So basically, that's a TrackIR right there. :D

Actually, regarding the Kh-66... most resources online list it as available on the MiG-21 from MiG-21PFM onwards (up to and including the 21bis), including later modifications by the Yugoslavian Airforce (one with radio guidance similar to the Kh-23, the other with a TV seeker head). However, it was supposed to be carried on the center pylon alone. Can't confirm if that source is correct - but if it is true, makes me wonder which position the weapon selector switch should be in in order to launch from the centerline pylon.

Ain't that the truth... Thanks for staying on top of things, Cobra, and even more importantly, for letting us know what's up. :thumbup:

Maybe they're making DCS: Carrier Crew? :D

Cool, thanks for the info.

:thumbup: Alfa, does this HDD==HUD equation hold true for the MiG-29A/G (9.12) and the MiG-29S (9.13) as well, in real life?

Well, I tested the Flanker yesterday with a keyboard because I was too lazy to hook the flight stick up. I can confirm the keyboard controls are now just sensitive enough to to perform a cobra, an inverted cobra and to pull out of an inverted spin without crashing, AND to land in-between each of those maneuvers without any damage to the plane at all.

Mustang, have you had any time to check if there's a solution to these glitches?

Thank you, Mainstay! I was getting sick of that piece of paper stuck on it. :D

Those are legacy airplanes carried on since the days of Flanker and Lock On Modern Air Combat. There used to be a mod for re-enabling those airplanes, but it hasn't been updated since Flaming Cliffs 1.

Just tested it with the MiG-21 and all of Mainstay's cockpit liveries - works brilliantly!

Thanks to Flagrum's digging, I got ATC to talk to me in metric! Step 1: acquire MiG-21bis ID from someplace like <DCS path>\CoreMods\Aircraft\MiG-21BIS\UnitPayloads.lua (the actual value is "MiG-21Bis", with only the B in "bis" capitalized; it's odd, but it is how it is) Step 2: edit the start of sounds.lua to the following: aircraftNativeCountry = { ['A-10C'] = base.country.id.USA, ['Ka-50'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['Su-27'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['Su-33'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['MiG-29A'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['MiG-29S'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['MiG-29G'] = base.country.id.GERMANY, ['F-15C'] = base.country.id.USA, ['Su-25'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['Su-25T'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['A-10A'] = base.country.id.USA, ['P-51B'] = base.country.id.USA, ['P-51D'] = base.country.id.USA, ['UH-1H'] = base.country.id.USA, ['Mi-8MT'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA, ['MiG-21Bis'] = base.country.id.RUSSIA }Note the comma after the Mi-8MT entry and the new line after that. The result - it works. LNS, can you please include this in the next patch? It's a minor thing but really helps on takeoff. :pilotfly:

Thanks for digging that out, I'll test in about five hours.

You are downplaying your own importance, sir. Thanks to your videos back in the day, I learned to fly everything that was available in LOMAC. If I didn't have the memory of a goldfish, I'd still remember most of those things. :music_whistling: Glad to see you back online and enjoying the Flanker along with us.

Again, it should work natively in mmHg. I did a test run yesterday from Krymsk using a Russian Su-27, then a Russian MiG-21. The ATC gave me QFE in mmHg while I was sitting in the Su-27, but they used inHg when I was the MiG-21. Knowing bugs like these, it's probably that one line somewhere in the MEinit.xml file or someplace...

Have another one, this time by Discovery Wings and narrated by the late Sir Peter Ustinov:

Can't confirm your case, Heinz, I just did a clean takeoff from Khanskaya and retracted gear at ~300 km/h, all wheels up.

I tried the pendulum technique, it works about 50% of the time. Some also reported extending the flaps helped.

Wait, Cobra, does this mean that someone can release a livery pack that includes not only the external paintjob, but a complete reskin of the interior as well? :huh:

Another bug found. After landing and using the drag chute I called Ground Crew for Rearm/Refuel. The parachute cover was left open. On second take-off, the parachute cover suddenly appeared closed mid-air. On second landing, the parachute wouldn't release at all, even though the cover's closed.

I had no idea this existed. Brilliant.

I just found this - is this the version that was WIP not long ago? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/900561/

A thousand thankyous, Mustang. I got a 50% FPS boost on a desktop replacement laptop using this. Even in the MiG-21.

Until the HRZ skins are done, I'm reliving the days of glory in this one. :thumbup:

I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I need it. :D
