    You're comparing a Mirage 2000-5 or 2000D, not the same at all. The Mirage 2000C is actually a nowadays very outdated 4th gen. It's definitely better than the F1 (a 3rd gen), but it does not ...

     

    Thanks -this is the exact, great answer I expect from flight-simmers 

  2. Googled "Differences between M2000C and Mirage F1"  🤓

     

    Two different generations of fighters. The Mirage F1 was a direct successor to the very successful Mirage III and it was an improvement in almost every regarding. The F1 was successful in it's own right, a true multi role platform but the Mirage 2000, especially in its latter guise, was a world class 4+ generation aircraft.

    The F1 had tradition mechanical control and the Atar 9k turbojet engine. It has superior maneuverability and a shorter take off and landing run due to its swept back wings as oppose to the delta wings of the Mirage III.

    The Mirage 2000 also has a delta wing but due to its fly by wire controls its able to offset many of the limitation of its delta wing and Snecma Turbofan engine is heads and shoulders above the F1 turbojet.

    But it's really the different avionics suite that tells the story. Modernized versions of the 2000 are equipped with the Thomson CSF doppler multi target radar. Other than AESA…..that's as good as it gets. I believe the 2000 can carry most, if not all, of the precision weapon in the Western arsenal. So there really no comparison between the two. The F1 was as good as it got for its day but it's really a 3rd generation fighter that was never really modernized. The Mirage 2000 has been a premier tactical aircraft since its debut and its upgraded versions are as good as almost anything flying.

  3. I would make missions but there's no learning the art of not having the AI wingman fly with double the AOA as human players in the same conditions.

     

    Don't really pay attention to how the AI acts.

     

    I always see the human as having the advantage and like to push them by adding different problems sometimes by just adding an extra plane. The Human has the ability to respond with better tactics or new tactics altogether.

     

    So, the ideal is not that the human always wins just barely but that you sometimes win and sometimes get overwhelmed. And have to improve.

     

    Always have to know that there is a range of skill that means some very skilled players will handle this easily - so no perfect mission

  4. :lookaround: Time to buy another DCS Module :lol: and wait on more MiG-21bis content :drink: :weight_lift_2:

     

    I went through various droughts of DCS content by learning to do missions with randomization

    Now I do more mission editing (and testing :pilotfly: :joystick: ) than just flying

     

    I had done only A2G stuff but was happy enough with the M-2000C to tackle learning Air-to-air and creating missions for A2A. Good plane.

  5. MBot has a dynamic campaign for MiG-21bis - MiG-21Bis Dynamic Campaign: Guardians of the Caucasus

    https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=136618

     

    User files show 2 campaigns

    Filter for single mission gives some pages of content

    More simpler - I created a mission that has 8 missions in it with 3 or 4 enemy types per mission

    (28 missions in total)

     

    MiG-21bis Kutaisi Runway Scramble - MULTI-MISSION

    https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2647444/

     

    This is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 8 air-to-air mission types

    Your opponents will be varied Russian & Iranian fighters (F5E, MiG-21, MiG-23)

    The AWACS Radio will give you the air-to-air mission type as you wait on the runway.

     

    Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent - Random enough to keep you busy

     

    It has really honed my A2A skills in the MiG-21bis - would have given up the MiG-21bis without it

     

    Started creating a campaign now but no estimated time - I prefer to make mission packs

    I've already made a few A2G missions for it (in the User files) with some randomization of targets.

  6. Currently using 2.1.0.5677 NTTR

     

    Tried to get responses out of Home Airbase ATC and AWACS with MiG-21bis in a mission I was building

    Using Easy-comms & Frequencies were black and did not change

     

     

    Set up an test mission (attached) that tested AWACS and ATC

    The F-KEY responses were white but there was no responses from AWACS(E2) or Home Base (GroomLake)

    Swapped in the Su-25T and got the correct responses

     

    Went back to my mission (MiG-21bis Escort OP Hunters) & swapped in a MiG29S and got the correct responses

    Swapped the MiG-21bis back in & the same non-response

    Test AWAC Su25T .miz

    MiG-21bis Escort OP Hunters.miz

  7. With a lot of testing and a lot of improving my own MiG-21 skills, I finally have finished that Multi-Mission mission

    Mig-21bis Kutaisi Scramble

     

    It is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 8 air-to-air mission types with varied Russian & Iranian enemy fighters (F5E, MiG-21, MiG-23) as your opponent.

     

    The Radio will give you the air-to-air mission type as you wait on the runway.

    Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent

     

    I am not much of a air-to-air fighter. All my other missions have been ground-pounding in the A-10A, Ka-50, and Su-25T. The few missions I had created for the MiG-21bis had been air-to-ground as well.

     

    I had bought the MiG-21bis mainly for its lovely cockpit and not much else. But then I picked up the M-2000C; not as beautiful as the MiG-21 but had lots of good avionics and warning systems and pretty good missiles so that I enjoyed A2A for the first time and then decided to created that original M-2000C Multi-mission. Lots of opponents and different types of missions - no one & done for me.

     

    The M-2000C was more capable than the MiG-21 so I had to do a lot more testing and tweaking with the MiG-21bis to get enough action and variety. I reviewed the missiles and jamming devices and got a good variety

     

    I learned a lot. Now onto other things for the MiG-21bis

  8. Good work on this - never thought to use the beacons except for landing

     

    I tend to work on CAS missions as well and use the kneeboard a fair-bit.

    But if you have a list of Waypoints, you can use a screen of the briefing to list the Waypoints and directions - very much like a mission card

     

    A simplified Mission Card might be done such as:

     

    Kobuleti depart Runway 70

    turn to 260 (WP1 at Waters Edge)

    Turn 180 to WP2 at River Intersection

    Turn 177 to WP3 at Enemy camp

     

    And you might want to take a look at older Mission Cards

    - have them shown in the briefing as well

     

    And I also use supporting spotter with flares - using F10 Options and Flare triggers

    But I definitely need more recon photographs and model pictures for identified targets

     

    There are also discussions on this with

    https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139370

     

    And samples of A-10 Mission Cards

    Thanks for this

  9. BETA Mission to test

     

    I have created a Beta for testing the opponents that the MiG-21bis might face

     

    But when I started to fly, I realized I was not good enough with the MiG-21bis

    My main Air-to-air has been the M-2000C which has lots of situational Awareness aids

     

    So, I will need help in testing

     

    This AWACS Protection mission is a random choice of the following flights:

     

    Opponents are:

    2 x Mig-29A (R-73)

    3 x F-5E (AIM-9P)

    4 x Mig23 (R-60M + R24R)

    4 x MiG-21bis (R-3R)

     

    You are a 4 Flight of MiG-21bis launching from the runway

     

    Let me know of any questions you have or suggestions you can make

     

    EDIT: Removed Beta

  10. I am working on a MiG21bis version of my Kutaisi MULTI-Mission A2A Scramble

    - that depicted an early Georgian departure from the Soviet Union with Western Allied support

     

    In the mid-80's, your French M-2000C lined up on the Georgian runway and you got

    1 of 7 random missions against

    3 or 4 different random enemy airframes (Mig-21, MiG-23, MiG-29A, and su-27 - with no extended range missiles)

     

    M-2000-C Version https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2463568/ RUNWAY take-off

     

    I'd prefer not to massively rework this - I'll just make the 4-flight of MiG21s Georgian scrambling I would drop the Su-27 opponent

     

    But what would you want to see as an opponent?

     

    Any other Warsaw Pact or Soviet allied plane (Abkhazia, Belarus, China, Insurgents, Iran, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Russia, Serbia, South Ossetia, Syria)?

     

    Or maybe a fictional capture/re-purposed Western Aircraft - maybe earlier the Soviet got hold of a Western air-frame and manufactured a Soviet version prototype

     

    MiG-21bis Mission Finished - see full message below

     

    Mig-21bis Kutaisi Scramble

  11. Finally uploaded the Multi-Mission Mission

     

    M-2000C Kutaisi Runway Scramble - A2A MULTI-MISSION

     

    RUNWAY START

     

    https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2463568/

     

    This is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 7 air-to-air mission types - as ordered on the radio

     

    Your opponents will be varied Russian fighters

    Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent

    Not totally random but enough to keep you busy

  12. Working on an multi-mission A2A mission for the M-2000C

    - You start hot on the runway with a 4-flight and are randomly given 1 of 8 mission types

    - Most missions you face an enemy flight (2-4 fighters) randomly chosen among Su-27/Mig-21/Mig-29A/MiG-23 with no extended range missiles

    - there's also an CAP 2 flight that's aggressive off their CAP route

     

    I have a random option where 2 of your flight are disabled (#3 and #4) leaving #1 and #2

     

    Is it OK to be unfair with 2 Mirage vs 2-4 fighters? (but since you can try again, might be worth a shot)

    How often should that reduced flight show up randomly?

     

    [EDIT: Added actual mission]

     

    Finally uploaded the Multi-Mission Mission

     

    M-2000C Kutaisi Runway Scramble - A2A MULTI-MISSION

     

    RUNWAY START

     

    https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2463568/

     

    This is NOT multi-player but single-player where you start at the Kutaisi runway and wait for 1 of 7 air-to-air mission types - as ordered on the radio

     

    Your opponents will be varied Russian fighters

    Restart the mission to get a very probably different task and opponent

    Not totally random but enough to keep you busy

  13. Missions

     

    Attached are 2 missions

     

    KnifeFight_SP - single player F15C vs. F15C. Good place to start.

    KnifeFight_MP - if you have a on-line friend, you can try this.

     

     

    You start the mission with the fighters 9km apart - head-on

     

    You are likely going to have to modify the mission; when I play-tested it, the enemy fighter had me locked up within 2 seconds and fired. You wanted them that close and that's what happens

     

    Open the Mission Editor to:

    • Make the flights closer or further (there's a distance tool)
    • Change their weapons (maybe even make the fighters to have gunz only)
    • Change the enemy Fighter from 15C to another type

     

    Good Luck :pilotfly:

    KnifeFight_MP+SP Missions.zip

  14. I have a multi-mission single-player mission where the Pilot is waiting on the runway for whatever mission is randomly assigned. It is set in 1989 with early - too early - Georgian independence and France sending the M-2000C.

     

    I have chosen to pit the Mirage 2000C against mainly Mig-23, Mig-29A attackers

    There is an occasional Su-27

     

    For reasonable difficulty and parity, do I need to need to nerf the missiles?

    Are there other Soviet opponents - like the MiG-21?

  15. So now that im gettin back into setting myself up with the warthog im haven issues..

     

    1st.....Bought a-10c BFT and enemy within modules,no clue how to load them in with the game..I paid for them and have serial # but how in the name of god do i bind them/activate them..I see them in the module manager under campains with serial # but thats as far as i get..

     

    If you see the Serial #, you should have the DLC

    - From the Main Menu, select CAMPAIGN on the right,

    - Under the Module list on the Left, Choose the A-10C and wait some moments while it loads the list of campaigns in the centre (under Campaigns)

    - Highlight the Campaign and hit the button on the bottom that says NEXT

     

    2ND...Thought i saw in a cpl place that the wart hog commands were loaded in the game automatically..I go into game setting and i see a wack of gobblity gook that makes no sence(no clue on how to read puter lingo)in relation that pushing this button mean such and such..

     

    Up loaded drivers and software late last night but again im a dumbass when it comes to pc stuff and again..lost..

     

    Keys & Joystick button - there are more than a few.

    Keep paper and pen handy and start running the TRAINING missions

    - From the Main Menu, select TRAINING on the right side

    - Under the Module list on the Left, Choose the A-10C and a list of the Training Missions is listed

    - start from there

     

    Also when I am getting back to the A-10C, I repeatedly play the River Raider single Mission

    - it has a mid-air start (no start-ups)

    - I still have to do a few training missions on the following:

    • TGP Targeting Pod AN/AAQ-28 LITENING=28
    • Mavericks
    • Precision-Guided Munitions

    It gets me going.

     

    For all missions, I use the automatic Start-up

    - RIGHT_WINDOWS Button + HOME Button starts it up

    - if you're still learning the HOTAS and other commands, in-mission you can hit the ESC button and scroll through the key and joystick buttons

     

    There's nothing automatic but it's fun to master.

  16. Had a slight hiccup. Unzipped it to but did not see it in my Campaign User TAB

    I had loaded it into Campaign Builder, put some verbiage in the Campaign Description

     

    Over the Hump (MiG-21bis version)

    Dirty Rotten Flieger's Mig-21bis adaptation of MiG-29 campaign.

    and did a File Save AS - it showed up right away

  17. I've just started learning the MiG-21bis so my air-to-air is weak but competent with air-to-ground

     

    Attached is a bombing mission in the Turkish mountains against some Georgian rebels at their River Camp. It's my first MiG-21bis mission but I've made many missions.

     

    There are 2 versions - AIR Start and RAMP Start

     

    Please let me know:

    If too hard, too many targets or if not the correct load out or any other problems

     

    Merry Christmas - hope you enjoy it
