your situational awareness is just so much inferior to many other aircraft. If it had at least datalink then it would be lethal.

[@glovemaker2]

MIG29M2 have the datalink screen + Optimize fuel consumption management. I think its not going to be difficult task for modders to add it to one of Core Modules .

Out of all the planes, MiG-29 is my favorite. It can get nose on in ways you wouldnt think with a trained pilot.

[@martinlagrange8821]

I bought Sinai this weekend - and it is an absolute bargain in terms of just how excellent it is....hugely satisfying. And put in some good flight hours in the FC3 MiG-29 as well, its an awesome fighter.

[@klaw2749]

I appreciate you posting a video even when things don't go your way in the missions/battles. DCS is HARD. I was flying the Jeff the other day and got shot down by a Tomcat because I was tunnel visioned on a less threatening MiG-23. Why? Because my brain: "Har har, I make MiG-23 go boom with SD-10."

[@SledgeFox]

Every second of this was amazing, thank you very much!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@antoniohagopian213]

The only problem with the mig29 is the lack of hardpoints, mig35 is the epitome of the mig29, it has 2 more hardpoints and even more thrust because why not.

[@keepwalking6041]

actually the mi29M2 version is very good, aesa radar, 4 hardpoints on each wing, using lightweight alloys and composite materials making it lighter and less radar reflective..but most of major issues get resolved by SMT, which is conversion of normal mig29 to SMT version with fuel hump, better radar-no aesa though.. it makes it very cheap to get mig29 with much bigger range and duration and better employment of weapons-laser, guided, etc..

[@GatorAaron]

Nice suspenseful cut to black.

[@lois87]

Nice video.. Im kind of new to DCS but I can fly my F-18 (very little practice though, mostly theory and solo training). Im considering starting to learn the Mig-29 because its is a beautiful jet.. F-18 has a lot of guide content, but I havent found much for the 29.. Any recommendations?

[@Kudabear1]

[@aceblaneescabusa5371]

Amazing combat with some cinematographic theme on it. I was wondering if you can ever make a BVR and dogfight scenes in that same jet, but against a Felon. Differentiating both jets with similar rates of turns and tech, I once thought that the MiG-29 can possibly counter the Su-57 after merging. I suggest you to do this again, LS, but against a 5th Gen Fighter. Thanks!

[@mrleglove3377]

1:28 seconds in. Already love it. Mig 29/ Soviet Aircraft Love

[@-Zevin-]

Soviet aircraft are so underrated. Of course through the cold war especially in America everything is always "we have the best X in the world!" lots of hype and lots of tearing down our adversaries capabilities because that's just the nature of propaganda and warfare, and of course anything Soviet was always the enemy who dies in any media, movie or video game. It created a really false impression of their capabilities being vastly inferior when it really didn't reflect reality. The Soviets had some amazing military tech in their days.

[@Peterax788]

We need a MiG-29 movie man, this is just amazing presentation! Can you do a couple of A-A and A-G missions with the Mirage-2000?

[@LongShotChannel]

I have a MiG29 short movie

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

What we really need is a MiG-29XL. Stretched and with the cranked wing, that might increase the range to adequate.

[@denanwt]

thats what the su 27 is

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

@@denanwt It's an overall larger aircraft, not just a stretched, low induced drag -29. For starters, it relies on a whole lot more engine than the -29.

[@antoniohagopian213]

The range is fine, the lack of hardpoints is the issue here. You can put 2 more tanks on the wings it will have more fuel and range then a f16. The newer versions of the mig29 have 2 morw pylons on the wings to solve this issue. So you're mig29xl is literally a mig35 or mig29m

How does it not jettisoning the fuel tank reflect on the MiG-29 as a aircraft? DCS doesn't model random malfunctions, that's probably just a keybind issue in the video game...

I don’t think this is a jet issue. I think this is a longshot, not knowing his key binds issue.

He either pressed the wrong key or he was in the wrong position. The tank doesn't detach unless you are flying straight to prevent it from hitting the engines.

The Russian planes are only held back by investments into them compared to the American planes.
