xxJohnxx Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hi, While waiting for release, I thought I would make a small video talking a bit about the MiG-21Bis, the aircraft, some of the systems and stuff like that. As the MiG-21Bis hasn't been released, you obviously see any cockpit footage, and I am using the AI MiG-21Bis to point out some things on the exterior 3D model. Please leave your comments, and tell me if you find such videos intresting!

Rammit Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Just watched it, bravo, really interesting :thumbup: 1 "If the MWS didn't see it, it didn't happen"
statrekmike Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 When you talk about the wheel brake system, is there no bleed air supply for the the wheel brakes at all? Is it a closed system with a limited amount of uses during the take-off/landing?
xxJohnxx Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 No, there isn't. It is a closed, limited system. For example if you retract the gear, compressed air is used to brake the tires. Once the gear is fully retracted you will put the gear hanlde into a neutral position, which stops compressed air to be further consumed. If you don't do this, you will be in for a bit of a funny suprise when landing. Neither will you be able to fire the drag chute. It uses compressed air to deploy as well. There is an emergency braking system though. Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled
Rabbit_ Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Thank You...very nice video. All these little details like braking system or elevators...it will come in handy. I was surprised by that adjustable cone. I didn´t know that. It would be great to see another similar video. From cockpit, by any chance? :) I´m sure, for many people, this video makes the waiting easier. :thumbup:
Lord_Pyro Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Good work. It killed some time and i actually learned something :) Keep it up :D [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic70340_1.gif[/sIGPIC]

Well, I can't do a video from the cockpit, because I don't have the MiG yet. I am waiting as eager for release as you are! :) The plane in the video is just the AI MiG-21Bis that the latest DCS World version has included.

BeachAV8R Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah..I was surprised that the pneumatic system wasn't an accumulator type of bottle or something that constantly recharged via a pump of some type. BeachAV8R
Paradox Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah..I was surprised that the pneumatic system wasn't an accumulator type of bottle or something that constantly recharged via a pump of some type. BeachAV8R Seems weird that in the 30 years between the first production version of the MiG-21 and the MiG-21Bis nobody addressed it. Maybe they didn't think it was a problem with decently well trained pilots and short mission times?
xxJohnxx Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Well, you don't lose any air pressure during flight. You just need it during taxi, takeoff (directional controll) and landing.

Muppetlord Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Well done! I'd love to see more videos like this :)
xxJohnxx Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) No, 1300km/h. However, I think that is indicated. Therfore, at higher altitude it will be 2.05Mach. At 11.000meters that equals 2230km/h groundspeed.

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I like it ... learned some interesting features like the gun breech jam clearing with blanks (of which you only have 3 apparently). Next video shows weapons loadout? 1

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Seems weird that in the 30 years between the first production version of the MiG-21 and the MiG-21Bis nobody addressed it. Maybe they didn't think it was a problem with decently well trained pilots and short mission times? The Fishbed's development has a couple of issues like that, actually. Probably why the bis was selected for the module; it's the most sophisticated Fishbed short of the -93, -2000, and the LanceRs. Reformers hate him!
