Not if used in the right hands, like in the Indo-Pakistan war. :d
I am having a problem with the Landing Gear not wanting to go up and stay up. FSX Acceleration. Anyone else?

Would somebody please do paintkit for this![]()
For your information
My Mig-21F-13 was first totally unflyable
No elevator authority at all
Stick full back gave me a maximum of 5 degrees AOA just
to be able to a take off but do not try a looping it will
take 100,000 feet minimum to reach the top !!!!
I then reflown Pierre Marchadier's GMax Academy Mig-21Bis Fishbed N to compare flight caracteristics.
GMax Academy Mig-21Bis is in my mind more realistic and it is possible
to fly it.
This being said I made some trying and error flight tuning to the
Mig-21F-13 to mimic the flight caracteristics of the GMax Mig-21.
My final modification presented below is probably closer to reality
I can bring :
I change the elevator_effectivness ratio from 1.000 to 3.000
On the Cfg File you replace this :
[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=0.600
pitch_stability=1.000
roll_stability=0.504
yaw_stability=1.174
parasite_drag_scalar=0.330
induced_drag_scalar=0.850
elevator_effectiveness=1.000
aileron_effectiveness=1.900
rudder_effectiveness=1.000
elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.000
aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.000
rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.000
By this :
[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=0.600
pitch_stability=1.000
roll_stability=0.504
yaw_stability=1.174
parasite_drag_scalar=0.330
induced_drag_scalar=0.850
elevator_effectiveness=3.000
aileron_effectiveness=1.900
rudder_effectiveness=1.000
elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.000
aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.000
rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.000
I coud be totally wrong about the real flying caracteristics of the
F13 but really......I do not care.
At least I can fly my "F13" with someting closer to the GMax Academy Mig-21Bis.

Same here, until I used the trim.
With a good dose of back trim, the plane would behave correctly at takeoff.
