Hi Cibit, Thanks for the response, it's very much appreciated! I have to admit, I considered doing that, but wasn't sure how the translation would go, or (more importantly) where to make a new thread in the Russian forum (it was hard enough finding the right English forum thread!). If anyone can recommend a particular thread, I'm certainly happy to drop in an internet translated copy of my first post. Thanks. Adam.

Hello all, I'm new to the DCS community and am seeking some support. I have a MiG-21 related post at the following link that I would like to draw your attention to. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=131285 We are seeking some research/information support, and hopefully the MiG simulation community can assist. Kind regards, Adam.

Hello all DCS fans, The purpose of this thread is to seek DCS community support in identifying a suitable person(s) to assist with a research project that relates to a publication I am involved with. This publication is a historical book that documents Soviet and Russian aircraft losses from 1979 to the present day. I am specifically finalising research on Soviet Aircraft losses during the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-1989), and am seeking a suitable Russian speaking person to undertake research for us. We have a particular interest in exploring the circumstances surrounding the 12 November 1985 shooting down (SA-7 manpad) of Major General Vlasov while flying a MiG-21Bis in Afghanistan. We are after any Russian language references, detailed crash report translations, and photographs are welcomed too. The timely release of DCS MiG-21 Bis (apologies I haven't actually used this software) looks like a great opportunity to leverage this community's insight into this aircraft, noting the relevance to our project. Should anyone be interested, or might be able to recommend someone, we would be happy to discuss funding any research time. We were hoping to publish our work late last year, but we made a decision to defer with the ongoing Ukrainian confrontation. This has allowed us to revisit earlier parts of the book in more detail (where appropriate). My apologies if this post is not made in the correct area. I have registered an account for the sole purpose of seeking this assistance. Regards, Adam H adam.higgins1978@gmail.com
