AFS MIG 29 release

Are those default fs9 gauges ??

Think I'll just stick with my Iris Mig-29 for now, no need to get another.
 
This Migs pit looks like a chinese made toy. Im sticken with my Iris and my Eduardo Fadul freeware one. It also broke rule #2 for mig purchase for me no Cuba.
 
Just bought it for FS2004 !

Very mixed feelings :
Compared to the Iris product here is a quick walk around

Pros
Realistic 2D Cockpit
Realistic VC Cockpit
Some photo real general look

Cons
Only one underwing option : Air to Air with six Aphid missiles
Non realistic Formation flying with 3 aircraft
Non realistic Codings on all repaints
Germany Luftwaffe type Helmet
( non realistic for other air forces the Luftwaffe being the
only user of this helmet )
Overscale pilot ( around 120 % )

General Impression :
I lost 25 $. But only 25 $.

The best would be to Iris to update its Mig-29 with
the 2D and VC cockpit of AFS.

But its only a dream.
 
No doubt that a free demo will appear on the major downloadsites soon, so we can all see for ourselves. If you search on Avsim for the authors name (Meyer) you will find a very long list of demo's for his other products.
 
jep, IRIS has the best one !!! I think this will be another piece of expansive "trash". Remember the AFS F-4.:amen: I love my Cloud9 Phantom. The best one ever made :ernae:
 
After having to issue threats before the guy would send an unlock code for his Typhoon, I've never bought anything of his ever since. To be honest I consider his work to be very basic by comparison to the likes of A2A, Lionheart, Cloud9 and RealAir etc. If you want a Typhoon, I'd go for the Alphasim version, and stick with IRIS for the MiG-29.
 
Um........ A 500 Knot airspeed indicator???......... Um........:kilroy:

In early FS9 time, the demo was his ploy for getting his products into the freeware mainstream under the guise of being "freeware". Only problem was he would stick those stupid banners out on a wing or plastered across the 2D panel and then charge you $5.00US to remove each banner, so in the end, if you were goofy enough to follow his trail of breadcrumbs you'd end up paying about $20. for his "freeware" aircraft.
I had a lot of issues with his tactics and everytime I saw one of his files pop up on a download site I'd e-mail the owner, explain what he was doing and requesting he be banned. In most cases he was. He didn't care for my tactics either, lol.
He may be a pretty good designer (that's debatable), but he continues to produce less than payware quality work and he hasn't dropped those banners either.

That's the routine! I paid up for the Typhoon via Paypal, and he never sent the file to remove all the banners. In the end I threatened to use Paypal's buyer protection scheme to get my money back, only then did he finally forward the file I paid for. :mad:

Looking at the reviews on Sim market etc, he's still not producing top notch payware products, and frankly I think Meyer is a menace to the FS world.
 
At this pointm the Iris model is tops.l It flies well and it's cockpit is not horrible by any means. The exterior detail and animations are very good for this era of FS9 releases. The Afterburner effects are top notch as well as the engine sound. Yago has a great repaint for it that is now the only one I fly in the model. AFS has failed to impress me. I hate knocking anyones hard work but in this case I make an exception and say I won't be buying the products!
