dpatt711 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Was moving nose cone manually, and noticed it moved side to side (Im pretty sure it's supposed to move forward and back) http://i.imgur.com/Vzooilp.jpg

Corrigan Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Nah man, you've got it all wrong. The 21Bis (and certain export versions IIRC) had a side-moving nosecone. It's to compensate for asymmetric load once a missile has been fired from only one wing.

It's to compensate for asymmetric load once a missile has been fired from only one wing. No, no, no, you got it all wrong. It's supposed to move up and down to account for the change in center of gravity due to fuel consumption.

Corrigan Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Also, if you keep the Nosecone switch in Auto mode, you won't need to trim aircraft for L/R side. Right. The early versions of the aircraft had aileron trim, but they removed it to save weight when they changed the shock cone movement axis.

ff4life4 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Ah this explains why the slip ball isn't centered when in a crosswind.
sobek Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I heard it can spin really fast to aid in overcoming roll inertia. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
ff4life4 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Secondary function, only on select imports, not yet moddled, allow radar to scan 45 degrees to the side. For blindsiding the enemy Okay I'm done Edited October 1, 2014 by ff4life4
Justin Case Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Gaah guys! It moves sideways to ensure proper forward view between the pedals for the pilot, it's perfect for level bombing. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

JMasterFlash Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 The Syrian version also used it for lining up the tail hook for retrieving ejected pilots during a mid-air CSAR operation.
effte Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 You just have to remember to perform all level bombing in knife-edge flight. No, seriously, they are pulling your leg. The nose cone does not move sideways in the real aircraft. That is a bug. In the real world the aircraft moves sideways, as the nose cone actuator is hooked up to the airframe and not the other way around. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.

Random Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 There is no nosecone. Its the fluoride in the water making you hallucinate. Or is it chemtrails? I get so confused.

TurboHog Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Where's OP by the way? :) He must feel so ashamed because he initially thought that nose cone side to side movement is a bug. He is now looking for a way to delete his account because his name will be forever infamous! 'Frett'
effte Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Wat.? Seriously, RTFM! The manual is wrong! I have charts!!! Downloaded off the interwebs, based on three not completely unrelated anecdotes retold half a century after the fact by a probably German test pilot who back in '43 flew an aircraft which shared certain switch positions with the MiG-19 which should be fairly close to the MiG-21. The data was gathered by three thousand shakespearean monkeys with typewriters in an obscure forum related to kitchen appliances. The charts were then fudged to make it feeeeeeeeel right. Some of the monkeys had actual typewriter experience, so the charts cannot be wrong! (They're also drawn with three perpendicular green lines in blue ink and contain the shape of a kitten.) Yeah -- not sure what effte has been drinking. You are such a fanboi. I bet you wish you could spend your entire life just trying to make a member of the team behind the aircraft comfortable. :D Cheers, /Fred ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
