I agree. I simply can't believe the 530 (and the Magic II)as we currently have it is the best ED can do. The extreme loss in velocity just doesn't see to make a lot of sense compared to other missiles. I'd hazard the guess that the schedule for releasing the Mirage with somewhat working weapons was pretty tight and this was the best they could do in limited time.

RWR is almost useless for me ATM because the symbols are basically sitting right in the center unless at very great distance. The radar also suffers from a couple of problems, mainly the loss of contacts that fly below/above you since we can't control the radar antenna yet, and a bug that causes contacts not to show up despite the radar picking them up. The latter problem can be fixed by pressing the radar lock/unlock key. If you lose contacts when trying to transition from TWS to STT make sure to point the A/C towards the enemy in relation to altitude.

I have to say I had a total blast fighting Mig-29 As in the Mirage for a few hours yesterday. Limit the 29s to R-27s and you have a decent setup for a fight. Still struggle to hit with the missiles but boy do these cannons rock! :)

French girls don't bitch. They gently nibble on your ear while moaning "over geee, ooover geee, oooover geeeee" as your sound system plays "je t'aime" and your instrument panel lights up in a warm red. You also get a gauloises afterwards. :music_whistling:

Thank you, much appreciated!

Cold start works fine for me with the Mirage, both in 1.5 and 2.0. Make sure to actually select "take off from ramp" and not "take off from parking hot".

You need to create a new loadout, there are no existing loadouts (yet).

Radar slew doesn't work with axis commands (yet). Assigning keys/switches to TDC up/down/left/right works.

Thanks for explanation, Zeus. Really appreciate it how you provide information here again and again!

+1 for realistic jamming Hate the idea of features "balanced" for gameplay reasons.

Just to rule out the most basic problems: do you have version 1.5 or 2.0 patched to the latest version?

Did you lock up the contact twice? Keep in mind that locking up a target only changes the radar mode to TWS. You need to lock it again to change radar mode to STT in order for the 530 to guide.

You need to map TDC controls as well as lock/unlock target. You start in RWS mode. Slew TDC pipper on contact and lock target-> TWS mode-> lock again-> STT mode. You need to have locked up a target in STT mode in order to launch a 530 missile.

Select France as country.

Just played around with the Mirage for an hour, what a fun aircraft! Thanks to the Razbam team for all your efforts.

So........... are we there yet? :music_whistling:

We know that ED is working on WW2 ground units for the Nomandy map. I would hazard the guess that by the time we finally see the Stuka in DCS we'll also have a decent assortment of WW2 vehicles. ;) I am very happy to see this aircraft is developed, it's one of my all-time favourite WW2 birds and I've spent many hours with it in the original IL2, Cliffs of Dover and recently Battle of Stalingrad.

Stuka? Stuuukaaaaa!!!!! :pilotfly:

If you click on an airfield in F10 view you'll see the radio information. Towers use AM frequency.

That is good news, and a testament to Razabam's team effort. :thumbup:

Thanks for all your hard work! And I really appreciate your communication with us. Of course I'd rather see the Mirage today than later, but such is life.

Maybe it's a Chandelle? IIRC Chandelle is 'candle' in french.

I have an innocent muffin sitting here I'm ready and willing to mutilate it in the most brutal fashion if the Mirage is NOT released until 1800 CET. It's in your hands now! :pirate:

I'm pretty sure if the Razbam team could give us an exact release date they would do it. It's not as if they're trying to annoy us on purpose. ;)
