Acesfakia, thank you, but that is not what I have requested. We have had the R and D pods for MiG-21R for ages (ever since SF1 series) and I can add these without any problem to any MiG-21 variant I like for the fun of it. However I prefer to stick to the actual situation and it was that the R and D pods were not fitted to the MiG-21MF. Instead a custom built RFK pod out of a UB-16-57UM rocket pod was used. The drawing by Linden Hill decals is not accurate according to Bulgarian MiG-21 pilots. I really do not mean to make a big discussion or argue with anyone. I placed a simple request, which cocas understood perfectly and spent his time in making the object I need. That is all. Perfect, cocas, greatly appreciate it.

Guys, please hold it. Cocas got my request very well. Cocas you have built exactly the shape I need. MiG-21MFR is not MiG-21R. It could well be that MiG-21MFR is only a Bulgarian designation for 12 MiG-21MFs that were modified for simple photo-recce missions. The RFK pod was a custom pod, built by Bulgarian technicians to give the MiG-21MF some simple recce capabilities. That was necessary because the MiG-21Rs we had, that used the "R" and "D" pods, shown by acesfakia in his post, had reached the end of their operational life and were grounded. At the same time the "R" and "D" pods were not fitted to other MiG-21 variants (MF or Bis), because of operational issues - the pods would change the balance of the MiG-21MF and bis to an unacceptable level and further more with a pod fitted, the MiG-21MF or bis woudl have to land with fuel level below the safety minimum. These are actual comments from Bulgarian pilots and technicians, who flew/operated the MiG-21R and MiG-21MFR at the time, shared in one of the Bulgarian aviation forums. Pictures of the pod are rare, I have seen just 1 (one) and it was with a poor quality, not much of a help for a modder. That is why I did not post a picture, nor a better blueprint. Edit: Here is the single picture available:

Yes, that's great! Thank you, cocas. Pictures are not available, but for 1, black and white and with very poor resolution. So, with respect to the skin it will be mostly guesswork on my side.

The picture shows the UB-16-57UM pod, not the RFK pod. I gave it only for general reference about the shape and size. The RFK pod is basically just the outer shell of a UB-16-57UM pod without launch tubes, or anything which is related to launching unguided rockets. My bad I did not provide a clearer drawing and I aplologize for that. I will edit the picture and remove the unnecessary details to avoid confusion. And, yes, considering what I have seen uploaded here at CA in terms of level of detail and complexity of the model, I believe the object I am talking about is simple. Of course I know nothing about 3d work, but the object is a tube, closed with a cone at the front end and a plate at the back end.

Hey, Martin, what do you know, another Martin in this thread...

What kind of pod is that, Crusader? Haven't seen it so far.

Oh, what a tease...

Denis, would you please include the AfterAtar9C.ini file in the pack? Without it the aircraft have no visible afterburner effect. Thank you!

Martin, check here, please, hope it helps a bit: https://books.google.bg/books?id=9ulNAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA98&lpg=PA98&dq=%D0%A1%D0%9F-14%D0%A1+%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80&source=bl&ots=ig6edrXyi1&sig=CLatzzNNzFTa-0TZcqNJAG8qTao&hl=bg&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjkkLClsanKAhUBlCwKHSduCZwQ6AEIKzAB#v=onepage&q=%D0%A1%D0%9F-14%D0%A1%20%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80&f=false Coming to think of it, I believe Lindr2 made this pod for his Su-17/22 pack, that was uploaded here: http://combatace.com/files/file/8096-su-1722-pack-ver-20/ Perhaps you could use his model to create your own - size and shape-wise...

Actually the latest Nvidia driver seems to solve the flickering issue.

Great shots in deed, must say though, that the camo on the MiG-21 looks much better now that it has warn off a bit, it looked kind of funny when the the paint was still fresh. The shots are from a recent training in Bulgaria.

saisran, thank you so much, your settings fixed the problem on my machine. Thanks a million.

Guys, I tried rolling back to an older version of the nVidia drivers, but I am getting a message that the version is not compatible with Win 10. What should I do to override that and still get the older driver installed?

Great news!

Love it... Thanks for the answer, Crusader.

Great job! Is the refueling probe animated on the AZ?

Martin, there is a stock Kfir C7? I thought TK stopped at Kfir C2 for the PC game and made Kfir C7 only for the smartphone/tablet game, hence my request to Denis to make a C7 out of the stock C2. Could you please tell me which game, or DLC, or Expansion pack it comes with? I'd love to add it to my game along with Denis' one. Or could it be that you are mistaking the TMF Kfir C7 with a stock one by TK?

If I remember well, there is a HidePylon setting in the weapon data.ini file that can be activated for weapons with built-in pylons. This way when the weapon is loaded, the aircraft pylon is not visible. Since the pod is loaded on different aircraft with the same pylon (as much as I can see on the pictures above), then it would better to make the pylon a part of the pod model and not part of the aircraft model.
