I have got a mirage with all tanks currently on autopilot burning fuel and dumping it, when the wingtanks are empty I will test it again. Should be about 12 minutes. Would be interesting to see if it reacts the same. Although it wouldn't matter much. since the centertank is drained before the wingtanks, so there would not be any point in dropping the (empty) wingtanks and keeping the center tank, that is already drained. *edit* . Same result as with full ones.

Officially, No. :D

I would be :) But I doubt it would be worth your effort at the moment, since I am only working on a single panel (at this time, but pit building has proven to be addictive :D). So with 4 "white dot" toggle sleeves I am all set. But, the M2000 cockpit is full of those 2 types of switches, so in the future I might be in for a bunch more. (Some other Mirage pitters who want some? :pilotfly: )

Those look like the same switches are used in the Mirage. They definitely are some nice looking switches. But the price for mil-spec switches is less nice :pilotfly: Anyone handy with 3d editing software who can work out some sleeves to 3D print that look like them, that will fit on a standard 12mm toggle? :D

My best guess would be this yes :thumbup: Another case of, RTM

Did you set the correct barometric pressure (in mbar) before takeoff?

What Azrayen said, first flip the switch. The switch is (at the moment) in a real PITA position though. And AFAIK not documented. (I just spotted AZ's explanation last week in de pending updates topic :D )

I think this is one of the main reasons of why it is so popular in online servers. It is the only module at the moment, that can compete with the FC3 fighters. Once the F/18 (or even F/14) hits the market I expect a large group of users to switch over.

Tried the shortcut? Start->All programs->Eagle Dynamics->OpenBeta-> Update DCS or, RUN "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update

You are absolutely right. Guess I messed up because I wanted to explain it in cm's (serves me right for using centimeters instead of millimeters :cry: ). Corrected my original post (and grabbed a cuppa joe) :music_whistling: :D

You can get easily get 0,1mm precision with regular "analog" calipers. That's what the small (Vernier) scale is for. :) First you read the main line. So in this image, 20mm. Then you check the smaller scale and see at which number it lines up the most. So 0 is a bit to the right of the line above, so is 1 and 2. The line at 3 seems pretty straight. One bar left from it seems the most straight. So 28. So this scale reads 20,28mm == 2,028cm :thumbup: (technically the caliper I used in this image has 0,2mm precision, but with some good eyework you can work out pretty accurately the 0,1mm difference)

The 2 buttons you are looking for are "Special Modes FWD" and "Special Modes AFT". If you check page 25 of the Mirage Manual (Chuck's guides are awesome, but a manual, they are not. They are guides). You will find this:

Sneaking from below works pretty good. Makes it harder for them to notch too. Being ready to lose the lock (and quickly re-acquire is) when you see them turning also helps. And just try coming as close as possible to your target. The mirage turns on a dime, so just keep hitting those 90 degrees turns when you hear a missile launch warning until the tone disappears. A tactic I use often is to just light up the bandit with STT to trick him into notching (and thus losing a lot of speed) a few miles before he is "in fire range". Helps a lot.

You mean autolock such as boresight/vertical scan/horizontal scan? Use the Special Modes Forward and Aft buttons. Also, wrong forum category. There is a M2000 section: https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=322

Since a humor-module for users is not included in the Mig21, I would suggest you try a Chuck's guide. You can find the startup on page 34 *edit* Whilst typing this friendly advice, I was sniped by Fixen with the same response :D

Has been working fine for months. Only distance though, no direction. (as you would expect).

Nice :bounce:

arguments?

If you have rudder pedals, go with the Huey. If you don't have pedals, buy some and go with the Huey. If you can't buy pedals, go with the Ka-50. :)

Weapon selectors, defaulting back to guns when empty. The way selecting weapons in the real aircraft works is, on the throttle there is a 3 way switch. Using it you can select 3 "priority" modes. Priority A/A guns Neutral -> return to PCA selection Priority MAGIC So if you select for example the 530 on the PCA. And press "priority MAGIC". You selected weapon will be, MAGIC. With guns, guns, and having the priority switch in neutral, will select the 530 again. So nothing special so far. So lets say you select priority MAGIC. If you then fire both your magics and have no more remaining, it will select guns for you, automatically. If you then select 530, and fire both of them. Again it will auto select guns. So it's a way you can always have a weapon at you usage (and to switch between them fast and easy)

I do, but is is not exactly "realistic" in terms of the real Mirage HOTAS (assignment wise) :music_whistling: I just binded everything I tend to use during combat-flights to buttons so I don't have to use my mouse while I run the risk of being engaged :) I have been using (and updating) it for months and it works great in high-pressure servers like the 104th. Only, I do not use the trustmaster Target software, but prefer to let DCS handle it. And just have everything binded inside (JSGME compatible) lua files. M2000C Warthog switches.zip

On the throttle.. :music_whistling:

After a dive and just for a short time. Or sustained? Because I have high speeds at sea level (Mach 1,8 and up) all the time, but only after I have just gone blasting down full burner from high alt. But it bleeds off pretty quickly. Most recent example is , where I start out at about 1150knts after a dive and do some turns and bleed down to 800kts pretty quick, like I would expect from the mirage. *Ignore the music on the video :music_whistling:

Looks great :thumbup:
