Vectury Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 For the French speakers among us, here is a documentary on the Mirage 2000.

Paradox Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I love that the radar display has the bearing tape on the lower edge, that's genius. Get very good situational awareness like that and never mistake what the radar is showing you.
domini99 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I thought the hawk and Mig 21 weren't for me when they were announced, but after following their development progress I got interested and had to try them out. Now they are my favourite jet modules and it's looking like the mirage will take me on a similar journey. I definitely find the M2K to be very very cool, and I am pretty sure that I will eventually buy it somewhere, but not at release I think. I'm gonna wait for the other jets and than consider which one to buy. My budget is very big and it isn't going to be neither for the following 2 years due to me having to pay studies and driving license and stuff. Once I have a bit of a budget I'll be collecting those modules like post stamps.
Aginor Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Very interesting display, thanks for posting Zeus! btw: I see bearing, speed, and distance there, but where does it display the target's altitude and/or direction of flight? DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
taaaki Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 The M2000 is definitely a release day buy for me. I would also love to see the Mirage IIIC or IIIE (with liveries for the CZ/EZ) some day. And perhaps even the Atlas Cheetah :D The Mirage III makes a nice adversary for the MiG-21 (Angolan conflict comes to mind).
jojo Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Very interesting display, thanks for posting Zeus! btw: I see bearing, speed, and distance there, but where does it display the target's altitude and/or direction of flight? It should be written at the top of the screen. But give him time, it's WIP :thumbup: Mirage fanatic !

Aginor Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Ah, ok! Thank you. I already guessed it is there somewhere in the real plane, and just not implemented yet. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Zeus67 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 What is the maximum detection range for this radar? Checking the docs and got some new info on the issue: Max detection range for the RDI radar is 80 nmiles with a 30º arc and single bar search pattern. In other words a very narrow beam. On a clear sky. Otherwise, max practical range is about 60 nmiles. But it has a data link capability that allows it to show contacts from external sources, other ground or air based search radars, that allow it to display targets up to 320 nmiles away. But anything above 80 nmiles has been spotted by another radar, not the inboard aircraft radar. Thus the 160 and 320 ranges are for use with data links, otherwise they won't work. "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."

Now they are my favourite jet modules and it's looking like the mirage will take me on a similar journey. I thought the Hawk was the only one for me, now I own everything except the C101 and mostly prefer to fly the 21. Looking forward to the Mirage and all the more "modern" jets.

jojo Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Nope, just the C variant. I didn't make it up, it's right off the internet. :lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_2000 Specifications (Mirage 2000C) Wait, are you sure this page tells that ? Do you know that Wikipedia can be wrong ? :smilewink: I'm French and I was on Cambrai air base (now closed and squadrons disbanded) in 1994 for Tiger Meet. http://www.natotigers.org/tiger-meets/1994 Home squadron was Escadron de Chasse 1/12 Cambrési, with Mirage 2000 C S5 (the one to be simulated). I can tell you that guided AG missiles were not part of their weapon load ! Just find me 1 picture of a single seat Mirage 2000 with ASMP missile ! No Mica or AASM for operational Mirage 2000 N/D up to now. Indeed it will never be for Mirage 2000 N since last squadron (2/4 Lafayette) should transition to Rafale within 2 years. This wiki page is full of BS, look for something better. Don't believe everything on internet :D Edited August 19, 2015 by jojo Mirage fanatic !

Tirak Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 We are not getting the Mirage 2000-5, we're getting the Mirage 2000C S-5. These are two very different aircraft. No lasing. No Mica.

I thought the S-5 could carry the Mica... Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)
domini99 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You know what, I'll hang around and wait. I'll figure out what weapons it carries after it's released. I know literally nothing about the Mirage.
jojo Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You know what, I'll hang around and wait. I'll figure out what weapons it carries after it's released. I know literally nothing about the Mirage. This is a wise decision. Indeed I think this module will be a good occasion to discover the Mirage 2000 C and a slightly different way of "doing business", appart from US and Russian aircrafts we are used to.

Bacab Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I thought the S-5 could carry the Mica... No. It has the RDI radar which is not compatible with the Mica. You are mistaking with the 2000-5 which is a modernised version of the 2000C.
