MiG-21 Flight Sim (Read desc.)

8,497 MageMobius  3.3 years ago

Low-effort stuff (Actually quite high-effort cause i had to make it just right).

A very simple MiG-21 (Ripoff I think) that performs just like the real thing (Or at least it performs like those MiG-21s you find in flight sims).

  • Roll, pitch, yaw, throttle, brakes. All normal.
  • VTOL down for flaps.
  • AG 1 to release fuel tank.
  • AG 7 to deploy drag chute.

Beware that this is a realistic performing take, so don't expect this to do a full circle/loop in 3 seconds. And yes, full burners in 90° climb is dangerous, as the plane doesn't have thrust-weight ratio of 1.0. You'll eventually fall back down.

(Also sorry, no trim)

    @Falkenwut I'll see what i can do with aircraft collisions. Landing gears weren't the problem, as it still shoot itself with the boresight clear

    @MageMobius You can disable aircraft collisions, or set it up that you can't activate them till gears are up.

    @Falkenwut Good ideas, will definitely implement those. However as for the gun part, there's a reason why i put the guns in the wings. I did have the gun underneath the fuselage like the real thing, but it always shot itself. Probably because the gun's too close to the fuselage, or the use of hollow fuselage? I don't know, but that's pretty much the reason why i decided to put the guns in the wings

    I like the simplicity to it, and flies pretty smoothly!
    For better realism, I suggest you fix up the following:
    For trims, set the rotator input to "Pitch+Trim".
    For flaps, Set the Control Surface to "clamp(VTOL,-1,0)"
    Place the guns underneath the fusalage (as per the real thing)
    Implement the airbrakes with slightly lower drag force.
