New MiG-15Bis for P3D and MSFS&FSX from BearStudios.

[rafikst]

Hi Bill,
one thing, can you increase a little the model of pilot on external view? The body seems too small and is set too high according me. His arms should, in principle, end at the height of the hull/fuselage. The head fits under the dome but it should be bigger.

The MiG-15bis is a fairly small aircraft. It could be nice to have a little bigger body in SP1a for example of future fix. Looks a little strange.

See here, examples:

Good looking pilot (the size) has DCS model. More examples.

Very thanks for the reference.

I have create pilot figure from chinese pilot average shape, their height like me less then 175 mm, about 168-172, thin and have different arm/leg scale from russian pilot,
In MiG-15/17/19 cockpit, they often put a pad under parachute package on ejectseat to increase height they setting, so current pilot shape small, and setting higher.
As same reason, MiG-21F-13`s ejectseat system have auto covered windshield, cause chinese pilot death during ejection.

When next update Ver1.3.2 (just flight and marketplace need to using this increase ver number on current package, so it may be a big version than that. current Ver1.3.2 on JF == Ver1.3.1-SP1 on simmarket ), I will make the new shape have russian pilot shape, or insert a node to let user choise to using default jet fighter pilot. (base on my study for new technology from SDK)

It's not even that, most men in Europe are also between 170-180, but in general the figure in the model is a bit too small.

Thx! Notice that pilot's head is something like 2/3 of canopy, in the model is 1/2, something like this. Good news Bill, I appreciate it a lot!

In this picture I marked the size of body and head in the cockpit. Current body looks like a child, not an adult, even from China . Notice that he could safely pass under the wing even (where an adult human has it at waist/chest height).

Hello, there is a problem with the camouflage paints and no they are not seen with the SP1

 

[rafikst]

And two more to show the body size (the first is from 17 but the size of canopy is the same).

Hello, there is a problem with the camouflage paints and no they are not seen with the SP1

If the metallic still too high, I will send to you a blue-end rending set for paint camouflags, please send me e-mail so I can attach it.
I can not draw camouflag properly by myself, so the metallic totally rending to blue end for reduce shine.

Notice:
A youtube user report aircraft can not auto feed fuel from center fuentank when external tank empty. this will cause engine flame off almost 60 min flight.
I check the fuel feed logic, findout default update frequency difference from MSFS and P3D cause auto select fuel tank sequency not active by fuel qty conditions remains in the proper fuel tanks.
So I make a new logic control xml file for deal with this issue.

The MiG-15Bis auto fuel feed sequency:
Normal Steps
1, 26 Gallons from Center fuel tank (Main Tank)
2,All fuels 106 gallons x2 form 2x PTB-400 droptanks
3,Up to 64 Gallons from Center fuel tank (Main Tank)
4, If have fuel above 2 gallons, and 2nd fuel pump switched on, burn from Center2 fuel tank (After Aux Tank, 42 gallons)
5, All fuel remained in Center fuel tank (Main Tank) to burn empty.

This aircraft has only fuel pump control manually is aft/main tank switch(2nd fuel pump). if not switch this 2nd fuel pump on, engine burn fuel from main tank.

Usage:
Recommand that Ver1.3.1 update to Ver1.3.1-SP1(simmarket) or Ver1.3.2(JustFlight, Marketplace)
Download and unzip this MiG_FuelFix.zip attached here, and overwrite same named file in Panel/MiG folder after you install aircraft.

Another thing, V1.3.1-SP1(V1.3.2) have 8-bit engine sound from P3D, replace 16-bit wav and reduce size, I change the sound.cfg to get a better engine whine. but the improve limited by source files.
If Wwise can use, I will mix VK-1A engine from a FT-5 flight video clip record and build sound package in future update.

 

[wolfgen]

OK, I using paint.net tool change the aircraft metallic texture to blue. It may reduce the shinning for create not metal paint skins

Usage:
Recommend that Ver1.3.1 update to Ver1.3.1-SP1(simmarket) or Ver1.3.2(JustFlight, Marketplace)

1, If you want to change all metallic effect, please unzip from the attached 3 zip files, and overwrite the same named files in texture folder. in this case, not need to update layout.json manually by tools, but all of aircraft skins become less shine.
2, If you want to reduce some aircraft skins metallic or create your own skin, please copy to the texture.xx folder (e.g. for texture.BUNNY5 , the bunny racer livery), then, update layout.json by tools or manually.
3, before overwrite, please store the default file or your own file in a safe location for backup

 

[wolfgen]

For P3D/FSX user. I will update for same changed contents compatibly from MSFS edition Ver1.3.2(Ver1.3.1-SP1)

 

[wolfgen]

Ok, the simmarket advise to merge fuel feed patch into their release package, so I updated it to Ver1.3.2 on simmarket

simMarket: MIG-15BIS MSFS

secure.simmarket.com

A new publisher Inibuilds release same version Ver1.3.2 with same content as simmarket updates.

Bear Studios MiG-15BIS for MSFS

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: "Fagot") is a jet fighter developed for the Soviet Union by Mikoyan-Gurevich OKB. MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.

store.inibuilds.com

Since Just Flight using a installation tool create by my side and need test after merge, so it may need a while for include the fuel feed patch. if you bought from Just Flight, you may download the standard patch here for now.

About MS marketplace......their still in review and not release yet, if their accept the Ver1.3.2 and release, it not include fuel feed patch I posted here and merge into V1.3.2 packages for other stores.
However, I do not want to take a increased version by their rule just for small patch, which different from other stores at same time,
So the fuel feed patch and other updates, include pilot shape and sound, flight model modify will include into Ver1.3.3 after marketplace edition released.

For P3D/FSX user. I will update for same changed contents compatibly from MSFS edition Ver1.3.2(Ver1.3.1-SP1)

Pilot shape will rebuild in P3D/FSX version first. I have your images and aircraft interior cut chart for adjust scale and position for the figure
I have changed the gps map panel looks as MSFS version. some logic control code from MSFS work well on FSX/P3D

Another thing, do you have SBLIM-2 or UTI cockpit/gauge/panel/equipment's different information or image?
Or I follow the cockpit in 1970`s china PLAAF FT-2?(A PLAAF modifying from MiG-15Bis with very poor internal fuel, but engine thrust than UTI, this model cockpit has lots of equipment from MiG-17/19/21)

 

[rafikst]

Another thing, do you have SBLIM-2 or UTI cockpit/gauge/panel/equipment's different information or image?

SBLIM/UTI pls! I'll try to find it.

 

[wolfgen]

the pilot shape changed to 120% , I have find pics for MiG-15Bis 2057 and Pilot, but other pic shows the pilot a bit bigger and tall.
So if scale OK, I will assemble it.

 

[rafikst]

Yes, looks a lot better! Thank You!
