Hello,

 

There was a nice overview of what is coming for the MiG-21 2.0 upgrade. Here is a quote from the January 2015 LNS update:

 

Nonetheless, there are a number of both large and small improvements and fixes still pending.

Listed below are some of the major additions planned:

 

New & improved sounds, both in interior and exterior views. Based on real MiG-21 samples. Improved Engine RPM Feedback and immersion.

Improved radar screen visual representation.

Re-Introduction of red cockpit floodlights

Performance improvements wherever possible.

Major improvements in exterior 3d model accuracy (pylon tilt, wing thickness, gear door shape, front windshield fuselage joint and more)

New AAA quality pilot model in the cockpit (toggleable)

(in conjunction with previous) Animated and correct post-ejection pilot model & animations

Improved artwork & textures for various ordinance (SPS-141, ASO-2, Atomic bombs and more)

Default cockpit livery variations. (Green, Finnish, etc.)

10+ New default liveries. (Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, GDR, Cuba, and much more)

Re-introduction of tactical numbering

Is this list still more-or-less up to date or are there other things coming as well? I heard that the ASP bug had been worked out, anything else worth noting?

 

Also, will there be any discussion of the MiG-21 2.0 prior to DCS2's release or will the LNS update follow DCS2's official release?

 

I'm very excited to see these updates and liveries. The MiG-21 is still my favorite module and every improvement goes a long way towards my DCS experience. :)

 

Best,

 

Nick

Although often than monthly news were... promised, something must have changed that everybody is quite quiet :) .

 

Could be something big and good... could be something bad.

Ow Cr@p, does that mean that all of the custom skins must be redone? :(

Happy Flying! :pilotfly:

Maybe...

 

I think this is why LNS decided to wait for DCS2 to release the paint kit.

 

But I'm not at all sure about it.

If that's true, I hope the news is good.

That does sound like it.

 

On the other hand, if these new skins from LNS have the same quality as present ones, I can live without subpar custom ones available now. A proper, official template will keep painters busy as well.
