Hi Ian
Any news regarding the MIG-21 landing gear lights bug?
I could of course solve it with some inverter circuits, but having the code fixed would be better :)
Thanks for adding more aircrafts! :thumbup:
-
Great work! Now I'm almost about to buy this chopper just because of this profile :)
Any plans for a MIG-21 profile? That would be awesome to have side by side with my DCS-BIOS setup.
-
I... actually have no idea, but you're absolutely right, they wouldn't have scanlines, they'd have other artifacts related to the refresh rate and flickering.
Exactly. And the lovely phosphor glow and highlighted corners of geometrical shapes etc., that can't ever be simulated in a good way.
Anyone that played Asteroids on an original arcade machine knows what I'm talking about :D
(or spent hours in an electronics shop using a good old oscilloscope)
(or used to be a pilot back then when these radars or displays where common)
-
My point was only about that both raster and vector displays can be a CRT monitor, but only the raster type can have scanlines typical for low res CRT raster displays.

Saab 29 Tunnan
Nobody puts Tunnan in the corner ;)
Well, as a Swede I might be a bit biased... It would be fun though to have it in DCS an go up against Sabres and MIG-15's.

Scanlines? Scanlines. :D
Scanline (and other CRT emulation) shaders are quite common with the arcade game emulation sector.
However, isn't the old radars based on vector displays (like oscilloscopes)? If so there shouldn't be any scanlines.
The Shkval monitor in the SU-25 is a raster monitor though and would benefit from a good scanline shader.

They really shot some Swedish aircraft down?
I wasn't aware of that..
Yes, a DC-3 surveillance aircraft (or spy plane if you like) was shot down over the Baltic sea at 1952. There was a lot of secrets regarding this, since the mission was to gather data about new Russian radars and so on. Not appreciated by the people in east...
It just disappeared and no one really knew what happened. The full story was revealed just a few years ago and the aircraft is now found and salvaged (and put in to a museum).
During the search for the crew of the DC-3 a Catalina was shot at and had to crash land in the water. However that crew survived.
Some more information here:
-
Well, depending on the battery type there are different discharge curves, and some that are almost going from full to none. However I doubt the battery technology used in those planes back then would do like that... I would say that simulation is not correct here. Others might need to correct me with hard facts.
-
Also keep in mind that there where some real incidents with Swedish aircrafts (DC-3 and Catalina) being shot down in that specific region by Russian MIG-15's during the cold war.
So if you are a Russian pilot it would make sense to have a DC-3 or Catalina module in DCS...:cry:
-
Hm... didn't know until now that 5 out of 8 in the team are Swedes - GO Viggen, go Viggen :joystick:
-
I was thinking more likely to be the Vertol VZ-2
Aah, that is truly an odd bird :)

Any plans for a MIG-21 profile?
Maybe it has been discussed before, but do you accept any donations (PayPal)? We are a lot of people appreciating your efforts and more than me are probably willing to give you a donation or a small fee.

Yeah, casual players can stick with Warthunder :music_whistling:

Osprey is fixed wing... but Tomcat isn't
Well, in this context I believe the opposite to fixed wing was a helicopter. Do you regard the Tomcat as a helo?
So my suggestion was based on that not fixed wing - not helicopter = Osprey
-
Cobra stated in an interview that all of they have no helicopters planned "all of our projects are fixed wing, we'll sort of ;)." In reference to the Tomcat. Unless things have seriously changed, all the pending modules are conventional aircraft.

So, the Osprey then? ;)
-
Especially the Viggen is a unique opportunity, never represented in a simulation (well it was in some Falcon versions, but it features F-16 avionics there).
Might be stretching the "simulator" term a bit, but as a Swede this airplane was the only reason for choosing Fighter Bomber before other flightsims on the Amiga back in the days :)
-
With all this speculation I just can’t help myself getting carried away dreaming of a Baltic sea cold war scenario (map) in an AJ37 Viggen loaded with those huge anti-ship missiles. Flying at a surface skimming level (something Swedish pilots practiced a lot during the period) attacking vessels just east of the island Gotland. Returning to a temporary road base at the main land (the aircraft is more or less designed for that purpose), reloading with rockets and go back for a second run attacking ground forces at the beach head. Perhaps taking down a Hind or two with the 30mm gun before turning back again at almost zero altitude hoping that your friends in the JA models keep the skies free from MIG’s… By the way, Viggen pilots managed to get confirmed missile lock on the passing by SR-71 Blackbirds
If you need some more inspiration, here are two of many videos out there:

Been a long time lurker but as soon as you mentioned Viggen I had to register and start my active forum career.
If that aircraft comes true I would more or less cry (happy tears) and start investing heavily in DCS again :)

Ah, sorry. You can remove my post in this thread if you like, and I'll re enter it in the correct thread. Just wanted to have that specific question in the loop, since the Git hub issue report of it has been without a comment since April 18.
