Swordfish

Managed to get it working :D

Playing on the latest 1.5 Beta and I cannot get the Cargo Camera to work at all. I have tried binding it to my stick but no joy, would be helpful with no crew chief to be able to use it!!

I also find the MiG has the worst FPS.

The MiG 21 is not great against the more modern fighters. However I find it an incredibly good module. If you play SP, it is very easy to go up against matched opponents. MP is more difficult but you can make it work. I very much enjoy ground attack in the MiG. It is tough, but very rewarding. There also is not shitloads of buttons and systems to learn, its about flying it well which I enjoy more.

Also getting stutters, especially when things go poof after being hit by a Vikhr.

I also fly with Heading off, makes change flight profile very easy

Confirmed fixed, TY very much! :)

Plse feel free to move to bugs, but I am trying to reach as many people as possible. Atm in the Mig21, using Cntrl+Pause I am reading about 50fps on most missions, around 40FPS during takeoff. This is normally very smooth and playable. Since the latest update for 1.5, I have noticed stutter/lag all the time on the Mig21. FPS still shows 50+ but its very jerky and just not smooth, I was wondering if anyone else had this happening to them. Thanks Fish

I have both. I'd pick the MIG 15 anyday

Also Confirmed

Seemed to solve the problem by editing the mission and actually changing something, not just re-saving it, so I just change my paint scheme. The Datalink works again so far. as for point 5 above, my wingmen always use Vik's first on anything but infantry. Otherwise they are fair points!

I had this, use the wingman. I found he had xray vision for infantry you cant see.

Still having the same issue. Resaved the mission, send targets. Tell to engage, hovers 4m off the ground. Tell to engage again, mission crashes, so cannot even get a track.

I was starting to think it could be something around that after playing the Mig21. I will give it a try.. Thanks for the idea

So im playing Oil war and have to take out some rocket arty. I get the the area, I recon, marking all the targets using the datalink and they show up on the abris. I think go through the pain in the ass of resetting my skhval and weapons and send all of the targets to my wingman. My idea is, I take out all the AA and get him to attack the rockets arty. I tell him to engage data link targets. "unable" I select the target button (im using the square one) and him on the datalink. Send target. Order to engage using option one. "roger" Sinks to 4m AGL and just sits there. Doing nothing. Give order again. Nothing. Try leaving data-link option highlighted. Nothing. Try all engage comms options, same thing unless I pick the 3rd one (f3) which then freezes the game. Im I doing something wrong with the data link? I've tried following the manual. Same as above. Datalink training mission works. Sometimes, occasionally sinks the 4m agl and sits there. Any ideas?

Just fly the Free P51 for a trainer? Or even the 25T? I'm a newbie with DCS, my 1st module was the KA50. I'm glad I went for a module that could deliver combat etc, If I want to fly I can, if I want to shoot stuff I can. I would also bear in mind that you learn what you have, I had no trouble with the KA50 in terms of trim etc as it was the only module I played, so I just picked it up. Of course I'm still learning things but that's part of the joy, im getting plenty out of it, I'm only just using AI wingmen and the datalink properly (which is helping with the dumb AI :D). In the recent sales I also picked up FC3, A10C and the MIG 21. The FC3 A/C are not easy, I agree they don't have the same depth in terms of systems etc but that means you have more time to concentrate on aspects such as weapon deployment, ingress, egress etc. Myself I don't really see what the Hawk and similar training planes offer, at the moment they are SFM (although they will be improved :D) and they are quite expensive, you can fly the P51 all day and its good fun. After getting some flying in I can see your friends buying a new module to shoot stuff.... OFC I might love the Hawk etc if I tried them, but I cant see appeal atm, especially with the Sabre and the MIG 15 being just around the corner, which seem similar in capability.

Hi, Picked up the MIG before xmas, And although I noticed it didn't run as well as other module I didn't really have any problems, with fps above 30 in most cases. After Xmas I started the campaign, I got to the big air battle with bandits from the east. As soon as I see the contrails from my own side, FPS drops to 10 and does not change with GFX settings at all. As soon as move the camera away from the formation, FPS goes up-to around 50. I ran the mission through the editor and reduced the fighter groups by 50%, mission became somewhat playable, though still not great. Made an instant mission with similar number of A/C and performance is much better. I'm running a 8320 @ 4.3ghz. 16gb RAM and a GTX 770 4gb. I know the AMD cpu's are not fab, but i would expect something better, no other module runs quite this bad, but do get down to around fps with busy battles. Any tips on increasing the performance or do I need to wait until EDGE comes out, which will hopefully alleviate my CPU of some of the GFX work.... Would be a shame as the MIG is my favorite module!! Thanks
