mk_MIG-21 Fishbed Bis elevator problem

[kchang]

Anyone tried this beautiful MIG21? (middle of the page)

however the plane won't pitch down (elevator won't move down when stick pushed forward)
Can this be fixed by modifying .cfg or other files?

kchang,

Looks like an oversight in the air file. The elevator angle down limit was set too low. I assisted Morton with the flight dynamics, sorry - mea culpa. The top speed is way too low as well, so i made some adjustments to afterburn thrust and parasite drag to get things more in line with 1385 mph, a little more than Mach 2.0.

Now, i don't know how familiar you or others reading this might be with swapping air files. So, overwrite your current *.air file with the one in this zip. Then, extract the aircraft.cfg from the zip, copy the (title=blah blah blah) line from your current cfg to this one, then drop it into your Mig 21 folder and let it overwrite.

Thanks for the files, I used AirEd and found out that elevator down limit was only 0.04 radian (translate roughly to 2.3 degree), I changed it to 0.4 and it worked fine.

But since I'm new to cfs2, I would use your air and cfg, and please have Morton update his package, this is such a high quality model, it looks great and should fly great.

Thanks again.

...I'll defer the update talk to the librarian. Rami, you help with this?
