MiG-21 BIS total time of development

[Bufo]

Hi

 

I was wondering, how much was the total time of development spent on this plane from the very beginning until release status (e.g. not beta any more)? 3-4 years?

- it starts as a MOD under FC2....

(2011)

- one chapter was the INDIGOGO campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dcs-mig-21bis-fishbed#/ with ups and downs

It looks like to me that this was a completely different mod than the one we have know, from different developers.

nope - mwd2 is correct ... its sure been an interesting road for the feisty mig.. glad to have seen the LNS guys bring it through to such a wonderful completion

Hi,

 

I think long enough to ensure that the module is now faced with major problems repetitive. Or not? Different opinion? :doh:

This is the most important post to read, as it's LN's original formation annoucement after the Indiegogo team fell apart.

 

Cobra's other posts around the time give more details, but it's not built upon the mod iirc, and a lot of work was done in a 12-18 month window before that announcement, and a lot of stuff has been redone since.

 

3 years isn't a bad figure to start from, though you might find for the current version, it's not that long.

The other problem, the MiG-21bis was the first 3rd. party project and ED just started to develop tools for 3rd. party DEVs.

It started as a FC2 Mod under Studio Beczl,

 

Then Was going to DCS Module

 

Then Beczl Left,

 

New team Formed under leatherneck

 

Most if not all of the assets were completely re-done by the new team.
