Brett Sinclair Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hello, I am about to buy the MiG-21 during Steam sale, it being one of my favourite aircraft. Just a few questions before buying: - Is there an FPS impact compared to FC3 aircraft? If yes, how big is it? - Are they keyboard bindings for the cockpit switches? Until Christmas I have to fly without a joystick (but mouse yoke, which works well), so I need shortcuts for the cockpit switches. Thank you.

Best regards, Brett - There was a pretty big FPS drop compared to other aircraft at the initial release, but that was fixed. I have no performance issues with the MiG-21 anymore. - Yes, there are keybinds for pretty much everything. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Art-J Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The MiG's pit is still more polygon and texture resolution heavy compared to most of FC3 planes, so it requires more hardware power to be rendered smoothly, although in recent years it's been optimized somewhat indeed. It all depends on Your PC config, which You didn't describe. For me, however, the plane doesn't cause performance issues anymore on my GTX780, and that is not a new card by any means. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

jmijnen Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It may kill your PC when the model / textures load in, but once that's done she's smooth as baby bottoms :) For the controls, everything can be ninded, but it's more complex than an FC3 kite so you will need more binds!! 1 Modules: too many System: I7-7700K, GTX 2080 Super, 64GB DDR4, 500GB SSD, 3TB HDD.

Brett Sinclair Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thank you for your replies. My specs are: i7-4700MQ @ 2,4 GHz, Nvidia GT740M 2GB, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, DCS on 1 GB HD. Truly far from great today, but DCS is running quite well at lower settings but 1080p resolution. Mapping keys will be a must, but more things to map is a plus, really...

grunf Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It runs smoothly on my system (i5 4xxx, gtx970, 16gb, ssd) at 60fps, vsync on. It may drop slightly over a very busy scene, but that's the case with all the modules, not just MiG-21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer86 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I suggest you to buy that legendary aircraft. Yes it has certain low fps problem when you compare with other aircrafts but I am sure devs are working on it to solve this problem https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2924745&postcount=29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Sinclair Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thank you. I just bought it, remembering I could request a refund if FPS was terrible. It is not. Looking forward to many hours of learning in this iconic rocket. Best regards. Brett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
