Well we knew MIG-21 does not with DCS 2.0.2

Well we knew MIG-21 does not with DCS 2.0.2. But that does not make the pain easier to take. Curious how long before 21 is back on the tarmac? Curious what is with 2.0.2 that prevents MIG from working.

Its alpha stage.

 

If you want to fly the Mig-21 use the release stable 1.5.3 DCS version.

 

Use alpha version at your own risk but consider that is a no finished product yet.

Since the update 2.02 DCS World, the MIG-21 never acts as a player, only A.I.

 

Hello Leatherneck,

 

Since the update 2.02 DCS World, the MIG-21

never acts as a player (me), it always starts as A.I. !!!

F1 is not active, only F2 F3, because the plane is AI.

(See enclosed screenshot)

 

I have made new missions in the mission editor, quick missions,

even uninstalled and reinstalled the mig 21, to no avail.

 

ALL other planes work perfectly.

 

Please help.:(

Hi

 

As stated in the changelog the mig-21 is not functional in this update. ED hope to have an update out soon to fix the issue.

DCS MiG-21bis are not functional until next update.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Mig-21 is quite broken in 1.5.3 too. :'(

Leatherneck, the '21 is one of the most loved plane around, please, save our soul !

[Cobra847]

We're working on a fix. Hopefully ASAP!

Is this something we might see in a hotfix or is this something we could see next Friday?

[shaz56]

So fed up with all the problems with this great aircraft I have deleted it from DCS completely, I might re-install when it's fixed, like in 10 years when I'll be 70. LOL Big shame.

[Zweistein000]

Looking forward to a time when I can take this old bird for a spin too.

 

Must say that I gave fallen very much in love with it. The fact that she now sits in the hangar breaks my hearth.

Oh god something happend. Time to go all crazy and loose all faith in resolving problems in a version that states "alpha".

[Flia]

Maybe in next fridays patch will work again :)

[Esac_mirmidon]

It works perfect in 1.5.3.

[Darkwolf]

or not :P

[Zweistein000]

Perfect as a man-guided missile :P

 

You can power it up and try shooting with it, but...

R60M is broken (rear aspect only).

Radar is broken (can't see anything useless it's about 30 degrees higher than you).

Ground attack piper is broken (it tends to stick itself to the bottom of the hud).

Ground crew rips your canopy open if it's closed and you can't close it after.

Ailerons aren't controllable without booster.

ASO flare pod doesn't work if oyu even touch the flare/chaff sliders.

SPS-141 hasn't been fully implemented yet.

Piper moves on Missile setting (where gyros should be uncaged), yet for some reason it shows S-24 impact point.

Radar beam guidance can't be unlocked once it's locked.

 

And those are just the issues I've noticed. There are plenty more if you check the bugtracker. 1.5.3 really hasn't been kind to this bird.

Yeah, it's really kind of sad to see one of the best modules slowly turn into a hanger queen. Hopefully she'll get past these problems soon.

It's not just the Mig 21. 1.5 and 2 has been a nightmare for other third party developers. I don't blame them. Just growing pains

I'm sure they will get sorted once DCS settles down.

R-60M is a VERY limited all aspect missile so don´t expect to be able to launch it in head on from very far.

 

I can close without problem my canopy after using the ground crew.

 

But you know, yes, there are bugs, like other DCS modules and they are working on it, fixing everything they can with every update. ( and sometimes bringing new ones ). But if you are able to take a look at the bug tracker you are also capable to see how many bugs have been fixed.

 

So let them work on the Fishbed.

 

Meanwhile it´s perfectly possible to enjoy the Mig-21 in 1.5.3

Oh, I'm not blaming leatherneck for this. I know ED has been a bit wonky about communicating their changes to their party devs. Still, this doesn't make the Mig-21 any less broken.

Yes, it is in singleplayer. :P But I dare not take it out in the next blueflag. Dodging AMRAAMs and finding F-15 with a broken radar isn't my idea of fun.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Wait for the next update.

 

Other modules had also radar problems like the M-2000C. So a little more patience

[Darkwolf]

Don't worry. We still have working S-24 to destroy F-15. If we can't defeat them in the sky, we'll destroy them in the ground. :P Mig-21 pilots are usually good enough to dodge CAP detection :D
