Quick tip on how to use the ASP Optical Sight in the MiG-21bis more effectively to shoot down targets.

Oh --and I'm still a newb at this aircraft. Just posting solutions to issues so other people can benefit from them. I'm no expert.

You can see in this video that I set the target wingspan to too low a number, so when I 'framed' the E-3A with the pipper it assumed it was a smaller and hence, closer target. I eventually had to aim slightly ahead of the AWAC to hit it. The ASP is a very handy system, if one knows how to use it proficiently.

MiG-21BIS manual, p.125 :

"If you want to put your images in your kneeboard, refer to MiG-21 installation folder, usually"

"You will find Template1-3.jpg files there: edit them the way you want it, rename and save in the same folder. Next time you start the mission you will be able to see your images on the kneeboard. Handy stuff."
