There were some fixes for it included in the last update but I'm using the Beta version so I don't know if it went out to all. I'm not having any issues with the MiG-21 at the moment. There's also a GUI utility by Skatezilla that's got repair functions built into it, Cap's got a video on it somewhere. It maybe worth a look at that too as I've had no real issues with DCS since I started using it.
I've watched this video so many times over the couple years I've had the 21 and my favorite part is always the sigh when you're told you can set the cockpit to English. So dejected sounding lol.
What are you using to look around so smoothly? I have view mapped to my hat switches, but it's more like a slow pan. Your camera seems much closer to the way a human head/eyes would look around.
Well its an interceptor, so take off should take max 60secs from cold start, don't worry with enough practice you would be there. N don't forget to change pant after using that rocket assisted take off :P
I can do this in 30 seconds to the T and as a Russian I literally nearly spit my borscht out dying laughing at the last step 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I mean come on now "Bang!!" Really???? 😂😂😂😂😂

Grim Reapers nope! I figured it out, above the radio panel the second switch on the right is to turn it on! I didn’t notice it wasn’t on till I was shot down earlier and very furious at my Russian RWR (which happened to not be on) 😂 btw thanks for the awesome cold start procedures helped out a bunch! Was really pulling my hair out without it!
Steering is by Differential braking of left and right wheels (nose-wheel is kind of like a castor wheel), to turn you build up some inertia then apply brakes and rudder to direction of choice, it takes some getting used to but it's not a massive learning curve. Yes it has an auto-pilot even with an "Auto-land" feature, granted you do have to fly the last 100 meters or so, leaving you with the flare, but in really closed weather it will get you lined-up with an (RSBN - Nav mode enabled) Runway, a feature that was pretty advanced for its time. However I'm hazarding a guess that perhaps you already knew this and was having a little 'inside joke'? :-)
I know that CAP has a hard time and doesn't read comments so often due to the little time he has for us. But some critique is always good, first of all, my deepest respect that CAP is still uploading, even tho he has a really rough time with his cancer and chemotherapy. Now the critique I'd recommend to change the style of the tutorials. They aren't good to actually learn something because CAP himself has to learn it and it's slower as it should be. Most of the time others have to explain to him how to do it. That's quite unfortunate, a tutorial should have structure, a little script and knowledge.
I actually like them like this because since CAPs learning, it looks like im there as him and Im asking the same questions as him and theyre talking to me like if I were in a server and having a friend explaining those things to me like an instructor making it way less likely I get something wrong and if I do get something wrong (CAP would probably do too) they explain what happened making it not annoying like having to rewatch the whole thing and pausing every few seconds. But if Im familiar with it (or if I forgot how to do something) I just watch a quicker tutorial.
@@DavidGPT Then you've seen the wrong tutorials because every other tutorial which is structured and gives exact "orders" is much easier to watch and understand as this. Especially in the DelanClip tutorial where he isn't prepared. You can see it as he tries to gove the same curves for opentrack.
@@Blind_Hawk I disagree. Sure, many things could have been more thorough and accurate, but the questions Cap ask are definitely helping with understanding why we do things. This makes remembering the order things have to be done in easier.
Thanks for the video, but honestly I don't see the point of giving yet another wrong start-up procedure, it's as wrong as the DCS one. Pilots follow the manufacturer's procedure for a good reason, safety is the first concern when you're flying an airplane. If that's for the sake of taking-off quickly, there are many switches you have taken the time to set and which are not necessary (like the battery heat and most of the right panel ones). If that's for safety you really want to set your nosecone on before starting the engine (it's actually part of the cockpit preflight checklist), and so on. In summary, this shouldn't be titled "cold start tutorial" at all because you're confusing viewers.
‘Did you set your cockpit to English?’ Hahahahah
How do you do it to english
@@david-mp6dt in options go to special tab and under the MIG 21 tab you can change it

6:24 press button, explosion sound, "yeah that sounded good.:
Best module ever imo, love it Cap and I'm glad you stayed with us bro :)
Awesome. Had a fly in my MiG-21 after your first video, god I missed the sound of that engine. :-D
Same here, had to drop a nuke while watching it.
@@L3v3LLIP Overkill is the only kill. :-P
I was initially trained on 21st in academy. Its close but not there. I was trained never employ armory before taking off.
Out of curiosity, what did you find that is missing in the mig-21 in DCS?

@@rodgerdodger7257 I see so nothing too important, thanks for replying.
Useful vid, that. Well done Cap & Stahl :)
I think you have to pronounce it "Bis" instead of "B I S", but i'm not 100% sure
It is in fact a latin suffix meaning "second iteration" so yes, it's not initials, and you are totally correct.

BIS is acronym for "better usage of aircraft" in russian. Basicaly it means modernised.

i also missed in this one how to turn on the gunsight, im not able to find it at the moment
This guy deserves more likes and subs he is my favourite youtuber keep it up 😄
We need some type of VSN MiG 21 mod. Nice and fun aircraft. Thanks for all the vids.
I do like after the cockpit walk through, i do like the option to have the writing in English lol
MIG-21 use to be my favorite module, if feels like its starting to show its age though. Plus, for some reason its been crashing my client lately.

4 years later, I do need help.
In front of the HUD there is a thing blocking me from turning it on. How do I do that?

How do u steer this gad dam thing ....where is the nose wheel steering ?
its your wheelbrake button my dude. you hold brakes and you turn
@@king-amir3401 thanks
Well, Cap, you've learned Russian today!!! Good Luck Komrade!!!
"Second row of switches?" "Yeah?" "All on." "Roger"
Steam edition check lists FTW.
I can do this in 30 seconds to the T and as a Russian I literally nearly spit my borscht out dying laughing at the last step 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean come on now "Bang!!" Really???? 😂😂😂😂😂

I thought this was on automatically?
