[DCS] MiG-21Bis RSBN Big Box Approach 

Byeohazard Thank you for the feedback and also thank you for reminding me ;) Glad that the video could explain a thing or two! Yeah, that with the audio was a bit unfortunate. I had to record the video about 3-4 times, because some update within the recording software caused the files generated to become incompatible with the editing software I use. + After some reconfiguring I got it working, however during the process of fixing the problems, I changed some settings, that caused the audio levels to be lower than usual. Will be fixed for the next videos.

Thank you for your comment! I try to take pride in my flying and comments such as yours acknowledging that, are really appriciated. :)

Let me guess, you're not just an armchair-pilot but a pilot in real life too? I mean, the entire flight was close to perfect, heading-, altitude- and speed-wise. Not many sim pilots are that keen to try to perfectly maintain a plane's attitudes, thus I think there must be more behind it. ;)

Indeed, I have been flying since 5 years now. In fact, I just started an integrated flight training at an airline this week, transitioning from private pilot to commercial pilot in the next couple of years. :)

Really? Congrats! Once a childhood dream of myself was to fly for an airline. But didn't persue it thouroughly enough. Like John Lennon said, life is what happens while you make other plans. I started my pilot training at the age of 14, first theoretical classes, but then even managed to have had my first flight 9 days before my 15th birthday, hence still with 14 :) Hooked on flying in particular and aviation in general ever since. For more than 30 years now. Do you want to fly for a living? Also ATPL or would CPL + IR be sufficient? Anyways, it's a good way to start from scratch with a PPL and to build some piloting skills first before to move on to heavier aircraft and more complex workloads. I started with gliding back in the days. First became a weather expert and learned to fly without engines. :) Like my former inspiring example, legendary Russian flying ace Sasha "Sotka" Pokryshkin. I wish you all the best, if you weren't already a pilot I'd recommended you to become one with these instrument scanning and manoeuvering skills. :D

Thank you! Yeah, flying has always been a dream for me, however I did not intend to fly for a living. I had everything set up to go to university and study electrical engineering. However, as you said so well, plans don't always work out and sometimes something better comes up! I actually applied to a couple of airlines because I thought I would regret it in 20 years if I didn't do it right now. After a couple successfull assesment tests I found myselfe inside the training program of a great european carrier. Part of the training is in Europe and part of it is in the US - Really looking forward to that! The training program starts from 0, so currently we are learning PPL theory (I have allready learned that 5 years ago, but oh well, at least it is a great way to refresh my knowledge) and in a couple of months we are doing our basic flight training. After that more theory and then we head to the US for a couple of months for instrument flying, multi engine and other stuff. After that, loads more theory and then ATPL exams mid 2019. If you are intrested, I mentioned a bit about the whole thing here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2KSXBIre1lI.html

LennysCopilot Thanks for the feedback! Allways appreciated.

***** Hi, First off all, thank you very much for your feedback! I will try to answer the questions as well as I can, so here we go: 1. No, you can fly without a joystick, and quit a lot of people do (not the majority though). However, a joystick, a throttle, rudder pedals and TrackIR a generally recommended to get the most out of a flight sim. 2. Hard to tell, but the MiG-21 feels very nice to fly with a joystick. 3. That is a bit of a difficult answer, as I have been flying for a couple of years now. Adjusting to a new aircraft, like the MiG-21 was quit a fast process. However, if you don't have much experience it will take you longer. 4. I would guess a couple of weeks. There are a couple of good tutorials included, that will take you through the basics and some of the advanced stuff too! I personally use the Thrustmaster Warthog combined with MFG Crosswind rudder padals, however that is nowhere close to 50$. Maybe have a look at the Saitek/MadCats sticks, they might be in the right price range for you. Hope that answers all of your questions! Best regards, John

***** Thanks for the kind words! Allways appricated! I am normally buying from the main site: digitalcombatsimulator.com/ There is a sale nearly every month, so you can get quit good savings on most of the modules if you wait a bit.

+Nevyn Tanis Thank you for the feedback! Allways appricated.

Thanks for the feedback! In case you missed it, here I have a slightly louder version of the video: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGaqgAaLGGI.html

I would assume that nowadays most of the enroute and terminal navigation are based on their GLONASS system. Not sure if and how commonly RSBN/PRMG is still used for approaches.

charenton82 Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the speaking turned out to be a bit lower than usual. Still is audible on all the devices I could test it with... I do own a micro, but thanks for the advice anyway!
