Oooooh dloading now Thanks for the Heads up mate.

A single seater with a VC at long last :ernae:
cheers ian
Let me say, this is the best MiG-21, payware or freeware, to be released yet, and it's something I've been dreaming for. The textures are beautiful, and it looks easy to paint, and the VC is fantastic. The model is great, with so many little details and eye-candies (even you can open the engine and pick your loadouts). It is too shiny though, but a quick fix with MDLMat makes it perfect for me.
It is a challenge to start and many systems are modelled. Great immersion here, you get a good look at how it is to fly a Fishbed.
This is a keeper for sure.
A challange too start , it's definatly Homer proof cos I can't get it too fire up lol
PHo17, thanks for the heads-up and Lazerbeak thanks for the quick description. Got it d/l'ing right now.

Hope it helps.

There is one in the download along with a written description by the author on starting the aircraft. Be that as it may, the link from VFR Alexander is much more simplistic and while I read the documents and looked over the screens of the cockpit with numbers in place to reference the descriptions, those simple screenshots quickly got the aircraft started and me in the air.
One minor criticism. . . I understand the need for realism, however I don't read or speak Russian. . .cockpit tooltips in English please.
The VC is a gem and if I understood Russian, moving around and getting acquainted with the dials and switches would be much more enjoyable. . .I'll deal with it. Sounds are great and the feel with trackIR is marvelous.
The aircraft seemed mushy to me however. On take off it had plenty of speed, but pulling up to a steep climb only made it feel like the tail section wanted to go back home, so a shallow take off seems to be the way to go until the airplane decides on it's own to climb a little more. The only time it felt like it wanted to stay airborne was if I was at full mil or AB. Especially on approach, it very much resembles the F-104 in that slower (normal) approach speeds were out of the question. . .stay on it until the wheels touch down, then drag chute and brakes and it stops relatively quickly. Landing speeds were above 200kias.
Again, in the air, the airplane just seemed to want to wallow around rather than sit up and fly right, lol.
It'll take a bit to master the startup (love all the ground equipment, chocks, engine dolly, covers, etc.), but that'll come with practice and the things I found wrong with the FDE could simply be my lack of knowledge with the aircraft. At least I got it to start so it won't go in the trash just yet.

Having got it started, I'm not to keen on turning it off again. lol
While I'm not at all an expert on flying MiG's, just going by what I've read, the flight model appears to me true to life. The MiG-21 was a fighter but was designed to excel as a high-speed interceptor. It had a fame for difficult control, and you really had to struggle to get it to "behave" due to a small delta-wing and oddly-designed fueltanks. Like you said, it was very much like the F-104. This is especially true in early models like this one.
Now again, this is just my observation based on my very (very) limited knowledge, so maybe I'm wrong.
If you just want to jump in and fly then remark out the following line from the panel.cfg:
gauge32=MiG21F13!Automat motoru, 0 , 0 , 10 , 10
This will stop the engine shutdown and the start procedure being defined by the gauge.

Thanks for the tip Kurt. I was going to ask if anyone knew how to get around the PHD level of knowledge needed to start this plane. Looks amazing. Would be a shame if it saw more use as a static display model than a flying model.

Many thanks for this tip kurt190!
That really is a nice airplane
Wow !!!!
Thanks for the Tip Gentlemen !!!
This "Dark Star" of the Six Day War is superb, for Fs9 and Freeware
with a full VC.
and
the opportunities of repaints are .... "obvious" .... to say the least.
Well done FlightSim.Cz !
