I'm not normally the ass-kissing type, but I must say: Excellent work, Leatherneck, on Mig-21 fixes. The radar is working even more realistically than before, the weapons now hit exactly where the piper dictates. RWR now gives you a bit more information. Maybe its just me, but even the R60M seems to track a lot better from side aspects (still no joy form the front aspect). Hydraulic booster works correctly. I still need to test different CM ratios and the SPS-141 pod, or if you can close the cockpit after it's been ripped open by ground crew, but the Mig seems fully functional once more. Sure not all of the problems are fixed: the weapon jettison button covers stay down once they're opened and there are the odd problems with sounds missing here and there, but the Mig is a joy to fly once more. Good job :thumbup:

This makes me excited.

Well MIG-29 is in need of a FM update, since it currently handles like a paper plane :P But other than, FC flight models are quite ok. You SHOULD try it.

Start-up works pretty much the same for all FC3 aircraft, since they are all medium fidelity. Just write this down as I have: R-SHIFT+L -> powers up all the electronics R-CTRL+L -> navigation lights (don't forget to turn off when in air) L -> Turn on instrument lights -------------------- Arm your aircraft ----------------- L-CTRL+C -> Close Canopy -------------------- request start-up form ATC ------ L-SHIFT+F -> Flaps to take-off/landing position R-ALT+HOME -> Start left engine R-CTRL+HOME -> Start right engine R-CTRL + L -> Once for Taxi lights -------------------- Request Taxi to runway ---------- -------------------- Taxi to runway -------------------- -------------------- Request take-off ------------------ R-CTRL + L -> The second time for take-off/landing lights -------------------- Take-off --------------------------- G -> Gear up/down L-CTRL+F -> Flaps up (alternatively you can just use F to toggle) R-CTRL + L -> The third time to turn lights off 1 -> For navigation mode There you go. All set up. You'll obviously need other controls to fight properly. Ralfidude did a decent tutorials on how and what controls to set up for FC3. [ame] [/ame] That's the link to his video. Enjoy.

Calm your tits. It's weekend. I'm sure they don't work on weekends. Either that or they don't have a solution yet. Either way it'll be released when it's ready.

Nice, thanks :D

Looks beautiful. I must ask, however, will there be a flight model update coming with that? Mig-29 currently handles like a paper plane with a jet engine.

It wasn't, I was the pilot locking him. I can however confirm that vs the AI the RWR seems to be working. Will test vs player with Deathbane tomorrow.

It was 5km, not 5 nm. Mig radar works in metric units.

Derp :P

... SO I notice. Wasn't R-77 designed to be launched from Su-27, Mig-29 and Su-33?

I tried to take off an aircraft carrier 2 days ago and the thing wouldn't move even on full afterburner. Also for some reason the Su-33 can only carry R27 and R73, but not R77

Oh, I'm not blaming leatherneck for this. I know ED has been a bit wonky about communicating their changes to their party devs. Still, this doesn't make the Mig-21 any less broken. Yes, it is in singleplayer. :P But I dare not take it out in the next blueflag. Dodging AMRAAMs and finding F-15 with a broken radar isn't my idea of fun.

Perfect as a man-guided missile :P You can power it up and try shooting with it, but... R60M is broken (rear aspect only). Radar is broken (can't see anything useless it's about 30 degrees higher than you). Ground attack piper is broken (it tends to stick itself to the bottom of the hud). Ground crew rips your canopy open if it's closed and you can't close it after. Ailerons aren't controllable without booster. ASO flare pod doesn't work if oyu even touch the flare/chaff sliders. SPS-141 hasn't been fully implemented yet. Piper moves on Missile setting (where gyros should be uncaged), yet for some reason it shows S-24 impact point. Radar beam guidance can't be unlocked once it's locked. And those are just the issues I've noticed. There are plenty more if you check the bugtracker. 1.5.3 really hasn't been kind to this bird.

Looking forward to a time when I can take this old bird for a spin too. Must say that I gave fallen very much in love with it. The fact that she now sits in the hangar breaks my hearth.

I have had problems with ASO pod not working if loaded up with 42 flares and 22 chaff (even though that should be the default ratio). Try it without changing the flare and chaff amount to see if it works.

Hey, I've been keeping an eye on the bugtracker and I can see there are a lot of Issues that have been fixed, yet none of them are mentioned in the incremental patches. Do these fixes just remain unlisted or are you waiting a bit before releasing them? Thank you for your answer.

The RATO boosters are one time use and are meant to be discarded after. Seeing that the are a solid rocket booster I highly doubt the ground crew would refuel them after use, if they were brought back.

Please do. While I'm not generally against a WW2 blue flag some time in the future, currently we are working with what... 4 airplanes? 2 of them are american and 2 are German. None of them are Russian and we are talking about a fight over the Russian theatre. In addition to that there are very few ground assets that can be used for WW2 scenario as most of the assets were made with the cold war era in mind. I would very much like to see blueflak remain the the same era as round 5 was. This era is the most interesting as it allows older aircraft to be used with the new fighters without the fear of ARH missiles splashing you from 20 miles away. Also the current system works well with the early 1980s era and I personally enjoyed it very much. At the end of the day it's the blueflag teams call, but I still believe that moving to WW2 is a bad idea.

These videos are great, but I'm really confused about the RSBN navigation because of inverted needles. Do you need to set the thin needle to the radial you want to intercept or the fat one? How does this change if you want to be going towards or away form the RSBN beacon? I know that video is very long, but would you be willing to make another video now that one (or both, not sure) needle are inverted?

Zdravo, sicer po navadi letim z drugimi (Vodka project, ali pa s prijateljem iz Anglije) samo bi blo fajn, či bi lahko skočil na Slovenski server, ko jih ni online al pa zdaj ko gre izpitno obdobjr proti koncu :D --------------- TL;DR in English I would like to get password to the Slovenian server.

This looks awesome and for that price, I can only hope it all goes well. And the best part: you are in Croatia, which means if I do buy this at any point in the future the shipping time is going to be a couple of days for me :P

Mi-8, Putin demands it!
