At least every time I looked, the server was flooded with Hornets and all server slots were taken, so there was no possibility for RED to stack up. I was only able to join once Friday evening. Might have also not helped, that sometimes half of the RED team consisted of Mi-8 and Yak-52.

Das ist doch die MiG-21 in dem Video?!

Most of the campaign still seems to work with 2.5. Actually the only bugs I have encountered yet are, that the NATO forces have no faction and that the pop up mission briefing is to long to be fully displayed.

Nein, leider hilft dies nicht. Auch wenn die Yak-52 tatsächlich recht lange braucht um warm zu werden, die DCS Yak-52 kam bei mir bisher nie über den gelben bereich hinaus.

So that would mean on the ramp you would only use the 28V DC? Because that is what I am seeing on pictures of MiG-21 on the ground. I have yet to find a single picture with the second connector attached to the aircraft, but it surely would be done for maintenance.

That is a nice picture. I was looking for that, but could not find any picture with more then one connection to the airplane. So do you need AC connected for the radar to work on the ground?

I do have that one, but it does not really describe the electrics.

AFAIK the MiG-21 gets 28V ground power only. The Radar should be running on one of the PO-750A inverters, which I assume is only powered when the generator or ground power is connected, but not the battery. However these are more my assumptions, then the truth, as my Russian is still not good enough for fully understanding the manuals.

Ein abgenutztes russisches Cockpit mit sauberen Scheiben wäre mir eigentlich lieber, aber eventuell lässt sich da ja was basteln.

Die verschobenen Instrumente sind ein ziemlich bekannter Fehler, der einfach zu beheben ist: Stelle in den Optionen die Sprache des Cockpits um und lade irgendeine Mission mit der -21. Danach wieder zurück auf deine gewünschte Sprache und es sollte gehen. Zu den Scheinwerfern kann ich leider nichts sagen.

Thats an aerobatic Yak-52 on the airport at Bolshoye-Gryzlovo (FINAM aerodrome). Have actually seen them flying there. BTT this is not really comparable to a combat airplane.

Then take a look at the Manual (the real one) and try to do anything described in there with the ASP. Air-Air missiles do not really use the ASP at all, if you do not activate the arcade mode for IR, so I do not understand what can be accurate with that.

Serious question? If so a little list out of my head: -SARH missiles do not work at all -The SPO-10 should still indicate a direction when locked, which it does not -The ASP is a complete mess I can not really judge the FM.

This is the way I know it, even on trainers.

I would have been suprised if there would not have been any part switches between the two versions. Either the museum put anything on they had, or the NVA only had one type of spares for their MiG-21bis.

And this is not how it is supposed to work, but you are right. I wonder if on the real altimeter you can zero it by pulling/pushing the knob, but there is for sure no magic automatic QNH input to the altimeter.

Sorry, but I have to correct you. The triangles show the difference of the altimeter setting to 760mmHg (standard) converted to m. In this particular case, the altimeter is set to 767mmHg therefore the difference is -60m (as on the outer triangle). Now looking at the screenshot more closely the inner triangle seems to be incorrect, or maybe there is a function in settings above 760mmHg that I do not know.

Hello, something that is disturbing me everytime when I use the mission editor, is that some of the flyable planes and helicopters tend to pop up for every country. The C-101 also appears for every role although being unarmed. I know that the AI vehicles, planes, ships etc. can be easily designated by changing the db_countries.lua. Is there also a solution for the addon planes? At least for the roles there needs to be some file, as for most planes these are done right.

How would I love a Vietnam campaign... But honestly I really do not care too much about real country names, as long as they are not sounding childish (The MiG-21bis campaign is one really bad example here) . However what really kills a campaign or mission for me is the wild mixing of all planes and vehicles along both sides. A russian A-10 is for example a total killer for me, in a way I would like to throw up on my keyboard. The funny thing is, 5 years ago nobody would have cared at all about not using real country names...
