FlightGear Versions
There are currently 2 versions of the MiG-21bis available in FlightGear:
- An older version in FGAddon
- An actively developed version in a Git repository
Eventually, the version in FGAddon will be updated at intervals with the version on Git. The instructions below are covering the Git version, as it is more complete and realistic both in terms of flight model, systems and for supporting military simulation.

Aircraft Help
Engine and Throttle Management
In general the engine of the Mig21-bis is less responsive than that of a modern jet fighter - and throttle and engine management is more subtle.
If N1 gets too much higher than N2, you will cause an engine surge (can happen at as low as 20% separation, it's guaranteed by 30%). Therefore one needs to keep an eye on the N1 and N2 gauges and sudden changes in the throttle over a large range are bad. The max N1 to N2 ratio depends on airspeed as well, so you'll have to make sure you don't blow up your engine on a dive.
On the other hand the air intake cone in the nose is handled by the plane automatically, i.e. without necessary pilot intervention.
