Bear Studios MiG-15 (MSFS)

The MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: 'Fagot') is a jet fighter developed for the Soviet Union by Mikoyan-Gurevich OKB. It was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters and achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in most applications.

The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.

MiG-15bis is an improved MiG-15 version; the main difference is the improved engine, the Klimov VK-1. Its level speed at sea level was increased by 26 km/h to 1,076 km/h. One noticeable change is a huge improvement in thrust-to-weight ratio which increased the acceleration by ~10% and it also has a huge impact on its climb rate; it can reach up to 50 m/s at low altitude with full fuel tanks, making the MiG-15bis one of the best climbing planes compared to other planes of a similar battle rating.

It is now better at performing vertical loops and other similar manoeuvres because of the better engine, but the new engine has a higher fuel combustion rate and less internal fuel tank capacity, which reduces flight endurance or range. Other modifications include hydro booster ailerons control to help the aircraft keep a high roll rate when manoeuvring, improved avionics, radio navigation and NR-23 guns with a more rapid fire rate. It also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17.

Now Bear Studios bring the legendary MiG-15bis to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
