Let's hope they don't restrict the S-530F to the -M versions, and also add it to the -CE and -EE version ( however unrealistic it is ) The -M is a late and very specific upgraded version of the Mirage F-1 which is unfit for "cosplaying" most F-1 variants, such as the French and early Irakien ones. Adding the S-530F to the -M load out is probably already fantasy, at the time of the upgrade the missile was already quite obsolet and the F-1's primary role was no longer interception of ennemy planes. Adding it to the -CE and -EE would however ease such " cosplay" and widely expand the use of the modules, and increase the customer base, because, let's aknowledge it : this is what most potential customers want from a Mirage F-1 module on DCS.

The "built for Spain" Mirage F-1 have never used the S-530F, they only had ( the obsolet ) R-530, and those did exist in IR or SARH versions. Did Spain ever got IR version ? i don't know The R-530 had a better than average IR head for that time, and was described as being all aspect We can only hope that Aerges still allow the use of ( "fictive" ) S-530F on their Spanish Mirage F-1, having a 70s plane stuck with late 50s weaponry would be sad and would make their module nearly irrelevant for many

Great new that the F1 wasn't forgotten. I hope you add the "unrealistic" S-530F for gameplay reason ( to simulate the AA abilities of nearly all non Spanish F1 version ) to your products, it would greatly increase the attractiveness of those to non Spanish Customers and make the F1 a decent counter part to the F-14 and the upcoming Mig-23 and F-4E they all do ( but the -M ? ), the Spanish versionS are however stuck with the original late 50s R-530 which is quite useless, they aren't

none of the "Spanish" version F1 can use the S-530F they bought used Quatari F1 in 1994 which were S-530F able thought, those Fox-1 missile were already fairly outdated at this time. for the sake of gameplay, we can hope Aviodev still bring the S-530F with their module as an unrealistic option in order to allow us to "simulate" French and Iraqi F1 which are much more interesting for DCS

certainly among those : - the RD-33 required much more frequent and larger maintenance operation - the engines had a shorter life time

It is not a recent issue The viggen accelerate (too) fast until it hit that speed wall It used to be mach1.85ish, now it looks like it is lower, but it is the same

Hello, Do you plan to tweak the mod in order to improve it with IRL weapon load, CM numbers... To replace the radar by a crappier one (for IA), to tweak SFM to get more realistic performances... ?

a more realistic option than Jojo's 3) would be to assign the "PCA select" command( True HOTAS command ) when you know you are about to (be) engage(d), select the S-530D on the PCA with the mouse then, you will be able to select MAGIC / GUN / S-530D / GUN /MAGIC / S-530D by using the "true" HOTAS commands

The deadzone at 10 is way too much Deadzones are only there to prevent the "input noise" of your joystick from being taken into account by the game, so that when your stick is centered, the "virtual stick" is too instead of moving a bit everywhere + the massive curves.... if your stick is THAT unprecise that you NEED such deadzones, then you should buy an other ( and have a look at the T16000M )

Hello, some "still high" LOD levels do not take into account damages, like missing wings %5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/Dp3yLzJ.jpg[/img]

%5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/eOrbOHg.png[/img] just post Anything :megalol:

Because of how obviously broken they are on the Polychop's Gazelle Mistral module Both in animation and - much more annoyingly - performance To the point it has inspired one artist : %5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/MUjjN7L.png[/img] %5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/ymF1YgC.png[/img]

Hello, the two extreme position of the lever can be reached from one an other with the mouse wheel dragging the mouse Wheel backward over the wing position lever at overswep position allows to reach the fully forwarded position, and vice versa 3,2,1,0--"bug"--> 100,99,98,97...

if you want to uncoordinate the rudder, switch the "vrille" mode… then you will praise the FBW

it is a "game mode" option, main menue, option, third window from the left, untick the relevant box. i think it is the one at the bottom of the left most column the "true" thing is very poorly modeled in DCS ( hit "5" on the keyboard, not numpad ), it should only be a "fixed" marker in front of one eye ( ka-50 like ), but in DCS it will track the target…

there are intermediate state between no fox-3, and 120C allowed ( BF on PG, AIM-9X are forbidden there too) the AIM-120B being much less effective than the -C allow the 2000-C to still be quite competitive. despite 120B, R-27ER/ET, R-77, the M-2000 is the best fighter on BF in K/D the 2000-C is a better A-A platform ( performances ), but is smaller ( less load ) and arround 15 years older than the DCS Hornet which is true multirole and benefits from datalink, JHMC, AIM-120s and AIM-9X... however, the 2000 is a true counterpart to the RED FC-3 fighters, and to the F-14 the 2000's pilot also benefit from much better display and interface layout than the F14's pilot, which results in better SA

"[tuning things] … and alerts the pilot by audio signal when the missile has locked-on to the target. [ then a green light switchs on to indicate target in range]" IRL ( not in DCS, for now ), the S-530D also gives an audio signal ( What for?... )

the French R-530 is Mirage III RAAF Weapon delivery manual, page 25 can be found here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=219464

Chaff, by reflecting laser/radio waves may trigger the missile fuse

the more powerful in everyway tracking radar is obviously more powerful because the missile don't have any… radar… SARH missile are blind, they only see the reflected power of the emitting radar, if the radar manage to keep tracking the actual target, the missile is barely annoyed ( see previous post ) True, the radar shouldn't get fooled by chaff if the target is hot, but with a target beaming/cold with ECM.. even with a good chaff proof radar, the chaff may still mask ( target in cold/lot of chaff fired previously ) the true target ( Gun track on one F/a-18 video… )

Not only the chaff effectivness is very random, but it is also highly unrealistic in DCS The chaff should affect the tracking radar ( which it doen't in DCS ), while it should barely annoy the SARH missile itself : - assuming the radar keep tracking correctly it should make the quite early SARH missile think the target is slightly bigger and more backward than the actual target, and only as long as the chaff is inside the narrow emitting radar beam. - the more modern SARH with doppler filter would only be affected by clutter/noise/mask effect Moreover, the chaff should have some chances to trigger radar/laser fuses, while the flares and AB plumes should have some chances to trigger ( early/crappy ? ) IR fuses ( see Magic-I )

sure, it has already been done by several modders a few years agos ( it is really a matter of 3 textures + 5 modified lines of code ) but Magnitude only realized there was an issue last Summer, why would you expect them to fix it in less than 6 months ? it is nice and well that they plan to release a brand new shining cockpit in a few months ( so they said... quite a few months ago ), but they could think a bit about their Customers who actually USE their module, RIGHT NOW, not 1 year in the future and fix this issue in 1 hour

Neither the Spanish nor the French F1s could fire the Exocet The Iraqi EQ-5 and -6 are certainly the better original F1s, being true multi-role in the mid 80s. ( Air/Sea radar, targeting pods, laser guided bombs and missiles, SEAD 50km+ Bazar missile.. ) While there are more modern and "better" versions they are all upgraded / re-built F1s ( French -CT, Moroccan EM-2000... ) The lack of information to simulate them is however a real issue What is sad is that the Spanish variant are quite bad, the CE is a quite standard early -C version, but the E/E is an aborted upgrade, while the -M is an AG focused late upgrade. None of them can carry and fire the Super-530 ( which is the only weapon with which the Iraqi pilot made kills, the Magic-I having fuse issues, and the guns were never fired ), they are stuck with the much poorer R-530 and their fox-2 missiles It is not even like they had fought in a conflict

jump into the tutorial missions / read the Manual you can select the 530 by several ways, mouse, shortcut, HOTAS ( PCA select )

no need to be a rocket scientist to realize something is wrong with MISTRAL missile it self destructs while it is still very very fast, so : - either the people at MBDA are so dumb they severely restricted their missile effective range by setting a way too short timer - or it is poorly modeled in DCS
