It looks better for sure

Don't be afraid to push some more polys into it, if you take a look at some other freeware aircrafts, they have smooth shapes without impacting the performance.

i think there's something missing or a little bit too small.

I know there was different variants - and I don't know which one these shots are from ... but that scope doesn't seem to feature in any Foxbat cockpit shots I have seen ... again, maybe just a different variant ...

I am so thrilled someone is doing the wonderful Foxbat - this will be superb. Great work!

Your pics seem to show the -R or -RB.

The basic interceptor needs a scope for the radar, after all.

Are you applying for the role as backup modeler?

If so, I totally support it!
Nothing better than melting your engines at mach 3.2 at 70000ft while watching a gogeous sunrise in a MiG-25.

well i-m going to continue doing kikka after i finnish with the mig25...but if someone wants to make it as well, it'd be okay... :mixedsmi:

**Piglet** · February 19th, 2011, 19:09

I got several projects rattling around my head already, so take your time...

I see that the MiG-25 is now available here at the SOH addon library!

Very cool! Thanks for the Foxbat!

**DennyA** · March 2nd, 2011, 21:01

Hadhart,

Just had a minute to take the MiG-25 for a quick flight. AWESOME plane! Thanks so much for making it. The exterior, cockpit, flight model... All top-notch!

Can't wait till I have a bit more time to fly it and can defect to Japan in it.

***Daube*** · March 3rd, 2011, 00:52

I downloaded it yesterday.
The external model is awesome, fantastic job !! :ernae:
I don't like the virtual cockpit, though.

***Ferry_vO*** · March 3rd, 2011, 10:21

Not bad at all!! :ernae:

The only 'problem' I've had is the topspeed; anyone pushed it beyond mach 1.5 in level flight? Even in a steep dive I only reached mach 1.6.

***Roger*** · March 3rd, 2011, 10:23

Thanks for your labours hadhart:ernae:

**hadhart** · March 3rd, 2011, 17:40

Thank you all, hope you'll enjoy it..

**hadhart** · March 4th, 2011, 06:02

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.

***Ferry_vO*** · March 4th, 2011, 07:32

Thanks for the update Hadi!

Thanks Had - very good news. Thanks for the model and the fix. Can't wait to get back to my pc - this one is one I'm very eager to try.

Best regards,

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.

**hadhart** · March 5th, 2011, 20:31

hi wily. Thank you for your comment

**pr945b** · March 6th, 2011, 08:00

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...

**wilycoyote4** · March 6th, 2011, 10:43

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.

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...
