MiG-21bis Fishbed Guide Update
Added 2021-06-01 12:56:04 +0000 UTCHi folks!
I've been wanting to re-do the MiG-21 guide for a long, long time. The MiG-21 was the first third-party aircraft I bought for DCS back in 2014 and I remember fondly the first time I experienced the awesome kick and roar of the afterburner... with the sense of sheer terror as you approach for a landing at breakneck speeds. It's a real trip back in the time of interceptors, smoky engines and terrible missiles. I can't recommend it enough.
The module itself hasn't changed much system-wise since then, but I thought that the ongoing efforts of Leatherneck Simulations (now Magnitude) to keep improving the cockpit and optimize the module deserved some extra effort from my part to give the MiG-21 a worthy guide. Pretty much every section was re-written almost from scratch. I've taken special care to expand the radar, weapon, autopilot and navigation sections, and I think the overall result will be much more helpful than it initially was. I've corrected many small (and not so small) mistakes across the document. The page count increased from 130 to 325+ pages... I hope you enjoy reading them!

There's no hurry on my side. Take all the time you need. Plenty of other toys to play with. ;-)

2021-06-02 00:37:02 +0000 UTCBy coincidence the MiG was my first module too. And it is next to the AV-8 my most beloved bird in my hangar. Without your guide in the first, I wouldn't have been able to fly it. So many, many thx! But 200 additional pages? You're killing me!
