I think the CDI bar is referencing TRUE with Needle Magnetic ?

MB339 Pilot training manual implies that you can trim the aircraft out in pitch to at least as low as 105Kias:

Pitch trim is insufficient to trim the aircraft out flying final approach. MB339A Clean with 518Kg fuel Remaining, Gear Down flaps full. Even with Full nose up trim the aircraft cannot be trimmed to stick free at any IAS < 145 Knots ! Where even in the DCS manual Approach IAS should be in the order of 115Knots.

Trying to set up an airborne spawn in Mirage F1. I want the mission to start with Autopilot engaged in PA and ALT, I also want the Radio set to a specific freq, the TACAN on a specific channel, The ILS tuned to a specific Freq and the Course inbound preset. I have the basic mission made, I then select Prepare mission CTL+M. I set the parameters up then exit the mission returning to the Mission editor I save the mission. I then select the mission to fly. on spawn none of the selected parameters are there

Yes on initial release the Zero Mills datum was incorrect in the order of 44mills. This was corrected quite a while back. The Zero mill datum is now correct

From the Weapons manual

Drag chute use is best at high speed (once below max deployment speed) max drag effect. Drag Chute use in strong crosswind induces directional control issues. Any time you run into directional control issues you want all your gear on the ground. Aerodynamic braking is of little real effect if the drag chute is deployed Brakes cost more than drag chutes.

The fact is once the chute is deployed Aerobraking is of dubious to almost useless value (As shown by Flight test data). Secondly if you have a directional issue you want to get the nose down ASAP.... Tricycle is better than bipedal. Thirdly in most Chute equipped aeroplanes the recommendation is to drop the chute if you run into directional difficulties ... from crosswind.

Err why would you be wanting to hold the nose off with 75% rudder in ?

This is a great read. If you have read "Vlamgat" then you need to read this too. Tells the story predominately from the Cuban side. In addition to the ground war it takes every engagement between the SAAF and the Cuban's and details it from both sides.

"R550 Magic 1 - rear aspect heater => Seeker magically uncages itself. Eats flares like I eat éclair" The R550 Magic 1 IRL Default mode is a 30 x 30 (+-15)auto scan with auto lock very quick and useful. (sadly Not yet implemented) This scan can be overridden and the Magic 1 put into Boresight (HOTAS press and hold 300/600m Missile unlock) mode 5 x 5 with auto lock/uncage . If the 300/600m missile unlock button is released without a seeker lock missile reverts back to 30 x 30 Autoscan The Boresight mode is the only mode currently implemented Once locked Gimbal limit is + - 30 degrees.

Rummaged through some old paper docs I had stored away. Average quality.

I did a while ago but no response so far. Will ask via another means. My gut feeling is it is.

Just a snippet regarding 50,000' and 55,000'. These limits are really associated with Human factors limits. Same limits applied to Mirage III. Limit without pressure waistcoat (G-suit type arrangement for your upper torso) was 50,000'. With a pressure waistcoat limit was 55,000' Above 55,000' required a pressure suit. The reasoning is to cover the decompression scenario. In the depressurisation case the Oxy regulator (>30,000' cabin Alt) will provide overpressure for pressure breathing (a very uncomfortable process that needs to be learnt as its most un natural). as altitude increases so does the overpressure from the Reg. At 50,000' the overpressure is getting so high it becomes a structural issue for the lungs and chest and counterpressure is required to keep them intact. With the pressure waistcoat the counterpressure is the same as the overpressure delivered by the Oxy regulator. Above 55,000' all bets are off and you need to full pressure suit. The pressure suit arrangement requires a different Oxy regulator High altitude set up. Both the Mirage F1 and the Mirage III have the energy to exceed 55,000' .... but not safely in all circumstances.

The manual is quite specific and states that the HUD Pitch reference and the Spherical indicator (in normal mode) display the same pitch value. If you delve into the manual you will find a series of diagrams that show how this is arranged. Even though the radar Datum and the Gyro ref datum differ in their depression from the FRL the output to the Gunsight is corrected and delivered to the sight by the Roll/Pitch Multipler box (R/P OM). So the pitch attitude displayed on the Spherical indicator and the sight are in agreement. This from the publicly available manuals for the F1K50ED. So the assumption is the F1 in game is the same.

"I never use that mode at all, as flying 10° AoA and normally referencing the runway (or PAPI/ VASI) will get you there as well. " .... you are depriving yourself of some good info Brem You can use the F1 VV and reticle in the same way as an E bracket on the F18/F16

Can you manually set the folder to a drive with more space thats different to your install drive? I know in the past this could be done.

800 mills in a 45 deg dive is nowhere near Real world .... for any aeroplane !!! A worked example in the 339 Weapons delivery manual for a MK82 40 deg Dive 3000' release at 300kts provides a total depression of 183mills

Dont know I just downloaded it eons ago so I guess not. Will go and see if there is a revised version.

Even with Tail number in the Mission editor set to nothing I still get Tail numbers showing in game. They dont show in the loadout screens though. Is there a way to stop this happening. OB (MT)

Though in the video you have no idea what the pilots Gain or storage settings are. These dramatically affect the "noise"or speckle displayed on the scope... as does Antenna elevation. Both require careful use to get the best out of the radar . Not having any noise or speckle is not a good thing ... no noise/speckle = no targets either From this video at about 6:27 in: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Greek+mirage+F1+video#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:0714a0e8,vid:wG8au-GTor4
