Guys, Marry Christmas!

Here is one more bug of the current FM:

So, in Soviet documentation of the MiG-21 clearly said that MiG-21 has to have nose rotation tendency downwind side on take off rolling.

For now in the DCS as I presume all aircrafts has tendency to move the nose up wind. MiG-21 due its long nose section has to try to turn in 

opposite side!

Here is the picture from Soviet manual:

I think it has to be hard to read Russian for most of you. 

So, at least you can see the picture and get the point that wind vector W goes from the left, nose goes to the right because the center of the rotation of total area taking the pressure located in front of the main landing gear. It shows with arrow and noted like Z.

It is usual behavior of the MiG-21. Here is comment from the very experienced American test pilot:

Look at 21:44:

All the best, guys!
