First contact with Mig-21bis, Ramp Start Procedure. Bad joke?

I have to agree with OP, we kind of expect the tutorials in DCS to be half-assed, but the humor is a big miss for me. It's a simulator, for the first thing a player will start up, try to keep it a little more serious and give us thorough information ...

Big miss. I am just getting to the Mig-21 now,and although I really am keen on the aircraft,the broken,poorly done training missions are a bit of an insult. Paid for the module and the creator of this couldnt be bothered.I would be embarrassed putting this out and charging for it.  Anyway,there are great Youtube tutorial creators that have really put in the effort to share their knowledge with others new to the Mig 21,and of course Chucks Guide is great.

Yep, quite usual old tutorials get broken over time whenever one tries to use them many years later. It's a shame but I guess the long term maintenance for old modules isn't easy for small teams and MiG-21 is the oldest module from a small team.

Anyway, as you say, there are plenty of tutorials out there nowadays. The big problem with this, and it happens to other modules as well, is not only they're stuck working other modules by now but as they plan a v2.0 of the module it's probably worthless to spend a lot of time (stopper bugs aside) with this module when there'll be a whole new module out of this one in due time with newly done tutorials. I'm not there but I guess that's really problematic for your schedule when you have limited resources.
