I like the roll now but i notice , if I roll left i feel the yaw effect too like its coupled.
-
Some issue , before the patch whenever i used to damage the LG during the short take off , could feel the effect of drag weight if one of the gear was out, just tried right now on the AO server , during the short take off i hit ground effect and the LG would not retract , did not notice any effect on the aircraft ?
-
The latest update changed power / drag is what i noticed. The roll i am not too sure but she rolls very fast now that could be the stick i don't know
-
I updated without deactivating it. Just removed the registry entry and all good.
-
touchdown is 320 kmph without any external stores etc..
Keep her @400 on approach

Honestly I don't understand why people keep saying that the Mig-21 is one of the most realistic a/c in DCS, when right now it's flawed in almost every area, from FM to weapon system, from Navigation to Starcode activation.
It's a fun aircraft to fly, but I really hope M3 straighten it up and bring the realism level it deserves

proof ?

Hahaa, the cockpit now works, it's all in English. I feel comfortable starting it and taxiing, but for some reasons landings are still a challenge. It seems that even at 100% throttle I can't control the sink rate. Am I too heavy or what?
Also it seems that the 21 is very unstable around its longitudinal axis at low speeds such as landings. Very hard to keep the wings level.
Next step is to learn how to use the radar and the missiles. Seems very counter intuitive, having to flip 15 switches before firing...
Yeah since the last of couple of updates i find her sinking when on approach, i try to keep her @400 km/h and try a touchdown @320 but strangely i have this pitching moments which seem difficult to control her nose, i can say it could be the stick but can't too sure.
the wingz rocking on approach / landing was an issue but i don't see it happening now. If you want switch off the Aileron Booster and try. The lateral seems much better

No second thought buy it

Yes Jose , we could try it out but i don't know when, i am trying to fly since yesterday but just not been able to. The only flight I tried was the new version of FG.
Let's see maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
BTW i don't know the Dora well yet like the Mig
-
I always crash in the Spit because i blow away both the wings with high G and they burn and its not controllable at all
-
Looks like she bleeds air speed very fast now, hope all this quite close to the real thing.
-
This is my worry. I remember Last year I had a great handle on the FM and loved it and then there was a major change to it and all of a sudden I could not land it right anymore, it was awful. I left the module and came back to it at the end of last year and have re-learned all of it and love it again. Im very disturbed to hear they have been messing around with the FM again, I am not sure whether its preferable just to leave it in whatever state its in and call it a day with the FM or to continually do this screwing around with it.
I hope they finalize it close as possible to the real thing , don't know if the current or the previous FM changes are real or can the module be made as realistic ?

@hugepanic
Yes as i mentioned above the pitch feels way too light no inertia and yes COG seems to be shifted.
In fact i can't get her out of a stall, can't fly her low speed with full flaps as she more difficult, she has her nose bouncing on approach but not too much
I hope this is a realistic behavior because it took me almost more than a year to handle the mig and i don't want to spend one more to handle her new characteristic.
-
I will have to check again will do that tomorrow. I usually keep pitch below 20 not to get into a stall on those short takeoffs. Don't think i was reading the AOA meter not always easy to during these kinda runs :)
-
I always do a short take off and taking the pitch above 18 degrees would be bad , now i just tried and i am doing almost 30 deg positive pitch during the short take off and no stall ?
-
Something feels not right in the Miggie. She feels too light in Pitch ? there is no inertia ? the roll seems better not yet tested a landing.
-
redoing the update. Now it's downloading 1.4 GB. I don't even know how big the update is and 2 MBPS just does not go well now. :( 50MBPS minimum required
-
It's not even updating, stuck @1.6GB , i had left the update in the night and when i checked in the morning the update had crashed , this was a 2.4 GB update which crashed damn.
-
i mean it doesnt make the mig21 unflyable, rather the problem is that it's too flyable...
Ok. damn why do they keep changing it ? hope they finalize the FM close as possible to the real thing.
-
Hmm yeah no viggen for me i m happy with the miggie but i am worried if i don't update to 1.5.6 i won't be able to connect to the AO server as i don't fly offline.
Hopefully i just need to update 1.5.5 to 1.5.6 , i have a backup already. Let's see will probably update in a bit
-
So the FM is bad ? oh no now what will i fly ? I only fly the Miggie. Got many modules but miggie is the only one that interests me.
-
Was about to update , but the update seems to be huge and @2MBPS it's gonna be slow, will watch if any1 is facing problems
-
Every one gotta fail sometimes especially new player with no experience, but as said new moduls attract new player from other s what Games is not bad for DCS at all.
But also saidly the People with absolut foul language they only join the MP server to annoy other People like in every Game is also growing.
But get the hope they leave so fast as they comming, the complexity of DCS and lack of interest are deterrent.
I don't think some of them are kidz but who knows and it's just not bad words but rather something else. If they connect and fly around without these verbal sentences it's perfectly alright.
The Mig feels like a fighter again
in MiG-21Bis

I still need to check it again Dolphin, earlier it was way effective in showing the drag caused due to LG damage with the gear out.
There are a few abnormalities that I am seeing but I am not really sure if it is due to my stick. In Xplane the stick works fine so does in the other modules of DCS except in the Mig.
As I said I still need to check doing a few flights and will file the bug.
