Para_Bellum Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Can't praise the Mig-21 BIS enough. An instant classic.

PE_Tigar Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I think this is a great day for DCS, LN and us, the backers and DCS users in general. This is a first released PFM+ASM supersonic in DCS, with radar, and it comes from a small team of very dedicated professionals. Many people with real MiG-21 experience will fly it, many of us who have heard stories from our friends/acquaintances/instructors will enjoy it too.
Ripcord Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 + 1 You guys were the first to actually cross the finish line, if I am not mistaken. This forum is packed with a half dozen developers talking about well over a dozen projects, but this one actually GOT DONE. And it got done in spite of some unfortunate circumstances, which speaks a lot about the LN team. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Aginor Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I only had the opportunity to fly twice yet, but I also want to say "Thank you", Leatherneck! I had lots of fun already, and I even landed it on the first try. On the second one I crashed though. Turns out that you shouldn't extend your speedbreaks when flying 400kph and 20m altitude above the runway.... :D DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
OxideMako Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 After flying the MiG for myself last night, the only thing I can say is that Leatherneck, you have a loyal customer right here. I have complete faith in your abilities as a dev, and hope you guys have a good future in flight sims. You certainly deserve it!
Buzpilot Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Finally a fighter you can train real dogfights, thankyou too.

Fishbreath Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I have to say, I wasn't altogether sold on the -21 before the preview videos started coming out. Even with the performance issues I'm having, it's probably right near the Ka-50 as my favorite DCS module. Good job! It's a riot to fly.

Rykane Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I've also only flown the aircraft for a short time but from what I've flown, It's a beauty to fly. I think LN have done an amazing job for such a small team. Congrats guys! Go for a beer, it's on me. :drink:
samolyet Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I dunno about any performance issues - so far I haven't had any but I'm still doing the training missions. But let me tell you - my old girl and I are back together after 8+ years. I only ground off the chassis twice trying to land :D but now everything's all good. I'm just keeping the needle between 0 and the first tiny little notch on the descent meter. Drag chute works great! She flies so darned smooth. I've almost completely forgotten about my old -21UM Mongol B! Almost. The cockpit shadows move fast and really smooth... I was up at altitude and the sun came up behind me and the panel lit up in the sunlight so realistically - nice shading engine! I love the way the pitot tube shakes under high AoA situations. The grey Russian livery is perfect. The radar looks so real you can almost smell that old phenolic resin "old electronics" smell when it's on. Thanks so much, guys, for putting such detail into my favorite jet ever. i7-8086K, ASUS Prime Z370-A MB, G Skill TridentZ 64 GB DDR4 3733, Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme RTX 2080Ti
Flanker52 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Just flew it for the first time - lots of fun. Amazing job guys! Can't wait to buy your future modules.
Sparker Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Thank you very much! I only had time to fly the plane a couple of times and I enjoyed flying it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

PMIK Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks I know I said this on another thread but I'll say it again! Thanks LN! :cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc:
Frogfoot Pilot 1977 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Dear Leatherneck Simulations, Thank you for your dedication to this wonderful simulation of a Mig 21. So far I have been crashing many times lol. Point to note: Read manual first!!!

VMFA117_Poko Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks again for the best DCS add-on so far and I really mean it - worth waiting. Fishbed rocks!
NeilWillis Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 A truly amazing addition to DCS World, and it sets new standards in how to release a module. Excellent work Leatherneck.
Jimbo Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) What everyone here has said. Outstanding Job, great commitment to the DCS community and an absolutely stand out (and rare!) company for honouring the backers. THANK YOU!! Edit: Just fired it up for the second time and had a good 2 hour flight. All I can say is: Edited September 19, 2014 by Jimbo
jackmckay Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Great DCS edition, I thought this bird will be harder to fly and especially landing, didn't read your manual but managed to land safely every time I tried, just keeping in mind that tires blow up at 360-380 km/h (depends on variant) which I haven't succeeded to blow up yet despite shaky touchdowns. This bird rules at low pass transonic but mastering this bird is longer run though. - where are the liveries, many others are still missing? About Serbian skin at training missions, due to great tribute to Novak Đordjevic must say man did a great job (as rest of dev. team too) so this skin honor probably goes to him but I personally prefer silver red star as default skin being reflection of birth age fashion of this cold war bird. Nevertheless, I thought it will be harder to fly (my only disappointment) the rest is extraordinary perfect except theme song which is little bit midi like.

Kusch Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I did not write because I'm still down in the chair! My dream simulator MiG-21 finally came true, thanks LN! Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
HawgTooth Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks for what is hands down the best module i have ever played ... i was in awe when i got to test it for the first time. job well done. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
