MiG-19P May Development Update Good morning/evening/night everybody,



As you may know, we have been working to bring the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 fighter aircraft to DCS World.



We have been spending the time since the announcement doing the 3D work, manuals search, translation and data compilation from meetings with pilots and measurement of real aircraft. It is necessary to mention that hard data about this aircraft has been very difficult to find, but since then we have been able to get a very clear picture of aircraft operation, systems and performance. We have good documentation now, including some rare manuals, but if some of you have something that you think may be important, feel free to PM me.



I would like to thank Foxbat155 and Vincent90 for the quite valuable help that they have provided.







The MiG-19P:





The MiG-19P, which entered service in 1956, was the Soviet Union first all-weather supersonic interceptor. It was designed to take care of bombers, strike and reconnaissance aircraft in any type of weather, including inside clouds and at night. As a development of the MiG-19S day fighter, it shares many parts and systems with it, but as a consequence of the weight increase because of the installation of an interception radar and the related avionics the performance was degraded, like top speed and rate of climb, among others. However, because of the incorporation of some modifications, the MiG-19P had a much better handling at his operational ceiling than the S variant. Is very interesting to know that among the fighter aircraft in service then, the MiG-19 showed very good performance characteristics, some of them better than the first variant of the MiG-21, the F-13.



The subject of our work are the late series MiG-19Ps, with the following characteristics:



- RP-5 Radar instead of early RP-1, with increased search and lock range.

- Two NR-30 cannons instead of two NR-23.

- Possibility to mount two R-3S air to air missiles.



We have been taking very seriously also the performance of the available armament, here you can see an example of one of the graphs that show the launch zone of the R-3S missile:









Here you have the available armament:







The ORO-57K rocket pod was able to use the ARS-57, ARS-57M and OARS-57 rockets, known later as the S-5.





We have been debating the probability to also make a MiG-19S, but nothing is concrete yet.



All this pictures are work in progress and do not represent a final product. Also check: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php...7&postcount=15
