Vectury Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I heard (very clear) drag's sound on high G during last M2000 Wags Q&A. It was very clear indeed! You start hearing it from 3.5G+ It's a nice feature!

Zeus67 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 CCIP test. The CCIP accuracy depends on target elevation. The M-2000C usually uses radar ranging to get slant range to terrain and then calculate elevation. The other two options are radar altitude, but that is highly inaccurate on land since it only shows terrain elevation below the aircraft. Best used on sea targets. The last option depends on the INS and the waypoint list. If the target is listed as a waypoint with its elevation then the CCIP will be accurate FOR THE INS TARGET.

Zeus67 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 More CCIP Test. With RS (radalt) mode, only high dives will hit the target. Low dives will miss on distance thanks to differences between terrain elevation below the aircraft and the target elevation.

Flagrum Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Looks like a ton of fun! :thumbup: A question, though ... why can't JDAMs (with pre-programmed target coordinates) be used on the M2KC?

AFAIK the AdA does not have any JDAM in its inventory nor developed their own alternative.

Hook47 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 This looks awesome! I am so ready for this bird, Razbam!
jojo Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Indeed FAF uses laser+GPS GBU-49 on Mirage 2000D, with specific cockpit equipment, and AASM "Hammer" on Rafale. http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/armement-air-sol-modulaire-aasm-hammer-air-to-ground-missile/ One of the coolest AG weapon for me ! But the Mirage 2000C is good with the planned load out by Razbam/ M2M. It's not front line bomber, it doesn't have full options for this mission. No GPS bomb on Mirage 2000C. Mirage fanatic !

superostrich Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Quick question, in addition to the built in Spirale countermeasure system, will we be able to use the Eclair-M? It's a modular system of 6 cartridge dispenser modules (CDM), that allows for up to 48 additional flares, or 108 more chaff (or a combination, flare CDM = 8 cartridges, chaff CDM = 18 cartridges). Considering the Spirale's limited number of flares, the extra 48 is going to be pretty useful in a furball! To give an example of it's modularity here is the MBDA datasheet; http://www.mbda-systems.com/mediagallery/files/eclair-m_datasheet-1424428150.pdf Image it shows an Eclair-M with 2x flare CDM and 4x chaff CDM (16 flares, 72 chaff). You can see at the bottom of the Spirale datasheet an example of a Spirale/Eclair-M CDM off the aircraft http://www.mbda-systems.com/mediagallery/files/spirale_datasheet-1424429932.pdf Thanks! PS, module looks amazing, super excited! Edited October 30, 2015 by superostrich

xjiks Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I still don't understand the "refueling" possibilities of the M-2000C. Wags says in the video that it will be simulated, but if there's no tanker compatible with the M-2000C how will we make air refueling ? Any idea ? L'important n'est pas de tuer, mais de survivre.

Wags says in the video that it will be simulated, but if there's no tanker compatible with the M-2000C how will we make air refueling ? Any idea ?The US Navy S-3 tanker is already in DCS and is compatible with the Mirage 2000C, so even though this is not ideal, it will be possible to do aerial refueling before any other tankers are introduced. For missions where the Russians or Ukranians are on the same side as France, last time I checked it is possible for NATO aircraft to refuel from the Russian il-78 in DCS even though the equipment is not compatible in real life. The Indian il-78 is modified to work with NATO refueling equipment, so you can pretend it is that one. Edited October 30, 2015 by VincentLaw [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Will a few more polygons be pushed into that cockpit frame? It does stand out when compared to the rest of the 'pit, which is pretty good. Reformers hate him!

flyingscotsman Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 The IL-76 is hose and drogue, so that'll do for now. Even the kc-135's have an adaption for hose fitted aircraft.

TomOnSteam Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I've never really understood the gun snakes - do you aim with the end or the beginning? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode
jojo Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I've never really understood the gun snakes - do you aim with the end or the beginning? Right now it's not finished. The snake show your gun shell path like if you were constantly shooting. Without radar lock you have 2 horizontal lines, representing target wingspan at 300m (large line) and 600m (small line). The muzzle velocity is around 800m/s. So a shell shot 600m/ 800m/s = 0.75s ago would be on gun snake on the small horizontal line (600m) It's like the gun funnel on F-16, but instead of 2 lines, you have one in the middle. You have to guess target range, and place target on the snake at good range. If target is at 450m you place it on the snake, in the middle between large and small line. If you have radar lock, the 300m and 600m wingspan cue are replaced with target range cue = where your bullet would fall at target range. if you keep it on target for a while and shoot, all bullet will fall on target. This is tracking shot. You also have a circle telling you actual target range. 1/4 circle = 300m Mirage fanatic !
