Should the Bis carry flares or not? DCS one has them, but I cannot even add them to my Bis! Got it!

Ok mate! I want more of this! Mandatory pic, intruders over mainland China.

You guys are reaching a ultra level of graphic realism, with better avionics, man!!

Sorry, missed your question Josef

I haven't expressed properly, I mean, how you fly in a MiG-21 in dogfight, which tactics do you use?

Not a bad idea, but that will require TK to come here and talk with the modders.

Jeanba, thanks for that, curious how close those two planes were. Any MiG-21 expert can explain his tactics here?

I think is the first time I've seen such edition done in TK sims. My hat off Gerwin!

This is the new British carrier?

From the same town, Austin, a nice "coincidence"

Curious new member, she's from Austin, Texas...

I asked TK on Facebook, If we could ask for features, here's the answer, so there was hope ( I say "WAS", cause I doubt we could reach the 25k).

Amen to that!

You know we have NVG in Sf2, right?

Well, the Win10 update seems a reality, at least is something official from TK for SF2 after all this years.

Wondering If you have something in mind...

Nice to see you still around Monty!

BTW, is always interesting to read about new MiG tactics against the Mirage III for 1966-73 timeframe.

If for better engine you mean, solved bugs and new features like the ones I asked, I would vote for new engine any time. After all, I'm still flying Il2 1946.

As Sophocles said, we need both. I will be more than happy with in flight refuelling and slewable avionics, maybe TK should release the source code and the instructions of how to use it. lol

No not DCS Bis, I'm refering to the real bird, and our MiGs too.

While searching for proper schemes for 1982 Bekaa 21Bis, I found this story, not sure is true, but at least is interesting. MiG-21 doing Pugachev Cobra ( shoudln't the engine flame??) https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/unknown-story-syrian-mig-21-pilot-who-developed-cobra-maneuver-72081 specially this part... Mohammed’s initial solution was based on Soviet manuals and consisted of rapid descending turns followed by a sudden activation of the afterburner and a climb. However, in the course of one of related test-flights, in early 1967, Mohammad inadvertently pitched the nose of his MiG too hard, so that the forward movement of his aircraft nearly stopped. When he engaged the afterburner his MiG ended ‘standing on its tail’, with the nose pointing almost vertically into the sky, on the verge of flipping out of control. Mohammad recovered on time to prevent a crash, but it was a close call: in order to prevent this from happening again, he decided to try flying the same manoeuvre after engaging the afterburner, so to enable the engine to spool up on time (the Tumansky R-11 was notorious for its slow reaction to throttle movement). That was the moment that what later became known as the ‘zero speed manoeuvre’ was born.

You know that plane is totally false, right?
