I think the op may not be setting his throttle properly. I usually set it and then see what the airspeed indicator does. You get long enough with the captions to spend some time getting it right. As I remember there are several ai aircraft in the tutorial but the target drones spawn in with a bit of delay after the instructor caption. Since you could set airspeed over a wide range I wouldn't be surprised if the targets appear relative to your mig rather than at a set spot on the map. Anyway, hope the op works it out.

OP - How are you measuring takeoff distance? If this is to be investigated properly we need to know loadout, fuel, weather, which airbase etc. Perhaps post the mission you are using. Also your pilot friends need to provide similar info. Then we might get somewhere.

Don't disrespect the milk thread! We had the glass bottles too. Usually the birds got to them before the milk monitor. At least we had straws.

Try tasting your new milk. If you happen to like it, then that's good. If not, well, you've wasted the price of a beer, probably. When I was five we used to get milk delivered to school. Freezing cold in winter and warm in the summer. Mmmmm. Love that warm milk.

Great update. Thanks to all at LN for the Mig 21. Wallet primed for next release...

So this behaviour is the opposite of the autopilot increasing pitch as speed decays, then.

Thanks for the reply Art J. I found my problem earlier and as you said, I was doing something wrong. I now realise it helps to use the ARC tuner not one of the others in the cockpit. I'd had problems when the arc was bugged and not bothered with it since. RTFM is a good idea.

I'm working through the Mig training missions again and I'm still having problems with the ARC. I went through the mission and received the instruction to turn to 090 after takeoff and then picked up the morse for station 3 but soon lost the signal. I turned as instructed to 270 and then tried to fly over the station but the needle took me out to station 1 on the coast. I tried changing the channel but kept hearing the same morse signal and the needle kept pointing to station 1. Overflying the station the needle swung as expected. Anyone else got this working, please? I may be doing something silly but I'm sure I had ARC selected and the ARC volume control worked ok.

Not professional, but I think the Mig 21 is very well done and thoroughly enjoyable as it is. There have been bug fixes since release and performance is much better for most (all?) users. Compared to the A10 - I prefer the Mig. Your opinion may vary!

All fixed in 1.2.11. Thanks!

The clues have been too obvious. I'd like an F-14, though.

I don't have any AV apart from Windows Defender. Sounds like you have a similar problem and your system should be at least 10% quicker than mine in DCS (probably much more). I'm also wondering about disk access - I didn't look at what the HDD was doing. Maybe someone from LN might comment, please.

I've looked at this some more and used OpenHardwareMonitor to see what's going on. Armed only with a stopwatch and a pencil, this is what I've found... First, load time on my system for the instant action free flight mission is around 1.15 until the 'fly' screen comes up. After pressing 'fly' the 3d cockpit view comes up and hangs for 12 seconds then starts at a steady 45 fps and does the unzoom thing. During the pause OHM noted that core 1 load peaked at 100%. GPU core figure was around 95% for the whole mission, with a few dips. Nothing else (ram, gpu ram, temps) showed anything unusual. Curiously, when the sim paused for 6 seconds as I stalled (steep bank and stick back) OHM showed nothing. I'll do some more investigation, but looks like my CPU is really showing it's age!

Hi Rico, The loading is longer than usual, yes, but it's the pause in the 3d world that is unusual. The pause when stalling usually ends up in a crash, so I've not been able to repeat it in a mission. I'll try starting much higher and see what happens. I'm using HDD. Edit: Just spent some time in the instant action Free Flight mision and noted the pause after loading until the 3d world starts to unzoom at around 11 seconds. Stalling, it's worse the first time, about five seconds, but still around 1 second pauses for each stall after in my first try. In the next mission a similar pause at the first stall and none for the next few. BTW, in f3 view watching the mig tumble when it's properly stalling looks very real.

Before I post a bug report, I'd like to find if it's just me... First - When loading a mission the game will freeze for several seconds before doing the usual unzoom. I think others have reported this. Second - Although I am a superior sim pilot even I sometimes get into a stall (I know, hard to believe). I find the sim will pause for several seconds as the stall happens (as if the sim is loading a 'stall fm') before returning to smooth fps, the aircraft having jumped position as though it was still moving while the screen was frozen. Hope that makes sense. My old rig runs a C2D E8400 at 3ghz, 8gb ram, gtx650ti 2gb gpu. The mig is the only module where this happens. Thanks!

There's slight damage to the left wing tip which indicates it survived a flight reasonably well. What happens if it takes off from a treadmill?

Good point. Kinda weird, no?

IRL untrimmed control forces get tiring quite quickly.

Any changes to the Mig-21 in the new 1.29 update? Edit: Just took a quick look and the cockpit texture bug is still there, so maybe not.

Hi Leafer - the Mig 21 (and Mig 15 and F86) show up in the normal aircraft list and can be tweaked in the same way as any other AI or player aircraft. If those aircraft are not showing up then perhaps check your version and/or repair?

I found the same with a 2 vs 2 head on. It took a little while but both Sabres went down and didn't fire a shot. Looks real good, though.

Thanks!

It was a pleasant surprise!

I'm not seeing any weapons in the loadout screen. Anyone else? I set up a 4 x '21 vs 2 x F15, guns only, and the migs didn't fire their guns. I'm sure at least one should have. The F15's certainly did. Turn rates looked similar, btw.

Has anyone watched the AI shut down after flight? BTW I get the texture error too.
