Wow, it's too late now, you haven't slept yet.

Wow, it's too late now, you haven't slept yet.

 

We don't get much of that in the past few days. :joystick:

Meanwhile at my house...I want to sleep but it's such a waste of time...

But I wont think like that tomorrow when I'm in school. :(

[Bunyap]

Ok, number 16 and 17 are up. Congrats on the release!

[Eldur]

Nice, thanks :)

 

So I can have a look while I'm downloading DCS World again until I can fly her myself :D

Bunyap,

Looking at your videos you are using a "quick Reference" kneeboard during starts and other procedures. Mind directing me as to how I can get that installed in the Mig-21bis kneeboard in the sim. I'm not that computer literate so apprecate simplicity:music_whistling:

Bunyap,

If you only need startup procedure, then download attached file and extract its contents into:

DCS installation folder\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\CONTENT\

 

In game, press RCTRL+Up to show the kneeboard, and then use RCTRL+Left to scroll.

 

They are a bit small in game, but still usable enough.

My appreciation!

Thanks for providing that, it will work until I can find the "manual" Bunyap was using. In his videos it seemed those kneeboard pages were fairly easy to read. I tried converting pages from the manual that came with the sim, but they were "un-readable".The pursuit goes on. Again, thanks for adressing my request.:thumbup:

[zerver]

Well, I can only guess, but I think that kneeboard images becomes more readable when you are using higher resolution in game – kneeboard window scales to X% of screen resolution, but images stays at the same size (768 x 1024 pixels) and are stretched to kneeboard window, so overall its looks bigger and more readable.

 

If I remember right, Bunyap is using some pretty high resolution when flying, so maybe that’s the case – still only guessing.

 

I’m pleased that someone found it useful, because when I finished “working” on those images, I actually learned to start up the MiG without any help, so it didn’t had any use for my anymore – its pretty straight forward machine. ;-)

I'm having a lot of trouble downloading test flight number 12. I've downloaded the rest that were posted. I suspect its broken.

 

Can anyone help me with that one? Just to complete my collection?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Bunyap]

The top post is updated to include the "On the Range" tutorials and is cleaned up a bit with a single link to the Test Flight playlist instead of links to all 17 videos. Thanks again to everybody who is checking them out!

 

(Cobra, or one of the moderators, would it be possible to change the title to "MiG-21Bis Fishbed Preview and Tutorial Videos" to reflect the change? I thought I had that ability but I guess not.)

 

Chief, the pages I was using are attached. I went a little overkill on the resolution and file size but they gave me no trouble. Somebody is bound to come up with something more comprehensive eventually.

 

Eyusuf, sorry but I can't help you there. The video seems to play fine so I have no idea why it won't download.

Hey Bunyap.

 

Title fixed. :)

Thanks again for your awesome videos!

Thank you for your videos Bunyap, I realy like them.

 

But a question regarding the bombing tutorial. Shouldn`t you put the gunsight into gyro mode so that the pipper is adjusted for bank angle?

[Bunyap]

Thanks Cobra!

 

Mbot, I thought for a long time about that and decided to play it safe and go with the MSL mode. The only real source document I have is an english translation of the Bis flight manual from flightmanuals-on-cd.com. It gives details on when it is appropriate to use the gyro setting with guns and rockets but doesn't mention anything about what the gyro setting does for bombing. In fact, it specifically tells you to use the MSL setting when dive bombing in the manual mode. That doesn't mean the gyro mode wasn't appropriate since this was done in the auto mode, but I don't believe it would be any more or less effective. Maintaining a zero bank angle during the delivery is the goal when using my technique so the result should be the same in either case.

 

I guess I am a little skeptical about the effectiveness of any automatically calculated deliveries from any system from this era anyway. This is especially true when you consider the different ballistics that are (or should be) inherent to each type of bomb. I'll probably stick to the manual methods from now on anyway. Videos to follow once I figure out the right angles to input into the sight. ;)

Awesome videos Bunyap! Thanks for making them, they help a ton!!

 

Which object are those round ground bombing target objects? Are they in the Static Objects/Structures list? What are they called? Thx.

I have been trying to drop the Nuke, it is center line mounted so it is not a pylon 1,2,3,or 4 and is not selectable.

I have all the switches I can find, it is armed and ready but when I hold weapon release nothing happens.:huh:

I can pickle it using the emergency switch but that does not help me.

Can some one write a Step by step switch by switch procedure on how to drop center line mounted bombs?

I even watched the videos but it did not help with center mounted stuff

Thanks

[zaelu]

I didn't got that far... maybe the drop center fuel tank works? :D

Flick on all the switches on the overhead panel on and make sure the one 2nd from the right is set to "special."

-Turn on the switch behind the stick with the thin red bar across it (i forget the name)

-all the green lights should be on on the overhead panel if the bomb is ready to drop

-press the weapon release button on the left side of the stick

[tusler]

Thanks Sceptre,

The one second from the right set to special was what I was missing!

[Flanker52]

Good stuff Bunyap.

 

Hoping you do a series on the P-51 in the near future.

[ctguy1955]

I just purchased Mig21 today and I love it ! I have so much to learn !

[Flanker_27]

Somebody can make english subtitle for those videos?
