MiG21bisFishbedL Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Good update! My only concern is using the XF-8A for reference. There was a humongous amount of change in the aircraft from A spec to the J spec: Addition of ventral fins for increased lateral stability and IRST come to mind. There was also some increases in flight surface area. There's an F-8J at the Air Zoo of Kalamazoo, MI. There's also an F-8E(FN) in Fort Myers, Florida undergoing restoration to return to an airworthy state. The French F-8s shaped the F-8J, so that'd also be a pretty decent place to look for information if you can track down that group or individual. The MiG cockpit is looking great. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiromachi Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 It's one of many references, this one was closest to our artist for a visit early on. Dont worry, we're also picking more pictures specific for later F-8 variants.

_Firefly Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Excellent stuff! Looking forward to a new MiG-21 cockpit. Any chance for some ASP functionality fixes and an SPO-10 rework?

FoxAlfa Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Excellent, I am hoping the SPO-10 gets fixed... its really key in the MiG-21 situational awareness ------- All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation. Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a bit you realize the pig likes it.

Fri13 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Excellent, I am hoping the SPO-10 gets fixed... its really key in the MiG-21 situational awareness SPO-10 and SPO-15 are just the direct information from danger direction and range for pilot, while the key of the pilot situational awareness is in the GCI. Where pilot is operating under direct commands from GCI that knows and sees everything. And is responsible as well guide pilot through BVR and WVR combat by telling what is going to happen etc. Until ED can simulate GCI for REDFOR correctly, the REDFOR situational awareness is compromised. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

TaxDollarsAtWork Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) SPO-10 and SPO-15 are just the direct information from danger direction and range for pilot, while the key of the pilot situational awareness is in the GCI.

It doesn't change the fact the SPO-10 is not behaving correctly in game. I wonder why M3 has not mentioned anything about the SPO-10 in this update Do they wish to surprise us at a later date or do they not see anything wrong with its current implementation in game?

Redglyph Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, it's finally time to post a Spring Update and address a few matter's. Hope you will enjoy it! http://leatherneck-sim.com/spring-awakening/ @Leatherneck: Regarding the MiG-21 cockpit update, do you plan to finally fix the switches, for which a report in your bug tracker was made and acknowledged 2.5 years ago then completely ignored (and re-created since the bug was deleted), and a fix posted and ignored as well? Or are you keeping the broken logic? This was the last of it, on July 2017, and of course I never had any feedback: Hey Redglyph, thanks for the reminder. I'll take a look as soon as I can (incoming week possibly). One problem that I see here is that it might not align well with the manual, missions (triggers) and possibly other stuff... Therefore it has to be inspected thoroughly before the integration. Cheers! (the potential problem he mentioned doesn't exist since missions are oblivious of how the click states are registers in clickabledata.lua, so it should be safe and doesn't require such a big inspection. Even less if you have to redo the cockpit anyway) Edited April 25, 2019 by Redglyph System specs: Win7 x64 | CPU: i7-4770K | RAM: 16 GB | GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB | Thrustmaster HOTAS | MFG rudder pedals | SATA3 SSD | TrackIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
