Dear developer of Mig-21bis, (Just confirmed, this bug is only on Mig21 and it is only when the LOD switch factor is set to less than 1.0) I noticed a possible LOD related bug that causes mig21 external 3D model to become invisible at certain distance (>1000 meters or so). How to test it: I am using VR headset but bug can be seen on normal screen display. I have my LOD switch factor setting to 0.1 for performance reason in VR. Not sure if this "bug" has anything to do with my display settings. So I also attached my display settings. If you start any mission with a Mig-21bis in it (I am in a F-4E) and look at the external view of the mig21 with F2 view. You can use your mouse wheel to change the viewing distance. At around 1000 meters the mig21 external model will disappear, leaving on the loadout visible. Changing the MIG-21Bis.lods file in the \CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21bis\Shapes folder can fix the problem original file: model = { lods = { {"MIG-21Bis.edm",25.000000}; {"MIG-21Bis.edm",45.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis.edm",120.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis.edm",1000.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis_LoD_04.edm",10000.000000}, }; collision_shell = "MIG-21Bis_Collision.edm"; } modified file: model = { lods = { {"MIG-21Bis.edm",25.000000}; {"MIG-21Bis.edm",45.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis.edm",120.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis.edm",1000.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis_LoD_04.edm",10000.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis_LoD_04.edm",20000.000000}, {"MIG-21Bis_LoD_04.edm",50000.000000}, }; collision_shell = "MIG-21Bis_Collision.edm"; } However this will obviousely break the integrity check for online games. I attached screen shots of the bug, please verify and fix. Here is the attachment... WhatsApp Video 2025-03-11 at 12.18.14_b0ddd659.mp4

Dear ED developer, please read this thread for extremely detailed bug report: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/278340-ins-only-ccip-in-the-hornet/

Instead, you should ask, why no noticeable difference in 120 performance before and after the fix.

It is pretty hard to believe on such a new aircraft the radar gunsight is significantly worse than the rest of the system on board of JF-17. Computing power is rarely the limiting factor on modern aircraft. Radar gunsight should be really accurate and in real time. M2k may be too old for that. But JF17 can do much better. Even Xiaomi phones can do all the computation of that in real time.

Just shoot down the friendly first, then the radar will unlock. :music_whistling:

Hi, I find it is quite difficult to lock a target on the MFCD using TDC. You have to press the lock button within in ~0.5 seconds after the radar beam sees the target. After that it won't allow you to lock on it even both me and target is traveling in straight line. It looks like the radar has no or really short memory and no prediction of TWS target when trying to track it.

Hi, in ACM(dogfight) mode, when you locked a target, it cannot be unlocked unless it moves out of the gimbal limit of the radar. You can test it with any ACM radar mode. Take BS mode for example. If you locked a target, switch to BS mode, move target well out of BS circle. Press unlock button. The target cue and BS circle will flash but the same target is still locked. Even if there's another target currently in the BS circle.

Thanks, nice to know what is going on. And even better knowing that dev is working on a fix.

Update, when have a radar track. Then you uncage the IR seeker head. The seeker head will slew to the radar target. But the missile will fly to and hit the target even when the seeker is caged and not locking to a heat source.

Hi, Does the A2A radar gun sight has a significant delay? Or it is not giving the correct lead. I find even when I stationed the reticle right on top of the target for over 3 seconds, all my rounds still fall short. I find it is much easier to hit without using the radar gun sight. Could developer give some comment on the radar gun sight? The radar gun sight on F-14 from 1980s work so much better than the one on JF-17.

Yes, JF-17 is amazing given it is still in beta stage. And Deka has done a lot of work, improving it fast.

Hi, A minor bug: emergency jettison key bind works with button cover closed.

Hi, first of all thank you so much for so many fix! Great work! I noticed that the IR seeker head does not always slew to the radar target and even when the IR seeker of the PL5 is not locked to a radar tracking target (no tone, not locking to any target). The missile will still fly to the radar target and result a hit.

Please not another mig21...

Nice, thank you so much!
