SOH-CM-2024

Description from the video.

The main feature of add-ons from GKS is an incredibly high level of elaboration of the visual model, attention to the smallest details and the implementation of aircraft systems, which allows you to feel the maximum degree of realism in MSFS2020 flights In this addon you will be pleased with the following features: -Cockpit systems and instruments are made with maximum realism: - All basic operations are based on and follow the original MiG-25 Pilot's Manual. -Full-featured autopilot with 4 unique flight and navigation modes. - The radio navigation equipment simulates the real avionics of the MiG-25 and allows you to fly in any weather conditions.
 
Release location doesn't matter. I'll still stick the release for any halfway decent plane by today's standards.
 
WOW! Has not been a MiG-25 since the old Alphasim model and obviously time and development tech with this model is at a whole new level. How exciting!
 
Well, release matters in that, if it's coming via marketplace, I'd like reassurance there will be a separate weapons pack. No mention of store other than a drop tank in what looked like the applicable part of the video.

(Ugh, watching the video and the AI voice makes me want to tear what's left of my hair out.)

The Foxbat is an iconic aircraft of my childhood/early puberty (when I wasn't yet chasing girls). I remember when Viktor Belenko defected and landed his bird in Japan. Aaahh, the good old cold war, those were the days!

But I'll wait, Like DennyA. I want those huge missiles under the wings!

@DennyA: maybe you'll find some consolation in me not having any hair left! ;)

The GKS Mig-21Bis appeared on Simmarket with weapon loadout options, so perhaps the Mig-25 will too, eventually.

But if the plane only appears on Marketplace, and there's no weapons pack mod, then I hope the developer will at least provide some way to remove
the useless empty weapon racks under the wings. If I'm going to fly a weaponless jet fighter, then I prefer to do it completely clean.

Yes it has a weapons pack with drop tanks which will be released at their site for drop-in into the community folder (it is mentioned in the video).

I had thought of Viktor Belenko when I saw this video. I had not realized that Mr. Belenko passed away 1 year and a day ago here in the States.
 
Just got it too.

Comes with the weapons module and change to panel to English

Can't wait to come back home tonight to give it a spin !!

Do you mean the weapon module is directly included in the addon ? I thought it was not released yet ?

I haven't picked up yet (waiting for the government GST cheque next week), but to quote "STK" from the thread over at AVsim:

"The existing F-111 weapons patch on the Aviasim website will also enable weapons for the Foxbat when installed. An updated weapons patch as well as flight manual is due next week (but they have a very in-depth tutorial video on youtube, as well as built-in interactive checklist). "

There's also a thread with responses from the developer over on the MSFS forums:

In Development - MiG-25 Foxbat by Aviasim/GKS

This was highlighted in the recent Tu-95 thread which expanded to a general Russian/Soviet aircraft for MSFS thread (as they do), but I wanted to call out this development specifically as I think it’s coming sooner than many expected. The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat by Aviasim/Golden Key...
