FSX Polish Air Force Mikoyan MiG-29

This freeware release offers a meticulously crafted Polish Air Force Mikoyan MiG-29, codenamed “Fulcrum,” for simulation enthusiasts. It brings together extensive aircraft modeling, authentic flight characteristics, and several detailed repaints created by AFS-design and A. Meyer. Perfect for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (with SP1, SP2, or the Acceleration Pack) and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, this add-on presents a faithful representation of a third-generation jet fighter designed primarily for air-superiority missions.

High-Fidelity Polish Fulcrum Experience

The MiG-29’s legacy as one of the most notable Soviet-era combat aircraft is evident in this simulation, which carefully depicts the Polish Air Force’s iconic livery. Originating from the Mikoyan design bureau in the 1970s, the real aircraft was engineered to tackle modern Western fighters such as the F-15 Eagle. Here, users can immerse themselves in a virtual reconstruction that conveys the MiG-29’s characteristic agility and supersonic performance.

Complete Support for Multiple Simulator Platforms

This demo package, which includes banners, functions seamlessly in both Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Thanks to the developers’ attention to detail, sim pilots can enjoy the challenge of taking a storied interceptor into the upper reaches of simulated skies in either platform.
