The Mig-15bis flies like a dream if you treat her well. Belsimtek has accomplished a virtual flying experience that mimics exactly what the books say about the real deal.
 |
| A very powerful engine, well fitted for the bomber interception role. |
 |
| The cockpit of a Mig-15bis, seconds before departure. |
 |
| A close up of the left part of the cockpit. The textures and level of detail are fantastic. That white lamp on indicates that the aircraft is trimmed near neutral. |
 |
| Fitted with both a 37 mm N-37D and 2 x 23 mm NR-23 cannons, the firepower of this bird is brutal. |
 |
| The ASP-3N automatic gunsight takes a good portion of real estate in the cockpit and of the front field of view. |
 |
| The center of the cockpit packs all the instruments and gauges. |
 |
| That evasive snapshot ... A Sabre escapes from our shooting with everything but his left aileron. The Mig-15bis is a very interesting aircraft to take into a dogfight. Training to deal with the Mig-15bis' maneuvareability assets and liabilities is essential. |
 |
| Landing the Mig-15bis is relatively easy. A delicate speed handling to make it safely into the airfield. |
 |
| Touchdown! Note the flaps and airbrakes fully deployed. |
 |
| A lovely gun camera (right bottom corner) to regret your misses an boast in your hits. |

Compare to the F-86F Sabre, worse or better?
I am not happy, that each aircraft is still missing a proper manual.
None of them are better than the other, both the F-86 and MiG-15 modules are highly accurate simulations, as close to the real thing that you can get in a publicly available flight sim.
The missing manuals are of course because both modules are still in Beta. The manuals will be available at release. The final release of the F-86 is not too far away.
Hey JC!
How do they simulate the "heavy" feel of the MiG-15's controls?
Thanks for your comments.
@Ghost: there is info out there from which you can figure out the most important systems (thanks Johan). But I agree, the lack of manuals is kinda worrisome.
@Dimitris: Hi! The flight dynamics are very thorough. The infamous "stuck in cement" controls are very evident at around 0.92 mach. Even the wing drop that has been described elsewhere.
Thanks,
I have the DCS F-86F and a nice manual from the real Sabre - but without a manual for the MiG, i don`t buy it.
And i think, "it is in beta" is not a good argument - MiG-21 is in beta - has a manual, 109 is in beta - has a manual, Hawk is in beta (1.2.16 Open Beta) - has a manual!
