Nice job. I used to hate the look of the MIG-21, but I've learned to love it after I bought it. Hope you have more of these, because it is a thrill to fly. Maybe next how to land this lawn dart.

Commie hot rod... It's pretty cool.

This is our main ride at JG1, love this bird.

Still doing my best to learn and, hopefully, master this beast. Honestly, found your video a lot easier than the tutorial.

Thank you for taking the time to make this MiG-21 lesson for us Tactical Pascale.

Terrific intro to a terrific tutorial. Thank you!

You have reignited my interest in the first module I ever bought. I need to learn/relearn all the systems.

Version 2.0 is in the works. They are redoing the visuals and some of the systems of the whole thing.

Great video. I'm back to DCS thanks to 2.7, so I'm going to watch along with these videos and finally learn the Mig 21. Thanks for the content :)

Great video. Comparing your flow to mine they look about the same. Glad I'm not missing anything. Regarding the Mig 21 brakes they are pneumatic. Your pressure gauge is on the right panel forward of the fuel pump switches. You'll just use up your air if you leave the gear handle in the up position. Not hydraulics. If that does happen you can use the emergency brake pull handle (left of the nose wheel brake handle) to at least get stopped on the runway. It uses the emergency air system and applies roughly half of max braking power. I don't believe you can steer with it though.

Yep. No chute either with an empty main system.

Great tutorial! I'm gonna pick up this module at the next sale so this will come in handy.

Damn ... that intro! Goosebumps big time! Great stuff!!!

I really lilke to fly the Mig21, it has some of this old-school-analog-vibes - you really "feel" that you are flying an old fighter with much too much power and an airframe, that is not optimised and not controlled by a computer thats doing the hard part of the work. It would be great if you could do a video about some combat tips and tactics and how to avoid getting outturned by those filthy F-5s. Keep up the great work, really like your videos!

Kudos for the intro, just glorious!

Very nice, looping for the next video. Subscribed !😊

The Mig-21 has a better combat record in DCS than in the real world!

Great video! For the glitches you mentioned at 6:32, I've found that disabling the track recording helped to prevent those. You need to add an "autoexec.cfg" file in Users\\Saved Games\DCS\Config, with the line disable_write_track = true

love this bird, almost prefer flying it than any of the modern fighters! So much character!

the quintessential RedFor plane :) if i were to get a MiG.. it would be the 21. but Man; Russian cockpits are intimidating :) the Hind looks to be toggle hell too :p

This is just so much better than the default tutorials in game. Much, much better. The attempt at humour in the in-game Mig 21 tute is fun and all, but nothing is explained and it rushes past important stuff so you have to rerun the whole damn thing from the start just to work out what is being said. ED should get someone like TP to do the in-game stuff. The third party modules are the most terrible (and the Mirage tutorials are by far the worst) but even the ED module tutes are poor. Much poorer than just this video, which doesn’t have the interactive elements.

Just got this on free to play today. Been flying there Hind since release and it’s amazing how similar this startup is to the Hind. Have to love Russian tech.

Yes it is 👍

You can maybe, depending on server use the ecm pod for countermeasures and the jato for takeoff aswell.

epic intro man

They’re on the schedule.

2:30 - Just go past the idle cutoff detent and leave it there. Not like in the video. Moving throttle forward may cause the engine flooding followed by extreme exhaust gas temperature. 3:18 - Do not power up the emty pylons. It is useless. Also you should not switch the IR/SARH missiles master arm power switch while on ground. It is used as the master arm switch. You should not turn it on on the ground, take off or landing for safety reasons. 3:50 - Not "On/Off". But "On/Stand By". You have to understand how the radar works. How the vacuum tubes work. You need to keep radar in stand-by mode unless you will have to wait around 5 minutes to heat up the vacuum tubes to the operating temperature. If you don't use radar, keep it in the Stand By mode. It will last for around 45 minutes in the stand-by mode. It is more than enough. It is much longer than usuall flight time is. About turning - right opposite way. First depress rudder pedals, then press the wheel brake paddle. It is good to have analogue paddle controller. It makes turning much more precise. 6:00 - Wrong. It will not use all hydraulics. It will deplete all compressed air - pneumatics. Not because it tries to raise gears. Because the air powered wheel brakes are applied when the gear lever is in retract position. This causes compressed air leakage. 6:55 - You forgot to connect the nose wheel brake for better braking power at take off and landing. 7:40 - It is not warning. It is the passing marker beacon beeping. 9:00 - Those are not jet engines. Those are solid fuel rocket engines.

i see this vis now 30 times..

So do you momentarily hit the brakes and rudder to go the direction you need to go ?

@TacticalPascale

Rudder in, press and hold brake, release as you start to head where you want.

You need to lock the gear after takeoff - if not, you lose too much air for the brake pressure!

@@TacticalPascale It's been some time but i think i remember that you have to lock the gear after setting back the handle to neutral, it is an additional step, you just manually secure the handle with the metal clip, just like you unsecured it initially to raise the gear.

The visual differences between population centers in the 70s vs today, from the air, are negligible. The only buildings that have changed are located in downtowns of large cities. Every map in DCS is a cold war map.

I disagree Gary

MiG 21is a very old plane, but still so many people love it. I don't see why mocking it, if you love'em - you love'em...to compare it with Boeing F/A-18E/F in terms of "sofistication" is just plain dumb...F-86 "Sabre" is even older, but for me it's still the most beautiful bird that ever flown... p.s. And no one seems to notice this BS???
