According to the manual (page 147 in the EN .pdf) the wingspan diameter will match at exactly 300 meters distance. This means, if you set your wingspan to 10m and the target is 300m, it will fill the circle arround the piper. The radar does not do anything in this process. There is no range input from the radar when using the guns air-to-air.

Would like the mission editor option as well. Is, in my opinion, a bit more realistic to have the mission maker select if the airplane has or doesn't have the guncam installed. Similar to BST's Mi-8.

That is correct. The fuel quantity indicator is not connected to any fuel-level meassuring device. You, the pilot, has to set the inital quantity. The quantity indicator will display how much fuel is left dependend on fuel flow. If you drop a tank or you leak fuel, the quantity indicator will not know that. The only actual 'real' fuel level information you get is from the 4 indicator lights, which will light up on certain fuel levels.

The Mig has feeder tanks for negative g situations, that also can feed the engines in 0g conditions. However, feeder tank capacity is quit small, and especially arround 0g not all of it might be usable. Thefore, if you have high fuel flow because you are running on after burner, you might starve your engine off fuel in a few seconds of 0g flight.

To be honest, I didn't really look into the color stuff. Mine are still set to standard. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Anyway, good to hear that you could get your setup working.

I like the Sennheiser headphones/headsets. I have the PC363D which is a 7.1 headset, however, even their 2-channel headsets maybe are a bit cheaper. The build quality and the audio quality as well as the mic are very good. No complaints from my side so far.

Retracting the flaps before braking is often recommended during real world operations of small, general aviation aircraft, as a way to increase the weight on wheels, and therfore allowing for more brakeing friction and theirfore shorter stopping distances.

Sorry, I have to change something of that: You can actually lock onto a ground target. Didn't know that! Source:

Yes. However, as far as I know, when firing the Kh-66 the radar operates in a fixed beam mode. In that mode it will point straight ahead. The piper on the hud will indicate that. Now, the missile uses the straight ahead looking radar to guide itselfe down to the impact point. EDIT: Apparently, you can lock a point on the ground with the radar. If you don't deviate to much from course, the radar will maintain the lock. After launching, the Kh-66 will then ride down that radarbeam and hopefully hit the target. There is no "locking" of the target. You keep the piper over the target by flying the plane. Therfore the radarbeam will be on target. And that's what the missile is using for guidance. Hope that makes it more clear! :smilewink:

Hanger Talk 2 - Weapons As requested, talking a bit about the diffrent weapons available for the MiG-21Bis: Enjoy!

You are welcome! Next video is in the works allready.

No the, F-86F can not perform aerial refuelling.

I think non of us can.

It almost looks like the Hunter will get scraped! Good to know it just will be moved to have a better live! :) We have a guy in the vicinity that has his own Hunter. Always nice to see people keeping such old birds flying. Thank you for sharing!

They deserve that for driving on the wrong side of the road... :music_whistling:

Does the board beep at you? EDIT: Try and use one of the new RAMs, and test all the slots with it. I had a board where one of the slots died on me, therefore it wouldn't boot anymore.

Well, good luck with the MiG-21 then :D

Yeah, why not? Good idea! :thumbup:

No, 1300km/h. However, I think that is indicated. Therfore, at higher altitude it will be 2.05Mach. At 11.000meters that equals 2230km/h groundspeed.

Well, you don't lose any air pressure during flight. You just need it during taxi, takeoff (directional controll) and landing.

Thanks for the feedback! Well, I can't do a video from the cockpit, because I don't have the MiG yet. I am waiting as eager for release as you are! :) The plane in the video is just the AI MiG-21Bis that the latest DCS World version has included.

It is a bit difficult for me to try with 3 monitors from one card, because I don't have any DVI-to-DisplayPort/HDMI adapters on hand currently. I did some tests a while back with the two cards in SLI and only one screen attached, and the improvment over a non-SLI setup was marginal, if not there at all. I don't know if that will change with 4 screens. However, with EDGE getting closer and closer, I do asume that SLI will get more usefull with DCS in the near term future.

No, there isn't. It is a closed, limited system. For example if you retract the gear, compressed air is used to brake the tires. Once the gear is fully retracted you will put the gear hanlde into a neutral position, which stops compressed air to be further consumed. If you don't do this, you will be in for a bit of a funny suprise when landing. Neither will you be able to fire the drag chute. It uses compressed air to deploy as well. There is an emergency braking system though.

There is no standalone version of BS2 anymore. Blackshark 2 in DCS World is the actual updated version of the Blackshark 2 at the momment.

Looking forward to your Test Flight series about it as well!
