Wow, thx for this great news! The best and the last MiG-21 was from Captain Sim for FS9 but it was long, long, long time ago! Model looks very well and procedures + futures! Yes, this news is very good for me, definitely.

**ZsoltB** · January 24th, 2011, 23:41

I think the best ago, the F-13 model!

**Mithrin** · January 25th, 2011, 00:00

Man that looks awesome! What a beauty. Cockpit looks great too!

Hey Mark why don´t you use a Proxy to avoid that problem???, you can turn it on and off as needed.

I agree. Especially after someone sent me a revised FDE.

Also check out this video (sorry Mark and I hope I'm looking at the same model) with engine startup and towards the end, views of the different possible external configurations. Very pleased to see the wing tank option included.

New shots!

More I recive from developer and put as in Today news on website http://yoyosims.pl/ . Sorry it is in Polish but You can see it, just click "TUTAJ" ("here"), or use a Google translator

. Im very excited to see MiG-21MF for FSX with all startup process. In FS9 we have small choice (but it exists) with MiG-21, in FSX ... no.

And for those who don't know, this is actually his second Mig-21, his first (the F-13 model) was released over a year ago. Works well in both FS9 and FSX, and has been superbly repainted by both Henry William and Zsolt Beleznay.

This should scratch your Mig itch going until the MF is released ...

That aircraft looks amazing. I am away from my pc and downloaded the package to Goodreader on my iPad. I see only bmp textures. Have anyone tested if it will accept dds textures ?

Thanks

Dag, I converted the BMP files to DXT5 DDS and all works fine. I also aliased the common textures to one folder so I could remove the duplicate ones from the other texture folders:

fresnel_ramp.dds
gazik.dds
kukykuk.dds
kukykuk_l.dds
MiG-21MF_budiky.dds
MiG-21MF_budiky_lm.dds
MiG-21MF_forsaz.dds
MiG-21MF_forsaz_noc.dds
MiG-21MF_FR.dds
MiG-21MF_glass_spec.dds
MiG-21MF_glass_T.dds
MiG-21MF_VC1_lm.dds
MiG-21MF_VC1_T.dds
MiG-21MF_VC2_lm.dds
MiG-21MF_VC2_T.dds
MiG-21MF_VC3_lm.dds
MiG-21MF_VC3_T.dds
MiG-21MF_VC4_lm.dds
MiG-21MF_VC4_T.dds
V3S.dds

And for those (myself included) who do not have track IR some external and VC camera views: Attachment 41868

hschuit, what program are you using to perform the DDS conversion or is it a batch file quick/click convert type file?

**Quax d. Bruchpilot** · July 3rd, 2011, 08:43

Just tested this beauty. For all who have problems to start up like me (THX german GEMA) .I have simply replaced the panel.cfg with some other from FSX. Okay that really makes no fun but better as sitting in the cockpit and waiting for a new start up movie. I hope Ivan will post a new one ???

For all having issues starting the model, there is a quickstart button in the simicon group you can access by hitting Shift 2. Clicking that button will configure everything for flight except flaps and landing lights. It takes a minute or so for the engine to start but it will start.

I think there´s already a quick start function included!

All you have to do is:
- press SHIFT+2 and
- in the pop-up window press the button for the vehicle (ground power) and after that
- press the quick start button
- after some seconds the aircraft engine spools up ...

This machine is 110% fun !

I feel kinda dumb, but how did you get the external fuel tanks?

Take a look at the manual for the panel (Pravý panel) :
- on page 5 (right side of the cockpit) you can see a panel button No 3
- use the mouse to turn it to the right
- then a weapon control panel opens for the five external weapon stations ...

It´s a bit easier if you have activated the "tool-tips-function" in fsx because many buttons are then described in english.

Thanks for the tip! Anyone know what the center console that pops up is for..?

Hi,
Id like to ask the others. Do You star engine with startup procedures? I noticed some difficult to start engine (with videos too). Turbine dosnt start too, only when I push throttle more. Next - something bad with flight model. Roll is ok for delta wings, but vertical flight is quite strange. Very offen plane wants to fly to ground and forces minus vertical speed (with 400 km/h). Sure, I enjoy of this MiG something like 1-2 hours, so small period. Mabye Im wrong, but somathing strange with FM.
