Mig-23 PF

516 Speedbird40  8.3 years ago

Speedbird40 is back baby! Y'know, I've always wanted a Mig-23 in DCS, but untill then why not one in Simple planes? Takeoff speed is 200 mph, landing is 170-190. WARNING! DO NOT *repeat* DO NOT ROLL VERY FAST FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME ABOVE 420 MPH! Also, the wing sweep is the slider, moving the bar down to sweep back. I personally like to keep the sweep at the bar between the middle and bottom of the slider. This allows a very nice balance of smoothness/stability, with turning. Sweeping the wings further back increases speed. Feel free to put any weapon on the pylons...(it can handle it). Hope you all enjoy, and again, its good to be back ;)
