sorry to post this here but is there no way i can switch off that mirror ? i am getting 10 fps right now on the Aerobatics online server because that mirror chews up everything.

oops sorry do you mean todays update ?

Confirmed no fps loss.

I think just b4 the threshold i get the dutch roll. but sometimes she is quite stable can't figure why.

That video shows your VSI dropping , you have to roll her back some again and level and then bank again. try and maintain the nose level during a turn. best is to learn the cockpit reference points rather than chasing the VSI , VSI is little slow.

What ? is the FM bad in the 21 ? I find her terrific but hey how am i supposed to know

i need to learn German

I kept all the settings to default in Nvidia control panel and have gained a 7-8 fps and no issues. Even for Xplane / FG all are now set to default without any changes.

Haha ya I probably crashed a few mig21 of the Indian Air Force in that life . I need to trim properly and then test the LG. I know how to level out using the VSI but sometimes i feel the stick is too messy

I'll be honest i can never level out well , it's been years n years of simming but to get the level out is not at possible for me i just can't , so even if i try to level the 51 with the gear it may not be noticeable because i anyway keep going down even after trimming. I can blame it on the stick or blame myself can't say.

But i can't seem to produce that effect , maybe i need to watch properly. I am using 1.5.5 for now NTTR I only use the 15 / A10

Thanks Jose, i will try this out later 2day.

Ok, jcomm i will try it again

Did a test offline and it is the same. I don't find any difference in the behavior of the aircraft.

Well did a flight with the LG down it felt the aircraft is flying without any issues , Mani press was 55. I did aileron rolls too. Later one offline.

Connected to the Aerobatics Server will once again check if drag is being induced by the LG and then later will try offline but later.

No idea about the offline thing as I don't fly offline. But I can check it out later 2nite after work.

I use the Aerobatics Online server and that's where i felt no drag when the gear was down and only noticed the gear due to the aircraft shadow when doing a low pass over the runway. I am not sure what settings they use but I think it is set to realistic. I was doing all kinda maneuvers like the when the gear is retracted. The only aircraft that showed the effect of it on the same server is the Mig21.

It's fun to fly the mig now , damn i can even take off @200-250 km/h as the doc says.

That F/18 roll departure is similar to what I find in the 21 ? at least I think so.

he is right you know

Ok till then i am in the F14 :)

I don't stall in the k4 i think it's due to the slats or maybe i am good pilot :)

I have no knowledge of aerodynamics much but i love the new mig . except some roll sensitivity issues i don't find anything else wrong with her. She is the true gem of DCS. Are there any better sounds for her ?

For me the issues are sensitivity of the stick , it's a very stupid thing that i feel every time the sensitivity changes with the same settings. Sometimes she is too wobbly at approach speed or sometimes not. Maybe that violent behavior could be correct ?
