Mig-21 Chair+Stick using DCS and VR opens to tourists in war plane museum







News Report: http://www.mediafire.com/file/cc6j9g..._29-3-2018.mp4



They have setup a physical Mig-21 cockpit simulator set with VR in a flight museum in my country, absolutely will go check it out ASAP, since I don't have the budget for VR or any better stick right now, this is absolutely awesome!





PRESS RELEASE: Contact/Location info bottom of the page.



Quick summary: The simulator is a combination of DCS with Mig-21Bis module, VR headset, with a number of original parts they got from Ebay like a real Mig-21 seat (Poland) and control stick (Ukraine), pedals, the speed control and some instruments including landing gear (ex-Yugoslavia), some parts are from Czech Republick and Romania, and the thing was put together with technical help from the pilots/engineers, and two other companies ran by younger folks probably responsible for VR setup, the Slovenian Air Traffic Control Agency has also contributed financially to the project.











I went looking deeper into it and found out there's quite enthusiasm around here that I had no idea about, ofcourse there is a whole war planes museum which I didn't knew about and the fact that our country actually has pilots that have flown Mig-21 for over 20 years.



However the news reportage makes it sound as if the whole simulator was made by the local companies and organizations (Aeronavt and Aereform), since there is no mention of Eagle Dynamics or DCS or any names/logos of the 3rd Party, but I think what the media articles cite were the companies which where only behind the setup of the hardware part of the hardware set, the chair and flight stick and the general setup, not the actual software I would assume?



For a second I almost thought that the companies were the ones behind this Mig-21Bis module?



So Magnitude 3 LLC has nothing to do with this, no ?





EDIT: This kinda seems it should be interesting to other people around here, not specific to the Mig21 Module Software ... what about moving this thread to Military and Aviation maybe. Just noticed this on the news, what a pleasant surprise! I was shocked to see DCS on primetime news for a moment actually! http://notranjskoprimorske.si/2018/0...ske-zgodovine/ (non-english, http://translate.google.com They have setup a physical Mig-21 cockpit simulator set with VR in a flight museum in my country, absolutely will go check it out ASAP, since I don't have the budget for VR or any better stick right now, this is absolutely awesome!PRESS RELEASE: http://parkvojaskezgodovine.si/slove...etalom-mig-21/ (non-english, http://translate.google.com Quick summary: The simulator is a combination of DCS with Mig-21Bis module, VR headset, with a number of original parts they got from Ebay like a real Mig-21 seat (Poland) and control stick (Ukraine), pedals, the speed control and some instruments including landing gear (ex-Yugoslavia), some parts are from Czech Republick and Romania, and the thing was put together with technical help from the pilots/engineers, and two other companies ran by younger folks probably responsible for VR setup, the Slovenian Air Traffic Control Agency has also contributed financially to the project.I went looking deeper into it and found out there's quite enthusiasm around here that I had no idea about, ofcourse there is a whole war planes museum which I didn't knew about and the fact that our country actually has pilots that have flown Mig-21 for over 20 years.However the news reportage makes it sound as if the whole simulator was made by the local companies and organizations (Aeronavt and Aereform), since there is no mention of Eagle Dynamics or DCS or any names/logos of the 3rd Party, but I think what the media articles cite were the companies which where only behind the setup of the hardware part of the hardware set, the chair and flight stick and the general setup, not the actual software I would assume?For a second I almost thought that the companies were the ones behind this Mig-21Bis module?So Magnitude 3 LLC has nothing to do with this, no ?EDIT: This kinda seems it should be interesting to other people around here, not specific to the Mig21 Module Software ... what about moving this thread to Military and Aviation maybe. __________________
