    I met a MIG-21 pilot

    in MiG-21Bis

    Posted

    Interesting information shared. The Hungarian officer features in some videos on YT.

     

    As for flying the real thing, I spoke briefly to a MiG-21 pilot during an airshow who had experience on the FL and bisON types.

     

    He stressed on the importance of a good approach, that the MiG-21 had a reducing speed, round out kind of approach and the approach was about 340kmph and touch down about 260 to 280. All speeds for the bisON.

     

    I forgot to ask him how but the almost impossible thing for me is keep the nose gear from hitting the runway immediately after the mains make contact. The "vigorous" pull of the stick in the real things english manual does not help but the simulataneous reducing of throttle and flaring helps.

     

    Just saying.....

    How to Land the Dora

    #3 is important

    I believe most of us tend to initially pull the stick all the way back and past 150-170 km/h.

     

    This certainly calls for problems, because you stall it right at takeoff :-)

     

    The correct procedure for me is:

     

    1) just slightly pull the stick back when you apply takeoff power ( which should show 3200 RPM )

     

    2) center joystick in pitch around 150 km/h, and at the same time use rudder to stay in the rw - the tail will rise so, further right rudder will be necessary!

     

    3) apply a bit of right aileron just before getting airborne

     

    I have to test with different x-wind settings now, and will report my findings.

    Bf 109 K-4 skins contest

    in DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst

    This is all such awesome work.

    Thanks so much.

     

    I had been wondering as to why the K4 variant was developed by DCS and stumbled upon info that little over 1500 of them were made and that left me wondering. Why so many few skins ? unless there was a standardized camo pattern implemented which results in so few variations of skins.

     

    Where do you folks get info for the skins and the artwork to come up with such beautiful work ?

     

    Thanks

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stopped working in Win10Pro 64bit

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    Had been working under Win 10 earlier.

    Its likely because of Windows Updates, but which update to uninstall or rollback ?

    I have tried Logitech's latest drivers LGS 5.10 both 64bit and 32bit but no joy.

    Logitech tech rep admits they dont have a Win10 driver on their forums but then ?

    Can't leave Windows 10 and go back to 8 or 7, nor can get another make of joystick (I am in India) at the moment

     

    Any leads ? Any work arounds ? Any Windows gurus who can help ?

     

    Thanks

    February 2016 Update (Hawk)

    in Hawk

    Posted

    I urge you to Do re-visit the Hawk and please do come up with the Hawk 100 series.

     

    Had we Indians bought the Hawk a couple of decades earlier, this one would have surely been in my hangar today.

     

    The RAF Hawk with two AIM-9L and the Aden gunpod holds a special place in my list of favourite aircraft.

    We are learning new texturing techniques every day, I may re-visit Hawk in the future but I am very happy with the current skins as they are.

     

    The main weapon we're working on right now is the Aden gun pod.

    LOOKING FOR DCS SIMMERS IN INDIA !!!

    While on the topic, looks like our Logitech Extreme 3D Pro has conked out or has a driver issue with Win 10 (it was working in Win10 though)

     

    So what are our options for another flightstick here ?

    R73ae archer and Astra missle?

    in M-2000

    Posted

    You can mod the Mirage 2000C to carry the R73 or the AIM9 for that matter. But the R73 and Astra on the Mirage 2000C would be unrealistic.

     

    India operates the T and TH which will be now upgraded to the I. The T is an E. The C is a different macine.

     

    Manish.

     

    Will be seeing the above missiles be implemented on the m2000 as the Indian m2000c had them fitted?

    When the sims used to look like on the image below (green plate for ground, blue for the skies) we complained about the lack of details. Now that we have our details, we complain about the size. :D

    Took me 3 days to download too...
