Just this morning, I took the MiG-21 for a spin. And after flying at an altitude of 9km, I noticed the gunsight getting blurry. I am pretty sure I switched on the helmet ventilation and airconditioning controls (all on automatic) And I was wondering, why is the gunsight getting fuzzy? It quickly dissapeared when I decended.

No oxigen. Have you sealed the canopy?

I don't own the MiG-21, but this is indeed caused by hypoxia.

If you'd stayed longer up there, it would've got worse and worse, up to the point where the screen turns black.

These screenshots are from a test I performed with the Mustang a few weeks ago.

Those shots are pretty clear. But you would think the MiG-21 is equiped with enough oxygen to stay up there for a considerable amount of time? I did not look at the time, but I was up at 9km for no more then 30 minutes or so. How much oxygen can the MiG-21 take with him and can you have any control over the oxygen flow except for the on-off function?

I don't know how much Oxigen you have but 30 minutes might be close to deplete it. Check the gauge on the left vertical console near gear handle.

This looks like hypoxia indeed.

 

You must double check if the oxygen system is tuned correctly, and no, unless the canopy locks malfunction, it´s not going anywhere even if it´s not pressurized.

 

I hope it´s not a bug.

Yes, if you´re a superlative oxygen eating monster. If not, it should last longer.

I just did a quick test, spent almost an hour above 10000m and haven't experienced hypoxia. There was still more than half oxygen left. I ran out of fuel though :D.
