I checked out the pg-64 autopilot, I couldnt do anything with it, I am trying to get the plane to stabilize in straight and level flight so I can take my hands off the stick and operate other things and I honestly cant figure out how to operate this auto-pilot, the instructions on pg-64 tell you what the lights and switches do but not how it works, I hit all the switches and light buttons and could not get it to maintain level flight, can anyone explain how this thing works?

Thanks ART-J for the page number, big help!....I will check this out.

Does anyone know if this mig-21 has any type of auto-pilot system?.....I couldnt find anything in the manual on it.

I just got this Mig-21, I notice that most of the cockpit switches do not have a clicking sound like a real switch would sound, I am kinda big on that, since this is a new install is there a download that can make the switches have that clicking sound?...does it auto update with DCS world?...how are the updates installed?

I HAVE FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, A STEP WAS SKIPPED IN THE PURCHASE PROCESS, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP AND INPUT, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM, A STEP WAS SKIPPED IN THE PURCHASE PROCESS, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP AND INPUT.

I have done that,....nothing there.

Thats what I have been thinking...

The module manager was already checked, it is not there.

I already had a ticket open and went thru technical support, it was they who they referred me to this forum for help because they said they could not issue a serial number, if this issue is not resolved by monday I will turn it over to my credit card company for a refund, its unbelievable to have all this over an item purchased.

I just sent a 2nd e-mail to cobra to the link he gave, this second e-mail has a error report included, I also checked my spam folder, nothing is there either, I am still waiting to hear back from cobra.

I just checked that page, there is nothing on it but an old BS2 upgrade purchased back in 2013....still no serial number.

I purchased from the DCS website, I checked all e-mail boxes and the orders section, there is no serial numbers to be found.

I purchased and downloaded the order off the DCS website, it downloaded and installed but I do not have access to it because it keeps asking for a serial number key, I was never even given a serial number key, I did as flagrum said and checked all mailboxes personal and my account box personal orders section, there was no details box to the far right and nothing on a serial number, and there is no serial number in any of them, just two messages from tech support pertaining to this issue and even they were at a loss, if tech support cannot help, what gives?....I guess I am just accustomed to getting what I paid for, I dont get this, I will give this a couple of days as king hothgar suggested, otherwise I am at a loss.

I was not given a serial number upon purchase yet I continually am being asked for one, I know activation issues should be posted in the activation issues section, I did post there but I am posting here also before turning this over to my credit card company for a refund, I was told to contact the owners of this product by tech support because they could not resolve this matter by providing a serial number key, before you people lose me as a customer I just thought I would post here to bring attention to this matter, can anyone provide a serial number key for this item I just purchased?

I just purchased and downloaded DCS Mig-21 yesterday and now I am being asked for a serial number, well, I was never given a serial number, and was told by tech support to go into the module that the serial number is in there, well, I did that and went into the module and there is no serial number key there either, I asked tech supprt if they could send out a serial number key and they said they were unable and asked that I take up the issue with the product owners on this forum, well, I am posting this the thread before turning this issue over to my credit card company for a refund which I was trying to avoid, this is the first time in my life I have had such difficulty over a purchased item, this should not even be an issue and they are looking at losing me as a customer altogether, I have purchased two DCS products in the past which I now own but this situation is driving me away from doing business with DCS just for having to go thru this, and whether I purchase anything in the future from this company will depend on the outcome of how this is resolved, my credit card company will get me my money back if it comes to that, is there anyone that can provide me with a serial number key for the item I just purchased?

The F10 function that brings up the map does have toggles at the top of the menu bar, this is for the map, I am trying to display the threat circles on the abris display, they do not show up even though I toggled those buttons at the top of the F10 map, its the abris display where I want the threat circles, how do I get them to display there?

I couldnt find anything on how to create threat circles in the misson editor or in the manual, the you tube tutorial says creating threat circles is found in the misson editor but it says nothing on how to create them or where in the editor this can be found, I am at a loss over this I wish someone could give some more specific info on this, on where in the editor they can be found and how to make them.

Sithspawn, thanks for the info, its good to know DCS is aware of and working on the issue, thats why I am a big fan of DCS, because the work is top notch, when the wingman issue is fixed I dont think Ill be able to stop flying it.

This Sim has had a boat load of updates and improvements which makes it fantastic but I notice the wingman still seem to do what they want most of the time, ignoring commands or wandering off ailessly, they seem to recon and RTB with consistancy but anything else seems to be a roll of the dice, is DCS aware of this issue? have they looked into it? it just seems tha t with all the fantastic updates they have done it just seems they could nail this one once and for all, the wingman are an important part of this sim, does anyone know DCS's take on this?

I will look into that and see what happens

Does anyone know how to create threat circles in the misson editor around things such as Sams and AAA's? I searched the editor and cant find anything on how to create the circles around anything.

I think this is a great sim but have to admit I am somewhat disappointed that it is not in the vietnam pacific theater and no F-105's are included, but its nice to know there are B-52's in the sim, I will just have to think on having to fight with an F-4 phantom in the caucaus, I'll put a little more thought into it and come up with a decision soon, I guess they could always add new theaters in the future.

I have a question concerning the Mig-21, I was thinking about buying it and was wondering if has historical campaigns like operation linebacker with the B-52' and F-105's, and if there are other aircraft to fight against other that the F-4, does anyone know about this that could help me make a decision to buy?

Ok....I will wait to hear back from them, a little patience will help on this one, again thanks Bob
