grunf Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks for the update! Mig-21 was always one of my favorite modules, so I'm glad you're continuing to work on it. As for the CE2, I bought it just out of curiosity, being the first biplane in DCS, and I'm glad I did, it's great little plane and a joy to fly! :thumbup: Keep up the good work!
Seb71 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 If anyone is curious, this is the MiG-21 video from which that screenshot is taken:
FIN_Centurion1 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The Corsair stuff is just insanely good looking! Might be the first warbird I pick up for DCS!

Hiromachi Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 Cool. Fixing ASP is not even being considered. I don't remember writing anything like that in the update ;) AMD Ryzen 5900X @ 4.95 Ghz / Asus Crosshair VII X470 / 32 GB DDR4 3600 Mhz Cl16 / Radeon 6800XT / Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD / Creative SoundBlaster AE-9 / HP Reverb G2 / VIRPIL T-50CM / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Audio Technica ATH-MSR7
-Rudel- Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The external textures will be reduced to half resolution and I'll have to download textures from external site for overall resolution of the MiG currently in DCS? That depends on internal tests of the split 4K textures. 8K to 4 x 4K does not reduce quality. The 8K textures are formed originally by merging 4K textures. If the FPS is still not great, the 4K will be reduced to 2K, and 4Ks will be put up for download. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD, 1 x 15TB SSD U.2 i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD
Harle Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I don't remember writing anything like that in the update ;) Neither do I remember reading anything about ASP in the update.
Rudel_chw Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks a lot for working on improving the MiG-21, it was the first aircraft I purchased from Leatherneck and I've used it so much that I blush when I remember how little I paid vs the many hours of entertainment it has given me back. That's why I purchased the CE2, even if I wasnt sure if aerobatics were really mi thing :) ... just wanted to help support you guys, and was my way of saying thank you, for all the free updates my MiG-21 has received over these three years. My main interest is cold war jets, but most likely will also get your Corsair ... I expect it to be as nice a surprise as the CE2 has been these last few days :D Cheers!

FoxAlfa Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Excellent news!! Thank you for the update...the Corsair is looking hella good!!! Btw will we get the SPO-10 update for the MIG-21? ------- All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation. Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a bit you realize the pig likes it.

It's too bad that texture resolution for the MiG couldn't be adjusted in game settings instead of having to download them. i7 7700k, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1080, 500 GB NVMe m.2 SSD, Trackir 3 Pro, Gunfighter Mk I w/MCG; Mod.

Juancio Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but are the Mig21 damage model and cockpit lighting gonna get fixed any time soon? Edited January 24, 2019 by Juancio
Wizard_03 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Thank you for remembering the MiG Neither do I remember reading anything about ASP in the update. Not trying to be rude just asking, what is actually wrong with the ASP at this point? I know it had a bunch of issues in the past but what are its current problems?

gulredrel Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks for ongoing work on the MiG-21. New cockpit screenshot looking great, especially the radar screen and surounding.
Ghoul Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 what is actually wrong with the ASP at this point? I know it had a bunch of issues in the past but what are its current problems? They are not in the past just yet. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183154
