my gears are just fine, but you must have very low sink rate at touchdown. This is intentional though to closer model realistic landing procedures... When I first flew this fighter.... I contacted BT~Wasted (my friend via Skype) and asked him how to land, I thought it was too hard...

He didn't say anything he just sent me an excerpt from an actual pilots step by step walkthrough on proper approach with everything including: airspeeds, flap procedures, Blown Flap usage, turn points and ranges for proper approach, and touchdown sink rate... It works... It flies very well...

According to Wasted, a friend of a friend who actually flies MiG-21s, tested this very model in our game, and said it was very well done, in both handling, and even the landing behavior of the aircraft!

Real Mig-21 pilots love the IL2+Mods! 
We should start an air force training academy.

I like that idea Max! I volunteer as an aggressor pilot in the '21 Bis....

Just installed this mod today. The problem is that I have no engine sound.

My install is 4.12.2 and Jet War 1.33....working fine. I also have the F-4 and F-100D mods in that install and they work well.....so I have no clue why the MiG-21 has no engine sound. I have no sound mods in that install.

EDIT- I noticed these messages in my console:

Cannot open audio file samples/infinite 1

I think the SAS Mig-21s are the only Mach 1+ capable jets in modded IL-2 whose FMs and cockpit details actually deserve the label "non arcade", rather good survey.
If you want it better, go for DCS Mig-21...still our MF pit colour looks cooler.  
Hope to be able to fly the DCS version on my new rig BTW.

Do you fly ModAct 5.3 or any of the other packs?
The info may help the coding guys.
..if in doubt I would try to reinstall. With all needed mods /Engine Mod w. Buttons file, jet Era..

[Aviar]

I'll have to investigate the engine sound issue some more. Meanwhile, I wanted to report a graphics issue in the pit. See the screenshots. When I try and look left and right,  a large artifact comes into the picture. It looks like it's attached to the top of the seat...like a headrest.

MiG-21 is a fighter with poor rear and lateral visibility:

And, yup, that's the headrest.

@Kilo: That problem existed in many Aircraft of this era. The F-4 Phantom II had NO rear visibility. What really bugs about the MiG-21 is that some versions like PFM and MF have really poor forward visibility, which makes landing them a pure horror (and a funny challenge to )

[SAS~Tom2]

That is the 4.12 cockpit FOV compared to 4.10 I suspect -you can look behind the seat mesh there.
WIth the Visual Mod you can assign a key for that and directly zoom in when in the pit, that prevents this error. That's how I solved it.

Hi guys, I know it's way too late for this but this is a MiG-21PF, PFM, FL version with Radar (developed on the SM-12 mod).

Tried this mod got 20% ctd.do i need the mig-19/sm-12 mod for this to run or did I not do the install correctly?
Running 4.12.2+5.3+engine 2.7 w/western's fix +jet era 1.33 and mig-21 2nd and 3 rd gen

[SAS~Tom2]

Check here as well, a 20% CTD was caused by the last 3rd Gen missile update in my install..but in 4.10. So that will not be relevant here I hope:

TBH I would first look into the Tech Help Crash help section to see which error you may have.

Also check the Mods area/Instant Logfile mod, install and attach a logfile of the crash in the code brackets, only last part of the crashlog needed.
Then wait for someone with a coding plan.
