Hi
First I want to thank you all for up-voting my creations and allow me to get SILVER!!!!!
Ya'll are awesome.
So... this is an improved version of my original MiG-29 instant cobra.
In the original version I just can't figuring out how to do cobra pass 90 degrees without glitching out my funky-tree. So I just play on the safe side by not push that limit and do hovering cobra instead.
I know that my plane can handle proper cobra if fly correctly.
After more digging into code and a discovery of debugging console, it opens my eyes.
So I create this to do proper cobra this time and do it the old fashion way, no thrust vectoring, no gimmicks, just aerodynamic. And to celebrate silver rank :p
What the different you may ask?
.
.
.
Yes.
Whats New:
-Slightly improved maneuverability.
-Proper cobra maneuver as performed by MiG. Yes MiG 29 can do cobra.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCE0AO3vIt0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2VUqvg570Y)
-Secondary air intake.
-New silver paint job.
Features:
-Instant cobra maneuvers!!!!
-fly-by-funky-tree system
-Carrier operational
Controls:
-AG1: Flaps. (This is useful at low IAS, don't use this while doing cobra.)
-AG2: Tail hook.
-AG3: Instant cobra maneuvers!!!!
-AG4: Parachute.
-AG5: Drop fuel tank.(I recommend dropping it before performing a cobra. It's heavy and made the stunt less impressive.)
-AG8: Toggle fly-by-funky-tree system(It's on by default, not for the faint of heart :P)
-trim to trim
Lets me explain a bit.
First get some speed above 600 km/h IAS and activate AG3.
When AG3 is activated the plane will slow down and fly level by itself, when IAS is around 500km/h it will pull a Cobra!!!
And then when the plane nose is dropping, deactivate AG3, no need to be precise just don't forget it lol.
Holding the flare button to pop a s*it tons of flares for added impressiveness!!!
ENJOY!!!
Ps. Try turn on and off AG8 while pulling up to get dangerously high aoa. But don't pull too long or you will stall.

Didn't knew Wizard man made a sexy MiG-29 lol.
@GuyFolk
Cobra
Just press 2 for Cobra Maneuver and press again to end it. I think you will like and find it one sexy Cobra.
@sheepsblood
It's not pull up instantly by any mean lol.
How it intend to do cobra is get up to speed and activate AG3 and then let go of the control, the plane should pull cobra by itself, after that the nose should drop to resume flight, only after that you deactivate AG3.
If you have done differently than mine please tell me exactly how you do it so I'll figure out what's wrong.
@GuyFolk tried what you said. Doesn't work as I picture being "instant". It's weird. It starts to slow and then you press AG3 to turn it off and thats when the nose up and tail slide occurs
I did something similar but used air brakes to nearly stop it full halt. It would nose up and slide the tail beautifully. But, it chanced rolling backwards and to the side. Never wanted to post it because I couldn't ever perfect it the way I wanted. I want it to be a dramatic flip with minimal elevation gain.
@GuyFolk I'll try what you said. I was up to 700+ km/h
@sheepsblood
Well.. How fast are you going when you AG3 because it only work within certain speed range, it slow down to 500 km/h then pull up hard and stop pulling around 400 km/h.
If it pull up to 90 degrees or more and comes down to level it's an original cobra when thrust vectoring is not a thing yet.
This build goal is to do original cobra not hovering cobra like my pass build.
Feel free to ask me if you got any question.
AG3 Doesn't work for Cobra maneuver. Only slows down, pitch rocks up and down a bit and I see the speed brake activated. That's about it.
nice
