It's in French but as far as I can make out the above missile is an exercise magic as stated by WinterH.

 

(approx translation)

For reasons of economy, a training version with only the homing head was created because of the missile wear out during flight. The replacing of a simple tube equipped with a homing device costs less than a complete missile, equipped with explosive charge, propeller, proximity fuse and fins system.

Today, nobody is safe from the M2000C.

The variant represented can carry any tpe of targetting pod?

 

It can't carry any kind of targeting pod at all as far as I know.

Yes, Mirage 2000 C doesn't carry targeting pod.

 

For export Mirage 2000 with RDM radar the 2000 EAD (UAE) had the capacity (now upgraded to 2000-9), and maybe Mirage 2000 H in India. But it's "home made" with Israeli targeting pod. Not sure if it was twin seat or single seat Mirage.

Mirage fanatic !

As the Mirage has no targeting pod, does it have some sort of dive bombing calculator to achieve some degree of bombing accuracy?

 

It mainly uses the INS system for CCRP purposes. It does have a CCIP as well.

AFM vs SFM, which one is better?

 

The differences between the AFM and the SFM is as follows:

 

The AFM provides better control to the developer of the aircraft characteristics, with the SFM you surrender all control to the SIM.

 

BUT!!! and there is a very important one:

 

Aerodynamically speaking, a really well done SFM would be indistinguishable from an AFM.

 

In the M2000C case, at this moment it is flying with the best SFM that we could achieve. Her flight characteristics, and that means a lot of graphics curves at different regimes collectively known as drag polars, are as close as possible to the real aircraft. That also includes engine performance as well. Our AFM developer, an aeronautic engineer, created this SFM.

 

Now that we have that SFM, for development purposes and to establish a base against which we can test everything, we are developing the AFM. The AFM takes more time to develop and fine tune, since it gives us total control of the aircraft.

 

So, yes. At this time we are flying with a SFM but eventually we will have our AFM, which right now is in early alpha stage.

 

I'll skip the part about what the difference is in generic case (theoretically speaking), but in the DCS simulation there are very clear differences with using SFM and AFM.

 

Effect of damaged wings to flight model needs AFM.

Proper ground contact handling needs AFM.

Stalling, flatspin and so on are easy to notice.

 

I would suggest your developer takes a step out from FSX and start comparing what the different flight models really are like.

That is a really arrogant claim.

 

And I would really like to see someone to manage pull that off..

Really, do go ahead.

 

I can admit I'm not expert on aerodynamics but I'm curious to see what you can do.

Would not be the first time someone making claims like that..

Whoa whoa... lets not get too wound up. You can question his opinions, but dont start in with the insults, its his opinion that he can pull of a good SFM, I bet he can. I dont think that was meant to be arrogant, I think its confidence in their product.

Hmm.. I don't know how that sounded to you but I don't think it was insulting. Tone really does not carry well over text perhaps..

 

Anyway, there can be claimed that SFM flies well when you are flying level, constant speed, no crosswind and so on and so on. The thing is that does not matter since it is very rare to fly like that: these are combat aircraft and not passenger airliners. They are normally used in parts of flight envelope that civilian aircraft are not used at. And that means the "corner cases" will matter that much more.

 

I think I've expressed my scepticism here.
