Cobra847 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Dear All, With 1.5.4, we will be launching two major improvements to the MiG-21. We have more improvements lined up for the MiG-21, including bugfixes and visual improvements. These will be detailed at a later time. Flight Model In order to ensure accurate and realistic flight performance, we've spent a lot of time and focus on tweaking the MiG-21s' flight model in all flight regimes. With the unique position of our lead FM programmer being an active duty MiG-21bis pilot; we were able to take more real-time telemetry and video data from several recent training flights. Such data is invaluable to us, and serves to further help with verifying subjective pilot/programmer feeling. More overt changes will likely be most easily recognized in the critical and supercritical flight regimes, where the aircraft now performs more to what you'd expect (and also more reminiscent of one of our earlier revisions). There are, however, significant changes across all performance and flight parameters. We look forward to you flying the MiG-21 and providing feedback where applicable! Cockpit Night Lighting While we have several more, significant, visual improvements pending implementation (and backporting) to the MiG-21bis; we will begin by re-implementing the night flood lighting. These lights will have a performance impact pending upgrades to the core engine. The lights will not be available in 1.5.4 Open BETA. They will be made available in 1.5.4 Release. Full changelog: MiG-21 Changelog 1.5.4 Added red cockpit lighting* Added right side white panel spotlight* Corrected several Z-Fighting issues in cockpit artwork* Added missing glow on several switches and levers* New major Flight Model update & revision Adjusted critical & supercritical flight envelope Adjusted acceleration FM now more closely matches performance data Corrected several SAU stabilization issues Tweaked SAU for FM changes Fixed intermittent cockpit shake (2.0.X & 1.5.4 bug) Completely overhauled RP-22 Sapphire radar logic and raycasting Corrected several issues with radar indication and targeting Corrected erroneously wide IR missile FoV *Will be available in 1.5.4 Release Thanks for your support!

Hadwell Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 lol every time i start to get used to how things are with the mig-21, they change again, keeps me on my toes... but if the choice is between knowing how the plane is currently modled, and having the plane modled more accurately, I'll choose more accuracy every time.

MBot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Very exciting. The FM programmer also being an active duty pilot on said airframe is truly an extraordinary opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's great news! Thank you very much LNS! :thumbup: To me, it is as important that you keep working on "old" modules (as far as necessary) as the development of new ones. So I'm really happy about these news :) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

firmek Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Great news and great job! I've just recently got the Mig-21 but it's quickly becoming one of my favorite modules. I don't want to sound like a noob but thanks to the fact that it doesn't have the it HUD the "side effect" is learning to fly by instruments.
