I'm going to file a hurt feelings report against you, sir. No need to ignore. If what they say may improve my flights, why not?

Well if that's the case I'm all for the realism. I brake to turn either way.

yeah the radars pretty tricky. You have to really have it in your range else it won't work. But keep trying, it should work eventually. I know I'll mostly be using IR missiles, however, as unreliable as the radar seems.

technically PRMG and RSBN together is to help landing. pg 63 of the manual

Wouldn't that require my pinky-switch to have an axis? I'm not too interested if so. I'd rather not put toe brakes on the mig as I prefer everything to be as close to where the real pilots would have it as possible.

I'd rather not be a test pilot if I'm honest. But this is a simulation afterall, it allows us to project the physical limitations of the actual aircraft without putting anything of actual value in danger. I've been trying to land at 600km/h just to see if I could. I've yanked bombs off of my hardpoints in high G maneuvers just to get an idea of how hard I can yank the stick:joystick::joystick::joystick:. I admit that I don't know as much about the aircraft as I wish I could right now, but that is the consequence of working a full time job I'm afraid.

:noexpression:

lol very true. tbh you can land the Mig-21 at a pretty high rate of speed and get away with it because of the parachute. If you want visibility, I've found 350-400km/h is pretty good, but touch-down speed is supposed to be 260-270km/h with a flare. However, if you were to land it at 400km/h you'd still be able to stop it in time with the parachute. The main thing, however, is the sink-rate more than anything else. To setup the approach for landing the mig has the RSBN which essentially points to the selected airport on your compass(refer to manual, forums are here to help though), PRMG system that works with RSBN to help setup landing. Essentially, what you do is look on your kneeboard find the radio frequency of the desired airport and call the ATC for navigation instructions. Tune the RSBN and PRMG to their channels for that specific airport, set your course set knob to the heading that the ATC gave you and follow the radial. Sorry if I'm no help, I've been working too much to understand anything important about the mig. This is also very true. If you look down at the throttle, you should have the throttle close to where it says "Landing" for a landing.

Well that's no fun :smartass: The landing didn't seem very 'difficult' but to each their own.

yeah man just go into CCIP mode

That helps. So I twist the desired heading knob to the heading I'd wish to follow the RSBN signal on? And it will merge with the RSBN pointer so long as the system knows I'm flying TO the station? Is this correct?

got a replay? 500kg of explosives is more than enough to take out a tank lol

I don't understand flying radials. I've been spoiled by GPS navigation in the ABRIS, I think. What is the point of using the radials? I don't understand. Why not just fly directly to the RSBN signal? and how do the pipers interact? Someone is going to tell me to to refer to the video, but I quite simply don't understand.

I'm loving this aircraft so far. The way the pitot tube vibrates in the wind, the bluepit with those beautiful red illuminations, the sounds of the breaks and the gun loading. Oh man <3 I love this thing. Heres a little landing. What's your favorite thing about the aircraft?

Mine has actually bitten the dust. It broke long ago, and I mended it, but now the LEDs wouldn't even turn on. I called Natural Point and they've supposedly sent me a new one that will VERY HOPEFULLY be here before the mig-21. otherwise someone may have to die.

Right as my Track Clip fails me. Hopefully the replacement will arrive in time.

I'll look at my ABRIS for you to see if I can't figure it out. WHAT? What page?

Yes, the helicopter will have a tendency to yaw right on takeoff, you must always counter with some left yaw. It is also worth noting that since Russian(and every other country except US) helicopters rotors spin counter clockwise, so they will have a tendency to yaw left upon takeoff. But yes, helicopter trim and aeroplane trim work much differently. First of all, you probably don't want to trim the rudders whatsoever in general. It would help for the intial takeoff, but will hinder you when you are actually trying to trim into a hover or something or other. You would end up fighting the aircraft 24/7. Better to just get a good feel for where your rudder should be during takeoff with a little bit of practice. Helicopter trim is not based on trim wheels or HAT keys. It is just one HOTAS key that centers the cyclic(stick) on the place you are holding the stick.

nothing like the sound of a military rotor whipping the air...

play the game in lowest settings and hope that you cannot see the details :megalol:

magnificent, i cannot wait :pilotfly::pilotfly::pilotfly:

Magnificent work! You should work for ED! :joystick::joystick::joystick:

This worked very well. Thanks so much =] I truly appreciate it

Can anyone help me? I am having trouble assigning my ministick to the shkval. I just got my final piece of equipment, my CH Pro Throttle today. I have found and this is all in order, from whatI can understand. I do not know where the 'User Curve' is supposed to be my setting I am now confused as to what I am doing wrong. Please assist.
