Jonne

Unfortunetaly with the mission running on yesterdays evening, I had a total of 5 DCS complete freezes in about 30 minutes without them creating any logs and that on brand new hardware. Really unfortunate, as this could have been a fun flight with all those pilots around.

https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/historical_declination/ Hier kann man die Änderung der Variation ganz gut nachvollziehen. Soweit mir bekannt, ändert DCS die Abweichung mit dem Missionsjahr.

Amazingly absolutely none of the above is either true or a problem with the module. :doh:

Were they actually used on the MiG-21 or just the same calibre?

JG-1_Jonne - MiG-21

Die Bordkanone hat einen Rückstoß größer als der maximale Schub eines der beiden Triebwerke. Damit bremst es sich schon ganz ordentlich.

Do not try to compare flying a Cessna with a MiG. While it may be perfectly safe and easy to stall a GA prop, you would not do it in a Fighter or even Airliner on purpose, as they are a lot less predictable.

Why that? A lot of turbine aircraft are capable of doing that. Have seen L-29 using a gras strip myself. Most eastern aircraft were capable of doing that. Here is a neat video of some Hungarian MiG-21 on a gras airfield:

What other issues than the stall behavior are there with the FM?

Das ist mir neu. Gab aber einen Unfall mit einer 737, bei der die Benutzung der Schubumkehr als Push-Back in einem Schneesturm ein beitragender Faktor war.

Dont forget the Yak-28 which was pretty common on this map in the 70s.

https://www.ww2.dk/new/newindex.htm This is also a good starting point, although a bit confusing. But I did not find any other MiG-21's than Кош did.

Ja das Visier der MiG-21 arbeitet in DCS zum großteil mit Magie (oder Maggie?). Bomben sollten im automatischen Modus gar nicht funktionieren. Einen unterschied zwischen Radar an und aus habe ich auch nicht gefunden.

Entweder für starkes ECM im Luftkampf oder für die Entfernungsmessung bei Angriff auf Bodenziele mit Raketen oder Bordgeschütz (nicht Bomben!).

Hier mal die Erklärung aus einem anderen Forum.

Die Grom konnte an der bis nicht eingesetzt werden, da das Radar diese nicht steuern kann. Gleiches gilt für die RS-2US. Mit der kommenden MiG-23MLA müsste es aber gehen.

Only bombs do that and they should do that on pretty much every aircraft in game although it seems its only modelled on the 21.

But other aircraft have very different quirks the MiG does not have. It is for example not possible to damage the airframe by pulling too hard or going too fast. You will also not get compressor stalls in any situation with it like the Viggen. Stall is very easily recovarable and the view with a cleaned canopy is better than a F-14. You might say learning to fly the MiG is hard, but mastering for me is a step above that and in that it is pretty easy.

Do you actually fly that thing or is that just your assumption? The MiG-21 was known for beeing easy to fly compared to all other supersonic aircraft of the time and due to the good flight model this is neatly simulated in DCS. If you get used to not idling on the threshold and avoiding negative g for prolonged times, there is nothing else to bite you no matter how hard you throw the stick around. Now beeing hard to master, I would throw in the MiG-15. While it is basically easy to fly, approaching maximum speed before loss of roll control needs a lot of attention and training. Without proper pre-planing of manevours you will lose control easily. Additionally aiming with two different gun types is hard. Personally I find the MiG-29 and F-14B also pretty hard to master as both are really agile and fast aircraft but without FBW protecting you.

SPS is on by default. In the MiG-21bis all on/off-switches are on if either up or forward depending on the location.

Is there still a way of launching this from the source code? Would like to edit the db.py as in the versions before.

Ist richtig so. Schau nur, dass du vorher schon genau weißt wann du wie Klappen und Fahrwerk einfährst. Mit den Raketen hast du quasi Zeit für nichts.

No, it does not disappear but it is rather swinging itself up with every oscillation.

The behaviour seems to have been broken with one of the last patches. I was just about to make a thread when I saw this one. Was doing the ground attack quick start mission yesterday and tried to use the recovery while level to set up the systems. However even beginning perfectly trimmed, the SAU starts inducing oscillations until the plane just simply stalls out of the air. Maybe I can add a track this evening.
