I should really join your server. Question: how are you judging your airspeed with these Cold war era jets? I'm assuming it was through listening to the wind.

[@FSX404]

Airspeed indicator is the simple answer (I check it all the time every few seconds), but also fly these non-flybywire planes with a light hand. In most cases there will be AOA indicators, sound or light on the MiG21. If ypu keep it at the edge you'll be good

[@monkeycake2612]

For the Viggen if you're too fast and pull too hard, you'll lose the wings, but too slow and you get an audible compressor stall which is fixable by throttling up

[@frostbiten]

What is ur setup? What VR headset and hotas?

[@MrZeke701]

For some reason. I am fascinated by the Mig 21.

Music for my ears😎

[@WhiteRabbit1983]

Because its bad ass.

[@ikarus7899]

Can you make a Video with Dogfight Tipps for the A4.

[@FSX404]

Right after this flight, we did some A-4 vs MiG-21 work with Talo (he flew the A-4 too before flying the Mirage III). So, sure we can make a video. But you can get first hand knowledge if you join the server, real time feedback.

[@WhiteRabbit1983]

The only effective technic against Mig21 ( when flying Viggen) is pressing Ctrl and E. Three times lol😅😅😅

[@Elitmaseen]

About the Viggen gun pods. Primarely not used for dogfighting just like the AJ37. JA37 hade a internal gun for dogfighting.

[@HungrigerHugo89]

It would be so cool if they'd develop that. I'd buy it in a heart beat!

[@catfood_03_4stray]

Too bad that Heatblur Simulations hasn't develop the JA-37 version with BVR capabilities yet. The domain of this beautiful aircraft is the thin air above 25.000 feet and at that altitude one should be armed with medium range missiles.

[@billyw5493]

Belive it or not, most of the systems in the JA-37 are still classified due to some being used in the Gripen. A guy a few years ago gathered all the information to make a simulation of thr JA-37, and got arrested for it.

[@billyw5493]

The JA-37 also has a stronger engine which does not stall out, its triple as powerful as the on in the AJS-37.

[@MrViggie37]

@@billyw5493 The JA 37D variant. It uses a Nav screen, namely the TI 237 and other systems used by the Gripen. JA 37C however should be able to be made.

[@ainsleystones4600]

That was really interesting for us Viggen drivers! Thank you.

[@mytubehkjt]

How do you get that info window up on the screen? Would be very useful.

[@FSX404]

@@mytubehkjt what window?

[@Saddl3r]

Do you mean the EWRS Picture Report? It's part of the server/mission.

[@skull1161]

i know that is the correct swedish way to pronounce viggen but it just sounds like vegan to me lol

[@EhmedCousCous]

Not really correct the word should be pronounced with the same “tempo” as “chicken”
