May i also suggest to upload the updated manual in the official razbamsimulations page? The new one is miles ahead from the older one and could attract potential customers.

So here is a real touch and go pattern flown by Mirage 2000 pilots : - after landing align the aircraft with the centerline / landing lights off - apply full dry thrust (not AB) hold the take off pitch up position - lift off , 5 degr. up, gear up, 15 degr. nose upaccelerating up to 215 - 230 kts - at 500 ft AGL turn to downwind , - climb to pattern altitude (1500 AGL standard) - throttle back , hydraulic pressure check (SOP before every gear down, to ensure that there is enough pressure available) , gear down - slow down to landing speed (typical is 160 kts), rpm target 75% , when runway at 45 degr. behind angle turn to final - the pattern is flown with AP on and using the temporarily AP disengage trigger in the front of the stick - when aligned with the runway , match throttle , release the AP disengage trigger for 2 seconds (count 1001 - 1002), - AP trims the aircraft for landing speed - , press again the AP trigrer to gain manual control - autopilot should not used below 200 ft, as already described in the manual. - flare / land

Today was an interesting day, i visited a mirage 2000 airbase for an international air show. There were present Spanish (and a swiss) f-18's with their crews so i grabbed the chance to ask some questions . Word by word dialogue Q : have you flown a dogfight against a Mirage 2000 ? A: Υes Q : That must be an interesting fight, right? Both aircrafts are known for the slow speed handling A: The Mirage ? No … (shaking his head). Q: Due to the lift the delta lift produces.. A: Νο, The f-18 is the aircraft that has excellent nose authority and can turn well with 120kts Q: I heard the Mirage can fly even at 100 kts … A: No no no, the mirage has a bigger '' circle '' (he made a circular movement whith his hand in the air, i 'm sure he meant a bigger turn radius). Q: So the Hornet is a better dogfighter ? Α : Absolutely . The Mirage 2000 is not quite good in dogfight ( .. i thought WTF?) Q:So you have won the fight(s) against the Mirage ? A: Υes (shaking his head like wanting to express : easily). Back to the Mirage pilot who was standing few meters away: Have you flown against a Hornet? Me personally? No (… sad). I told him about the opinion of the Hornet Pilot, and he said : it's true the mirage can fly with 100 kts. Since i have posted / asked this in the past https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3310982&postcount=22 and since i have readed this https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3440838&postcount=19 i grabbed the chance to ask: Q : So if the pilot banks 80 - 90 degr., - no movement in the vertical - and pulls hard aft stick, the aircraft will reach 100 kts , despite the 29 AoA limitation? A : Yes, since it will bleed the speed. My notices now : the speed bleed rate of course depends on aircraft weight, configuration, altitude. Also, the pilot (and i) hadn't talked with concrete parameters but was speeking generally (don't wanted to freak him out). In game at 15000 ft (which i think is a standard reference altitude for dogfight performance) with full internal fuel (so not a conservative value), banking the hud cross at the horizon line and pulling back , the aircraft doesn't slow down below 144 kts. 100 kts i can reach in a dogfight hardly and only pulling high bank in the vertical (30 - 40 degr. with vertical bank). My conclusion is 1) the personal opinion of a real hornet pilot about mirage's dogfight performance is not decisive. I don't know what fuel / weapons configurations both aircrafts had and what the experience level of the mirage pilot was (though the Spanish pilot was very young). I wanted only to share the dialogue, which i find it personally interesting , since it's coming directly from the real world. (on a side note i asked also the mirage pilot, who was older, about the performance of the Su-27, that visited the Mirage AB few years ago - you can find the respective video in youtube. He said aerodynamically it was very strong, but the problem with the eastern technology is that it doesn't ''clasp'' with the western one). 2) About the slow speed performance Razbam is the only one that have flown the real simulator , have direct input from the FAF (input deeper than a small conversation with a single pilot) and they are the only one that know what they can / are allowed to simulate with the available data. But i wanted to point out the above, since it's still real input. Waiting eagerly to the end of the year to see if we will have any improvement on the FM also. If someone is interested, i can share a very detailed and with concrete numbers pointed touch and go training pattern, that the mirage pilot was kindly enough to explain to me.

I use different gamma settings for the hornet and the mirage exactly for that reason.

Please fix it as well as the hud and canopy cleaning bug reported here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=219860 Very annoying bugs that are present for some time now.

Thanks for the info! So what CE version will be get in DCS, early one or modified? And the differences between the CE and the EE are basically the INS and the upgraded radar?

Yes guys, pleaaaase, it's very annoying (this and the afterburner effect on the radar screen). Is this on razbam's or on ED's hand ?

vibora, could you share a real life CE cockpit photo? can't find something on the net. Are there any differences to the standard French c version?

The 31 AoA / 11 g FBW limitation for elevator mechanical stop position is also missing

Some facebook info from razbam regarding the ground mapping capabilities. https://www.facebook.com/RazbamSims/photos/p.1858206734265956/1858206734265956/?type=3&theater '' The RDI Mirage 2000C does not have ground mapping capabilities. In the real aircraft you can go into BFR mode point the antenna down and pick up some mountain and ground clutter, basically it just looks like dots''

If I understood the interview correctly, there will be some surprises by the end of this year (29:46 - 29:50)

I can't get it working although the option exists in the menu. Bug or am I missing something?

CCM

And the track file (see last fight). JustDogFight_CaucasusC_v1.4a-20180830-013930.rar

Something is also wrong with the hud closure indicator. Look at the screens. Happens often in dogfights , even with light g's . Don't think that's related with the gun snake issue (that is also seen on the screens).

Absolute top priority should be fixing the STT lock losing when rolling. Then full implementation of the missing AA / IFF systems, so we have a fully capable AA platform. And then move on more specialized AG systems weapons

That's why i'm asking, because the cougar is not mentioned. But it's not mentioned also in the T-50 base, though it is compatible with it.

Is this base compatible with the cougar stick? And will it be compatible with the new hornet stick?

The devs have spoken. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3536909&postcount=1 Harrier will be completely finished in 2018. Time will tell if they miss their deadline.

Very useful would be the addition of a magic employment rules of thumb table like this one https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2621884&postcount=130 (see also the next one post).

May I ask how compares this base to the T-50 and the Warthog base in terms of stick precision / smoothness / durability?

can someone from virpil inform us, when the t-50 bsse will be available for purchase again?

Don't want to open a new thread, can someone compare the warthog stick + extension with the vpc T-50 base / warthog stick? Are the differences really so big? And also, since I have an old hotas cougar, would you suggest to buy the T-50 base and use it with the cougar stock stick? Do they work flawlessy? I'm considering to go this road, and buy later the TM hornet stick (i'm assuming that it will be compatible with the T-50 base, right?) and the T-50 throttle.
