This is a Czech MiG-29A of the First Fighter Air Regiment ca. 1993
NOTE: This only works with DCS World 1.2.16 or earlier. DCS World 1.5/2.0 uses a new MiG-29 model.<br />
<br />
These MiG-29A skins do not require you to overwrite any existing "slots"; they exist as individual skins using the standard definition.lua format. Simply put the skins in your Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\ folder; you should be able to extract using the path that exists in this archive file.<br />
<br />
In order to have the MiG-29A (and this skin) available for the Insurgents in the Mission Editor, you will need to update the db_countries.lua file located in DCS World\Scripts\Database. Open the file in a text editor like Notepad++ and search for the following string:<br />
<br />
-- INSURGENTS<br />
<br />
This is the comment line that starts the Insurgents section.<br />
<br />
In the first section,you will see the following entry:<br />
<br />
cnt_unit( units.Planes.Plane, "P-51D");<br />
<br />
This is the plane available to the Insurgents in the mission editor. Just add the following line:<br />
<br />
cnt_unit( units.Planes.Plane, "MiG-29A");<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This opens more possibilities for scenarios, and all of the included skins are available to the Insurgents as well as Russia and the Ukraine.<br />

Special thanks to Jack for allowing the use and modification of his enhanced pylon texture, as well as his collaboration in developing MiG-29 skins that are not dependent on the original "slots" of the Flanker 2.5/LOMAC models.<br />
