MiG-21F13 released

2 and 13 are the same switch, I put them both on there so the order is known. :wiggle:


As for the hangars, that could be any russian milbase.

Thanks for the info about the hangars. I have not checked my scenery objects, but those are really nice hangars. If I don't have them, ....I'd like to find them somewhere, if available.

I mean they're add-ons, for sure, but there are many possible airports / addons it could be from, it'd be hard to find the exact one.

Thanks. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will have the scenery and reply.

Update: I emailed the designers associated with that site. Am sure they will give me the information!

Thanks Alexander, got it working now.

But you can certainly tell the MiG-21 was designed as an interceptor. Seems to have the turning circle of a small planet!

Inner circle: F-16 @ ~350kias
Middle circle: B747 @ ~275kias
Outer circle: MiG-21 'Venus' @ ~350kias

Somewhat more challenging keeping it in a smooth turn, too!
 
Once you get it up this is a very nice jet. :applause:

Ever since i first played Dogfight on the Amiga 500 i have had a fascination for the MIG 21. In that game it was a superior plane, it was intended to be fighting against the F-4 phantom but you could take it on against other airplanes too and you could even take down the F-16 with it. :icon_lol:
 
Back in the late 1970's, when we were still fighting the Cold War with the USSR, I attended a Red Flag. They had a MIG 21 at Nellis, AFB.

I remember how small the cockpit was. My 6'0" 200# frame could hardly fit. There was no way to look behind you, except with rear view mirrors, which really suck for finding someone about to hose you from the six. I had a sense of claustrophobia.

I figured that is why Russia gave so many to China and North Vietnam. They could fit in the cockpit. It did its job and was a good adversary.
 
Funny you should mention that ,John, as today my postie has dropped off my copy of Red Eagles America's Secret MiG's by Steve Davies (no...not the snooker champ;) ) which highlights the black program involving the testing and evaluation of soviet aircraft by 4477th Squadron.
 
The MiGs of area 51

Thanks for the pictures and tutorials.

this is rather tricky to start lol especially when you can't read the controls lol but I seriously think this model and cockpit has been really well done so thanks for the heads up on it!!
 
I don't even know if I have time for this mess. This is very detailed and potentially fun freeware, but it's not worth trying to make switches that don't move move for a half hour.
 
Nice model ..pitty I cant be start ..Switches 7,8,9,10 are not moving so the start up procedure is usless..CTRL+E not working either .Beautiful but extremely frustrating so it,s not a keeper for me either.So sad , it had the perfect layout for phototextures.
 
wait

A suggestion for engine start--

WAIT for it to show on the N1 and N2 gauge, it takes a couple minutes, or so, then wait again before clicking 13 (2) which removes external power. Slowly advance throttle before going past 100% and into AB. That seems to work for me.

I wonder about the elevator flight control, too.
