I presume your question is about DCS M-2000C, not the real aircraft, so here go: - BR switch to On => ECM is active. - BR switch to Off => ECM is not active. Simple as that ;) BR = Brouilleur => Jammer LL = Lance-Leurres => Decoys dispensers (chaff & flares) ++ Az'

OK let's do this again. [TABLE]Setting (radar panel) | Azimuth coverage | Pilot adjustable? 60° | 120° total (±60° left/right) | No: these are the gimbal limits of the radar 30° | 60° total (±30° left/right) | Yes: by moving the TDC left/right the pilot changes the center of the 60° arc 15° | 30° total (±15° left/right) | Yes: by moving the TDC left/right the pilot changes the center of the 30° arc [/TABLE]

Azimuth is a left/right term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth What you're refering to is the altitude or elevation setting. In the Mirage: - azimuth is "automatic", it depends on the TDC position and the scan width (60 = antenna scan all the way left/right, 30 & 15 = antenna scans 30 or 15° left/right of the TDC position). - elevation is set by the pilot, using a control on the front side of the throttle. And I confirm this is not yet implemented.

As the knob is not supposed to move the heading green bug, I would say 2.0.1 is better than 1.5.3 ;) Please don't "fix" the knob => it would only make it back to an incorrect feature.

Nice, but why the violet? Should be blue like the flag ;)

Your assumption is correct. As I said: 1/ AP selected route (indicated by the green heading bug on the HSI) resets to 12 o'clock each time you engage the AP (AP goes "green") 2/ it doesn't work at the moment (1.5.3) => bug waiting for fix.

To build up on Zeus'answer: to have an IFF frequency interrogation (like the real ones) would require that: - all players/clients aircraft have a way to set their own IFF answer (on/off, which mode, which code) - all AI aircraft have a way to do so too; automatically? how to set the coalition codes? how to avoid 2 aircraft selecting the same code? what if a player chooses the same code as an AI? ... etc. - a way to circumvent RL incompatibility is found and implemented; e.g. a real Su-27S has no IFF compatible for being interrogated by a Mirage (and vice-versa); what if the mission maker want both to work together as a coalition? In short: not easy, big feature to implement across DCS... Interesting, sure, but not "urgent" vs other things IMO. In the meantime, sticking with the current "coalition IFF" seems reasonnable. Diamond: positive IFF answer Nothing: no IFF answer ++ Az'

Forgot to tell : it doesn't work at the moment (1.5.3) => bug waiting for fix.

Yes there is a way (not yet implemented). In fact, it's only a matter of engaging the AP. No it doesn't involve the selector knob. Because this knob is not made to select a heading. Yes the Mirage is different on that aspect. ;) = = = = = = AP selected route (indicated by the green heading bug on the HSI): - resets to 12 o'clock each time you engage the AP (AP goes "green"). - then follows the AP logic - can be set by the pilot through the trim hat (left/right) HSI knob selector: - is used to tune the VAD feature of the HSI; this feature is not yet implemented; it is a way to set (and use) a temporary waypoint defined by an offset (bearing/distance) from a Tacan station. - is not used to set the heading bug (and has no relation to this bug whatsoever); yes, it may seem strange at first, but again: it's just another logic. ++ Az'

It does. IRL that is. I'm not sure it's very useful for Razbam to implement this: it's intended for maintenance, we don't do that in DCS.

Well, it doesn't do it that well. But it does. Yep. Green Yellow Red.

I think that Nealius was noting that so many acronyms meant the cockpit is not easily "readable" for the average french-speaking people either.

Yup, that's it. Interestingly, it is claimed by various sources that except for dedicated test flights, this switch has never been used (never needed) operationnaly; a tribute to the quality of the flight controls ;)

:music_whistling:

Guys, please don't start again. Debate was held, decision was made. It's on the forum, read it if you like :)

I'm away from home for a few weeks with slow or no internet, and no DCS. Alert network switch is indeed for QRA. It powers a specific electrical network from the GPU to keep the aircraft ready to start (in particular, INS)

I heard no hits (from the then COMALAT). My understanding is that this is not gonna happen.

Hi Quick semantic note: Do not forget the dash. Mirage 2000-5. Why important ? Because Mirage V or Mirage 5 existed too. It was an advanced variant of Mirage III, but nothing alike Mirage 2000-5. ;)

Bjr, to merge = fusionner. Lorsque sur l'écran radar de ton contrôleur préféré, ton plot et un autre plot se rejoignent, et que le contrôleur ne peut plus donner de directions utiles tant vous êtes proches. Par extension, lorsque tu arrives au contact, en combat rapproché (voir "au croisement" lorsqu'il s'agit d'exercices avec présentation +/- face à face). ++ Az'

Hi, I confirm there is no caging of la boule (main ADI). It works with INS, not own gyros. The N/P switch is left on N (Normal) most of the time. The P (Pole) is only used in case of failure, when the instrument gives bad indications that disturb the pilot. P forces it to show only the black half-sphere (+ failure flag) => no more disturbing indications. OTOH: This is an error; your order was correct, the AP test is indeed done first (by request of the ground crew) then the FBW test.:poster_oops: ++ Az'

Yes. Only few people (of the flight sim community, suceptible to buy a beta module) need rudder and throttle from keyboard. Most simmers have a joystick and many a HOTAS. The issue you have was first noted because of rudder, that less people own.

^ this! Also, as a preemptive precaution: The movie features mostly the 2000C, but a large bunch of "inside cockpit" shots show a 2000-5 cockpit. Don't ask Razbam to make the same mistake, please ;)

Nice. I've liked this low viz 2-FD for many years :) It should have white NE PAS MARCHER markings, though, not black ones.

If you want to fly realistically, 2 max. Wings or boom, not both at the same time.

Quite. We have 11 C-135FR with the boom (that can accomodate either a nozzle or a basket) + MPRS (i.e. wings pods with basket). And 3 KC-135FR only with the boom (that can accomodate either a nozzle or a basket). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KC135family.jpg
