Just bought her and downloaded the original JNA manual from 1979/83... my first jet. Lost of work ahead...

 

Anybody flying her?

Yeah, what kind of nurd likes the Fishbed?

 

It's a pretty awesome module. Simple to grasp, even.

Bought it. Didn't regret it for a second.

I'm going through the original manual (21bis) of the yugoslav airforce ( 238 pages from1979) and the DCS manual (198 p)... They seem to have modeled every single thing the real airplane has. Very impressive.

 I wish I still had the ground crew manual for the plane. Could set the pre-flight settings in cockpit before the start up :)

I think the pre flight settings are in the operational manual (english) at page 70... in the yugoslav manual at page 74. The manuals are almost identical. Start up is a little bit different in the oder compared to the sim manual... but they still work in the sim as well (RL manual start up procedures).

 I recall the startup was pretty straightforward. Groundcrew supplied external power for the starter. Mig-21bis took over 1000 Amperes of current when that starter cranked the engine!

 No, I did work on it :)

Great :) My father's flight instructor was also an MIG21 instructor. He loved her.

 

Where did you work on her?

 Finnish Air Force. Not for long, but enough to learn it. 17 years under my belt now with planes and counting :)

Just splashed 2 Fulcrums and a Flanker on a friend's server.

Today I saw 2-3 Mig 21bis flying over Belgrade:)

 Here the Mig was called affectionately the "Flying sewer tube" as it is a tube with stubby wings :D
