Fab Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Hello all.... I was wondring, how high, you have been able to get the Mig21... Acording to the Wiki the Service ceiling is 58,400 ft, but I manage to get to 68000 in DCS 1.5. I got a flameout around 64-65k....:helpsmilie: Also it seemed to get a speed boost around 40000 ft.... I dont know why, but some of you Mig21 Jocks might b able to explaine that...:music_whistling: How many time can I restart in the air, I seem to only be able to do i once:cry: Intel Core i7-6700K Cpu 4.00 GHz OC 4.8 GHz Water Cooled|32 GB DDR4 ram OC| Nvidia RTX 2080Ti| TrustMaster Warthog|Saitek Battle Pro Pedals | Logitec G13| Oculus Rift S :joystick: I´m in for a ride, a VR ride:pilotfly: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBX_-Hml7_7s1dggit_vGpA?view_as=public
NeilWillis Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Restarting in the air requires oxygen, and there is only sufficient for one, or at a real stretch 2 relights. There is a gauge on the left console that will give you an idea of the available levels.
Aginor Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Also keep in mind that service ceiling is NOT the maximum altitude the aircraft can fly at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_%28aeronautics%29 DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
BitMaster Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Also keep in mind that service ceiling is NOT the maximum altitude the aircraft can fly at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_%28aeronautics%29 nice read, shaded some light on what & why AC behave like they do. So, if I win the lottery, I could cruise at 15k meters in my civil 7-seat passenger Jet Airliner and look down on a A-380 at 12k meters LoL Cheers !

Spectrum Legacy Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 How many time can I restart in the air, I seem to only be able to do i once:cry: Restarting in the air requires oxygen, and there is only sufficient for one, or at a real stretch 2 relights. There is a gauge on the left console that will give you an idea of the available levels. From the manual: The engine oxygen supply system will permit five attempts at engine relight, provided the AIR RELIGHT circuit breaker is kept closed for not more than 30 s. However from what I understand, if you flameout by exceeding max. allowed IAS or a high altitude flameout occurs, you will be only allowed one relight for some reason. My understanding is that it models overstressing of the engine at least in the former case, but again it is just my interpretation. Sent from my pComputer using Keyboard
FishBike Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I've been over 90,000 feet a bunch of times. The trick is to go up to 10-11km, accelerate up to over Mach 2.0, then do a 4-5G pull up to 60 degrees climb, and then just try to hold the nose up without stalling it. You WILL lose your engine but can continue climbing for a while after. You will then lose your generators too and will not have instruments for a while. But once you go over the top, you can push the nose down and get some speed back on the jet, then get the engine re-lit once you are back down at lower altitude and reasonable speed. It's survivable but exciting. I got to 95,481 feet this way yesterday, I suspect 100,000 might be possible with perfect technique.
