#07 - DCS: MiG-21 FIRST IMPRESSIONS!

[VTJS17_Fire]

Hi guys,

 

some additional screenshots from my first flight last night - with a successful landing!

 

Here a short Pre-Preview from this flight: (translated from my German post)

 

"Hello everyone,

 

I'm very proud, that I have received a promo version of the MiG-21bis by Leatherneck. The module is of course already installed and I did my first flight last night: JUST AWESOME!

 

Exterior model, textures, cockpit and flight model are really perfect - the cockpit looking in my opinion in DCS his peers. Only Rickardos Cockpit mod for the A-10C can match that.

 

Below are a few screenshots of my first tour. Anyway, I'm healing come down on landing. First conclusion: Day 1 Purchase recommendation!

 

A detailed (P)Review will follow in a few days, the first tutorial next week. Thus, you are prepared this time properly before the release.

 

I have to thank Nick and find that the guys at Leatherneck Simulations did a first-class work!

 

kind regards,

Fire"

My recommendation about the MIG-21Bis... it's damn good module but... you will really want to read (and learn lot from) the manual. I printed the 181 page manual this afternoon, A4 format, in color... it wasn't cheap but I did it anyway... it will come in handy for many years to come. I can already see many posts like "how do I raise my landing gear" and alike :lol:

I can make 50 beautiful screenshots of that cockpit too if I could.:D

Has the manual been already released ? I would love to start learning this jet already before even handling it

Holy goat...Those screenshots...

 

 

 

My life in a nutshell right now.

For what I see on your post,outstanding module is all I want to say.

You lucky Bisers, feed us with info ´til I can put my hands on that stick.

Maybe a little more on flight perfomance...?

 

Thank you very much for the pics and words, if I had that preview copy.....don´t know if I would trade flight hours to write posts here, so thanks again.

I can´t wait for buy this!

May have been asked already, but is the Mig-21 going to be available for the Steam version of DCS World?

[felthat]

yes, maybe lil later but its gonna land on steam too

dontcha worry

[flankerzrj]

Not currently planned, but possible in the future.

 

I can do this if you send me the cockpit`s textures.

Hi folks,

 

here some new shots from the Saturdays flight, right after my first Ramp Start procedure.

 

The Flight Manual is written very well, it helped a lot at the start-up. :thumbup:

I'll repeat myself: The Flight Model is outstanding, flying the MiG-21bis makes a lot of fun.

 

It's a nice target presentation in our squadron training, too (IMO), something different on the TEWS. :D

 

 

regards,

Fire

Can you tell us if the engine management is so restrictive ?

 

Usual BFM can be made without constant danger of engine getting out?

Just a quick question, why is there Hebrew writings on the note on the front dashboard??

It's just some sloppy writing -- not hebrew.

[xcom]

Accidentally or not, they are all Hebrew letters. :vertag:

I think it's a hint to give a copy for review to someone in the Israeli community ;)

[tobaschi]

well, Hebrew IS sloppy writing ; )

[YoYo]

Some idea.

Explained in Polish (http://il2forum.pl/index.php/topic,16529.0.html sorry ;) ) but owners of TARGET and Cougar/Warthog can do too same.

One push and many commands.

Here example for Gear UP.

 

 

:D, :D , :D.

[cichlidfan]

Some idea...

 

After reading some of the posts here and on SimHQ, I had already figured out that some creative target scripting is going to make this aircraft much easier to operate than with the mouse or straight 'in game' control mapping.

 

Thanks. :)

Yep. Its difficult to operate all switches when You reach 350 km/h on the take off, MiG's FM and his vibration in the cabin! But exactly the same like in RL check list :).

That's the impression I got from BeachAV8R.

 

Now if only someone would post the HTML dump of the keyboard controls so I could start my macro file. :D

[UN9249]

Is it released? Oo

No.

Landing seq. It needs a practice... a lot of practice ;).
