Thanks -this is the exact, great answer I expect from flight-simmers

Googled "Differences between M2000C and Mirage F1" Two different generations of fighters. The Mirage F1 was a direct successor to the very successful Mirage III and it was an improvement in almost every regarding. The F1 was successful in it's own right, a true multi role platform but the Mirage 2000, especially in its latter guise, was a world class 4+ generation aircraft. The F1 had tradition mechanical control and the Atar 9k turbojet engine. It has superior maneuverability and a shorter take off and landing run due to its swept back wings as oppose to the delta wings of the Mirage III. The Mirage 2000 also has a delta wing but due to its fly by wire controls its able to offset many of the limitation of its delta wing and Snecma Turbofan engine is heads and shoulders above the F1 turbojet. But it's really the different avionics suite that tells the story. Modernized versions of the 2000 are equipped with the Thomson CSF doppler multi target radar. Other than AESA…..that's as good as it gets. I believe the 2000 can carry most, if not all, of the precision weapon in the Western arsenal. So there really no comparison between the two. The F1 was as good as it got for its day but it's really a 3rd generation fighter that was never really modernized. The Mirage 2000 has been a premier tactical aircraft since its debut and its upgraded versions are as good as almost anything flying.

Are they older/younger versions of each other Love the 2000C - simple but effective A2A

Don't really pay attention to how the AI acts. I always see the human as having the advantage and like to push them by adding different problems sometimes by just adding an extra plane. The Human has the ability to respond with better tactics or new tactics altogether. So, the ideal is not that the human always wins just barely but that you sometimes win and sometimes get overwhelmed. And have to improve. Always have to know that there is a range of skill that means some very skilled players will handle this easily - so no perfect mission

Just loaded the Patch 2.1.0.6002 Update 1 The shimmering oily look is gone The dials are darkened and crystal clear

Tried the 2.1.0.6002 Patch No problems Never mind :dunno:

:lookaround: Time to buy another DCS Module :lol: and wait on more MiG-21bis content :drink: :weight_lift_2: I went through various droughts of DCS content by learning to do missions with randomization Now I do more mission editing (and testing :pilotfly: :joystick: ) than just flying I had done only A2G stuff but was happy enough with the M-2000C to tackle learning Air-to-air and creating missions for A2A. Good plane.

Tried it again - seems to be working again I did remap some of the frequencies but will test again later on the latest 2.1.0.6xxx patch

MBot has a dynamic campaign for MiG-21bis - MiG-21Bis Dynamic Campaign: Guardians of the Caucasus https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=136618 User files show 2 campaigns https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?PAGEN_1=2&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=3&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=154&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter Filter for single mission gives some pages of content https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?PAGEN_1=2&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=1&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=154&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter More simpler - I created a mission that has 8 missions in it with 3 or 4 enemy types per mission (28 missions in total) MiG-21bis Kutaisi Runway Scramble - MULTI-MISSION https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2647444/ This is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 8 air-to-air mission types Your opponents will be varied Russian & Iranian fighters (F5E, MiG-21, MiG-23) The AWACS Radio will give you the air-to-air mission type as you wait on the runway. Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent - Random enough to keep you busy It has really honed my A2A skills in the MiG-21bis - would have given up the MiG-21bis without it Started creating a campaign now but no estimated time - I prefer to make mission packs I've already made a few A2G missions for it (in the User files) with some randomization of targets.

Currently using 2.1.0.5677 NTTR Tried to get responses out of Home Airbase ATC and AWACS with MiG-21bis in a mission I was building Using Easy-comms & Frequencies were black and did not change Set up an test mission (attached) that tested AWACS and ATC The F-KEY responses were white but there was no responses from AWACS(E2) or Home Base (GroomLake) Swapped in the Su-25T and got the correct responses Went back to my mission (MiG-21bis Escort OP Hunters) & swapped in a MiG29S and got the correct responses Swapped the MiG-21bis back in & the same non-response Test AWAC Su25T .miz MiG-21bis Escort OP Hunters.miz

Updated to DSC World 2.1 and decided to create a mission to check out Nevada and possibly the PBR Lighting Never saw anything like this lighting in DCS World 1.5 Cockpit has even more personality now

With a lot of testing and a lot of improving my own MiG-21 skills, I finally have finished that Multi-Mission mission Mig-21bis Kutaisi Scramble It is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 8 air-to-air mission types with varied Russian & Iranian enemy fighters (F5E, MiG-21, MiG-23) as your opponent. The Radio will give you the air-to-air mission type as you wait on the runway. Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent I am not much of a air-to-air fighter. All my other missions have been ground-pounding in the A-10A, Ka-50, and Su-25T. The few missions I had created for the MiG-21bis had been air-to-ground as well. I had bought the MiG-21bis mainly for its lovely cockpit and not much else. But then I picked up the M-2000C; not as beautiful as the MiG-21 but had lots of good avionics and warning systems and pretty good missiles so that I enjoyed A2A for the first time and then decided to created that original M-2000C Multi-mission. Lots of opponents and different types of missions - no one & done for me. The M-2000C was more capable than the MiG-21 so I had to do a lot more testing and tweaking with the MiG-21bis to get enough action and variety. I reviewed the missiles and jamming devices and got a good variety I learned a lot. Now onto other things for the MiG-21bis

Good work on this - never thought to use the beacons except for landing I tend to work on CAS missions as well and use the kneeboard a fair-bit. But if you have a list of Waypoints, you can use a screen of the briefing to list the Waypoints and directions - very much like a mission card A simplified Mission Card might be done such as: Kobuleti depart Runway 70 turn to 260 (WP1 at Waters Edge) Turn 180 to WP2 at River Intersection Turn 177 to WP3 at Enemy camp And you might want to take a look at older Mission Cards - have them shown in the briefing as well And I also use supporting spotter with flares - using F10 Options and Flare triggers But I definitely need more recon photographs and model pictures for identified targets There are also discussions on this with https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139370 And samples of A-10 Mission Cards https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=61044 Thanks for this

BETA Mission to test I have created a Beta for testing the opponents that the MiG-21bis might face But when I started to fly, I realized I was not good enough with the MiG-21bis My main Air-to-air has been the M-2000C which has lots of situational Awareness aids So, I will need help in testing This AWACS Protection mission is a random choice of the following flights: Opponents are: 2 x Mig-29A (R-73) 3 x F-5E (AIM-9P) 4 x Mig23 (R-60M + R24R) 4 x MiG-21bis (R-3R) You are a 4 Flight of MiG-21bis launching from the runway Let me know of any questions you have or suggestions you can make EDIT: Removed Beta

Did a little Wiki research - Iran (Islamic Republic of Iran) had some F5-E from the U.S. Probably this - would like more opponents
