With altitude-dependent priority, separate elevation channels, and mode-aware warnings, the SPO-15LM will demand the same mastery its real-world crews required.

The ‘Bent Wing Bird’, as she was affectionately named, was built for long range air-to-air and air-to-ground attack operations and packed a serious punch with rockets, bombs and machine guns. It mainly flew over the expanse of the Pacific theater from land bases, but also operated from Essex-class aircraft carriers. Take a look at the&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/SDO1FRrXHQU">launch video here</a>. This is a classic not to miss.

A study-level, 4th generation Russian fighter has long been sought after by DCS pilots, and our MiG-29A is being developed to the highest degree of authenticity with external and cockpit models, systems, flight model, weapons, and sensors replicated to what we believe will set a high standard for DCS. </p> <p> The MiG-29A excels as an interceptor and particularly as a within-visual-range fighter. The aircraft benefits from exceptional flight performance, and the combination of the “Archer” R-73 high off-boresight air-to-air missile with its helmet-mounted sight (HMS) makes it hard to beat in a knife fight. </p> We are delighted to bring this amazing aircraft to DCS. Please check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzMu2UGm3G4">Pre-Order Trailer</a>. Enjoy!
