Hello! In orded to avoid further confusion I've decided to translate the parts concerning the weapons selector knob as well as some other things. The translation is as accurate and word for word as I can get. "233. If the airplane is equipped only with guided missiles with infrared homing or with only R-3R missiles, then the order of their firing and the number of simultaneously fired missiles is selected through the weapon selector knob set in the proper position (positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are meant for single launches, positions 1-2 and 3-4 for salvo in two launches, from their respective hardpoints.) Attention. When setting the weapons selecotor knob in the setting 1 launch is executed in order 1, 2, 3 and 4. If setting the same switch in position 2, in order 2, 1, 3 and 4, in position 3 in order 3, 4, 1 and 2, and in position 4 in order 4, 1, 2 and 3. (...) 237. If the airplane is loaded with infrared seeking missiles and R-3R, then their order of launching is determined through the postions of the "IR - NEUTRAL - SARH" switch (while launching infrared homing missiles it should be set to "IR", when launching R-3R missiles it should be set to "SARH"). If the switch is set to "IR", then after each push of the launch button the infrared missiles are the first to be launched, followed by R-3R missiles (in order 1, 2, 3 and 4). While set in "SARH", after each push of the launch button, the first to be launched are R-3R missiles, followed by the infrared ones (in order 3, 4, 1 and 2) if the weapon selector knob is set into position corresponding to single launches. If the weapons selector knob is set to salvo fire, then the order of launch is determined by the setting of "IR - NEUTRAL - SARH" switch. I've highlited the most interesting parts. It seems perfectly rational to have an automatic selection of the next pylon after firing one of the homing missiles. I can imagine that fiddling with a switch while in a hard fight with an enemy fighter could be very troublesome, so this would be a very needed feature in the real plane, and in DCS also!

I appreciate your help @simapajik, but this isn't excactly what I've had in mind.

Hello! I have a question concerning the pylon and weapon selector knob. According to my Polish copy of the users manual of the MiG-21bis: if the aircraft is armed with only R-3S or with only R-3R guided missiles, then when the knob is set to: - position 1, firing is in this order: 1, 2, 3, 4 - position 2, firing is in this order: 2, 1, 3, 4 - position 3, firing is in this order: 3, 4, 1, 2, - position 4, firing is in this order: 4, 1, 2, 3. This doesn't seem to be the case in the model in DCS. After firing from one pylon I have to manually turn the knob to the other one. According to my instruction that shouldn't be the case. Also positions 1-2, and 3-4 are said to be for salvo fire. Am I doing something wrong or maybe this is a bug/feature? Is it okay to post any additional questions concerning the weapon selector knob in this thread? Any thoughts? P.S. I'm on a mission to thoroughly check if the MiG-21 acts as said in this book, so it probably isn't my last post with some questions. :music_whistling:

MiG-23MF for me! It had many operators throughout the world, more than any other version perhaps?

I'm terribly sorry, in my previous post I meant alt+enter. Sorry for the confusion. Hope maybe this will help you.

Hello! Recently I was having some terrible FPS and mouse stutter issues. I was having really low FPS and mouse look in cockpit and the outside view was practically unusuable. The simulation became unplayable. I was trying to modify the graphics settings, using the lowest, medium settings and trying evey intermediate option to try to find the cause of my problems. None of this seemed to help. After hours of messing around I've managed to find a solution: pressing alt+enter. It worked wonders! Evet at high graphics setting I've got really smooth gameplay and really smooth mouse look. However, after some time the problems seem to come back, not as bad as before and doing the alt+enter trick helps to bring things back into order. So my question for the devs is this: could you look deeper into this? Maybe it will solve problems that many us users are having from what I cam see. It seems funny that such a simple thing can do such an improvement. My PC specs are: Windows 10, AMD FX-4170 4,2 GHz, GF GTX-660 (364.51 drivers), 8 GB RAM, HDD, I'm playing in full screen @ 1280x1024 resolution. Have a nice day!

As said before - really looking forward to this - it has potential to be the most unique skin for the MiG-21! I hope you haven't abandoned this project. :music_whistling: BTW: first post, yay!
