Well I bought the product to use all it's weapon systems, and not curcumvent the problems by using only half of it's capabilities...:noexpression: Did the real pilots also get tired of the non functional radar and jsut loaded IR missiles?

Even if i meet your perfect conditions, i can't get targets to show up on radar before I fly inverted. I mostly stay at 10000 feet wich is above the ideal conditions for the radar and a have targets above me, still no luck. It just doen't work as you describe, if it did i would be a happy bunny... I know the radar is supposed to be for very limited uses, but right now it's useless... Now I stopped loading Radar guided missiles, bacause I never get too use them, waste of space... For me it seems the radar in inverted flight is like it supposed to be when flying normally, still shitty, but more useful....

Hallelujah

Yup, radar is working nicely, though only in inverted flight:lol:. Seriously LN get this fixed. Just did a test, had 7 targets visually infront of me, radar saw nothing, I inverted, all targets popped up right away:(

Hahhaha, seems like flying inverted is gonna be my new multiplayer tactic:pilotfly:

Amen, good too hear im not a lone nutter who is imagining things.... Hope the devs can take a note of the complains and look into it... Im 99,9% sure the radar isn't working as supposed:huh:

I talked to people on chat and all seemed to acknowledge that the radar is bugged, they advised me to to forget about the radar and use my eyes instead.... Your expirience is simliare to mine. I feel the radar is just as bad as it was before it was fixed,,,,. Annoys me a lot, because I have waited over 6 months for the fix,,, heck I even bought the Mirage2000 to have something too do while waiting for the mig to be useful... I don't know howto make videos and to be honest not really intrested spending time on it. But I do wonder why the designer of the Mig21bis (RL) even bothered to put a radar in the plane if it supposed to be as bad as this. If the eyes work better than the radar, why even have it? The model enlargment is irrelevant in this case, because I follow that large dot until the large dot has turned into a plane 5 meters infront of me, and still the radar doesnt see it.. Also I play on the other server without model enlargement and still the same issue.. :(

No, I mean really broken, I can see targets visually with my eyes longe before my radar picks them up, and often even then it doesnt see a target even if its infront of me at any range... Sometimes it seem to work fine, like yesterday i had no issues, but today I couldn't see shit even if I had 8 targets straight ahead in my crosshairs....

I was in joy when I got back from holiday seeing the F5 had come out and the mig21 radar was supposed to be fixed in the changelog. Now what a downer to log in and still have a radar that is for no good use except drinking the cooling liquid... :(:(:(:( Maybe I just need another 2 years break waiting for the sim to get stable,,,

Tried it, though not perfect it's sure is helluva lot better than what ED has come up with. ED please learn from this guy, he's on the right path....

Thanks for the update, I almost bought it just to get a plane with a useful radar until leatherneck pulls their fingers out and patch this shit. I refuse to buy the F15C. Arrrgh, just when I started playing again things just had to be bugged as hell. Got dammit:cry:. And now my Il2 BoS doesn't work anymore, no combat sims for me to play. Think Im gonna pull out my old Amiga 500 soon, atleast that old machine and games is still reliable.

Does this work in multiplayer and DCS 2.0? Kinda ridicilous that a modder can come up with something better than ED. They should hire this guy! Tried the clean cockpit mod, it helped, but I don't like the look of the cockpit textures, looks a bit cartony, now If I could only have the canopy and keep the rest of the textures it would be great...

It is awful. And the impostors isn't making it better, they just look ridicoulous and takes away all the immersion. Far distance isn't really the problem, just make the small dots darker, instead of making things bigger in the distance. The white dots we have now is almost impossible too see. This game is not fun in anything else than modern fighters where the radar sees everything, got damn frustrating. The dirty canopy in the mig21 doesn't help either. Got dammit Im frustrated. How hard can it be to make it right. Do the devs even play their own game?:badmood::thumbdown::crash:

Im used to spinning clouds from Prepar3Dv3.2 and FSX so I guess that's why it doesnt bother me that much:p, I have noticed it but only sometimes, and flying through them feels like flying trough clouds anyway. But yeah sure there are room for a lot of improvements. Having them as it is, is better than having no clouds, but I didn't know about them not syncing, so guess they are pretty useless right now in multiplayer.

Hmmm how far out did you see the target? For me my eyes are a much better radar than what I have in my mig21. Im now started just loading IR rockets because before I can get a lock I would already be dead, the RADAR just won't catch my targets.

:helpsmilie:I need this mod, please update the link. With the terrible spotting in this game and a not so good radar this is a must have. I see boogies all over, try to lock on to dirt pixels, Im frustrated, help

Im sorry too hear that you lack proper flightsim equipment:p. I remember when I first bought A10C before DCS world was made(my first flightsim ever). I only had keyboard and mouse, I soon realised that I needed a flightstick, and since I really wanted to fly the A10C without to much hazzle I bought the warthog stick to make it easier to use all the functions. The snowball started rolling, now I needed rudder, because I downloaded ROF and really had to have it to be competative in mp, but it wasnt enough, my situasional awareness was really bad, so I decided I needed head track. Never regret buying these things, had them for years and it made flightsimming much less painful, and I can never imagine flying without. So my advice too you would be, either stick with FC planes:p or invest in some equipment to make your day easier. :joystick::pilotfly: With all these devices I have it took me about an hour to get down the basics of this plane and now I need to flip maybe 5-6 switches before Im able to takeoff(using the windows+home keys to startup the plane). In combat I never flip any swithces, have it all conviniently mapped on my hotas:) Except from the radar filters, but they are easy to locate with mouse while flying so it isnt too hard.

Hmm so it's the implementation of weather that makes it really not used much in MP, didnt know, taught it was the usual, it's to hard to play scenario:p. Hope ED starts to do something about weather so mission designer can start to use it in MP. I disagree on number 5 though, think the clouds looks pretty acceptable, hey they are volumetric(coming from old FSX that is a huge leap:p) I don't know howto setup my SP missions with weather except using the presets using the quick mission generator, so I have never tried crosswind landings in DCS, something I really miss, it was the number 1 thing that kept me playing FSX, setup up challenging crosswinds with different type of planes and airports and see If i could make it:)

Please dont give up on the mig21, once you get down the basics it's the most fun plane to fly in DCS(personal opinion). As others said, tired of switching all the buttons? just use autostart, and then there aint to many buttons left to switch. The weapon/radar functions can be mapped on your hotas so you wont have to fiddle with flipping switches in the air. Oh my god I love this plane, yesterday I got my first online PVP kill(M2000) and it was the most rewarding feeling I ever had in DCS. It almost got me "hard":p Now that we have so many "complex" planes I wish they would "phase" out the "easy mode" planes aka FC, and put them on their own servers. I kinda feel cheated when an F15C blows me out of the sky knowing that he has alot less workload in the cockpit than e.g a Mirage2000 pilot.

Why does it always have to be calm winds in multiplayer? Would love to sometimes have a little bit of challenge when it comes to landings, like more crosswind than 7 m/s wich is worst weather I have seen so far on any public server. Makes landings a bit dull to be honest, and there is never any turbulence, why? Do all wars get fought in these conditions?, sounds abit unrealistic to me. This has annoyed me in every combat sim multiplayer enviroment(BoS, RoF, Clod and DCS). And what I also find weird is that the "Storm" setting in DCS only has 7ms wind, really, 7ms according to beufort scale is nothing more than a moderate breeze!! And Im pretty sure these planes can handle more wind than that before they stay grounded. Please, MP mission designers, give me some weather challenge... I brought this up once in Il2 Bos forum, and the response was pretty much, buhuu, I cant aim, its too hard to kill anything blah blah, why does everything has to be so got damn easy. We are using the most advanced combat SIM out there and it takes months to learn each plane, but a little harder weather, "nononono it makes things to complicated" for real? I'd like to add it wasnt the mission makers in BOS that complained, they had tried but the feedback was bad so they went back to calm weather, guess they was afraid to loose players. It doesnt have to be wind all the time, just mix things up abit, let some days be calm and other days give us some real challenging weather, that would make all partys happy. PLEASE

Did you remember to attach the ASO 2 pod?

Not meaning to crash the party but If it was war, would there really be much civil airliners around?

Ok thanks, Im calm no problem, I just wondered if it was a bug or that the radar tech in this 80's plane was just that crappy in RL:p

Can't pick up anything even when I see the target visually going straight at it at the same altitude. Useless piece of crap.

Thanks for the offer, but I feel I need at least get the basics down before I start messing up for other people:p I regret I unistalled the old DCS, because I could have needed to refresh up on the A10C too.(Been a year since I played). Maybe I just reinstall 1.5 just to get the training lessons back. As I have understood 1.5 and 2.0 can be installed at the same time?
