The MiG-25PD is a single-seat, twin-engine, high-speed interceptor aircraft developed by the Soviet Union’s Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau. It is an advanced variant of the MiG-25 family, featuring improved avionics, a more powerful radar, and upgraded engines for better performance. First introduced in 1979, the MiG-25PD was primarily designed for high-altitude interception of enemy aircraft, especially strategic bombers and reconnaissance planes, capable of reaching speeds over Mach 3.The MiG-25PD was fitted with the advanced RP-25 Saphir radar and improved R-40 air-to-air missiles, making it more effective in tracking and engaging targets at long ranges. It also featured upgraded R-15BD-300 engines, which allowed it to climb to altitudes of over 24,000 meters, while maintaining exceptional speed and agility. The MiG-25PD remained in service for many years as a critical part of Soviet and later Russian air defense systems, known for its extreme speed and altitude capabilities.The aircraft measured 64 feet in length with a wingspan of 46 feet. It could reach a top speed of 2,170 mph and had a service ceiling of 80,000 feet, making it one of the fastest and highest-flying aircraft ever produced.

Exterior Model
MiG-25 exterior model is highly detailed and features 4K HD textures. The model’s shaders are based on PBR technology (Physically Based Rendering)
Highly detailed afterburner, exhaust and suspension animations (amongst others) further improve immersion.
A package of pre-compiled photoshop files (.PSD) will be made available after release for easy community livery creation and repainting.
Cockpit
The GKS: MiG-25 comes with a 6 degrees-of-freedom, interactive, clickable cockpit. Detailed meshwork and textures provide the end-user with an immersive cockpit flying experience. MSFS2020 also offers full Oculus Rift support, and the MiG-25 cockpit is no exception.
To simplify the mastering of the cockpit and its’ controls, tooltips are provided to the end user in both English and Russian languages.
The cockpit, all text and artwork, has been fully translated from the original Russian labeling to English. Control over which cockpit language you’d like to use is achieved by a setting in the options menu.
Avionics
MiG-25 is designed to from the ground up to faithfully recreate and simulate all interior avionics to their fullest extent. No effort has been spared in making this one of the most complex and accurate flight simulation aircraft available.
MiG-25 simulates all major and minor avionics and system components found in the Foxbat, including, but not limited to:
- ARK-10 Radio Direction Finder
- RSBN-6C Radio Navigation System
- RP-22M “Sapfir” Radar
- SAU Autopilot, including e.g. auto-landing and recovery modes
- NPP and KPP Instruments
- ASP-PDF-M Gunsight
- SARPP Data Recorder
- RSIU-5V Radio
- SRZO-2M “Krom-Nikel” Identify Friend-or-Foe (“IFF”) System.
- SPO-10 “Sirena 3-M” Radio Warning Receiver (“RWR”)
Flight Model
The flight model is heavily component based, and simulates aerodynamic forces acting upon each component of the aircraft in real-time. At no time during the flight envelope is the aircrafts’ behaviour “scripted”. Tuned up to 24.000 meters, it will give you a unique experience in flying this fighter.
Learn to takeoff with small wings and a high speed, feel the RATO effect, experience non-symmetric wing load and super critical angles of slide/slip aircraft behavior and much more. Have fun experimenting and discovering the aircraft behavior in irregular flight conditions, where your engine will stall, you will loose your orientation, your weapon will detach from the aircraft and… you’re gonna love it!
The flight model has been built over the course of a few years, and utmost care has been taken to ensure an authentic experience of flying the MiG-25, under all possible flight conditions.
