No, 10 hrs should be more than sufficient.

Today we started the training of my flightmate on the MiG-21bis. Due to its recent release this will be the first plane we will master side by side on equal terms, as i am too are not really familliar with it - yet :) We received order to move from Senaki to Mozdok, fully armed, as we might get thrown into combat shortly after our arrival. Crossing the caucasus mountains is a matter of a few minutes for the MiG, great plane! Both of us flying for the first time close formation in the MiG :) We even managed to perform somewhat like a grouplanding :D And after that, the evening sun warmed our backs :)

Will the new FM get (roughly) ported over to the Su33 also? She is in greater need for a more defined FM than the Su27, because of Carrier and inflightrefuelOps...

Good work. It killed some time and i actually learned something :) Keep it up :D

Plans are that i may leave hospitl on friday and probably won't b able to return to work for several weeks. So i'm about to have plenty of time for the mig :)

That would be like calling the "moon" just "mon". Can't really imagine that. If they would had wanted to save some space, they probably would have written something like "wg.recht". Strange... :/

Don't know, if it has been already mentioned but "Wagerecht" should be changed to "Waagerecht". "Waage" = "Libra", meaning horizontal Bombdrop.

The plan was simple; just hit a powerplant to cut off the enemy's powersupply for several hours. Although that area is known for frequent enemy activities, there is only one Sabre ready for action right now. The Targetarea was scouted beforehand and intell reported many AAA located throughout the whole region, covering the plant, airfiled, bridges and most of the cities. Therefore a high approach is recommended. Sabrejockey ready for action :) The flight went well, navigating through that part of the country was pretty easy, it was hard to locate the plant inside the city though! While scanning the ground i regulary checked my six and finally noticed some MiGs creeping up behind me! Tanks and bombs were instantly jettisoned and i pulled some nasty g's to meet their attack. I was not able to position myself for a good gunshot but i could always avoid their attacks and even seperate a bit to reengage with better odds. Again and again we played that cat and mousegame without anyone managing to take a shot. I was burning pretty much fuel though, so i was at the brink of disengaging as i noticed 2 more MiG's joining the party! No Sir! I value my life and my plane, time to get down low and say good bye! I escaped still well above the tripple A or maybe to fast for them, no shooting occured from their side. Eventually the MiG's gave up the chase, allowing me to land well in the bingo state. (but not entirely dry) Who routs today can return tomorrow and strike again. And next time i will have some buddies by my side, ready to crush those little MiG's!

Exactly, you need to uncage it mechanically before you uncage it electrically and for the mec. uncage there doesn't seemt to be an inputentry.

Is there an entry in the inputsettings for the mechanical sight uncaging? I can't find it, would like to map it though.

Sent :)

They once told, they would release some more videos prior sim launch. About startup etc. Up until now those movies seem not to be online yet. so...

Best of Luck :)

I bet they actually know who pledged and who didn't but they have an agreement with some surveycompanys! Watch your google/amazon/ebayaccounts, probably you will find MiG21 spareparts in the near future listed as "things which might be of interest for you"!

So cool!!!

Leslie Knope! \o

:lol:

Must be a Serverproblem. We fly Su27/33s all day long and can't complain about a bad hittingratio.

Best news for today :)

When will the B-29 get released?

Has anyone already located the lights for ECM and Chaffs/ Flares in the new Su33 pit?

Given the current awacsmodel it will probably go in that direction but instead of informing you globally about incoming threats, it will pick just one conctact and provide you continuous information about heading, speed and altitude.
