Mig-21 stick layout?

[Scrim]

I've looked on Google, but been unable to find anything, and I reckon someone here knows it: How does the Mig-21 stick look (buttons, switches all around it) and what do the different buttons and such do?

[xxJohnxx]

Trying to explain it:

Backside:

- Gun trigger. It has 3 positions: up - safe, down - armed and depressed - fire.

- Bellytank drop. The pinkyswitch is used to drop the central fueltank.

- Wheelbrake. A leaver used to controll the wheelbrakes.

 

Front:

- Trimmer (up/down).

- Autopilot recovery mode button

- Autopilot disconnect button

- Radarlock button

- Weapon Trigger

 

That's all. Nothing fancy, just some basic stuff.

Cheers for the info!

 

I don't suppose it's possible to buy such a stick for a PC anywhere?

xxJohnxx and WoAyumi have somewhat different answers. Can someone confirm if one of them is correct? What is on the throttle would be nice to know as well.

Cheers for the info!

I don't think anyone has actually recreated this stick, but pretty much all HOTAS setups over a hundred bucks should do the trick. Looks pretty simple, much more so than the A-10C or Ka-50.

Decided to Google search it, someone asked this question on this forum awhile ago. Can't quote it due to old MiG-21 forum being locked, but I'll copy and paste what Beczl said.

For stick:

 

 

1. Gun trigger (upward position – SAFE, downward position – ARMED, pulled – FIRE)

2. Trimmer button (pitch only)

3. Autopilot “recovery” mode engage button

4. Autopilot disengage button

5. Radar lock-on button (also piper stabilization when using ASP optical sight)

6. Bomb, rockets, missiles fire button (under visible red cap)

7. Ejection handle

8. Gear brake lever

9. Fuselage (center) fuel tank jettison button

 

EDIT: Explaining Recovery mode. Early manuals used "levelling" instead of "recovering."

 

 

For throttle:

 

 

1. Multi function throttle rotator (TDC up-down and/or ASP pipper size)

2. Radio PTT button

3. Airbrake in/out

4. Throttle fixator

looks like CH should do the trick ;)

I've got the Warthog stick, but if I can find a -21 stick, that'd be great. I still remember how great it felt the first time I started DCS A-10C with the matching stick and throttle. There's nothing quite like it.

Here's the stick page as it appears in the manual

thanks cobra, it would be awesome to see a company like Thrustmaster make a "HOTAS MiG"

Thanks Cobra. Wainting here to configure my stick and take off!!

 

PS: If backer arent getting the Mig one week early at first stated I hope at least we are getting it at the same time than new clients, just a note.

[WildBillKelsoe]

fortunately I got CH pro throttle and fighterstick so it should be a walk in the park for me...

[Sceptre]

Nice Google search......

[J7G]

Wasn't there somebody last year gauging interest in a stick mod to convert into a MiG...29 I think it was stick?

[JaNk0]

Well, it doesn't look like a Mig-21 stick, so I'm guessing it's a replica of another Mig stick?

[Sceptre]

looks like a black version of the Su-35 stick.... but it's sold out :(

[JaNk0]

Yeah, sorry. It's not mig-21 nor mig at all...but it was (sold out atm) an alternative to the A-10 stick
