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

[wolfgen]

about uti, I find Poland,Czech and China PLAAF have models with square spoilers, russian build have triangle spoiler. it seems the square spoilers fuselage modified from single MiG-15Bis.
So I wander which model will build.

Hello Bill, thank You for this update. Looks very promising and wonderful, it's nice that it will be so many repaints!
One thing - all markings on fuselage should be not glossy but mat (or semi mat). Perhaps you use the same metallic background file (orange-red right?) for the whole fuselage instead of just the metallic parts. As you can see some markings look like with metallic effect so the final effect isnt realistic. Pls fix it before the release, those parts should have green-yellow colour in the backgrond (unfortunately, each skin should have a separate backgrond, different file, which takes a bit of work). The same applies to painting on the hull. Where there is paint, it should not be metallic, but only shiny.

it is too late, I have illness of fundus bleeding caused by diabetes, after laser treatment last year, I can not draw green side colors accurately, include blue or yellow colors.
the current basic texture is same metallic texture from p3d version 1.2, just simply flip up/down directions.
for the same reason, I have no new camoflag skin drawning, the green color I in my eye as light or dark grey.
so it has same problem as P3D version, some one reviewed on simmarket, but I can not fix it any more.

anyway, thank you for point out it, I may find someone in china main land local to redrawing them in future updates

 

[rafikst]

Ugh, sorry to hear that, I didn't know sorry . I will definitely do some painting myself when the model comes out. Do you plan to give paintkit too?

Congrats on the release of the aircraft. I just tried it out briefly and noticed some model gaps in the cockpit nearly the entire width of the cockpit near the cockpit pressure seal. A sliver of outside scenery can be seen flashing by between this lengthy gap. Can this be resolved?

Greetings,

Feedback from users is currently contained in this thread on the official MSFS forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/released-bear-studios-mig-15/578865/26

Ok， I have seem topic details on Flightsimulator`s forums, but I can not post on that forums by create user failed. So feedback here:

The first clearance is price.
I have received report from rafikst but still no JustFlight notice me the MiG-15Bis released at that time,
So I just know they make wrong price from rafikst. Very thanks.
Because as usual, the price I set in all versions is USD 29.95, maintain the same price with P3D and FSX versions.
But they make wrong to USD 40 or higher before I receive rafikst`s e-mail.
So I foward content to Just Flight and request immediate correction to the price I set. They mistake MiG-15`s price with another aircraft`s template json they using to build release package like that:
{
"business": {
"PriceInUSD": 44.990001678466797,
"ThirdPartyShortName": "justflight",
"AccountSellerId": "72071260",
"UseFirstAvailableReleaseDate": true
},
"marketplace": {
"sections": [
{
"category": "Aircraft",
"section": "Piston"
}
]
}
}
They correct price when receive my e-mail and check it.


About Myself, bearstudios, MiG-15 future updates and bug fix.
1, Very thank for any advise or suggestion, I note all of things down and will make them fixed in future updates.

2, My current status is being investigated, but has not been tried, convicted or thrown into prison.
So I am not working in prison, at the MiG-15 project begin, I have been bail pending trial, released from china state security (political police) for disease treatment.
As the investigation on " illegal acquisition and leak of state secrets" will continue for several years, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the possibility of conviction is very small.
So I can keep create addon mod and make updating in future development before they really jailed me.

3, But for reduce trouble, I have to diaband my company( the last project until 2021.7 is F-16MLU, P3D+VRS TacPack supported, alomost 80% done)
So the BearStudios current has only myself one personal to build single simple aircraft addons and make all things for release, bug fix and contracts.
In China mainland, I am one of few MS flightsim developer, it is hard to regroup or recruit experienced personal in my local now. My oneman`s army status may continue for a period.

4, I have been limit on common web visite, my account google services can not restore because my telephone card detained by china state security (political police), can not verify when restore for gmail and youtube.
So I can not create videos on youtube. for the vpn performance, search and watch related videos is differcult too. I can check e-mail daily, but will not reply quickly.

5, I have illness of fundus bleeding caused by diabetes, after laser treatment last year, I can not draw green side colors accurately, include blue or yellow colors. eyesight visually impaired, modeling and texturing rely on the design software, for example, the straight line in my eye sight become curve slightly, I using parameter input to build them.

6, Base on the facts above, works on my side, include update and future addon project may slower than excepted.

About engine sound effect, I will try to mix VK-1A sound from FT-5 to improve it, after I have the record from a restored WP-5 engine.
The upcoming update v1.3.2 for MiG-15Bis will be arranged to release in 8 weeks if I can deal with report bugs before the end of March.

Thanks for all personal support MiG-15 development, we will keep it on as we can do.

For current MS marketplace policy, no external weapons include rocket/bomb/missile shapes and depiction of weapons allowed.
No internal weapons (Guns, Ammo) allowed.

I am not sure what is the internal waepons refer to, guns and ammo display in VC? or guns mounted in aircraft fuselage or wings?
for MiG-15, the gun compond mounted under nose, it is a internal weapons? or I must remove the gun ports? or it defined to a external weapon?

So future warbird may have clean payload with blank pylons?
I have remove bomb, eject and flare effect node from MiG-15 models. the UTI or MiG-17 in future may have some civil equipments replace in VC or external models?

A funny thing is they mistake leaning PTB-400 droptank as a kind of weapon. I have write e-mail for a clearance
If removed it, at least 50% fuel reduce for aircraft.

Yep, those terms its a funy for me, something like 1/2 of aviation history could by cutting by thise terms .

Do only external tanks. For other stores, like Just Flight version you can have all those things. "Military" people will buy it in other stores (like me ) .

 

[wolfgen]

MarketPlace suggest me remove the gun port from aircraft nose.
Droptank can be allowed.

This policy force I change the model shape arrangment, weapons must be in a standalone model and mount on aircraft by control logic. so they will be removed easily.
All thumbnials and image must be remake for marketplace version, so it double works.

I bought the mig15 and it is a nice aircraft and it is also one of the few models that has a paint kit, the problem is that in the paint channels there is too much "metal" blue and it is impossible to create a camouflage livery any advice thanks

Very Nice paint

About the metallic texture, I have illness of fundus bleeding caused by diabetes, after laser treatment last year, I can not draw green side colors accurately, include blue or yellow colors.
for the same reason, I have no new camoflag skin drawning, the green color I in my eye sight as light or dark grey.
the current basic texture is same metallic texture from p3d version 1.2, just simply flip up/down directions.

However, I have findout remove the alpha channel in aircraft fuse/wing/cockpit frame textures, and change metallic color from paink to light blue totally by paint.net tool, can reduce metal and shinning.
So I will change them in upcoming Service Pack 1 upgrade.

Others futures in SP1:
The fingerprint and dust dirty on canopy glass also be removed
Add polygons in front panel cover to avoid render gap.
AGI-1 ADI removed the cage flag and fixed the cage function.
Kneeboard removed Gun, Ammo tags from aircraft cfg page.
Add low rpm whine for engine sound.
If I find out the reason,, I will remove the wing vortice to avoid it vertical exhaust when aircraft at high aoa.

So, you may draw basic texture without alpha channel, and when I have SP1 released, replace the metallic texture in the texture folder
