I agree. But! I know for certain the L-29 was used from gras runways by the Soviet AF, and seeing that Aero tested the L-39 in that regard, it is plausible that the L-39 was intended to be used from gras runways as well. I also know that East German AF MiGs sometimes operated from gras runways in exercises, and we know that the MIG-29 has FOD doors for its engines to enable operations from less-than-paved runways, so it must have been a doctrinal thing in the Warsaw Pact to make its aircraft being able to operate from gras strips, therefore it is something that could be considered by ED - probably as well for the Su-25. But yes, there are more pressing issues with the L-39 than that, and we can call ourselves lucky if ED ever adressed those other issues.

Great find, thanks mate.

Yes, but that was two years ago, and to what extent that update will be is still unclear. Will it just be an update of graphics, or will the MiG-21bis finally get a significant upgrade in terms of systems and realism? And yes, I know this is the Corsair forum, but since only this part of the M3 forum seems to get the attention lately, I'm asking here.

Spotting in VR definitely needs an improvement, or simply a deactivation of the current improved spotting for VR users. Those do not need any radar, they can spot the blobs from 30+km away and enjoy a significant gameplay advantage over non-VR users. This bug has degraded multiplayer significantly. For non-VR users I feel the improvement is great. For the first time I can actually spot enemy dots within 10km range...

Can you elaborate on LNS' plans regarding the future of the MiG-21bis module, your most successful and most popular module so far?

Bump. I came across the flap settings again today and was wondering why in the world the MiG-19 was lacking a incremental "up" and "down" keybind for flaps. So, how good are our chances that we will see continuing support for the MiG-19?! @OverStratos

Has there been a change in the ballistics of the DCS FAB bombs recently? With the charts above I was able to hit targets pretty decently with FAB-250 about a year ago in a standard 30° dive from 2000m above target. Now, coming back to the MiG-21, they always fall significantly short.

Many thanks for the end of year report, very much appreciated. Cockpit looks great, but please Red Star Simulations, for the love of Marx and Lenin, please include an English cockpit version.

Yes, AI helicopter behavior is quite weird in DCS, even more than that of planes. Unfortunately it's a total immersion killer seeing AI helicopters take off and land.

It's those details that make an excellent skin for an immersive simulation experience. Thank you for your efforts, I am very much looking forward to Szatan Arba!

There is! Under "controls", "trimmer reset".

What's the current status of multicrew in the Gazelle? Has anyone tried it lately? My last attempts are more than a year old, back then there were a lot of desync issues. Has that been improved lately? Is multicrew stable and dependable on a busy multiplayer server?

This was actually the case even before the last patch. I can't tell how long this has been the case already, but I know for sure I came across this bug a few months ago. Thanks for reporting it.

I'd like to see one campaign where you are not "an American exchange pilot" for once though

The analog speedometer actually shows IAS and TAS with two needles, which is a nice feature if you ask me. (TAS is shown in the Mach meter) For assessing your aircraft's current performance in WVR combat, IAS is quite helpful, but for navigation and BVR combat TAS is more useful.

According to the interview they have some very competent people on the team. Looking forward to the -17F, I'm very happy with that choice.

Still an issue in MP...

Last thing I read was the developer wants to implement new things and standards with the Kiowa first, then implement these to the Gazelle.

Wrong for western procedures...

Now it is Christmas 2022 and we're still waiting for the veil to be lifted....

No need to apologize, checking for older threads before opening a new one is the right thing to do. No need to litter the forum with ten threads on the same issue. You did it right

There is no need to open a thread for the same topic every two weeks. Checking for older threads on the topic and using them is actually a good habit. So no need to apologize, F-2, you did it right.

It’s a problem with AI airborne units that has been a subject in several discussions on Blue Flag and Rotorheads servers. It doesn’t only affect the Black Shark, but all player-controlled units.

You probably have a centerline drop tank then = no airbrake. Drop the tank to use the airbrake, or, more realistic, try some S turns before final to bring down speed. The -29 will lose speed quickly at high alpha turns at idle thrust. Usually one hard turn into final is enough to get on speed.
