Instant Cobra Maneuver MiG-29

99.7k GuyFolk  3.8 years ago

Hi

Recently I was watching videos about Russian fighters doing cobra maneuvers, the video is a little bit old and that make me wondering.
.
.
.
There are no thrust vectoring back then, what does it take to do the cobra?
Aerodynamic of course!!!
After some research I found out that the plane must have some static stability at high AOA.
And suddenly MiG-29 comes in mind.
So... MiG-29?.... Instant Cobra?..... F*ck it, i'll make anyone able to do a cobra. No thrust-vectoring this time.
.
.
.
This is what happens.

Features:
-Instant cobra maneuvers!!!!
-fly-by-funky-tree system
-Carrier operational

Controls:
-AG1: Flaps.
-AG2: Tail hook.
-AG3: Instant cobra maneuvers!!!!
-AG4: Parachute.
-AG5: Drop fuel tank.(I recommend dropping it before performing a cobra.)
-AG8: Toggle fly-by-funky-tree system(It's on by default, not for the faint of heart :P)
-trim to trim

Lets me explain a bit.

First get some speed above 600 km/h IAS and activate AG3.
When AG3 is activated the plane will slow down and fly level by itself, when IAS is around 450km/h it will pull a Cobra!!!
Deactivate AG3 will disengage the Cobra.

And yes, you can do all sort of maneuvers yourself with a little bit of practice.

Ps. I din't know how to make secondary air intake on top of the primary one when the primary one is close on the ground to protect against FOD so sorry MiG-29 fans.
Ps.2 Please use flaps to turn better, this plane is heavy and sluggish at low speed

ENJOY!!!

    No, your brain is just not familiar with code, that stuff take time you know?
    Funky tree is ultimately just an equation, I'm sure your math teacher can help.

    @GuyFolk well, the only problem is I only good at copying the codes meaning I’m not that smart mostly do to my brain being very limited on codes

    I think you should learn Funky tree so you can make the code to suite your need because no one know their aircraft better than the builder.

    Fantastic but can you help me with modifying the tail wing codes for pitch only
    It’s for a project that I’m making

    Now I'm still figuring out how to do 90 degrees or more cobra without my code glitch out and flip my plane. So... stay tune!!!

    I made my su35 without thrust vector, but i made it in a way that i can do the cobra maneuver only with the normal pitch

    @ElectricVehicle Can I make one of your do cobra?

    @ChrisPy 60 degrees is intentional because when pitch angle is above 90 the code just weird out and I just can't figured out yet lol, and it is to prevent my dump ai to flip my plane. So I just make it hold sort of cobra rather than do a single proper cobra and return to level flight. The cobra you mentioned not require thrust vectoring at all, just aerodynamic is enough, the plane just pitch hard overcoming static stability in the process and then static stability kicks in and pull the nose down to level flight. And yes MiG-29 irl can't do supermanuver, cobra just really push it limit it can barely do it.

    Nice funky trees by the way but remember a in real cobra maneuver, the nose of the plane has to go to or pass 90 degrees this only gets to 60. Keep building and you’ll figure stuff out

    Oh god, smh the MiG-29 can’t do any sort of supermanuver. It’s way to slow and old.

    My plane can't do Cobra Maneuver, it can only maneuver extreme
