*******************************************************************************

Situations of my eyes have deteriorated since the end of last year. 
The eyesight of the left eye has decreased extremely. 
Therefore, I was discontinuing making the aircraft for a while. 
However............Still, situations of my eyes don't pick up. 
And, every day are very long and passes tediously. 
Reluctantly, I began to make the aircraft again. 

If the mistake is found in this model, please forgive me by thinking that it is a responsibility of my left eye. 
Ha! Ha! Ha!....well.........well....(^_^;)

Oh!! by the way.............
I changed my e-mail address at this time. 

   [email protected]

Because there were too a lot of spam mails....(Though I'm ensuring for security countermeasures.)
If you have the demand and the opinion etc. to me, please contact me by this address to the future.(Though it is likely to change again...Ha! Ha!)

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21(NATO reporting name "Fishbed") is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft, designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. 
More than 30 countries of the world have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its first flight. 
Its Mach 2 capability exceeds the top speed of many later modern fighter types. Estimates are that more than 10,000 MiG-21s were built, more than any other supersonic jet aircraft.
And MiG-21 bis (NATO "Fishbed N") is a single-seat multi-role fighter and ground-attack aircraft. 
The final production model built up until 1977 in Russia and 1987 in India. 
This version is powered by a Tumansky R-25-300 turbojet engine, and carries 2880 liters of fuel. 
The engines are capable of "extreme afterburner" for up to 3 min - increasing the thrust from 7100 kgf to 9900 kgf. 
It can accelerate from 600 km/h to 1100 km/h in 18 seconds (the MiG-29 does it in 11,6 sec). 
The climb rate is 225 m/s. 
In comparison the F-14 has a climb rate of 152 m/s, the MiG-17F 65 m/s, the F-16A 215 m/s.

Late models carried two K-13 and two fuel tanks under the wing pylons or combinations of four K-13 infrared- and radar-guided missiles. The Molniya R-60 (NATO reporting name AA-8 'Aphid') was also used on multiple pylons and six of them could be carried. Most aircraft carried a single 450 L (119 US gal) fuel tank on the centerline pylon.

3. [ About the installation ]

 The airframe must copy the \MiG-21 bis folder as it is in the Aircraft folder of FS2002 or FS2004. 

     \FS2002(FS2004)
        -----\Aircraft
          ---------\MiG-21 bis
 

Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004. 
 A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time. 
 The Gauges of Kingair and EXTRA-300, GPS are not bundled. 
 Please setup it by yourself.

 The reprint and the repaint may go freely. 
 However, please defend the following conditions. 

     1.The change in contents of this file is prohibited. 
         (Please distribute it like the Zip file of the current state when distributing it. )
     2.Please neither reverse-assembly nor never remodel(convert) it of the aircraft model. 
     3.Please don't bundle my airframe(MDL file) in the package of your works when you open the repaint to the public. 
         (Please open only the texture to the public. )
     4.Don't use DXT format for making texture.
       Please make it by the format that everyone can change. 
       It is necessary to be able to read and change with usual drawing software. 
     5.It is prohibited to bundle and to open a new panel to the public to my aircraft model.

6. [ About the directions point in FS2004 and FSX]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24. 
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9) and FSX(FS10). 
However........!!
In FS2004.
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode. 
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft. 
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed. 

And........
In FSX.
Because gauges do not correspond to FSX, the gauges in the cockpit are not displayed. 
Please you looks for a suitable gauges and setup Panel.cfg by yourself.
Sorry...............

                           Please Notice

I like military aircrafts.  Especially, fighter!!
But, It is because the shape is unique and the manoeuverability is good. 
I like aircraft that can freely fly in the big sky. 
However............I hate war and combatting. 
When I thinks the airframe that I made launches the bullet and the missile, I become scary.
Therefore, I'm prohibiting convert of my airframe for CFS. 
If it is possible, I am wishing my airframe not to be used in CFS. 
Though you might be said "Because it's simulation world".......... 
Please..........Please.......
