Yeah a lot of hard work goes into making these aircraft and I am happy to have the pleasure of working in Razbam along with ED and EC 2/5

I don't think you can compare flight model characteristics differences between other aircraft especially with wing shapes and different FBW systems. We have a personal connection with the pilots from the 2/5 and we bug them constantly to really dive into comparison with the real aircraft and the DCS version. We have developed a good relationship with them and the communication is strong. They use DCS as training tool so they want to give us the most accurate feed back as possible. Actually we have even flown in their training simulators and the DCS version feel basically the same. When I got in the sim and tried it, I was quite impressed with Captain Smiley's work on capturing the "The Feel" as everyone calls it with FM performance. Except with the Thales simulated cockpit and a FBW simulated FLCS, also a throttle you have to slam in AB, etc. That is what draws the difference between their simulator and DCS that i could feel. (Edit: Their Mirage 2000C is the newer P2 Engine which spooled up faster, and we are addressing that in updates with accurate information soon.) The Mirage 2000C Stick is really hard to move and the pilots say that they learn to fly it "in the dime" not like how we do in in front of the monitors or in VR with our warthogs or Virpils slaming sticks from one side of the axis to the other. Also another thing about the simulator and this goes for every single one ever created that nobody takes into account when comparing to a real plane. Flying a real aircraft is a lot easier IRL than one on the computer, I don't care how good you code it and if you are Microsoft, ED, Xplane or even Thales within a million dollar simulator. It is so much easier in a real plane than any sim.

Not happening tomorrow, new items still being coded. WIP Missing pilot is still in progress. Will be added when it's done.

For those who don't go to Facebook.

The cockpit is undergoing new updates with the Dark Grey (current) color change, adding other items and as seen in pics the NVG filers which are really Plexiglas plates and dark green film over the lighted areas such as the PPA, RWR, Gear ind, Caution panel, Fuel Qty, and place-cards over other items such as Engine lights, and A/P.

French Air Force Mirage 2000C have been converted to use NVG. I have seen and been in the cockpit personally with the NVG converision. As Zeus said we will be adding NVG to the M2000C Module.

Some ACES II seat textures. Hope you guys like them.

There is dash 1 for flight, and a dash 34 for weapons with the manuals. It will use the sniper pod, but still working on the normal items in the pit. So no anwsers right now

Our is 15 April 1993 and is 15 August 1989 I figured since we are going to have NVG usage in DCS best to make the studs and filter when in NVG. Also I noticed the Center MPCD, some have BIT and some don't which would be better?

I can add the posts, you wouldn't happen to have info on that filter used for NVG? There is 4 posts 2 up top and 2 under the UHF knobs. Just to be clear they are ball ends with hex shaft and flared out base?

The knobs and switches are place holders.

Everything is being redone, that old model is not being used. Here is the render test in modelviewer of the FLCS.

Just got back into town, will look at tomorrow evening.

If you have an actual light source from max used such as flood light in cockpit (for example), it will shine through the console. In reality the flood light should cast a shadow on the floor from the console but doesn't in the DCS cockpit. :( The Refuel lights or strobes make their way into the cockpit and the fuselage doesn't block it. You can see this in the AV8BNA. The flood lights on the canopy bow, will cast light through the UFC to the opposite side of the panel.

Yes there is glass polygons and use 3C textures. There will be more updates mid March. Will fine tune PBR textures, and also the M2000's exterior bumps should be fixed in next update, AV8BNA's will come after my return.

Needles have been replaced on the texture and will be in next update, sorry about that everything was redone and some items slipped under the radar.

Hi Guys, I will look at and see if I can address the normal maps before I go out of town. The rho and theta symbols on HSI and also the VTB have been addressed and committed changes in our system for an update to ED. So hopefully that will make it out with the next update. Sorry about that, all of the diffuse textures were redone for PBR and it was a huge task, so some things might have been missed.

Give me a screenshot in the sim of what you guys are talking about.

Yes it's coming had to update M2000C for 2.5 and working on it, the T4 texture is more complicated with the engine metal textures so it's taking more time simplifying it down.

Yes that has been adjusted I don't know when it will come out. The reason is DCS engine doesn't cast a shadow from the fuselage so the light doesn't shine in the cockpit. We adjusted it by rotating the light source slightly to the right. Just enough to keep it from coming in the cockpit but still able to light the refuel area. There is still some light on the right aux panel.

That's how it suppose to be. The glare shield is cut to allow the clock which is bolted to the instrument panel. Some are loose, some are tight, it's just the way it is.

Here is another view of the new cockpit textures coming. I don't know if it will get out in the new update but figured you would like to see what to expect.

There is also an "English" Cockpit texture in the works.

Tried to post the full 4k but I don't know about this google drive junk so I posted it in FB and here is the 2k version. go back changed the link.

Ok Guys this is updated M2000 cockpit's look so far. Hopefully it will be in the next update. Try this 4k google drive link
