Charly_Owl Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Many people asked for it... so there it is. Enjoy! DCS MiG-21bis https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/mig-21bis/ NOTE: I was wondering if the guide was "too long"... still not sure. Needless to say... I learned quite a lot writing this guide since I knew close to nada when I started writing it. I want to give a big thumbs up to xxJohnxx, Bunyap, YoYo and of course our International Badasses and Evil Corporate Overlords friends from Leatherneck Sims. You guys all rock! People won't fully appreciate the MiG-21 unless they really start flying it in combat scenarios. I was sceptical at first... but now it is my favourite jet in DCS so far.

WildBillKelsoe Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 After reading your F-86, I would say thank you for the Mig-21 too! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
kmstewart64 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Looks very helpful. Wish I had this a few months ago. Thanks, MORG
Tek Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 great document, thanks. One thing though. I am pretty sure the BRA callouts are in feet so 11000 would be 11000 feet not 11Km. I could be wrong here but as i say i am pretty sure. This always annoys me as the gauges on the 21 are in metres so I always have to convert.

Wizard_03 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I don't think its too long at all, its naturally longer then 15 and 86 but its a more complex fighter. Your explanations of everything are really good, the bit about flight limitations verses loadouts will help me out a lot, and I was always a little confused about ARC navigation but not no more! thanks a lot! :thumbup: DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
ArtMan_NL Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 A big hug from me :) Excellent guide for this beginner and it is certainly not to long. Thank you for all your effort :thumbup: /Arthur

SNAFU Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 :thumbup: Thanks for the work you put into this! Looks really good. I personally stick to the RL Flight Instructions, even though they might not be applicable in DCS to 100%, but everyone to his own liking and this is surely a great addition. :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Unsere Facebook-Seite

Frostie Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Awesome guide Chuck. Just one tiny error I noticed, page 23 you've got the 'pitot heat' switch marked as 'tactical release'. "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 51st PVO "BISONS" Fastest MiG pilot in the world - TCR'10 https://100kiap.org
Charly_Owl Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Awesome guide Chuck. Just one tiny error I noticed, page 23 you've got the 'pitot heat' switch marked as 'tactical release'. Fixed. Thank you. @Everyone If some of you have some tips for multiplayer (or tactics in general), feel free to share them. I'll implement them in the guide.
