Hi toni, That has been discussed and is a possibility in the future. Right now we have to complete all the pending things. So we will see what the future brings. :)

GBU with external designation.

As in any other module in DCS, with zoom out, a bit of distortion comes and what you see is not 100% accurate. F1 cockpit is narrow compared for example with a C-101 Cockpit. In any case any comment is welcome and can be helpful for us.

Initially they came with the old BF installed, but the place was already reserved for the ALR-300, as per EdA request, due it was planned to install it soon. The RWR BF/ALR option has been discussed, and it's a possibility, first we want to focus on one specific version, then once will be completed we will decide, but thanks for your comments, as it was already discussed and that helps.:)

Yes, apparently it should be possible for the EE, but we will do more research about this. Yes.

The F1EE had the Cyrano IVM, but at the end, the whole F1 fleet was modernized to the IVM version.

F1EE same HUD as C version. F1EDA came with the modern (at that time) VE-120.

That's a Mirage III cockpit, not F1, and yes, F1 cockpit feels a little bit claustrophobic... :wacko: The R.530 was used, the super 530 we have to study and ask, if it would have been possible to implemented on the EE.

Well, we have to study this, and study each single weapon. For example R550 it won't be a problem, even it was not used, the spanish F1 was fully operational to use it. Regarding super 530, radar version compatible was required, only exQatar F1's were compatible to use them, so we would need to study this, to find the perfect balance between reality and a flight sim.

Yes, that's correct. Same as all CRT monitors, they were affected by direct sun light, making them very difficult to see the image. F1 story on Spanish Air Force is interesting as she initially started as interceptor and ended focused on A/G role specially on M versio, achieving very good reputation on this task. The MATRA R-530 had two variants on EdA, IR and SARH, commonly on the F1 could be equiped on central pylon, on one on each wing as pair, in that case, one them was IR and the other the SARH version. The R530 had not very good reputation nonetheless.:D

Exocet integration on M, never was implemented afaik. But we will ask.

The sidewinder used on spanish F1, was the Aim-9JULI. Regarding pods, AFAIK, Barax pod for ECM, and Syrel POD for ELINT missions.

You are right. :thumbup:

Hi, work on F1 is not delaying in any case the C-101, as modelling work on C-101 is complete. So were are gathering the info and contacts needed for the F1 and working on model. But regarding the C-101 the area where we are working is coding CC systems and AFM. We understand your concerns, as is not the perfect situation we would like, but when you face problems, the only way to fix them is with more work, patience and positive attitude, and that is what we are doing. :) The screnshoot posted of the cockpit is in a very early stage, so you and also we, will have the chance to compare in the futuro. It's a F1EE cockpit, in case you were wondering.

Thanks, well noted. :)

I understand you can loose your faith. We don't have that option, and we won't. As per news on the forum, well noted, we will try to bing more news and more info on the forum.:)

The only way to change this is with work, and that is what we are doing. We understand your concern, and the only way to fix that will be through work and more work.

Starting from the end. 2.- You are right, english tip label is wrong. 1.- It is not just the boost pump, it's also a feed cell inside of fuselage tank, surrounding the pump, and allows a few quantity of fuel available, in case of negative Gs, as the rest of the fuel will go to the top of the tank, leaving the pump which is in the bottom with no fuel to feed the engine. This feel cell prevent this, remaining this few quantity to keep the engine running at least for 30 seconds. On figure 3-27, it's the item number 4. In any case what you said is interesting, as disconnecting the pump, it's still feeding the engine. I have to study this, thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the version to be developed, we are studying the different options we have, based in terms of info available for us. In Spanish Air Force, 3 different versions were in service before they went to the big upgrade for the F1 fleet to the M version, were the rest of the fleet remaining in service was normalized to the M. Before Mirage F1M we had: Mirage F1CE: C version, coming up to 3 different tranches, in each tranche, the F1 was receiving different upgrades. Also in each tranche, instruments could be found moved to different places, making the job for pilots a little bit more difficult. Mirage F1EE: E version, came straight from the tranche 3. EE had INS system (same as INS installed on Super Etendard), Chaff and flares system integrated, ECM capabilities, refueling probe, among another small upgrades. Tranche 3 of CE also came with ECM capabilities throgh the Barax pod, chaff and flares inegrated ALE-40. Both CE and EE, later on received new modern RWR ALR-300, replacing the old original BF. Mirage F1EDA: E version ex-Qatar F1's, with cockpit distribution similar to Iraq F1EQ, having INS system, but not the same as EE, Super Matra 530 capabilities, no tacan, no chaff/flares integrated, no ECM capabilities (Not being possible to use pods available in Spanish Air Force), new HUD VE-120, among other differences. Right now, this versions are the options we have on the table to evaluate which one should be more interesting, and EE is a real candidate, we love the way the cockpit is designed, and the functionality. We believe it could be a very interesting aircraft to develop and to fly it as well. CR/CT, and EQ, could be also interesting options, but lot of information is required to develop an aircraft, and our info in those versions is very limited. If we were lucky we could get the flight manual, but that is not enough. We need lot of documentation, photos, videos, contact with former pilots, maintenance pople, simulator access. As much as we can get of this, the better will be the final result, and for us, it will be more easy to get on spanish versions, basically there is no other reason. CT, CZ, AZ, CR, EQ, EH would be interesting, but not more than a proper CE/EE/EDA, with the proper info to do a nice job. And take in count at the end is a french aircraft, even 90% of the cockpit was remain in french labels during the service, and manual were never translated into spanish, forcing pilots and maitenance people, to study the original language to be able to learn the aircraft.:D All this post, could be applied to the C-101 project, and why was choosen.

We are still gathering documentation and info, to study the project, but most probably EE variant.

Many thanks for your support, really appreciated.:thumbup:

Thank you for your words.

Hi, Yes, Spanish version of the manual is planned.

Yes, you can jump into rear cockpit, and small functions are working... but full functionality are being implemented.

Also thanks to you to have an english version very early for the community. :thumbup:
