Raisuli Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Needed some QM-21 drones to shoot down and realized the MiG-21bis isn't available in the mission editor. Not as AI, not as a player aircraft, not at all. I can fly it, the instant action missions show up, just can't find it in the ME no matter what country I use. Come to think of it, though the SSSR doesn't seem to show up anymore, either. Just me or is something rotten in the state of DCS?
Solution Flappie Posted April 22, 2023 Solution Posted April 22, 2023 Hi. Ensure the clock icon at the bottom of the mission editor is not highlighted (History mode filter). ---

That was exactly the problem, but 'historical' must have a different meaning in the ME. All the modern jets are still available, but the 'historical' aircraft are missing? Guess it's time to RTFM, because I would have expected to see propellers and not MFDs.
Flappie Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 "History" is everything that happened before "now". DCS historical mode uses the mission date to filter out units and weapons that were not used yet, or that were not used anymore at that time. ---

Ahhh...apparently nobody told them QM-21 drones are still in heavy demand! Thanks for the help, that makes perfect sense!
