  1. I'm not entirely sure how to use the flares and chaff in the MiG21. I've bound the countermeasures release key... but when I press it nothing happens... do I need to activate something or enable countermeasures? Also it looks like you can mount an ASO-2 countermeasure system to the back of the plane, are those my only countermeasures? Or are they just extra ones... and either way how do I use them haha
  2. Is there a "like" button on this forum? <3
  3. I've actually found that its easier to get the phantom to overshoot me than anything else (so far)
  4. I don't hide this, I've said it like a billion times on my channel. Don't understand how that's impudent. Its just my job. I'm starting to think that you've made following me around on the forums and being constantly negative your full time profession.
  5. No its not edge, not that I think anyways... I mean hell it might be, I don't think so though
  6. I'm really sorry about this man, but from a business standpoint I can't do that. The most successful business models on Youtube are quantity over quality, and since I make my paycheck off Youtube I can't risk changing my strategy. Now granted as I continue to learn about the MiG21 I'll try and showcase that knowledge in my videos... but as it stands its more important that I get videos of the MiG21 out ASAP as opposed to waiting to learn more about the aircraft. With the amount of work I have to do featuring other games, and also touring the US, I don't always have time to fully research the games I play on Youtube. I really appreciate you telling me the statistics and stuff though, however at the time of the livestream I had only been home 12 hours from tour (after a grueling drive that had me up past 6AM) and the 21st was the date I was asked to start publishing media, so once I woke up at 2PM I only had a little time to learn the plane on top of the other games I've been asked to feature. Hopefully in the future I can make better videos, but yeah... I hope that explains why I do what I do. Edit: It would actually be nice to have a wingman who was a little better informed than me, but since the game is only released to promo channels my pickings are slim.
  7. I mean... in its class... yeah? I'm comparing it to things like the MiG-29 But honestly you shouldn't even trust anything I'm saying I've already said multiple times I have no clue about this thing
  8. Yeah its like I said in the livestream... it can't turn that well, but that doesn't mean it isn't capable of dogfighting. I'm sure there's a way to be effective with it, I just haven't figured it out yet.
  9. I don't really care if it can't turn or not... it shoots missiles and is a fighter jet. We're all obviously going to buy it haha
  10. I preordered the MiG during the Indiegogo campaign. I'm also friends with Cobra and he was kind enough to let me have an early copy to help them promote their release on my channel.
  11. Fantastic Job Just wanna say I'm playing the prerelease version right now, and I'm incredibly impressed. Thank you so much to Leatherneck Simulations for seeing this project through to the end, and for honoring the indiegogo supporters... I can't imagine how much stress and work has gone into this plane. Every detail is beautiful, and I can really see all the love you guys put into this plane shining through. Thanks so much and congratulations.
  12. This has nothing to do with turning a profit or not, this has to do with the legalities of business. There are many ways to do illegitimate things while loosing money, just because you're taking a financial hit... doesn't make it legal. That is not enough. If someone says "give me money and I'll give you a car" and you give them money, and they say "oh well, I'm not giving you a car" or even "oh well, here's a bicycle" you don't say "ah well, at least I learned not to trust that guy" no you report him for fraud. That's fraud. It was absolutely marketed under false pretenses. From a definitive standpoint, RRG has bait and switched its backers. A product was offered, and it is not being delivered in whole. I would also like to say that Kickstarter has contracts that hold the campaign starter to their promises, this whole "ah well its Kickstarter, fraud is okay there" is not true. From their website: I'm not saying ED is somehow a part of it, but I also have no proof that they aren't. It is entirely feasible that someone could take advantage of this situation. Granted that is all speculative, but it is a justifiable speculation. I don't know anyone in ED personally, and I have no inner knowledge of your business or marketing... therefor in my mind the possibility exists.
  13. Just as a preface, I am going to say that the more I think about this... the more I am very unhappy with the situation. This very particular scheme (from a business standpoint) has extremely negative ramifications for the simulation and tactical gaming industry, and these ramifications reach considerably farther than merely this specific incident. Then ED should forfeit any work or product made through that 10% funding, and RRG should be met with legal ramifications if they are unable to fulfill their promises. I am sorry but I cannot be grateful for this. This particular scheme has massive legal implications, and is unfair in both a business and marketing standpoint. To accept a product even partly funded under false pretenses gives an unfair advantage over competing companies that adhere to strictly honest marketing guidelines. If Company A and Company B are both running a Kickstarter campaign for the exact same product, however Company A lies and tells its consumers they will receive more than what Company B is offering... Company A will out compete Company B for no other reason other than that Company A lied during its marketing campaign. This entire system promotes dishonesty in a marketing and business setting, and is out competing honest companies that are working to market their products accurately and effectively. I love ED and their products, and honestly I could care less on getting my money's worth for this module. I've gotten enough copies of DCS modules for promotional purposes that it would be absurd for me to argue this purely from a personal financial standpoint... but if anything that should make you realize how seriously I take this situation. I'm probably risking my promotional relationship with them (hopefully not) by talking about this, but its important enough to me that I feel I must argue these points anyways. Regardless I am a Youtuber... I make a living off of speaking my mind, and this is very much what is on my mind right now.
