MiG-21Bison (21-93)


MiG-21 Bison aka MiG-21-93 aka MiG-21 UPG

 

*************************************

HISTORY

*************************************

 

In 1993 the MiG-21-93 made its debut on various airshows, for instance in Le Bourget and Berlin. It was a major update for the MiG-21bis which incorporated a modern radar, a modern data link system and modern ECM capability.

The MiG-21-93 had a dramatically increased combat capabilities. It now can engage air targets at medium range and can use precison guided weapons against ground and sea targets.

India updated its MiG-21bis fleet to the 21-93 standard and called this bird now MiG-21Bison. The bison showed its combat efficiency in various training combats including against american F-15's.

 

**********************************************

MiG-21Bison for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits

**********************************************

While making the Bison i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files!

 

The plane itself:

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Model by TK

 

 

The Cockpit is taken from Mirage Factories MiG-29A

~~~~~~~~~

 

Cockpit by Mago

 

 

The added objects.

~~~~~~~~~

I took the MiG-23 drop tank to create the longer MiG-21bis style back of the bird. Then i used CIACHOs AKU-58 file to create the chaff flare dispensers

 

And finally my little share

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I edited the Data file to implement the guided missiles, added the ECM and Chaffs etc. And i modified the original Skin to create a fictional East German Bison, the russian and the Indian version.

 

I know that the Indian Bisons are more grey than the light blue, but due the Fake pilot methode i used to place the added objects i had to decide which color this objects should have and so i decided to use a light blue instead the grey.

 

 

I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit.

This is the best model of the MiG-21 Bison from all those who were converted from the MiG-21bis!

But, nevertheless, there are still many inconsistencies that do not allow the full name the aircraft is the MiG-21 Bison.

Chief among them - this discrepancy appearance cab!

In my opinion, the transformation is impossible to achieve full compliance and accuracy!

That this conclusion was mainly in the decision to establish a model of the MiG-21bis and other versions based on it from the very beginning - a new model ...

But I have the firm intention to create this model.

A complete new MiG-21bis would be very welcome.

Of course i know that my Bison is not perfect. I made all what is possible via Fake Pilot methode. For a real Bison a complete new canopy must be designed and this is not possible with Fak Pilot. Unfortunatly.
