For P3Dv4 and P3Dv5! It looks amazing, with systems and visuals on par with the DCS Fishbed module it seems!

https://secure.simmarket.com/golden-key-studio-mig-21bis-fishbed-extended-edition-p3d4-5.phtml

I have linked to the "extended edition" which includes more capability than the standard:

The following functions are not included in the standard edition:

  • Fully functional integrated WEAPON system
  • Realistic Visual Effects (Windshield rain effect, BIRD strike effect etc.)
 
Uh, nice! I have very good MiG-21 in DCS but who knows.... :wavey:.
The price is really high so its not spontaneus purchase.

Looks great-- I may spring for it. Hopefully they pounce on the F-111 next-- that will be a MUST buy for me. Had the old version and loved it.

Anybody got the weapons to load, I have the extended version but nothing seems to work.

I can’t get them to work either. I sent them an email saying as much and you should too. They got back to me asking to confirm it was the extended model and that I’m not starting from a saved cold and dark file. They also said they will be doing a video on weapons loading in the future. With that said, this could also be a bug that they may look into, so more emails to them the better.

Thanks and will do.

The dev is aware of this thread and our issues. They have registered to this forum and are waiting for activation. They have been very responsive to me, and have asked me to explain step by step how I am installing and what I am seeing. Appreciate it if you do the same so they can troubleshoot.

EDIT: If mods can grant GKS Sergiy permission to respond to this thread, they'd like to pursue this issue further here.

I am on Academic, which is fine but i would have thought the weapons would still show? Hopefully GKS will come up with a solution.

Not a huge problem as a lovely model.

It states on simMarket that you need (Prepar3D v4.5 or 5.1 PRO PLUS) for the extended version weapons to work.

Seems like a direct path to severely limiting the market. I suspect VERY few simmers have the PRO PLUS version...although I may be mistaken. Very puzzling strategy (to me at least).

I am sure that was not on there when i purchased it, but may be wrong.

if we can get the weapons to show and not shoot in Academic, that would be good.
 
I looked and was very impressed, a decent Mig-21 has long been on my list of 'Iconic' aircraft.
Then I noticed the for Pro Plus and immediately backed away.
Not that I wish to discharge the ordnance, it's just that they look naked without any stores hanging off them.
:banghead:
 
Also there are more skin available on the EE version, as you only get one in the standard.
 
Wasn't the price higher in the beginning?

I was surprised that the weapon was working (without TackPack) and now it turned out that it was Pro plus, who has it ; ) ?
+1 for although models of weapon (with payload manager) and weight for this and working external fuel tank (I dont know work it now or not) on the P3Dv5 Academic.

Pity, really just one? 3-4 good quality skins is ok for me (instead of 15 of poor quality), so like in A2A approach but the one only ... ? :)

Are you sure? On product page for Standard version I see few skins https://secure.simmarket.com/golden-key-studio-mig-21bis-fishbed-standard-edition-p3d4-5.phtml .

Hi to all!

I know you are a disappointed that the weapon does not work in the academic version.
This is entirely our fault, we did not check the functionality of the weapon on the Academic version.
This limitation of functionality works at the license level because all the necessary gauges,
weapon models and weapon configuration files of P3D weapon integrated system are exists in all P3D versions.

Thank you very much to Sean, he helped us figure out what the problem is.

In the next update we will try to support the maximum possible functionality related to weapons in the Academic version of P3D.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult and time-consuming to implement such functions as the homing of A2A missiles
without support from the P3D, but at least the implementation of conventional types of weapons,
unguided rockets and the jettison of drop fuel tanks can be implemented.

In the pro plus version, we are going to implement a basic radar functions
and an automatic guidance of the aircraft to the target's combat course.

We will publish the full list of features for the first update on the site in the coming days.

If you are disappointed with the lack of functionality in the Academic version,
you can return your money through the website, the agreement
allows you to do this and wait until we debug the weapons in the Academic version of the game.

Please ask questions or share suggestions, i will be glad to unswer
 
In terms of skins, we will be making more free skins soon.

Painting kit - This can be a problem, because PBR textures require special knowledge of the programs
(like Substance Painter), and the correct look requires adherence to technology.
And the technology is slightly different in the 4th and 5th versions of P3D.

So there are no more simple files in Photoshop.

Anyway, we will try to find solution which will sutisfy everyone.
Like providing us with special prepared templates
wich we can render at our end and share with comunity.
