Cockpit stuff

I gotta admit, the cockpit looks so much better now. Thanks. But then, there is this here that I haven't noticed before this update...the flares illuminate that single part of the cockpit as never before.

One more thing that I forgot. When the buttons for landing flaps and takeoff flaps are pressed/down they disappear.

there are much more bugs with this update, but yes you are right about flaps.

This isn't isolated. I have the same problem too.

I have fixed the flap buttons and other things

Probably already detected and included in the fix you made, Rudel, but ARK channel selector buttons disappear when depressed.

uuhhg, back to 3dmax..thx! )

While I understand the cool factor, and while it is well done, of canopy with smears all over it, I do not expect such mess on it if plane is not abandoned on some field for a static display. I mean aircraft crew would clean such mess before flying.

Maybe some day we will have dynamic bugs, etc. on a canopy in DCS but till then overdoing the weathering should be for plastic kit planes.

someone made a mod on reddit. I wont change it.

fixed

Thank you very much, Rudel. I highly and sincerely admire the care that has been poured into this aircraft by you fellas. (And I think I understand the pain of reworking so many things over and over after core updates... )

Thanks, twice!

Rudel, why are you so keen on the overly dirty cockpit? I'm all for realism, but if you fly the Fishbed in a simulated 1975 scenario the current cockpit that looks like it's been neglected for 30 years makes no sense. It's not like the module doesn't already have switchable cockpits, unrealistic ASP options, and a game mode built in. A simple option like what the Mi-8 has should be the standard.

the dirt is a real problem in the cockpit.

you can easily loose sight to a possible target or wrongly interpret a spot of dirt as a target ...

if i was a real pilot in this real plane i'd clean it up a bit ...

to bad i allready bought the Mig21. That kind of behavior(relying on Users to fix issues) from a DEV on a important subject (playability) is just sad :(

whats sad is this inability to adapt

you all are always asking others to make concessions for you

the flares illuminate that single part of the cockpit as never before.

I believe this is a general problem with the DCS lighting engine and not specifically related to the MiG-21: engaging the afterburner in the M-2000C lights up the cockpit as well for example, and causes reflections on the radar display :music_whistling:

this just does not make sense in the given case... I am all for the option of "wornout" and "new" cockpit as I can see it adding the value for the immersion. However as it is now, I am forced to use user mods (most MP mig21 users have done it till date). What is more, this is the only plane in DCS in which user fights with deconflicting canopy dirt and the environment.

Bottom line is that there is fault in logic... if it would hold, I should been flying WW2 DCS plane in a rotten state. ;)

I also like the updated cockpit!

Another issue I haven't seen reported is that the mirrors are super dark even in clear days. I can't hardly see anything. They were Ok before the updated

I'm aware of the mirror issue. Ive submitted a ticket to ED a long time ago.

Good to know, thanks!

There is a hole in the left cockpit wall

Yup, and its already sorted. Just have to wait for the patch with it:

Cool, thanks!

Very nice to see that Mig is again getting attention. Thanks!

Night lights in the cockpit are much improved in 2.5.2, however now the gear lights shine again through fuselage into the cockpit and light it up badly.
