Golo

Its not glowing from outside. Instrument and panel lights are visible from outside. If you have night flood light only on, its not visible from outside.

Hi, can somebody tell me why are modifications of view luas restricting me to access servers due to integrity check fail? I personally prefer to modify max/min zoom to my setting that i am used to, which are 10/90 and not some zoom out view to 140 or some such. There is nothing else changed in those files just this prefered numbers of mine and I cant join anymore? Cant you make exception of integrity check to views?

It should not be vissible. It does not matter that you can visualy see the F-5 or that it is above you. In this case as it is at 3,5km it is masked by radar returns of primary and side lobes of the ground. So it could very well be shown on the scope, but along with all the clutter. Now if it was in lets say 10-15 km away and above you, I see no reason it should not be seen by radar and shown on the scope, because radar returns from the ground only extend to finite distance.

It is working for me, I belive I have the pages in Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard not further.

Yes, it had bugs (speed limit was not bug it was artificially induced), but in its core it much better represented MiG-21 characteristics, well at least if compared to manuals I have.

I still think FM is too stable, oh how I miss the early version of the FM from 1.2.13-14 If I recall correctly. It had everything, awesome spin oscialtions, inertial rotation (somewhat bugged tho), proper wing rocking at slow speeds and was generally more lively. Now it does not have any of that. If only I could have that version of FM back :cry: (even with its bugs).

I was doing few touch and go before landing in my latest flight with MiG-21bis and I can tell you that after getting back in air after touch and go there were some massive view jumps around cockpit. They lasted as long as I had my L/G out, once Ive retracted L/G the view jumps ended that instant. Got me thinking this BUG has probably something to do with extended L/G. Maybe someone else can confirm what I experienced too.

Can you read or what?

It has been like that since release as far as I can remember.

Very good update, I did not find any major bug. Radar is back, aileron booster working as intended, so does emergency gear release and engine relight, no sound issues. That inaccurate M/TAS indikator still bugs me tho. Anyway, pretty solid MiG-21 module again after some rough time. Thanks LN guys.

Will there be an official MiG-21bis patch for 1.5.3 non beta sometime "soon"? I would rather wait for it unless its really far away.

Yes, but you can still adjust RPM by using switch on the collective even with auto gov on.

I remember flying old Il2 46 with some community super mod which had it simulated. By some approximation I assume, but it was immensely better than without it. So DCS cant do it even in some simplified manner? It would be better than with nothing at all. From my own point of view of course.

Yes, but you can do just one at a time. I want to be able to both filter out the locked servers and sort it by ping and/or player count. Impossible now.

I hope wake turbulence among other things will be simulated in DCS sometime soon, as I was asking many times. This just shows how much more interesting will the flying be with things like this this.

Yes, shows same behavior to me.

I would like that too and it should really be standard for all modules.

Alt. 15m ASL, temperature +15°C, pressure 760mmHg no wind, no clouds, no turbulence. I know there is some air compresibility issue around 0.85 to 1M, but I also know that machmeters should not be affected much by it. I red that max. deviation should be around +-0.01M, unless there is blockage of course. It was not behaving like that in previous versions as far as I can remember, that is why it seem off to me now. Edit: I just installed FC3 and tested it with Su-27. Under same conditions machmeter was showing exactly Mach 1 and airspeed of 1225km/h (+ few km/h) as I was just supersonic. Maybe FC3 aircraft are too simplistic to work with instrument, pressure, tempreature errors. But it seems way off for MiG-21.

Hi all. It seems to me that my IAS, and M/TAS instruments are lying to me. I was flying few times now to test it around 1 Mach and every airspeed indication seems to be off. I was testing it at ISA conditions down low where 1 Mach should correspond to 1225km/h. At IAS and TAS 1225km/h (few km/h deviation) machmetr was already showing 1,04M, but I was still not supersonic. Not to the point of IAS and TAS of about 1275km/h (few km/h deviation) at that point machmeter was at 1,05M and I was just barely supersonic. It seems all airspeed instruments are showing more than they should. Machmeter about +0,05M, IAS/TAS about +50km/h. Any MiG-21 driver show the same, or is it just me? I cant recall exactly, but I think this was not happening before latest patch.

If you dont already know check this out - https://leatherneck-sim.mantishub.com/my_view_page.php Its a list of current issues and resolved bugs with MiG-21, you can see whats what with it anytime.

It is known bug, its been worked on. So keep calm and wait for update.

Yes, same with me. As I said many times, I do not even care about visibility past 5miles and EDs imposters for that mater. What I care most about is visibility in close 0-5miles...dogfighting being most critical at that. Zooming in FOV is not and option for loosing overall SA as you said. Figuring out visibility needs to start from 0 distance and go up, not from imposters 10-20miles away and smart scaling seems like best option of doing it.

I can check what Russian manuals I have, but I think there is no need. And this bug have been in bug tracker for some time now so they at the very least know about it....0000081: Armament missile switch function incorrect.

From the manual (RL). TRIM TABS The trim tabs provide aircraft trimming along the longitudinal and lateral axes. Longitudinal trimming is provided by trim tabs fitted to the left and right elevators. The right trim tab is operated by electrical actuator which deflects the tab up or down. The left trim tab is controlled by the flaps extension and will deflect automatically when the wing flaps are moved from to 44 degrees (landing) position, thus effectively introducing a ··nose up" trim for the flare. The right trim tab is controlled by the trim switch located on the control stick in either cockpits. Lateral trimming is provided by combined trim/balance tab fitted to the left aileron and is operated by an electrical actuator which detlects the tab up or down. Right tab is the balance tab.

Yes as it should be. Every module handles differently so I want to be able to setup my curves on one by one basis. I absolutely do not want one generic setup. Agreed
