[h=3]MiG-21bis[/h]Despite what one might think, the MiG-21Bis is not long and forgotten.
As told in the New year update, work on the 21’s cockpit fixes are coming along. We’ve also most recently improved the R3S missiles performance based on gathered and user provided references. We also continue our work on other mentioned issues.
As for the cockpit, the hardest and most frustrating job is scaling the virtual pit, into the external model. It’s progressing slowly and there are some issues that need to be dealt with before release. With that said, here are the proposed steps introducing the new pit once it is complete.

  1. Size and Fit into external model, and use original textures. Of course we’ll include a cleaner canopy at this point. This’ll be released as a bandaid for VR users. Afterwards….
  2. Begin creating a new mesh to negate any performance hits, and to help create better geometry for the new PBR texture workflow.
  3. Test n Release…
Now this does come with shortcomings as the position of the ASP symbols will change in relation to the gun barrel, and pilot’s view point.

The external model is also getting some love by fixing the spine’s mesh merging into the tail…Yes, that does mean slight modifications of camo patterns, but our artist used his best skills to mitigate any major texture changes. Rivets on the tail have been changed to reflect the ‘bis’ variation and not the ‘MF’ that is currently laid out.

  • A new, easy to use template along with a sample mesh will be available before the new mesh is released.
We have also been thinking about texture weight taking up users’ bandwidth, virtual memory and HDD/SSD space. It’s no secret our MiG-21bis uses a whopping 6GB of space and we want help reduce it!

  • Liveries have been split back into 6 x 4K sets, plus some 1 and 2K sets.
  • The new BC7 DDS compression will be used to keep the same quality, but lower the file size even more than the standard nVidia DDS plugin.
  • And we are still planning to reduce all 4K textures to 2K as the standard install. We will put the high resolution 4K Liveries on our website for those that can afford the performance. But not after some internal testing.
Finally, the introduction of overwing vapor is on the horizon! There are not many photos or videos showing the delta wing’s effects, but we think we have nailed it and will include it in a huge update along with the cockpit, external, and cockpit meshes!
 
Great news! One thing I hope they update is the engine sound, mainly in the cockpit. I have always felt the afterburner sound in the cockpit is overwhelmingly loud as well as the engine and wind sound in the cockpit was also off compared to videos I have seen. I had made my own mod to that using the F-5's sound but I don't think it works anymore after a previous update (which I was unable to reconfigure my sound mod to work properly).
