== MiG-15bis (JSBSim FDM) ==

The real MiG-15bis is the most produced aircraft of its type, and it made a great impact in its time. It must have been the most known Russian fighter in the West.

Aim of MiG-15bis FG project is to reproduce the real aircraft restrictions, habits, and features, exactly in that sequence.

Firstly, this mid-50's fighter doesn't have many switches, but without switching them correctly You would not even take off. If forgotten gears stuck or can even be teared apart on high speeds really than You get that here too. If You can overheat engine or cutoff it by low throttle then here is the same. But You can be sure that if You can flight that thing in simulation then You would flight real plane, at least if it is ready-to-go.

Secondly, it is a jet, but a no modern supersonic fighter with reheated engine. On subsonic speeds it starts to act odd in reality. Same on simulation.

Thirdly, if You can extract gears of real MiG by emergency procedure that includes lever, handles, and valve, then same is here. Again, there aren't so many switches as in modern airliner. But every switch behaves as it does in reality.

Rest of what You need to know to flight FG model is in included documentation. Read it carefully before takeoff.

Hope that it will lead You to know more about the real MiG-15. 

And wish You good flight,

Victor Slavutinsky, vitosnet@mail.ru.
