Chann3l Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Been flying the mig21 for a while now and I can confidently use every system except for the gun camera. I have the switch enabled but I can't get anything to appear on the canopy mounted display. I've read the whole manual and I can't find anything on it. What am I missing? Does it only work with the externally mounted canon or something?
Tirak Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 The gun camera just sits in front of your HUD when you flip the switch. It was only ever used for training and it does nothing in game. I cringe everytime i see someone mount it because it blocks your already very limited view. If you mean the control boxes that get bolted to the top of the canopy, those are for controlling the jamming pod, which doesn't work, the gunpods, and the nuclear bomb.

Ah ok Thanks, I've just seen several videos where people have the display above working and just wasn't sure if I needed to mount something additional or not. I have yet to try the countermeasures container but I did read that the Ecm pod is broken so I guess that's out for the time being lol. Thanks again for the info.

The Fishbed-L's of the Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee actually had theirs attached to the dash, itself, actually. Moot point, in the end: We have a Fishbed-N, not -L. :music_whistling: Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
