lmp Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 The SPS-141 version used by the MiG-21 (which AFAIK is different from the SPS-141 we have now for the Su-25) has ASO-21 chaff/flare dispensers.

swe_badger Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 We have both the SPS-141-100 pod (centerline pod) and ASO-2 (bolt on, rear fuselage) dispensers. Good news! I have a related question, since there are a lot of different munitions and loadouts that many of us aren't familiar with, will there be some short information about them in the manual or in the DCS encyclopaedia maybe?

Zakatak Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Wait, the MiG-21 has ZERO countermeasures built in?!
Oesau Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Wait, the MiG-21 has ZERO countermeasures built in?! Common (and expected) for an aircraft of that period unless a retro fit was done as part of a modernization program (and the MiG-21 has fairly limited internal space to work with).
NRG-Vampire Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Not a fan of the MiG-23 but I'll probably buy it to support Leatherneck. I'm hoping for the MLD version which should be somewhat competitive against the Flaming Cliffs 3 fighters. I believe they can mount R-77's, but that was for testing and enough data might not be available. ML/MF versions were more widely used so i think those variants would be a better choice cockpits: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Czechoslovakia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-23ML/0918861/L/&sid=ad1e70bbf2c949a3be6380fd20bd4e56 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Bulgaria---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-23MF/1415799/L/&sid=6282923f003711c3da1bd4f74d92f69f

The set up just looks like a messy flustercuck, lots of plumbing is visible, the turquoise is hideous, the visibilty is meh, just icky all around. Western cockpits are just so much nicer to look at. Though I do prefer using the metric system which is a bonus for these birds. Edited June 20, 2014 by Zakatak
Sparker Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I want to fly MiG-21 so much that I made my own MiG-21 in Kerbal Space Program with jet assisted take off and semi-guided rockets :lol: :pilotfly: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
uboats Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I forget which update this was stated in, but yes: The next release will be 1.3.0. 1.2.9 is being skipped because the addition of EDGE warrants increasing the version number from 1.2 to 1.3.

Grim_Smiles Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Wait, the MiG-21 has ZERO countermeasures built in?! Appears so, but at least with a bolt-on we'll still have them without being required to carry a centerline pod. ML/MF versions were more widely used so i think those variants would be a better choice While I'd love to have one that could carry R-77s, I agree that most likely we'd receive an ML/MF, probably a 100 times easier to find the data compared to MLD. If there is one thing I'm not looking forward to in the MiG-21 and 23, and it pretty much is the only thing I'm not looking forward to, it's those cockpit designs. The set up just looks like a messy flustercuck, lots of plumbing is visible, the turquoise is hideous, the visibilty is meh, just icky all around. I can get used to the lay out, but I will admit I've never really liked the color I've seen on these either. Ricardo's cockpit for the Blackshark has been the only cockpit of that color I've actually liked. I get that the Russians had their reasons for it, but just never really cared for it. Though I do prefer using the metric system which is a bonus for these birds. -Image Removed- Edited June 21, 2014 by SkateZilla -Image Removed- "Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky; With hideous ruin and combustion down; To bottomless perdition, there to dwell; In adamantine chains and penal fire" (RIG info is outdated, will update at some point) i5 @3.7GHz (OC to 4.1), 16GB DDR3, Nvidia GTX 970 4GB, TrackIR 5 & TrackClip Pro, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder Mk.IV, Razer Blackshark Headset, Obutto Ozone
Cobra847 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Can you tell us about the RWR? SPO-10 Sirena, fairly limited device, as expected. It's well described in the manual. :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Paradox Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 SPO-10 Sirena, fairly limited device, as expected. It's well described in the manual. :) Any chance of seeing that manual?
Dudikoff Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 SPO-10 Sirena, fairly limited device, as expected. It's well described in the manual. :) Do you have the information on which MiG-21bis operators used the ASO-2I dispensers and from when? I thought that the Soviet Union used it on the 21s only for the Afghanistan deployment.. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
lmp Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Dunno about the standalone ASO-2Is, but I know of at least one incident where a Polish MiG-21R fired chaff from ASO-2I installed in a recon pod after being intercepted over the Baltic by a NATO or Swedish fighter.

Art-J Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 But If the plane is probably being tested/incorporated by ED guys as we speak, then neither Cobra nor other LS members can do much about it now, or give estimated release dates for that matter. I'd say these are questions to Wags rather then Cobra. Asking about flight manual release, for example, seems to make more sense - reading it carefully before even touching the flight stick is always a good idea :D, plus, the plan was to release it before the plane itself. So, how's the manual going? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
