MiG-15bis : Unable to Open Close Canopy, Jettison Canopy or Eject.


Recommended Posts

Posted

I do not know if this is 2.7 related or not. I  havent flown the MiG-15 in a while until today. Maybe since 2.7 come out. I run 2.7 open beta.

These are the only problems I am aware of with the MiG-15bis - at least for now

Canopy open/close - INOPERATIVE

Canopy Emergency Jettison- does not jettison INOPERATIVE

( you SEE levers etc.  moving for these functions but NOTHING happens) 

Ejection  - will not eject - INOPERATIVE

YES

I have rebound keys.................

YES I have even.........................

Uninstalled the jet ....................and reinstalled the jet.................... to include OBVIOUSLY deleting  the MiG-15bis Input files for control and started ALL over with new bindings..............

Problem persists. 

Anyone else having this issue ? 

CHEERS MATES !!!!

I tested on my system, and can confirm your finding. It is not a Keybinding issue, hopefully ED will take a look at this soon.

I've just tested it while flight. Here's what happens:

  1. Ejection ( 3 x Ctrl + E ) : nothing happens
  2. Open canopy  ( LCtrl + C ) : nothing happens
  3. Close cockpit air valve ( Scrollwheel on "Cockpit Air Valve" valve )  : once valve is fully closed, canopy opens and player gets ejected.

I then tried it the other way around:

  1. Close cockpit air valve: nothing happens (normal)
  2. Open canopy: canopy opens and is taken away by wind
  3. Ejection: player gets ejected

Hasn't it always been this way with the MiG-15bis?

Yes. If the cockpit seal is presurized, you can´t open the canopy (or close it if you open the cockpit valve first).

As IRL since the beginning.

As I was answering @Erlkönig, I just saw the DCS manual states the player should be able to eject the canopy "whether the cockpit is pressurized or not":

Maybe it's a bug after all. I'll report to devs.

I've just checked Polish manuals for license-built versions of MiG-15 and -17. The emergency procedures vary somewhat between these, but they all say jettisoning canopy first, ejecting second, without depressurising mentioned anywhere.

Not speaking Russian, I can't cross-check with original manuals, however.

Not sure when having to de pressurize the cockpit should be ( or was)  in the sim or real world a prerequisite to eject ? I dont know what I dont know.

I DO KNOW for a fact that in the past before I initiated this thread that I could eject from the 15 without having to depressurize the cockpit.  

One ejects in emergencies that may or may not lend themselves to doing a depress. procedure. What if the depress. sequence is inop or damaged? 

One thing is CERTAIN - before or after the addition of this depress requirement in the sim or bug - IF - you can eject the cockpit is going to depressurize on its on. Why was adding a depress requirement necessary. If the answer is to be ""authentic"" it is what it is - I could live without it but I aint drivin the bus.  ; )

It is a bug, and it has been acknowledged as such by devs. Wait and see.

This issue is SOLVED. No depressurization required now.  BANG - out you go !!!!

Are you using open beta? I'm using stable and still can't eject properly.
