Hi mate!

Just installed on my 410 DBW 1.71 installation the last MiG21 fix , with the last Engines hotfixes and JW 1.32 hotfix and got a lot of slideshoot effect when flying and in my log this report is repeated countless:

Moreover when MiG is destroyed from a missile I still see like a tracer freezed at midair....maybe related with this I find at the end of log:

Other strange issue that I don't noticed before is that when engaging MiGs now use less their missiles even if them are in a wondeful 'six' position and at a distance which is decreasing from about 1800 meters....and K-13 is engaded....

On 411 the error message isn't present (apart the weapon one at the end of the log) but the MiGs have the same unshooting behaviour....

Yes, these are EXACTLY the same issues I have. I also use 4.10+DBW.

As for AI crashing into terrain during landing approach, "is there any chance (R)" to have the altitude of the descent pattern increased as well (currently they fly below 500-400 meters during entire approach, causing them to crash into mountains) to something like 1000m? (unless the 20km wide descent pattern is not intentional.)

I conduct more killing test with Phantom with Sidewinders or MiG-21 with Atolls vs Tu-4 and while the former have a kill media of 75-100% the latter have a kill media of abot 25%....all in the same condition missions....

....I hope that the ground crashing attitude 'll be solved after optimization for (or from) 412 code which should give a improved Ai groud recognition and avoidance....

In the meantime , since I fly mainly US jets , having some MiGs a little unwilling to shoot me is a good training situation!



Nowadays we must always look at the half full glass than at the half empty one!!!!

All the very best at all!

See us in 412 jet powered skyies!!!

Try installing JetWar v1.3 with latest SAS Engine Mod

I tried this and all MiGs 21 works now .
Thanks !

Hello all !
I'm quite new to this forum altough I have been checking theses for a few weeks, following the anouncements about the MiG 21 mod that I waited so long, being one of my fav planes.

And I am not disapointed ! This plane is an absolute killer to fly  ! So much power and smoothness ! Easily one of my top 5 mods for il2 ever ! Now I'm waiting for a finished Phantom with RIO seat, a jet bomber to get some meat for the MiGs, and why not some others jets from that era (Mirage III or a so much lovely Drakken  ) ?

I've readt a few pages ago that the 21 is quite hard to land. True story, but yesterday I made a landing that astonished me...a complete "out of the blue" landing with no aproach, no serious glidepath,...

(sorry for the bad quality of the vid)
It made me think that, in fact, the 21 can be landed without problem if I respect the golden rules of the speed and angle of attack (300kph and ~10° on touchdown). I even land it easier than the Phantom that is an absolute crap to control below 450kph.

Merci beaucoup again to all people involved in that great mod, I look forward to make some "uchronic" WWIII missions !
Peace !

The video is set privated thus can't be view  . Also, I'm the author of the F-4 mod, and sorry to disappoint you, but since multi-crew is not yet supported for jet war, so doing backseat for Phantom is kinda pointless, So I won't do it.

Anyway, this is a not request thread so let's keep the topic about the MiG-21  .

Cheers,

S3

Link corrected  .
Thank you for the answer on the F4 !

About the MiG 21, I was also wondering, was there (in real life) a version with gun inside (ie. not with the GP-1) ?

[S3231541]

Internal guns already featured in 3rd gen MiGs, which is currently fixing bugs, once done, it can be release.

Jesus, that was a landing:
1. Approach at Mach 1+
2. On a curved glidepath.
3. After split-s
4. Landed half-way between the ends of the runway.
5. Didn't use SPS
6. Didn't use drogue chute.

Jebediah Kerman is proud of you!

I have more fun when not using the drogue chute. I've been able to get down pretty solid now nearly every time. I only use the drogue for emergencies.

Nice !
Any idea of how long to wait for the release , please ?
