Ivan Jurcaga Mig-21MF soon! (now released)

**skyhawka4m** · July 8th, 2011, 11:12

I wonder what the chance of an SMT variant/model will be from these folks?

**ZsoltB** · July 8th, 2011, 11:26

Someone can say that this model, why not work the Captain Sim Weapon pack?
:-(
Any idea?

Its not somthing to do with the auto cone settings is it? What was the aircrafts top speed in real life could it go to mach 2.0?P.s. Zsolt would you please release your Finnish and Indian AF textures please?

Is the cone supposed to have a visual effect, because I haven't seen it move with it set to automatic or manually adjusting it.

**SeanTK** · July 8th, 2011, 14:12

The nose cone doesn't have a wide range of travel, but it does move on this (or at least my) model.

Here are some real world examples of the cone in various positions:

Finally, maybe if more repainters get involved, we can set a goal! At least one livery from every Mig-21 former/current operator. Here's the list:

That's why I asked if there are any Mig 21 pilots who would like to have high quality FDs for the Mig-21, but there wasn't a single reply....

Barfly sent me already very useful links, so it might be possible to achieve FDs of similar quality as for the Milviz T-38.

Here is a famed Russian repaint produced by french repainter Fulbert.

This is "Blue 30" seen in Reims french air force base in 1971 during a visit of the Soviet Air Force Chief Commander, Marechal P.S. Kutakhov.

http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewtopic.php?id=32795

On message No.5 of this topic "Fulbert" also offer a brand new configured version download of this Mig-21MF :

This new version take back all modifications proposed by Bob Chicilo but without the 2D panel, plus :

a realistic two underwing fuel tanks configuration
new contact points for the front wheel
the repaint kit
starting procedure
"Blue 30" repaint only

I download it and added after the original and add-on repaints on this version.
Very interesting !

The MiG-21 F-13 came out two years ago in July 2009. So who knows.

This Mig-21 is wearing "Cyrillic / Russian" Red or Blue inscriptions on each side

First flight, first landing. I'm happy. What an iconic aircraft! Awesome job, thanks so much! We need more of these kind of planes. Su-22 anyone?

**Lateral-G** · July 10th, 2011, 05:59

I need help getting the weapons and external tanks to display.....

I found the panel on the r/h side of the cockpit. There are buttons numbered 1 thru 9 and the button that denotes 10ths +/-

However,pressing these buttons yields no results. I've even flipped the weapons switches located on the right side c/p panel but still no joy.

What am I doing wrong?

You tried to change the loadouts using the ADF panel, loadout panel should pop up on the right side of the ADF panel.

Normal state:
Attachment 42934

ADF + Loadout Panel activated:
Attachment 42933

**richcreator** · July 10th, 2011, 06:47

If I would've posted that cockpit startup procedure video, I would've explained what I was doing and especially
allow everybody to hear the engines start up, which is what flight is all about, and left out the music.
If you would consider for a moment going to an air show, especially to see the Blue Angels, and the loud speakers
were playing music so loud you could not hear the airplanes at all. Would this appeal to you? And if
you complained, they told you to put on noise cancelling head phones and you just watched the airplanes and heard nothing ?

Downloaded it yesterday. Looks very usable.

- Edit: Cut down the aircraft folder from 160 to 55 MBytes thanks to texture.cfgs and a shared folder. Much better!
