This is a set of Camouflages for Mirage Factory Mig-29A and C. Firstest in Ukraine ever and lastest but not least.
History:
At the beginning of 1991 it became clear that Soviet Russia would not be able to retain Ukraine under the occupation more. The grip of the communist beast has dramatically weakened.
Patriotic-minded technician crews began to paint over the red stars with a green colour and atop of it the blue Ukrainian Shield with Trident. First MiGs which changed the aggressor's stars to Ukrainian marks was at Crimea Belbek. It was yellow trident in a blue circle and blue circles and a big yellow dot in it at wings.
August 24, 1991 was proclaimed the independence of Ukraine. Soon, officially, new insignia, a square shield with a trident and yellow circles with blue big dot in them were approved. All MiGs got new identification marks and shields for the tails. Soon they got new camouflages and was recolored in gray-blue scheme and gray-grean Ukrainian scheme.
====================
In 2011, MiG-29Cs were upgraded to the MU1 version. The main task of the upgrade was giving the aircraft ability to load and use Kh-29 missile. MiG-29MU1s got new avionics, new weapons and new Digital Camouflage. At 2012 the Ukrainian air force received this aircrafts.
====================
Installation:
1. Unpack files to your mod folder as you do usual with mods. You need installed Mirage Factory Fulcrums. CHECK YOUR FOLDERS! It can be different then mine.
I done skin with "official" tail Shield for MiG-29A and with "non ufficial" rounded shield for MiG-29C to both aircraft appear in game with different shields, cuz in real, some times both variants was at Ukrainian Sky.
2. You need to correct start year in your NATIONS.INI if you have it in mod folder:
[NationXXX]
Name=Ukraine
DisplayName=Ukrainian Air Force
Alignment=FRIENDLY
...
StartDate=1991
3. Add in your MiG-29A_USERLIST.INI if you have n't it yet
[Ukraine]
ServiceStartYear=1991
ServiceEndYear=2000
Availability=RARE
and in your MiG-29C_USERLIST.INI
[Ukraine]
ServiceStartYear=1991
ServiceEndYear=2040
Availability=COMMON
In reality, more common aircraft for Ukrainian Air forces is MiG-29C type 9-13 (Hunchbacked). MiG-29A type 9-12 is very rare. If you fly Baltica's "Orange Revolution 2004" i recommend to change some MiG-29As to C in his company files.
White numbers of Digital Camo is not correct to real aircrafts. Must be white numbers and blue outline and white numbers and yellow outline. If you have anough health to outline all needed decals do not stop youself. I haven't. Please make this work if you want and share it. You can fix skins, improve, redraw and use in your packs.
====================
Skins was drawn based on outlines by Mariusz Wojciechowski (http://www.mariwoj.pl/) and real photos on a MiG-29 Template from CombatACE site.
