MiG-29M Fulcrum Arma Reforger Mod

MiG-29M "Fulcrum" — a supersonic fighter with a custom 6-DOF flight model written from scratch as a ScriptComponent applying forces directly to the RigidBody. No helicopter hacks, no engine vehicle-simulation framework. No dependencies. Recommended: raise view distance and network view distance on servers — at jet speeds the default streaming range makes aircraft pop in and out, and breaks target locks at long range. FLIGHT MODEL - Angle of attack and sideslip driven aerodynamics, stall with tail blanking, FBW-style alpha limiter, transonic drag rise, ground effect. - Thrust asymmetry when one engine is out — strongest at low speed and full throttle, exactly where it hurts. - Custom wheel braking and parking behaviour on the ground. CONTROLS W / S pitch down / up A / D roll left / right Q / E rudder (also steers the nosewheel on the ground) Left Shift throttle up Left Ctrl throttle down Space brake Hold Left Alt mouse acts as a joystick (released, the mouse is free look) Hold MMB acquire target, release on the lock tone 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 rocket pods / gun / R-73 missiles / guided bombs Fire standard vehicle fire control MFD cockpit buttons only — no extra keybinds GETTING AIRBORNE Start the engine, throttle up with Left Shift, keep straight with Q / E, and ease back on S to rotate. Everything else is yours to find out. ARMAMENT - GSh-30-1 cannon, 1200 rounds/min, 2500-round belt. - Unguided rocket pods, alternating fire between stations. - R-73 air-to-air missile with an infrared seeker and a proximity fuze. - Guided bomb against ground targets: lock a point on the ground, release, and the bomb steers its fall onto it. Weapon groups are selected with keys 1-4. The HUD shows the seeker cone, lock status, range to target and a release cue for bombs. REARMING AND REPAIR - Loadout is changed in game at a support station: walk up to the fuselage, open "Loadout" and swap what hangs on each pair of stations. Damage, fuel and the other stations' ammunition survive a swap, and the HUD rebuilds itself. - Every detachable surface has its own repair action, named after the part. A surface shot off can be re-installed, then tightened up with the wrench. - Airframe, engines, fuel tanks and avionics are repaired separately, so you walk around the aircraft instead of pressing one button. AVIONICS - HUD: heading tape, horizon line with pitch ladder, world-anchored waterline, CCIP for the gun with a projected beaten zone, and a launch-authorisation cue computed from the missile's own envelope. - Two MFDs: left is the seeker camera (zoom, brightness, target slaving), right is a systems page. All controls are cockpit buttons. ENGINE EFFECTS Nozzle glow, afterburner flame and an air trail, driven by engine RPM rather than throttle position. DAMAGE - Six detachable control surfaces (stabilators, fins, ailerons). Losing them degrades handling in distinct ways. - Sustained hits set the aircraft on fire, and a burning aircraft knocks out its own systems at random — engines, battery, control surfaces. It degrades before it dies. - Engines, fuel tanks, battery and control surfaces take damage on their own terms, and a round that passes through a wing does far less than a direct hit on the fuselage. MULTIPLAYER Movement, weapons and target lock replicate. Tested on a dedicated server. ALSO INCLUDED MAF-I "Skylark" — a 10-ton transonic attack jet on the same flight model, built earlier and kept in the package. Rocket pods and a gun, no guided missiles. Singleplayer only. KNOWN ISSUES - R-73 missiles do little damage unless they hit directly. - Kill attribution can be missing for some weapons, so the kill log may not always show who made a lethal strike. - Wreck model is inherited from the base vehicle and looks wrong. - Pylons stay hanging in the air after the aircraft is destroyed. - A target lock can drop when the target passes beyond the server's network view distance; a missile in flight then goes ballistic. - ...and other minor issues that should not affect functionality.
