Hurray! It did indeed seem like a control input issue.

That's very unlikely. People very rarely use rudder assistance since it instigates funky behaviours on takeoff.

A screenie for those of us that are far away from our home PC? :D

What bbrz said. There is also a real life manual available on Avialogs. You can also consult this resource for newcomers who want a smoother learning curve: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=171646

I may have glossed over this a bit quickly, but basically you set the radar altimeter knob to 0 in order to reset the alarm. Sometimes you need to play or wiggle a bit with it before you set it to 0 in order to remove the alarm light that pops up during the self-test. Once the light is extinguished, you should be able to set your "radar altitude alarm height" without problem. Check this video at 2:30. The Radar Altimeter does a self-test, you hear the beep, and then you need to reset the knob as shown to get rid of the warning light.

Mostly every page in the weapon employment section. Typos. I also want to add a link to the RWR sounds. http://www.viggentools.se/

You're most certainly not. ;)

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179290 See pages 6, 20 and 54 of the guide.

Keep in mind: "Chuck's guide" for the Mirage is outdated and may contain mistakes, especially in the weapon employment part.

Dang... sorry 'bout that. I'll get it updated once the Mirage design is frozen.

Keep in mind: most radio encryption procedures are classified. Most radio systems in DCS are approximations of the real thing that are built for use within the scope of a simulation in lieu of real life training.

You can do some research on the Dowding system, which is the first effective GCI (Ground Controlled Interception) system used by a modern air force during World War II. Dowding System: http://www.iwm.org.uk/history/what-was-the-dowding-system Also, for the german side: The Dowding system was used even during the Vietnam war to great effect. The philosophy of interceptor aircraft was simple: go where the ground control tells you to as quickly as possible, find your target, fire, get the hell outta dodge. Regarding aircraft radars, the first versions I heard of were fitted on night fighters.

Happy Birthday!

@cichlidfan: When talking about real life documentation for a modern (70's and later) Mirage, finding what's missing is anything but easy... especially with Dassault documentation. What's available to the public is close to nothing. France's DoD is much more secretive than it seems.

I'm aware the guide is outdated, I heard you the first few times already, I'll update it once the new Razbam patch for the Mirage is out, not before. FYI: my guides aren't meant to be exhaustive to the point of replacing the official manuals produced by the developer in any capacity. If you're unhappy with what I made, you're free to come up with your own material and produce something better on your own personal time.

Nope, nope, and nope. I don't have the slightest interest in FC3 aircraft.

White Crows is just one of these tracks I'll keep listening to while flying in Virtual Aerobatics when I want to relax. This one has the vibe of the old Diddy Kong Quest game on the SNES I liked to play when I was a kid. :) Brilliant stuff!

Thanks guys, I'm writing all of these things down.

Fantastic news, I really dig Grim Memories! :)

Well, I expected that. Here's why: - Many WWII-centric squadrons are used to Il-2 1946, CloD and BoS/BoM/BoK as their baseline for the level of complexity of an aircraft. Some folks just don't want to learn new things like start-up procedures, and there are many of them. - At the moment the WWII assets are getting fleshed out slowly but surely. Personally, I'd like to see more variety in air units available on both sides. It's a matter of waiting for these new assets. - New damage model is being worked on. I'm personally very very eager to see this implemented. B-17s are nice, but a small burst can tear a whole wing apart. Flying fortresses could take a brutal beating and still make it home... that is currently not the case with the current DM. - New effects are being worked on too, lots of people waiting for those too. - Continuous support of multiplayer servers is difficult to have at the moment since there are very few established WWII communities in DCS at the moment. - Many are simply waiting for the big 2.5 merge because they're tired of having two or more installs on their cluttered SSD / HDD. - Lack of mission variety for ground pounders like me (P-47 is being worked on... and hopefully maybe one day a twin or quad-engine bomber will be made available). IMHO DCS WWII has its place in the flight simulation world: it's the only study simulation (apart maybe from A2A stuff for FSX) of aircraft as old as WWII, which are among the oldest aircraft in the world still flying today. 20 years from now, I think I'll still be treasuring this simulation even more for its tremendous historical value. However, I fly CloD, BoS and DCS for different reasons and, most important of all, to do different things. TLDR: Normandy is still in alpha, playable but it still needs more work to unlock its full potential and ascend to greatness.

Blow out does not seem appropriate in that context... a blow out is during a decelleration fuel schedule of the engine where the engine flame goes out. Engines are supposed to be protected against that a bit like they're supposed to be protected against surge. Did you mean dry cranking or dry motoring?

Hello folks, You know it. I know it. We all know it. My Mirage 2000 guide is in dire need of a coat of fresh paint. There was recently a little trouble with my links, but they're back up now. I haven't really had time to keep track of every change nor re-read the whole manual with each new patch. I intend to do so, but first I wanted to ask for the community's help in this endeavour. There are currently some parts of my guide that are out-of-date. I would like to know which ones. If there are some volunteers, please provide me a list of everything wrong/out-of-date with the page number and a brief description. I'd like to go through every page, every paragraph, every word of it and make sure it is up to date with the Mirage we currently fly. Hopefully, I know Zeus, Prowler and CptSmiley are super busy at the moment, but if Razbam could give me a hand as well with feedback (since I know they are about to update a bunch of things on the Mirage once the Harrier blitz slows down) it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chuck Original Guide Thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=157056

Links should be fixed now.

I can't keep up with tracking every change with each patch... keep in mind that I don't do this full-time. If you can help me identify what's currently out-of-date, that'd be appreciated.
