For quick problem fix you should also extract all bmp files related to CV63 and copy them to destination folder. I will update my Orjol carrier. Thanks for bug finding.

It is made for WOE. It are the standard files of the CV-63. Do you have WOE?

RCS of Su-27 15 m² RCS of MiG-29A 15 m² RCS of MiG-29M 1.5 m² RCS of F-16A 3.0 m² RCS of F-16C 1.0 m² RCS of MiG-21 1.5 m²

The small load of fuel was dedicated to the fact, that all MiG fighters (exaption 25 and 31) were designed as frontline fighters. The place of this birds was on airstripes short behind the frontline, so no big fuel ammount for long marching to the combat area was neccessary. The other idea was to safe weight. The MiG's were designed to operate from gras runways. A simple meadow was enough. But with heavy planes you cant operate from field runways, thatswhy the decision to build the MiG's as light fighter planes. The pitifull ammount of ammo is not as small as you think. Compare a MiG ammo load with the load of a Mirage or a british warbird. It nearly the same. 200 Rounds for a MiG-21 vs 2 x 135 Rounds for a Mirage F1. Its typical european (and not soviet) to have bigger calibers (big punch) with smaller ammo load than the american way to waste a lot of ammo of less capable caliber guns.

If i remember right in 1917 all Jasta 11 Fighters had the same red "camo" like Richthofen. The colourfull camos in the movies are fiction.

WEP, i hope i'm right, but do it mean the special regime of the engine? If so, then i can tell you that it was activated by pushing a button on the Throttle before you entered the afterburner regime. It was allowed for a short periode. If i remember right 3 or 5 minutes. The thrust of the R-25 was increased to 95 kN (!!!!!) what gave the MiG-21bis a combarable thrust weight ratio to the F-16A. The climb speed incresed from 190m/s to 225 m/s. It was allowed to use at low altitude, if i remember right up to 2.000 or 3.000 meters only.

Sorry, the F-22 or the F-35 are the wrong planes on the wrong time on the wrong place. The time of the big airbattles are over. What we really need are planes like the good old A-10, the Su-25 or Su-39. The F-22 or the F-35 are really nice birds, but not worth the money, at the moment.

yeah, its a deja vu to hear "This is Tophat controll!!" in the earphones. I would also like to hear "Hier ist Loki Bodenkontrolle!" everywhen.

Suhsjake: In the reworked version of my MiG-23MK HUD i use following lines : [HUD_Zielpunktlinie] //beweglicher Teil des Luft Boden Zielnetzes SymbolType=CCIP LaserRanging=TRUE FallLineImage=cockpit\hud\ZielpunktLinie.tga ImagePosition=0.0,0.00 ImageSize=0.020 The tga is a simple line. It use automaticaly the airgroundgunsight which is defined in the cockpits ini under the line AGGunsightName=

Libya and Syria, i have heard had also shown interessed for MiG-21/93 style upgrate.

In the avionics70.dll i have found: steering_cue and steerpoint_symbol this could be nice for making a soviet style navigation system (Follow the ball) like in Flanker 2.0 or LOMAC or Hind. But i dont know how get to work.

For the Radar we have some nice features which i would like to have in the HUD. For instance the Horizonline, the max and min rangebars of the weapon and the target rangebar. Has someone an idea, how to copy this features from Radar to HUD? Would be nice to have for further improvements of soviet HUD.

In the early 90th there was at various airshows a model of a never build MiG-33 to see. It was a single engine derivate of the MiG-29 and was intended to replace the MiG-21. Reminds me on that bird.

Nele, one short correction PFM is not S. The S was the first soviet MiG-21 with RP-22, the M was the export version of the S. Main difference from view is, that the M has GSha-23, the S had not. Then came the SM and for export MF. Then the SMT and for export MT, but nobody wanted to by it.

My goodness! size 149 MB!!!! What do you has packed in it?

This is what i have waited for. British voices in british planes. Great. What i also would love to see would be german voices for german birds.

Thanks, Paladrian. Pitot tube is now gone. Looks good.

Ah, i see. My fault. Will try it out. By the way, is there a way to delete the MiG-21MF pitot in the right of the HUD?

If you want to use it with SFP1 or WOV you must extract the files MiG-23M.lod MiG-23M_2.lod MiG-23M_3.lod MiG-23M_4.lod MiG-23M_5.lod from WOE objects.cat and copy them into your MiG-23M folder. ****************************************************** INSTALLATION: Unzip all files into your Wings Over Europe/Objects/Aircraft folder. Thats it. ****************************************************** The MiG-23MK is fiction, so far that no carrierborne MiG-23 was built in the Soviet Union. But during the 70th the Soviet Navy had a high ranking aircraft carrier programm (Orel or Orjol class). Orel was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier. For soviet carrier groups the MiG-23 was the planned interceptor, the MiG-27 the intended strike plane. From both types prototypes were built, as far as i know, and were tested at the Saki facility at the Crimea penisula. With the canceling of the Orel was no need for seria production of the MiG-23MK. ******************************************************* differences to stock MiG-23M: * modified flightmodel of the plane to improve the handling. * added capability to land on aircraft carriers * added on board jammer * added 15 flares and 15 Chaff * added Magos great MiG-21MF cockpit (thanks for it Mago!) * added working HUD (inspired by the HUD of Marcfighters Su-27 and TK's F-15 and Harrier. Thanks for it!) The HUD is much more improved than in my flyable MiG-23M * added the capability to carry 2 fuel tanks under the outer wings Known problem: You cant see the tailhook coming down. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hope you enjoy it Michael (Gepard) Submitter Gepard Submitted 11/18/2007 Category Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's

Paladrian, i tried it for my MiG-23M HUD and i had no success to delete the camera. Dont know whats wrong.

Some minutes ago i have uploaded a flyable version of the stock MiG-23M. I think tomorrow it will be available for download. I have included a simplyfied version of my MiG-23MK HUD. Comments and critique are welcome.for further improvements.

I tried it, but with no positive effect.
