I wanted to approach this video with less editing and just more raw footage to give people an idea of how I approached this patrol when shaking off some rust in the Mig-21. I will say that this sortie did inspire me to revisit the R-3R in a more serious way so this is the original inspiration for the R-3R video. Lastly, I was sick when I filmed this so the mic was a bit boosted so sorry for the audio quality in the intro.
I can't thank you enough for this server. Its brought me back to DCS multiplayer and finally lets me use my Cold War birds how they were designed to be used
I am so effing confused about some of the kills you got here. Not what you did, but WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY DOING! Did the A-10 just not even hear his RWR? or notice the freaking tracers passing 2 inches left of his cockpit? or you bursting by at full burner? Why did that viggen just fly straight into a radar lock? were none of these guys listening to overlord? either way, good kills all around.
CURSED ASYMMETRICAL LOADOUT monkaSTOP Also, the lever by the gunsight doesn't lock the nosewheel, it just opens or closes the valve to the nosewheel brake. Soviet fighters could brake with the nose gear as well as the mains to reduce landing rollout, but since the earlier ones steer via differential braking on the main wheels, you'll want to disable the nosewheel braking to avoid the plane just stopping when you try to turn. The best way to avoid nosewheel shimmy is to slowly roll ahead a little to get it pointing straight, and let the plane roll to a stop without brakes or just accelerate from there. Back stick should also help alleviate it. The wheel is always free castoring and can't be locked.
Turns out I was wrong, according to Rossmum "Also, the lever by the gunsight doesn't lock the nosewheel, it just opens or closes the valve to the nosewheel brake."
How do you get external cameras in the replay track? Whenever I’ve tried it on servers with view restrictions I’ve ended up staring at a random patch of dirt the entire recording
th-cam.com/video/qsBjzqjBeFI/w-d-xo.html This explains it in detail. It is EXTREMELY time consuming to do and be very careful fast forwarding. You CANNOT skip ahead. Watch that video, it explains everything
You don't need to touch the knob. You only need to change the SAR and IR mode and then the right missile will come off the rail if the black knob is in either the 1,2,3 or 4 position.
@@Enigma89 thats a shame. I watched a video he did in there recently. I noted the lag in video too. You can tell he's a little too used to missles from his lead shooting on deflection shots lol Still cool to watch.
With the Mig-21 how can I use the radio in multiplayer (in a cold war server)? I can't make it work. Can't make contact with the airbases or the AWACS.
@@Enigma89 The f...g radio still not working for me in any EU cold war server. The briefing says channel 0 is the main base channel 5 is the EWR but no answer.
How are you getting those external shots almost as if you're playing? Last I played on the server you can't go external to check 6 and other surroundings like that.
Once you have played, you can go into your track files then go into editor and change the settings. From there you have to watch the thing again and you get the externals. It is a long process. So to be clear. I am NOT playing with externals. It is all done after the fact.
There's absolutely No way will a warthog deal with a MIG unless 1500 ft or less especially head to head!!!! However the AWAC's is definitely giving you accurate info to be sneaking up on everyone??? Guess the others don't have RWR?? Interesting video
First guy clearly wasn't using overlord wall cheat. Third the same. I used to play in this server till realize it used the overlord boot. It is a no go for me, ruins the server.... not even a F35 has a system that tells you where the bandit is, even if he is inside a mountain or under the ground. It is a shame because I gifted the mig-21 to a friend to play in this server and another friend also bought but the overlord boot/chit is a no go.
I agree. I'm a (terrible) viggen pilot and really want to enjoy some cold war action on this server. But, I never manage to get anything done except dying because there's no way to hide in the weeds where the viggen is at its best due to overlord bot having perfect visibility on everyone at all times.
Overlord can see everything its in the faq. Overlord promotes good behavior, everyone is operating with the same information. There is nothing interesting about cutting trees and gaming the awacs system. Overlord promotes much more interesting fights.
@@Enigma89 I think you've got an excellent server that's doing great things for the DCS community. Thank you for the work you and the team have put into it. I only partially agree that overlord promotes more interesting fights, but I understand why you've chosen to do implement it. The existence of overlord also promotes having to learn an effectively new play style which only exists on servers with overlord bot running. For me personally, a lot of the multiplayer fun is taken away when I know I have nowhere to hide and play cat-and-mouse with people. But, I am clearly not your target audience, and that's perfectly fine because I can deal with that as my only gripe. I still think you've done a fantastic job with the server and I'll still fly on it and encourage others to do so as well. Please keep up the great work!
@@Enigma89 yeah but if I’m below radar or couldn’t possibly be detected and someone just / F7 bogey dope me and boom there I am is just dumb asf man lol other then that I think it’s a decent server
Explain your asymmetric load out. I think I know what's going on but it's rare enough that it could warrant explaination. Knowing how TH-cam loves people to pump out videos there's an idea for one. I've seen you R3-R video and liked it. This one shows a bit more that could be worth an explanation. 😉
@@Enigma89 Right. I assume one of the modes lets you select all four rails? It's been a while so I forget exactly how they come off the rails. I just took IRs and guess I chose the option that activated all the rails. You forget after a while... I could cold start the bugger be funny to see how much I've forgotten... I know already it's quite a bit.

GCI only hates Viggen's. >:)
Hello enigma !! Is it just me or it's not possible anymore to load R60's ?
I can't thank you enough for this server. Its brought me back to DCS multiplayer and finally lets me use my Cold War birds how they were designed to be used
The server is only viable when people play on it, so thanks for checking it out
Best DCS server hands down
Thank you!
Definitely can tell the MiG has a bigger gun than the f5. Your server is nothing less than game changing.
Migs do like big guns but the western planes have those nice gyros :o
Fantastic stuff. And have to hand it to you for taking the time to get all that on the external track. Must have taken a while!
It's a pain in the ass :(
VERY nice gun kill on that Viggen
Glorious
Thanks!

Paid actors clearly
@@Enigma89 Lol that was def in the back of my mind
Beautiful RED plane, comrade
Looks like ground crew had a little to much Vodka while arming your MiG lol. Great Video! Cant wait for the R-3R video.
The R-3R video can be found here, I ended up releasing that one before this one. th-cam.com/video/Jm8roy8RSRU/w-d-xo.html
@@Enigma89 thanks!
That Viggen strike though, R-3R new meta.
R3R is fun!
I would really recommend the MiG 21 sound mod. It makes the module twice as fun
I go back and forth, I do like the sound mod but sometimes I like the original one because I am just so used to it.
Where are that GSI voices come from? (sry I ve never played on this server)
It's the overlord bot
@@Enigma89 Yes thx very much I ve seen your great video about it yesterday and now I have an idea of what it is... Thanks for all the great Content 🙂
As previously stated.... Glorious.
thx you

Hmmm what a weird system. I have been lied to by the documentation I read :[ It is the same deal in the 19?
chads fly migs and sukhois
So nice! Love your vid! Is there a way to lock steering wheel? I didn't know that..
Turns out I was wrong, according to Rossmum "Also, the lever by the gunsight doesn't lock the nosewheel, it just opens or closes the valve to the nosewheel brake."
Was that a live person you were speaking too at 1:40 (female voice ADMIN) or is that part of the game/server?
It's a server bot called overlord.

Can you do a vid on how you verbally ask the ai stuff? And how to manually put frequencies in the 21?
You can find that here th-cam.com/video/al_dUe_7djA/w-d-xo.html
How did you manage to fire all missiles (ir and sar) from the same station (4) as the first? The master selector is in all cases on 4.
You don't need to touch the knob. You only need to change the SAR and IR mode and then the right missile will come off the rail if the black knob is in either the 1,2,3 or 4 position.
good acp.. must say
thank you kindly
What mode are you enabling when you switch to guns? Looks sweet to bind
The gun trigger is independent of the missile fire button, you just press it.
@@Enigma89 I’ve never noticed my gyro pipper changing positions like that, I’ve always just aimed guns A/A with fishnet.
You should make some content on Growling Sidewinder's ww2 server on DCS
I tried to play on that server but it was just so so laggy and now It seems like their population never recovered.

Channel 0 is channel 1 in the briefing. Just tune in that way. SO channel 2 would be channel 3 in the briefing. It's because the mig21 has a 0 channel

Hey Enigma,
MiG-21bis is good to play? Should I buy it?
Yes
@@Enigma89Thank you.
I really like the DCS videos, the aircraft are so cool, but the $$ and difficulty of flying put me off. Nice video.
were all the aircraft in here are player controlled or AI?
Human. I don't like to play against ai
@@Enigma89 im getting interested in dcs
I think it is fun to play both il2 and dcs. They both have their strengths so it is fun to go back and forth between the two.

The nonsymmetrical missile loadout is triggering my OCD! Otherwise great vid. :-D
I did that on purpose to see if anyone would notice lol
I seriously cant think of a worse name for a fighter than "fishbed" smh. Nice sortie though.

It actually doesn't, was a misunderstanding on my end. But thanks for liking the server.
