13 August 2014 - this aircraft has been updated to v1.3.
Full details can be found in the Support section.
The Sukhoi Su-30 is a twin-engine, two-seat fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. This multi-role fighter for all-weather air-to-air and air-to-surface deep interdiction missions is generally similar to the US F-15E Strike Eagle.
The Su-30 from Bear Studios is an accurate and in-depth simulation for FSX, P3D and FS2004 and its complex systems and operating procedures were developed with reference material from a real combat aircraft.
The Su-30 has two distinct version branches, manufactured by KnAAPO and the Irkut Corporation, both of which come under the Sukhoi group's umbrella. KnAAPO manufactures the Su-30MKK and the Su-30MK2; tThe Chinese chose an older but lighter radar so the canards could be omitted in return for increased payload.
Irkut offered the multirole Su-30MK/MKI for the Indian Air Force, Along with its ground-attack capabilities; the series adds features for the air-superiority role, such as canards, thrust-vectoring and long-range phase-array radar. The Russian Air force operates several Su-30s and has ordered the Su-30SM version.

- KAB/FAB Bomb release (two types, with animated bomb delivery)
- Rocket launches with smoke tail and flame attached
- Jettison (emergency or selective)
- Boarding ladder, air intake blockage covers, controlled by conditional status
- Full pilot articulation with autonomous movement and gesturing
- Built-in FCS-controlled flight control surfaces
- Speed brake and hydraulic power simulation
- Functional animated air refuelling probe and control switch panel for receiving fuel from tanker or large aircraft
- Automatic trailing and leading edge flaps. Controlled by related conditional status
- Tip vapour effects. Afterburner and engine flame effect, controlled by conditional status
- Gsh-30-1 Gun system and effect simulation
-
Cockpit sound system for warning and advisor voice (FSX only).
-
Built-in exterior lights for landing, taxiing, Dimmable navigation and beacon lights.
-
90-page Operational Flight Manual
-
Simulated combat capability:
- Radar-guided Missile / Radar Homing Missile simulation
- Laser-guided Bomb simulation
- GPS-guided AGM simulation
- OLS/IRST/FLIR LST and LTD simulation (no IR imagery)
- Stand-alone ECM/ESM system with advisor display
-
Three models with different typical payload configurations referenced from real Su-30MK/MKK aircraft. Every variant's model with payloads has typical skin texture for worldwide Su-30 owners.
-
Advanced graphics /backlighting techniques. Highly accurate custom avionic displays (HUD, UFC, MFI-9/MFI-54 Russian-style integrated electrical gauge displays)
-
Su-30MKK have full functional MFI-9 displays mounted in forward and rear cockpits, which can apply more information from a real Su-30 aircraft manual on integrated pages.
-
Su-30MK/MKI have similar MFI-54 displays system from recent updated Su-27SK.
-
Custom Auto Throttle for Cruise, Approach and Take-off Status, continually adjusted by Flight Control System. Simulate overstall manoeuvres such as cobra, vertical wheel and other super manoeuvres.
-
Custom 10-mode autopilot which mimics the actual Su-30 FCS:
- Barometric Altitude Hold (BALT)
