  1. This has left on the ground after ejection sequence. Could be double overlapped 3d model?
  2. Also about protection covers:: there could be an option under custom settings.. something like: automate safety covers? This is really awesome product! High5 LS ;) Tx
  3. I have some suggestions too: - more controllable exes, especially throttle rotator, target size, intercept angle, channels.. some volume knobs would be useful too and pylon and weapon type selector could be easily adjusted with only one knob instead of individual position buttons assignment (could be an alternative). Tx
  4. Drop Center Fuel Pod mapping works (RCtrl+PageUp) but it cant be mouse cursor activated right now (cover and button) so no need to lift the cover first. Actually impossible to select with cursor when looking from side. EDIT: It actually works. Yesterday I couldn't click it with cursor, now it works :) just lean sideways.
  5. Center Line Fuel Tank Jettison button seems not to be functional.
  6. Its actually very cool. ;)
  7. Don't know about you guys but this happened to me suddenly and completely without warning:: Just started to get along with Mig21 and decided to try to reach high altitude ceiling limit with clean configuration and internal tank full. Took off using primary afterburner and steadily reached 10k to level up, cooled of a little and then kicked secondary afterburner (3min time limit) and went supersonic, when reached about mach 1.8+ started to climb up at 20-25deg angle and around 100m/s climb rate, at 12.5k trail goes off and speed steadily depletes, climb, climb.. reached 17.5k at mach 0.7, tried to maintain altitude but it seems that engine is underpowered, fine, I reached the ceiling, hit the goal so decided to go back and decent at 50m/s, during decent I started 180deg right turn at 15-20deg bank angle on mil power and started to gain speed, at 15k and under something strange started to happen, my instruments started to double and blur a little bit, then more and more, blackout tunnel started to appear and shrink, no high-G breath sound, just blurred cockpit (at first i thought that graphics drivers went crazy ) but then realized that my pilot is in trouble, I just pulled the throttle to idle and turned 100% oxygen and emergency O2 buttons on seconds before everything went pitch black :sleep: ..... hit F2 an started to pray, there was high chance that this will end in newspapers :shocking: ... plane started decent without control and induced pitch started to make series of up and downs with stalling :bounce:, recovering and randomly banking until sleepy beauty woke up several minutes later at around 4.5k altitude and at speed of around 400 km/h. Luckily plane had enough fuel to return to base and land safely. - What went wrong ??? Astronaut suit missing or some procedure left behind? Any experiences?
  8. it has pressurized cockpit, when you lock it you pressurize it immediately after with secondary mini rod.. even sound goes "wssssssp" :) there must be some high altitude procedure to follow.. Edit - astronaut suit maybe ??? This is important at my point of view: since all other flyable planes have automatic or semi-automatic life support systems and ceiling well below of Mig21 or other high altitude interceptors like Mig25 or Mig31, danger limit for "normal" planes is obviously hard to hit, so is there some "astronaut" procedure or equipment missing here? I'm not sure, did anyone had similar experiences?
  9. that means that I need to jack up the 800L oxygen tank under belly to reach ceiling and stay there for couple of minutes? :) shouldnt it be that this bird has everything set up and ready by default for high altitude flights or I miss the HA suit?

  12. Great DCS edition, I thought this bird will be harder to fly and especially landing, didn't read your manual but managed to land safely every time I tried, just keeping in mind that tires blow up at 360-380 km/h (depends on variant) which I haven't succeeded to blow up yet despite shaky touchdowns. This bird rules at low pass transonic but mastering this bird is longer run though. - where are the liveries, many others are still missing? About Serbian skin at training missions, due to great tribute to Novak Đordjevic must say man did a great job (as rest of dev. team too) so this skin honor probably goes to him but I personally prefer silver red star as default skin being reflection of birth age fashion of this cold war bird. Nevertheless, I thought it will be harder to fly (my only disappointment) the rest is extraordinary perfect except theme song which is little bit midi like. PS "Djoka majstore, jebo sliku svoju al dobro si sastavio ovu kantu, šteta sta si srbin, al svejedno kad te vidin imaš rajku na moj račun ;)"
  13. F uck yeah! quote by Team America :D
  14. F-104 Starfighter - Not because its easy but because its hard! :D
  15. Well, this reduces flanker's vital combat survivability cos sometimes can't say is it of or on after intense dogfight, especially if continuing on IR scan mode and also glowing up like Christmas tree. Hope that this will be fixed soon. thx for reply people.
  16. DCS: FC3; Su-27 ECM right side console light not functional, not blinking not steady? Bug???
