MiG-21 modeling discussion.

[+Gepard]

ключ means key, so you can translate включ as switch on or activated

АП – Autopilot

КСИ – (Kurssystem) course system

цд - central damper or smoother, is automatically damping the vibrations of the plane during flight

КАП - (Kursautopilot) course autopilot

I think it are different modes of the autopilot. Some soviet autopilots were able to follow a given course of 3 to 5 waypoints and were able to activate some actions, like weapon release. There is also a "panic system", which brings the plane automaticaly in level flight. This is helpfull if the pilot lost the orientation during flying in fog or clouds. It is said, that it worked very brutal and fast. The central damper or smoother is used when flying in aerodynamic turbulences.

This model, which was commissioned by someone a while ago, I will soon share with everyone on Combatace.

 

This will become the single biggest reason for me to reinstall SF2 again! 

Speaking on the earlier discussion about MiG-21M and MFs, the MiG-21M was license manufactured in India by HAL in large numbers with the designation Type 88 adn was powered by the R-11 engine to maintain engine commonality with the MiG-21FL which too was license manufactured in India .
Two squadrons worth of MiG-21MFs(Type 96) were acquired off the shelf directly from the Soviet Union which had the capability to fire the Kh-66 missile(the HAL built MiG-21Ms lacked this capability)
