Mig-21 Clock

[Flanker_27]

Hello guys!

 

Somebody can tell me the Mig-21 clock how works, how can properly use it, because the manual dont write.

Don't bother, it doesn't work correctly in MiG-21.

It's the same clock as in the Ka-50, Mi-8 and MiG-15, so you should be able to find some info in those manuals if you are interested.

Ok, Thank You!

Hopefully the flight time feature of the clock (as in Ka-50) will be functional some day.

 

Edit: also the seconds hand ticks ones per second, but it should tick 4-5 times because the clock is mechanical.

The clock seems to be the most complex instrument in MiG-21. :P

Well it is a pretty important instrument for the MiG. It in conjunction with the altimeter, ASI, and NPP can precisely get you anywhere along a highly specific flight plan. Just requires good speed management and understanding distance travelled and a pre-set flight plan. :D

Does it work ?

It's unfortunate that they didn't just re-use a component already developed by ED/Belsimtek. I wonder how much standardization ED enforces, if any.

Is there any chance that M3 will add keybinds for the clock controls?
