Crash * Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Hope they fix this soon. I've been flying the Mig21 like this the entire time I've had it, and I love the plane, but I really wish it was easier to spot F5, Harriers and Viggens in the cold war server. If contacts are ever in the direction of the sun it's extremly difficult. This could be my words. :thumbup: Magnitude should be more transparent. I would be very helpful for us to see what are working on and what is in the Pipeline. A timeline is not reqired. Hope they give always love to the MIG-21.

JunMcKill Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 What is the MOD with the clear canopy? I have clean cockpit mod, however deferred shading canopy glare is just as bad as with the stock cockpit. The mod was working fine in the previous version, but now is kicked by the IC.
Eldur Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 What exactly is the issue? Are you talking this? It's actually as hard to see outside as it is in reality in the morning
S-GERAT Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) LOL, glad I don't drive in the morning in Ponyville.. :doh: In a serious note, this should be fixed months ago with the night illumination in the cockpit. I know M3 is a small team, but things like this are destroying their reputation.. We are not talking about strange bugs or systems that need a full rework in order to make it right. We're talking about broken visuals that don't allow to use the plane with DS on. Edited April 10, 2018 by S-GERAT
=37.Sqn= Mjugen Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 What exactly is the issue? Are you talking this? It's actually as hard to see outside as it is in reality in the morning No it is not, or are all others modules incorrect and only MIg-21 is true to life, according to Horse.
Bogey Jammer Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 What exactly is the issue? No army in the world would accept that. However, this is looking perfect for rendering fog and implement it for better realism :thumbup: I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Actually, at first I thought the canopy glare was intentional and due to the materials used in the real MiG-21. To me it made sense that an older aircraft had less clear (lower quality) plexi glass for the canopy, but I am happy to hear it is in fact not intentional and will get fixed :) Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | Virpil CM3 throttle | Virpil CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings
Deano87 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 I have flown a variety of bubble canopy aircraft in a multitude of different lighting conditions and I have never seen a canopy glass respond in the way it does in the Mig-21 currently. Some interior reflection is expected but this is ridiculous...

Dr_Arrow Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I hope this will be fixed in the upcoming patch, but it would be nice to get some quick "unofficial" fix, because it often makes the Mig-21 hardly flyable, when your most important sensor is your eyeball MK-1 and you often cannot use it. I have to fly IFR in clear sunny weather conditions, which is ridiculous. It would be also helpful at least if the helmet sun visor would remove the glare, if canopy fix is too hard to do.
erniedaoage Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I found a "quick fix" yesterday when i forgot to lock and seal my canopy and left it on the runway. :D:thumbup: Specs:WIN10, I7-4790K, ASUS RANGER VII, 16GB G.Skill DDR3, GEFORCE 1080, NVME SSD, SSD, VIRPIL T-50 THROTTLE, K-51 COLLECTIVE, FFBBeast Virpil Alpha+VFX Grip, MFG CROSSWINDS, JETPAD, RIFT S Modules:A10C, AH-64D, AJS-37, AV8B, BF109K4, CA, F/A18C, F14, F5EII, F86F, FC3, FW190A8, FW190D9, KA50, L39, M2000C, MI8TV2, MI24P, MIG15BIS, MIG19P, MIG21BIS, MIRAGE F1, P51D, SA342, SPITFIRE, UH1H, NORMANDY, PERSIAN GULF, CHANNEL, SYRIA Thrustmaster TWCS Afterburner Detent https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=223776 My Frankenwinder ffb2 stick https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/254426-finally-my-frankenwinder-comes-alive/

This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 It is debatable if the glass glare in the sun is realistic or not... The problem is that the Migs opponents, the F5, viggen, and harrier have perfectly clear canopies and the pilot can look directly at he sun with no problem spotting targets. It's hard enough flying the mig21 against those planes as the mig engine will flame out from neg G or over speed. The mig wing will stall if you pull to much alpha and the other planes have none of these challenges plus they have great RWR . I love the mig21 and enjoy the challenge but the glare needs to be reduced or the server will have very few people willing to fly the mig.
erniedaoage Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 It's already fixed with the latest beta patch 2.5.1 seems like it was a problem on EDs side which is gone since the new open beta.

sideshow Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 The fog has finally been lifted! Even if it wasn't by the doings of Magnitude.
Tiramisu Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I just came here to see, whether I can put the Mig-21 on my wishlist. So I am glad to read that the bug is fixed now.
hovring Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Any news on the dirty canopy glass? The glare is gone, but the grime and dirt is still really bad. Do we have to wait for the new cockpit? I would like to have 2 diffrent canopyglass to chose from. Put them as selectable, as Mi-8 has. A clean and a dirty one to chose from. That should not take several month to do. I bet they have the texture for a clear glas already. Just make it a part of this awsome module!

That should not take several month to do. I bet they have the texture for a clear glas already. Just make it a part of this awsome module! sure, it has already been done by several modders a few years agos ( it is really a matter of 3 textures + 5 modified lines of code ) but Magnitude only realized there was an issue last Summer, why would you expect them to fix it in less than 6 months ? it is nice and well that they plan to release a brand new shining cockpit in a few months ( so they said... quite a few months ago ), but they could think a bit about their Customers who actually USE their module, RIGHT NOW, not 1 year in the future and fix this issue in 1 hour Edited January 28, 2019 by Vilab
Tiramisu Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The MiG-21 is a low maintenance-aircraft, so a dirty canopy is exactly what I would expect. :D I got to say that despite of making your life a little bit harder in dogfights, I still have no serious problems with it. I only wish that they fixed that occasional shimmering of the canopy glass when the sun shines on it. But even this is no real issue for me.

Wow... you really give no credit to ground crews do you.... really? wow.... Maintenance is one thing. Ceeping a airplane in operating conditions when its got hours to fly (with other words! Its been in maintance. The maintenance is done!) Its like talking about apples and pears and call them the same thing, its not! The dirty canopy in The DCS Mig-21 is what a museum Mig looks like. Not a combat aircraft. Come on, do you think the pilots flying this tube would accept a canopy looking like that.... just..... no! If you cant see in a fighter, you are dead. The canopys are keept clean, in combat enviremont, by a "low maintenance" aircraft! I promise you that! For real! Its a thing amongst ground crew guys! All over the world! Its their job dude!
Tiramisu Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 But the MiG-21 was made to startup and takeoff in a very short time, especially when the enemy is making a surprise attack or something. In such a scenario the ground crew would not have much time to clean anything.
