Flaring is not something you want to do in a delta wing aircraft. Flaring means entering ground effect and bleeding off airspeed below stall speed then settling down on the runway. In a delta wing you FLY the aircraft to the runway, if you flare the Mig your nose will be too high and the stall will kill you.

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone out there flies real airplanes? I have a commercial/multi-engine and instrument rating and found the Mig-21 VERY hard to fly. If you can land this thing on the sim I'd fly with any of you any day. I've noticed I have to come in shallow and fast. Most of the flight simming I've done is on FSX and mostly commercial aircraft. Flying delta wings is a whole new can of worms. If you are looking for a good text on aerodynamics look no further than Aerodynamics for naval aviators. Its pretty dense but will give you a solid foundation on how these things work.

Hello All, I've just barely learned to fly this helicopter and decided to try out a mission. I noticed that my joystick and keyboard would not work in the missions, both instant action and campaigns. I am able to use all functions in the training scenarios, and my software is all up to date. Thanks
