Quetzalkoatl Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Yesterday I bought MiG-21 - after I learnt how to engine startup and take off - wanted to learn how to land. After I had landing when plane started flipping sideways - and none of wings broke off even tho they hitting the ground so hard - I decided to make an experiment. On video I show what difficulty I use - please spot that immortality is turned off - and plane acts like indestructable except its gear legs. In 1st suicide approach was going 800 km/h and plane just bounced off the ground - it got damaged 2 gear legs and engine died. 2nd was landing at 400 km/h with front gear leg only - it broke off and plane started rolling on the ground - when angle between direction of move and fuselage changed plane exploded on the ground. In 3rd trial I switched to taxing MiG-21s. Went on full afterburner - plane hit house with speed around 200 km/h - and ofc nothing spectacular happend. In 4th trial MiG-21 just exploded as I reached grass. Link to video (video is not public - only those who have this link, can see it) I hope it gets fixed soon - I really like the plane, FM is incredibly realistic... just that damage model...

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 1st - I've bumped the ground too and caused irredeemable damage in the past. But, I think that was even in a more shallow descent. You just bounced like a rubber ball. Definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. 2nd - This might actually be a gray area in terms of modeling. 3rd - Another gray area. These might just boil down to DCS engine limitations. 4th - That's definitely an engine limitation. Weird things happen on the grass. But that first one? That's REALLY weird. That, obviously, is incorrect. I don't know if the impetus is on Mag 3 or ED in the case of the other 3. 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...
Quetzalkoatl Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 After that I went for another flights - as I'm still learning I'm failing quite often - especially with landings - and in last landing I ejected, plane was falling like 20 m/s into ground - it should not be able to survive it, but it bounced from the ground... and it was bouncing for like 5 mins - with full afterburner, it was moving and bouncing and reaching speed slightly above 100 km/h in those "aerobatics" - there's definitely something wrong with its damage model - it's simply waaay too much durable. Only gear leg damage looks correct. And it all happens on sim difficulty where immortality is off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
