About This Content Developed in the years immediately following World War II, the MiG-15bis was a first-generation jet fighter designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau of the Soviet Union. The MiG-15bis is a single engine, swept-wing jet that saw over 15,000 copies produced. The MiG-15 gained fame in the skies over Korea where it battled the F-86 Sabre and other allied aircraft. It proved an excellent match to the Sabre, and it often came down to the skill of the pilot that determined who made it home and who was left dangling from a parachute. Having an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio and good climbing characteristics, the MiG-15bis was also armed with two NR-23 23mm cannons and a single, powerful N-37 37mm cannon. Not surprisingly, it is considered by many as one of the deadliest fighters of the era.Key Features of the DCS: MiG-15bis:Unmatched flight physics that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend of the USSR.Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse.Accurate MiG-15bis model, country markings, and weapons.Detailed modelling the MiG-15bis instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, and electrical systems.Battle DCS: F-86F Sabre’s in single and multiplayer games. a09c17d780 Title: DCS: MiG-15BisGenre: SimulationDeveloper:BelsimtekPublisher:The Fighter Collection, Eagle Dynamics SARelease Date: 13 Mar, 2015 DCS: MiG-15Bis Download] [addons] Beautiful bird and and fun to fly, imo exceed sabre in every way (service ceiling, climb rate, cannon caliber and its look are superb) however nothing to play with yet in 2.2 and with deferred shading on there are flashy glitchy textures, hopefully it would be fixed in the upcoming 2.5. The detail is amazing. I respect that they have a translated version of the cockpit as well which helps when learning the plane as a native English speaker with zero Cyrillic experience. I'm not a very experienced DCS pilot, was always more of a WW2 guy, so I can't really give as detailed of a review as I would like. Suffice to say, this is a top notch module for a top notch simulation.EDIT: After spending tons more time on this module, I have to praise the developers some more. I have been digging into the INCREDIBLY DETAILED flight manual found in the docs folder. The level of detail is so good, I have trouble finding the words.. The DCS MiG-15bis module comprehensively covers this first-generation jet fighter in an unprecedented level, from its accurate flight model down to every single flip-switch. As with any DCS World module, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. As a newcomer to DCS World, I\u2019ve gotten a lot of joy out of dogfighting the MiG-15\u2019s counterpart from the Korean War, the F-86 Sabre, where air combat relied primarily on pilot skill and taking full advantage of the early jet fighters' strengths. With that said, there\u2019s lot of room for improvement in my dogfighting abilities, but I do feel like I\u2019m improving with experience, and I\u2019m also looking to delve deeper into MiG-15\u2019s finer details, such as performing a cold startup from memory. The biggest knock against this module is that it\u2019s very lacking in prebuilt missions and campaigns. It would be really nice to fly some historical Korean War missions. Perhaps they may show up in a future update or module, but for now, the DCS website has some user-created missions and liveries that will adequately hold me over for now.Aside from its shortcomings, the MiG-15bis is a great module for anyone interested in studying this feared Soviet aircraft. I highly recommend a HOTAS joystick system and a head-tracking device such as TrackIR..

I picked this up on discount, but If I payed full price for this, i'd be pretty miffed. Yea the plane is detailed, so are others, that offer more, like the Mig21.Or entire games like Cliffs Of Dover that are now \u00a312.. I am intrigued by Mig-15`s look and the fact that it was technological step forward towards the jet age...but with air to air missiles not yet incomporated. I did not notice any major bugs on modul, however I never managed to figure out how to use radio to communicate with AWAST and ATCs even after watching videos on Youtube and checking Flight manual over and over. The plane`s flight characteristics makes it pleasant to fly. It is stable plane what makes it suitable for formation flying and ground attacks with cannons. I never managed to master bombing which is supposed to be executed with intuition rather than precise aiming. Landings require some practice. Engine is slow responding which forces you to tune your engine management skills for dogfight. There is one thing what always concerned me. It has nothing to do with DCS itself, but with actual Mig 15`s design. The aiming device in the cockpit is so big that it blocks the pilot`s vision. During positine G turns in dogfight gyroscopics aiming pipe dissapeares behing the body of the aiming device just as the plane you chase, thereafter you only rely on guess or intuition to aim. I never mastered it and so never became good in dogfights with this plane. Conclusion: The module is beautiful, intriguing and posesses the magic , but dogfights are challenging above the average.
