Colseg there is an error with this mod and the latest beta release. When installed DCS BETA wont launch, showing an error in the log that sais something that the moded file is trying to make some change to DCS, cant remember exactly. DCS launches fine when the mod is uninstalled. Would be grate to have it working when the new patch is released out of beta. This mod should be officially part of and delivered with de Mig-21 module.

Making my post right: Max range speed (IAS): 690 km/h under 500m 620 km/h at 5000m 510 km/h at 10000m Max. endurance speed: 480 km/h Source: English mig-21bis export version manual.

Slightly off topic: Do you know of what is made the nosecone? WOOD. Yes, laminated wood to prevent interference with the radar. Quite impressive how its made so symmetrical and how it can handle so much friction and heat. Only the small tip is made of metal:

In game at 6000 m you will need: 300 / 350 L / 100 km at 700 IAS (75-85% power) 1600 L / 100 km at max speed with AFT. A value in between with military (100%) power. I choose my speed based in fuel left, distance to go and objetives urgency. Always calculate your bingo.

As far as I remember from original MIG 21 manual: Max range IAS: aproximate 700 km/h. This value is almost independent from weight, loadout and altitud. Of course at the same ias range increases with altitud (aprox. 20 to 40% at 6000 m and 10000m, maybe moré). Max in air time IAS: around 480 km/h. This IAS value do varíes with different weight and altitudes. I posted the table somewhere.

Grate Colseg, thanks!!

Wolfk made the bug cristal clear. Other memeber of my squad with the TMW hotas has the same problem with this mod. After a full windows and DCS reinstall it persist, TDC (O and L keys) is not responsive when mapped to the joystick. Please Corseg take a look when you can. Thanks.

Solved. 1)Deleted saved games mig 21 profile. 2) Repaired DCS Made the key bindings again. Will try what happens with Corsed mod.

Do you mind telling how you solve this? I have the same problem using Colseg key binding mod. Thanks.

Is there a black cloud also? I found its happens "randomly" when turning off AFT, it might be associated with moving too fast the throttle or another unknown condition. Its not related with Jatto.

--SOLVED-- But I cant use this mode and make the TDC (O and L keys) work on the joystick at the same time. Colseg I have a problem binding de O and L keys to the TM Warthog with this mod since the last Mig 21 beta. I can bind the same function witch is abailable for joystick binding (just on the next line of the keys O & L functions) but its not working on the game, I have to use O and L keys. Tried your latest update but the same problem persist. I deleted the saved games folder and made the bindings again but the problem persist. Really like this mode, should be part of the official Mig 21 Module. Thanks for your help, Jorge.

I did not check that. Will try again, but I now remember the nose cone needle was stuck in the full open (back) position. The lack of power was clearly felt at low speeds also, where nose cone should either way be fully open (like when taking off). So there should not be any difference in power at low speed with nose cone off (retracted= open).

The bug is still pressent with the latest patch. After rearming and repairing the mig reacts as it has at least 40-50 percent less power or the airbreaks on. Yesterday in MP it happened to all 5 migs in the mission. The plane loaded wont mantain 500 km/h IAS without AFT and almost wont climb. With emergenci AFT it could maintain 700 km/h IAS.

Well before the patch this Sau mode worked as the Path autopilot mode in the A10c. Very usefull but I dont know if it was realistic. Now it only makes the mig bank right a few degrees and then pitch angel starts changing slowly, i cant find any use to it.

FPS are MUCH better in the last beta release. Tried it in MP with 3 to 5 Migs and we all could fly OK. FPS might already be at the same lever of the other modules. Thanks LN.

The bug seems to be already fixed in the beta release, IAS indicator is OK and the wind "push" the plane in the right direction. Will do more testing. Thanks Novak & LN team!

Thanks Cobra. It's good to acknowledge its a known error and that Novac will work on it.

Thanks for the ETA Cobra. Any news on the wind completely messing the AFM? ( http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=131919).

Colseg could you add a "two" position switch for IR and SAHR misile type selector? Just keeping out the neutral option. We dont have so many three position switch es in the TM W. It would also be nice to have a two position switch working for on and off landing lights. Thanks.

The point of the post is to make the Devs aware of this big flaw in the flight model. It actually can hover like a Helicopter. The problem is much bigger than the error with climbing speed and cruise speed at medium to high altitude (the module cant mach, by far, the real manual data). Its not necessary here to make clear the significance of wind and climate in flying physics and in a simulator like DCS. Flying with strong wind makes the actual AFM feel like a pre-alfa testing FM, not like a small beta bug, try it yourself. I hope this din't "slipped past" the Devs and that it's some kind of new bug with the last patch and is easy to fix. I hope that the person who developed the flying physics for the Mig took the wind variable into his calculations.

I think I red that, it looks like any wind interaction with the flight model is heavily bugged, being more obvious at extreme windy conditions (like being able to fly BACKWARDS into the wind...).

(To any moderator, please correct the title, change Wing for Wind, thanks.) There is something really bad with IAS instrument and Flying physics with wind. I was trying the Mig in bad weather conditions and when turned to final I found IAS was about 300 km/h but the plane was maneuvering as it had an IAS of 380 km/h. Pitot error I thought at first. But no, it looked as I had heavy head wind and IAS was showing a speed similiar to ground speed without taking into account the wind. Thinking there was a bug with IAS instrument not calculating wind speed I made a mission with clear weather and 20 to 50 m/s (40 to 100 knots) wind to see what happens. As expected with this new bug, trying to land with head wind of 30 m/s I was on final with 250 km/h ground speed and 250 km/h IAS when it should be arround 350 km/h IAS. OK, confirmed the bug. Then I tried to land in the opposite runway, with tail wind, expecting a ground speed and IAS of 450 km/h (when IAS should be 350 km/h). Something very strange happened then, the plane was maneuvering again as it had heavy head wind, but with tail wind! On final and with 30m/s wind from behind It was approaching steady at 200 km/h ground speed and 150 km/h IAS!! Made another mission with more wind, 50m/s this time. The plane could almost maintain a hover with head wind with and IAS of 30 to 150 km/h and again the strangest thing: the plane could maintain the same hover with tail wind!!! (So actually flying with negative IAS). With wind coming from the sides the same hover but with great roll instability (hovering over a same place, with heavy side wind and withot any latteral displacement of the Mig). There is something wrong with flying physics and wind. This is easy to reproduce but I'm attaching 2 tracks just in case. For now, don't trust your IAS in a windy day and don't fly in stormy weather.

Well, definition of bingo fuel varies, basic concept is that it's the remaining fuel at which you should stop the operation and the return home, as specified in the flight plan. In this mission situation if you want bingo to be enough to cruise to alternate you will be under bingo fuel before taking off... Here Gudauta is an enemy base protected by AD and from where enemy patrols are operating, not an alternate. Hope you liked the mission.

Good video Astiles, gracias por compartirlo.

Excellent update Cobra and great communication with the community. Hope we see it soon!
