DCS does this because the tire scrubs have a certain size so they spawn periodically centered on the tire. If the spawn was moved aft a bit it could improve the looks though.

Hello everyone. I'll be keeping a 'sort of' build diary of the MiG-21Bis external model.

Since the release of v1.2.3 thee model started showing a lot of shading and material errors. So obviously it has to be fixed In doing so, I am also updating some parts that look closer to the real deal.

Cheers!

It's all abbreviated to heck and back too. You'd pretty much have to learn each switch independently.

The model is already finished previously as you can see on the several WIP pics that I post previously. Now the development and test is based on this previous model. So we already developed a damage model, we have all things that required for other part (coding, test, etc...)
Due we have no final coding Rudel have time to polish the 3D model and this new one will be more realistic that I do in the previous model.. Also due he do 3D works I remain much time to do other things...

Thanks guys! As Beczl says

I'm utilizing a lot of what is already created. I've only had to scratch build a few items. The challenging part is smoothing, so the shadows in game look good.

The damage model is fine and doesn't need to be touch other than aligning.

Back to work now

Both the MiG-21UM from Captain Sim. It's very interesting to fly and do the exercises in the volume of these courses, ranging from simple to complex, improving their skills. That is, to fly as pilots flew hundreds of the airplane.

Yes, we have information on the CPP (the course of combat training) and Kulp (up training and flight training). We have real MiG-21bis pilots on our team. We also use a lot of personal and instruction from Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, veterans I have attached some basic instructions

Been a delightful couple weeks /sarcasm It's all good...lol I've been trying to per-fect some smoothing issues along the intake doors, but I'll have to come back too them. In the mean time, I moved onto the front airbrakes and gear doors/blisters. The airbrake actuators wil need some animation adjustment when ready. You'll notice the cutout above the gear doors when a wing gets blown off.

Among other things, I had to cut the fuselage in half and mirror it again. It can be a pain when using the scale tool as it moves vertices without notice. The nose fixed too, not 100% yet.

Now the radar can be recognise and shown tracked and recognised target identity. So basically IFF systems work like other DCS planes.

In real life this works differently. We have several equipment to achieve correct IFF and radar signals.

SOD air traffic control (ATC) transponder equipment/device similar to civilian transponder. It receives Air traffic control (ATC) radar signals, increases aircraft output signal and sends additional data to ATC radar. It’s purpose is to amplify the aircraft signal and enable air traffic controller to identify the aircraft at large distances or in cluttered radar screen. (We can set it up, but in case any other aircraft that has no SRZO-2 shown by MiG-21 as enemy. So we can't be implement fully in current DCSW environment)

SPO-10 RWR - It generate a visual and audio signal when any radar paint the MiG-21Bis even it's friendly or foe. (can't be implement fully in current DCSW environment, the current SPO-10 can receive only enemy signals)

SRZO-2 IFF system - It send and receive IFF signals for ATC and other aircrafts. If IFF switched off or code is not matched as required radars shown as enemy... (can't be implement at current DCSW environment, we working the solution how we can implement this)

DCS MiG-21Bis NewsFlash - Issue No.1

New reworked, reshaped and more detailed external model almost complete by -Rudel-. In paralell with other development and according existing plans we'll fully rework plane external textures based one already existing liveries. WIP pics that will be shown new model enhancement will be available very soon.

Brand new cockpit textures based on new graphical effects are almost WIP by RAZBAM-Cobra. You can see the these early WIP pics about new cockpit textures below.
Some detal about cockpit rework from Nick (RAZBAM-Cobra)
Hey folks;

Hope you enjoyed this little peak at whats' cooking.
Detail and realism is paramount to the entire MiG-21 experience, and for me- especially so in the artwork and textures!

Important to just note once again is that this is still Work in Progress! There are errors, stretched UVs, seams, missing specular maps and normals on various parts etc still. So take them with a grain of salt.

Important to note is also that these are not renders, they are completely 100% realtime viewport screenshots in 3ds max. Basically, what you see here is what you'll get inside the sim as well, but with the added bonus of realtime shadowing, making all those mesh-details pop even more.

Can't wait to show you more as we progress, and bring the new VC into a state of completion.

Cheers!
Nick (RAZBAM-Cobra)

AFM implementation it's almost done by dolphin887. Will need to implement better dumper model and correct some coeficcients. After that we make final tunning and if everything work as expected we will have finalized alpha AFM at this weeks.


Minor changes occur at several sub-system side to align our mod to DCS World and implement other new features in relation with weapon system and radar modes.. Also we're eliminated dozens of bugs as business as usual.


Some preview about one of the possible DVD design. See below.
Basic manual are finished. Just need to refresh their pictures and attachments due we have new external and internal models.
Unfortunately the www.dcs-mig21.com still unreachable due the host provider still don't able to fix DNS resolving issue..(No comment) They working on to fix that as soon as possible, but if they don't able to fix it we need to move our host and need to be find an another hosting. Meanwhile you can reach site through http://74.81.191.200/~dcsmigco/

I hope this isn't turning into the problem with DNF (no not 13 years) but the catch of changing a whole bunch of things while waiting for someone else to finish something else, and then those changes cause the second person to restart a bunch of things , etc etc etc.

After all , this was supposed to have been out in Dec and from recent updates doesn't look like it is going to be out anytime soon.

You know what I am predicting.

Just before it gets released, he announces that the kickstarter contributors aren't getting their free copy but will have to pay a modest fee because he added so much 'new' stuff that he has to charge for it.

Agree with the first part. Seeing a bit too much feature creep, and a bit too little tangiable product. Its well past time for at least an open beta.

To coincide with the weekly news flashes now here are my updates on the external model.

As some know, the American summertime can be hectic. Especially in my condition. (I'm quadriplegic) I recently moved houses and have been plucking away at vertices when I can.

At the moment I'm near the last stages. I'm currently going over the cockpit (not to be confused with the virtual cockpit) fitting it into the new hole. Before hand, I spent many late nights adjusting the canopy and windscreen to fit the new fuselage. In the screenshots below, you'll see that I practically exploded the cockpit. This is helping me find layered polygons and stray vertices that took up rendering time.

The other screenshots show details added to the main gear bay, fixed stabilizers, and centering object symmetrically.

Once it is finished, animations will be reworked so that they function properly with EDs updates. The damage model will also need adjusting to the updated model, but should not exactly take a long time to do. Afterwards, I can finally work on rematerializing it and creating new skins.

So basically he re-started this entire thing and there will be nothing left from the original work that was done over the last year or so.

Not good at all for a release anytime soon.

That isn't good news. IMHO, we won't see the MIG21 this year. Developers who restart project from scratch like this guy has done , usually are years late as he will restart again in a while after ED adds something that he wants to incorporate, which is why I made the DNF reference.

He didn't. He tweaked everything.
And the results are nothing short of impressive for such a small Dev group.

Skepticism is one thing, this is borderline with FUD.
Just... relax. Did you put any money into this?

Either case, chill pill.

You couldn't be further from the truth. I wish I could say more; but we are all under an NDA.

Yes, the exterior and interior are getting complete overhauls-- but they're just that; OVERHAULS. And they're not even being done by Bezcl himself, they're being done by 2 hired new artists (that would be myself and Rudel).
Meanwhile Bezcl and another C++ developer are working day in and day out on getting the AFM done. ALL Aircraft & Weapon systems are done!

I am an FS development veteran and have had a hand in more aircraft for various sims than I can count; and believe me when I say that you couldn't be further from the truth.
