I've updated the two booklet printed versions to include the intercept takeoff regimes for both afterburner and full throttle settings. I also created a larger font, smaller page version that is intended for use with the in-game kneeboard. It should work well with AlaskanGrizzly's DCS Kneeboard Builder. Though I have yet to try it out, personally. Let me know if anyone has any issues.

I'm quite removed from my computer and haven't had a chance to fly the current release but do you have the SPRD cover open?

Ovy!!! Welcome to the MiG-21! Hopefully someday I can wing up with you again on a weekend, sir. It's a bit different than the A6Ms we flew before.

I'm sure it will come down to licensing fees to the owners of the soundtrack. However, I'm all for the full cheese of the guitar theme and if the one LNS picks doesn't give me chills, I'll mod my install :pilotfly:

No slight intended to the OP but these sarcastic thoughts came immediately to mind: What about a canopy ajar or fasten ejection seat belt ding?

Haha, that was great, thank you!

Typo in the warning box on the B&W version: "Engine stat," corrected it to "Engine start." Corrected the dates on the B&W version.

I created tables to replace the images of the warning panels on the last page and removed the background watermark. The pdf is saved in grayscale so it should look that way coming out of the printer. Very fine point you've made and I hope that I have provided a suitable alternative. It is attached to the original post. The cover page's date doesn't match the header/footer date... I'll correct it in a later revision as I see it as a minor typo.

Ah, good point, I'll get a B&W one generated up.

A few of us over at JG-1 have developed the following checklist for the MiG-21. It is made so it can be printed in a booklet form and use one page, front and back, and then folded for simplicity. I will be laminating mine now that the revisions will be farther apart. I took this formatting inspiration from my flying club's DA-40 checklist :pilotfly: This checklist is based on the game release manual with a few additions from previous checklists for DCS and what I thought would be commonly used actions. There is a bit of subjective input within this checklist and I'm sure that there will be criticism from the pilots here, that is actually why I've made it public. Please voice your suggestions below and I will take each one under consideration for revision. I kept the emergency procedures very short, as I don't see these in my normal DCS life. If additions are necessary, the cover page can be removed making another page available for text. I do intend to keep it within four booklet pages, though. 29.6.15: Added black and white version. 30.6.15: Corrected date and typo in warnings table. 8.7.16: Added intercept regimes and created in-game kneeboard version. Intended to work with AlaskanGrizzly's DCS Kneeboard Builder. 20.2.18: Added SPRD and Pitot Heat switches to preflight. 22.2.18: Corrected title alignment on 4 page booklet.

Fair enough, thank you for answering. By the way, my phonetic understanding of Cyrillic didn't let me down on the rheostat :smilewink:

I'm speculating that your native language is Russian due to the location listed in your profile. With that in mind, I am genuinely curious as to why a manual for an aircraft, built by Russian engineers, would be easier to understand in English than in Russian? Of course, if you're talking about the simplified game manual, I can certainly understand where English may be easier.

I'm just going to chime in with another thank you, Chuck! Simply an amazing piece of work, broken down so anyone can understand it. I love the added humor, too.

Perhaps there is something lost between the languages but it seems that you're looking for proof-of-life on a jewel case with a DVD that has yet to be burned. Neil has a fine point about the code still being a beta.

Is the ASP switch on in the right panel, near the Gun Camera switch? Bottom row of black ones. I just flew two days ago and had no issues with the Fix Net or the Pipper.

One of my squad mates says to turn the battery on prior to engine start. It sounds like a bug that isn't present in single player but it is in multiplayer.

Sure thing. I completely forgot how DCS saved MP Tracks. Here is one from last night. I have a longer one where I'm the client on one server but the file is too large. This one is after we saw the MiG-15 not start for myself or my friend on my friend's hosted mission, here I'm alone on my server. One thing to note is that both of us were running the same mission, we looked for planned failures in the editor and didn't see any. This has occurred to other pilots, client and host alike, on our mission but not to everyone. We see up to 2 out of 5 pilots get this failure but not every time. In this track I attempt two starts on my own then attempt an auto start. server-20150308-003255.trk

We've had a few instances of this as well while flying in MP. Are there further ideas of why this isn't working consistently?

Pulse command would only blip the wheel brake once even if you hold the key down, it's not a latching lever. Stay with the option where you hold the key/button and the command is repeated, if you let go, it stops.

You're welcome :thumbup:

This one? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=130542&highlight=battery+switch

I can only speculate from the photo but I believe the airbrake control on the throttle is a two position switch, similar to the A-10. This would have two commands. I do think you guys are right asking for a toggle option but I don't think it's an argument of realism.

I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong but I'm having issues getting the MiG over Mach 1.1 when I'm clean.

Perfect, thanks!

I found my MP mission radios to be off by one preset from what my SP tutorials use with the same settings in the aircraft ME radio presets. For example, Krymsk is 124.00 and preset 10 in the tutorials but 9 works in my MP mission, both .miz files show preset 09 to be 124.00.
