Some Calculations about the problem Hi there, as promised, I did some easy calculations and experiments. The full documentation can be found in the appendix of this post. The conclusion is that the engine of the MiG-21Bis seems to be underpowered in DCS while the Mirage 2000Cs' engine is overpowered compared to their real abilities. For more detail have a look at my research. If nobody has done it already I try to submit the problem on Mantis, although I have no track files of my experiments. As later proofed by GGTharos is my method not only very inaccurate, I used the engine thrust as a constant, which is wrong, because it is depending on the pressure and airspeed. Due to this fact, I removed the obsolete document. :music_whistling::smilewink:

Okey, I'll summarize the data here and add some calculations and experiments in an hour, if nobody is quicker than me ;)

I don't know what you are talking about, the MiG-21 was less agile with a better acceleration than an F-5. The reason why some MiGs or Tigers are better than many F-15s or Su-27s is, that those aircraft are sort of beginner aircrafts, because they are cheap, easy and very powerful. So a majority of the pilots which fly F-15 or Su-27 often only "spamraam" but are not able to dodge enemy missiles or aren't performing well in a BFM, so they are easy targets for an experienced MiG pilot. But anyway, this discussion is off topic.

I feel the same about the new flight model. The Fishbed should be able to gain quickly new energy, but now I am not able to accelerate further than 650 km/h at 1000m ASL with 100% thrust in level flight, this is from my perspective quite confusing. Another behaviour, when I perform a slight turn with 15° bank I'll loose up to 100 km/h of speed at 4000m ASL, thats far too much. When I compare it to a M2000C (I know this is an a bit unfair comparison) with which I am able to maintain a speed of 460 knots (870km/h) at 9800 feet ( 3000m) with 75% thrust, the flightmodel of the MiG-21 seems to be underpowered. A Year ago, when I bought the module, the Fishbed was by far more powerful. P.s. Please forgive me my bad English and my arguments, which consist only of feelings... I may add later some calculations and more precise arguments.

Actually yes, I don't have the controlbox in 1.5 aswell. So then it is another bug, has anyone already reported it yet?

Hi Hexypu, the controlbox of the UPK-23 should be attached at the canopy over the HUD, like any controlbox in the MiG-21. But if you set the gunpod, SPS-141 or a nuke in the editor, the controlbox will not appear, cause of a bug which will be patched sometimes. To get the controlbox you should rearm your aircraft at the airport over the communications menu. I hope I was able to help you

I think he means the disapeared page nr. 355 which existed an hour ago and was deleted because someone posted an inappropriate advertisement. :music_whistling:
