Gazelle has 4 variants so not totally unheard of.

Although I don't think trainers are a necessary stepping stone to the more sophisticated modules, I think they are useful for honing basic flying skills. FWIW, I have the C-101 and probably fly it more than any other module.

I believe Nineline said somewhere that the moving clouds video is not demonstrating dynamic weather. Just simply that the clouds will move with the wind as the old clouds did.

Ya, they should work like clouds but I also definitely care how they look.

This already exists in other modules so the support should be there.

Thanks for the continued support on the C-101 !

Nah. I don't want them to rush a release. I'd be fine even with next summer.

"definitely" might be too strong a word here.

No, it doesn't have NVGs but I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a mod for it. I don't believe it is super difficult. The C-101 doesn't have illumination bombs but it does have illumination rockets. Takes practice to place them where you want them though. Well, night attack ... you might be expecting a little too much out of this little bird. But first, I would say you need a moon lit night. Then I would say use a combination of flying away from radio beacons and using landmarks.

I'm not a fly-by-the-book kind of guy at all but what trouble are you having with night flying? I don't typically fly by waypoints since the waypoints would have to be over easily identifiable land marks. I just use the radio beacons like TACAN, VOR, and ADF.

Ya, you'll see a screen flicker if you alt-tab while in full screen.

Just like they do in real life.

Yes. It was brought up as an issue after the C-101CC was released.

The rear-aspects are fine. The problem is that the all-aspect AIM-9M (and the Magic) behaves like a rear-aspect. And you also have to get very close to get a lock tone. Maybe not the biggest issue in the world for the C-101 but in the F-1, I think it would be undesirable.

For me, one of the most important issues is getting the IR missiles working properly. Where rear-aspect missiles act like rear-aspect and all-aspect missiles act like all-aspect. This is still an issue in the C-101 and I know it has something to do with a DCS limitation with mixed IR capabilities but I hope they can find a way around it. This concern came to mind when they mentioned in the stream that the F-1 can carry a number of AIM-9 variants.

That would definitely be new. I've been waiting years for spotlights to be reflected on water. Nice to hear that they've finally implemented it.

^ I think all this stuff about real world capabilities should go in the Mirage F-1 Info thread. Not the update thread.

It will be Twitch streamed. No user account needed. Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/d3liverator Discord: https://discord.gg/FfQthya

And the cloud reflections seem more well defined than before. They were just kind of blotchy before.

It means deck crew / infantry are now gonna be S..M..A..R..R..T.

Well, no matter. It's a big improvement. The couple of times I tried, the wingmen were pretty well behaved. Hopefully, ED will make further improvements to it. I tried to stay pretty far to the left on my approaches. Maybe that helps.

Just updated to stable a few days ago and noticed that wingmen now land with you in formation. Awesome! I've been waiting for that for years!

It was tongue-in-cheek.

How about "Repairing Simulator" where you have to put in several hours to several weeks to repair a plane.

Yup, thanks again for the updates. I don't have Open Beta so can't try out the new stuff but looking forward to when it hits release branch.
