    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Hadhart,

I hope you don't mind, but I applied the fix to the original upload, made a notation in the file package, and deleted the fix. The original upload now contains the revised files.
 
About Mach 2.8 at 65,000 feet is now possible but control is very touchy. I have no afterburners visible.
It's a good work, an FSX native, and such high speed and high altitude aircraft are uncommon.
I hope more work will be done to improve it.
 
Thank you, it's a very nice aircraft.

BTW can someone help to finish a MiG-31 (gmax) model as a flyable freeware?

Sorry for asking it here...
 
After a flight using AP set at alt 60,400 the Foxbat got over M2.1 but no faster unless in a dive. Pilot control and level flight at about 53,000 feet reached M2.8+ by my effort.

I stand corrected: my previous post was wrong.

The AP seems ok but the autothrottle_max_rpm=90.000 may be limiting speed???

Brakes can be set to a higher value of say 0.95, or use very long runways. I'll try different settings. The MiG-25 lands fast and is heavy even with low fuel and no payload.

Edit---another flight--
Mach 3 at 53,000 feet using the AP and a speed setting KIAS very high. I don;t know if a real Foxbat would fly so fast at that altitude, probably higher.
 
Great to see a new Foxbat ver available

If only it were armed.....empty pylons look....empty...;)

Added 'tweaks' I'd fiddled with for the Alphasim ver....can coax this one to mach3.2 [the speed they bend their engines at]....skin temp [if legitimate] would be mildly problematic though.

If the bump were a little more conservative....the canopy frame in 3D a little more 'lean' and some AtoA on the pylons I'd happily foot the bill for the mods...;)
 
A little more....

What I used on the AS ver...adjusted for this one.....;)

// AB effects...with 3 stage burner toggle.
light.6 = 3, -25.00, -2.70, -2.15, JAFO_MIG25AB_St0 // 20% throttle burner

wilycoyote4, try changing your autothrottle_max_rpm=90.000 to a rpm based on 10% less than the rpm in the engine setting, not sure if autothrottle_max_rpm=90.000 which is 90% of max RPM still works in FSX I found often on autopilot it reduced so much a aircraft would not fly, is FSX reading 90.000 as 90 rpm ??? changing to a bit less than the max engine rpm worked.

Yesterday I was in Karaganda Kazahstan and saw a whole wing of Mig 25's lined up on the ramp. All looking to be in a fair state of readiness, not one dead Russian parts bird visible on the field.

Hey - a pleasant surprise to see you comment on this subject! I've been curious about this model (another I've not been able to fully explore yet ...) - was wondering about the weirdness in the flight model, so I'll have to try this fix ...

Thanks - your tips have been a great help along the way ....

ps - It's raining MiGs, these days it seems ... Wife and kids are out tonight - think I'll make perogies for dinner and have a shot of vodka in toast to Mikhail and Artem's prodigous designs ...
