Basco1

Operated the Huey last night to evaluate the problem,all gunners were returning fire,no problem here. I set up a small mission and loaded in a few enemy ground troops,as a test.Whilst flying over these enemy targets,both Co-Pilot and gunners were returning fire. ROE on Co-Pilot and gunnners was set to 'Free Fire',so not sure what you chaps are doing.....or not doing.

Thanks chaps.

Just want to confirm,will this install ok through JGSME ?

I too,am very excited,but a polished module is far more appealing than a half baked one,so if by this,it means I have to wait a bit longer then so be it. Hopefully there will be some good news soon.

First Class Mustang......easy download,terrific terrain and no issues. I really appreciate your obvious hard work on bringing this excellent MOD to us all,thank you very much indeed Sir

Oh yes......Very Nice Frischi234 and again,so much better than the default version.

@ Mig21FishbedL.......Yeah,we can all see you've mastered the ' Quote ' option on your PC....believe me,we're all very impressed mate.

.....I've got to say,your very good at misreading what has actually been written aren't you ?.....where did I write 'it's wrong, fix it' ??....please do not misconstrue what I have actually written,ok ?,thanks. Right....Please try and understand this,I am merely asking for an evaluation of it,and that,I for one,do not believe this FM to be a true representation of the real aircraft.......this you can quote me on if you must. This is all I am asking ok ?......,no one on here is asking for the Hadron Collider to be dismantled

For the record I have not,nor at anytime compared this Mig-21Bis to the PFLs, PFMs,and F-13 models,I am quite aware that these were very light 21's,and comments on here are misconstrueing my atcual words,please read what I have written a little more precisely,lol. I have pointed out however in so many words,that the Bis is not a million miles different to that of the MF,but we've discussed that,so movin' on. Yeah,with all respect,the fact that ED has signed off on the FM really is neither here nor there as far as I'm concerned,Donald Duck may have signed it off,it still wouldn't mean a thing to me,lol. If you really think that,that rubber band nose effect and the daft stall effect incorporated into this FM is true to life,then who am I to persuade you otherwise. However,there's quite a number of us who beg to differ,read the forum.....especially the ' Bugs ' section,you'll see I'm not alone.

Very nice petslid,however,were you aware though that Strut has already created this and has uploaded his version to the community ?

Hi Specfire,would it be possible for you to update your skin so that it resembles your thread opening picture ? I absolutely love this skin,but at present in version 2.5.4 it only renders in a grey not that superb metallic finish you originally gave it.

No Cake......I was referring that the MiG-21 was light and nimble,not the F-4.

Yes....but your missing the point. If we are to go on your wonderful performance stats,the Bis should be even better to fly than the MF,consolodating my argument,it has,I agree more thrust,the aerodynamic are relatively better,having been cleaned up,and on paper it comes out on top. But the point is......in DCS it flies like a dog !........it's terrible,this is what we are all arguing about......the FM is shite !....have you flown it recently ? Feelings don't come into it fella,the key fact is,that it is crap,and is in no way a true representation of the real thing. MiG-21 variant models aside,the FM is porked and requires IMHO a re think,or at the very least a brand new evaluation.It is,as some guy put it the other day.....the worst FM in DCS.

Yes,thank you very much Strut,as usual you have done a great job on this......the cockpit is now so much more realistic

Lol.....No,don't buy that,The Mig-21MF used in Vietnam from 1972 onwards,is not that dissimilar to that of the MiG-21Bis.....the engines are basically the same,R13-300 Turbojet/R25-300 Turbojet,giving almost the same thrust,the avionics are the same and the aerodynamics of the aircraft are the same....so how come it would be so different ? The reports from the F-4 pilots were taken during the ' Linebacker II' offensive of 1972.....so they would've been discussing the traits of the MF. Sorry but your argument doesn't stack up.

Sorry Nealius......Whilst the FM may feel fine to you,the DCS FM is no way characteristic to that of the real MiG-21. It's very slow and sluggish to turn,it's clumsy in flight.....these two characteristics are in plain contrast to how apparently the real aircraft performed.Read any flight reports of the MiG-21 and your read it was a real thoroughbred,it turned on a sixpence and unlike our DCS FM......it was a very nimble,and accurate aircraft to fly. I have recently been reading the flight reports of USAF F-4 pilots facing the MiG-21 in Vietnam,and their reports only back up to what I had previously read about the MiG-21.All of these F-4 pilots tell of a very fast,lightweight,nimble F1 style of aircraft that could easily out turn them,flying their F-4's. Sorry if this makes difficult reading to the DS MiG-21 devs,but your FM doesn't even come close to the real MiG-21.It is not my intention to cause any offence whatsoever,but I cannot accept the FM is a true representation to that of the real thing either.....Sorry.

Thanks very much Strut.....I'm really looking forward to seeing those markings adorning my cockpit,so realistic. I really appreciate all your hard work and endeavours with this Strut

Looks like somethings corrupted,if it were me,I'd start by doing a repair.

Not my work or MOD Flanker,so I'll ask Keefy Boy when DCS can expect an upload

Thank you very much indeed Sir .....I really appreciate this Mainstay This is IMHO one of the best MiG-21 MODS for the cockpit.

Ahhh.....thought so,great pic HB,and I still appreciate the pic as it further substantiates my argument.

Hi Strut,yes I'd still love your MOD buddy,because with the doors shut,it really does look the business ! Disappointing re the problem,but that's not your problem,and obviously there's nothing you can do about it. However,your work as always looks superb,and I love what you have achieved,fantastic MOD mate,thank you very much

A small request if at all possible at this late stage of completion. Can we please have a 'CLEAR' canopy,or the option to have one,to make online combat possible.The current MiG-21's canopy is way too weathered,and resembles the effect of looking through an old greenhouse window. Different devs I know.....but you know where I'm coming from.....however hey,this issue has more than likely been addressed,I hope so.
