It does not have MFD with map if you mean this.

Do, or do not, there is no try.

You should learn to navigate with HSI. And print a map (or use a tablet or something). You fly with radials and distances from a selected point (Tacan, VOR, NDBs) then compare with what you see. Rivers, hills cities. For me, this is very inmersive, realistic, and funny!

Or simply following the HUD navigation cues, like the A-10C.

There is actually an MFD upgrade for the radar screen compatible with the 2000C, but I don't have any evidence of France using it, so I doubt we will get that unless someone can prove otherwise.

There is indeed an upgraded VTB (HDD) capable of displaying moving map, but it is in service on 2000EGM (HAF) only (and maybe some other export.. IAF 2000H ?).

I have very good evidence of France NOT using it ;)

Not for a Mirage 2000C version represented by Razbam.

Am I correct when I guess that INS drift won't be modeled for the DCS Mirage?

I'm wondering why it wouldn't be? IMO folks would be screaming for INS drift, because well realism. It would make it interesting having to compensate for it. My question would be how much drift is possible for the INS over, say an hour. The drift would be increased by maneuvering, yes?

Yeah, I also would love to have this feature!

And yes, maneuvering increases INS drift.

 

I once read about A-10s deploying from mainland USA to Saudi Arabia in 1990 as part of Desert Shield. They followed a GPS-equipped tanker to spain, where they stopped over night. The next day they continued to Saudi Arabia, but the tanker diverted to Bahrain, so they had to find their airfield on their own in the saudi desert and they had a real struggle to find it, because their INS drifted so far off that the airfield was not where the INS said it should be.

Wow that is a lot of drift for a three to four hour! But the hogs were supposed to be a daylight VFR war fight. Still begs the question of how much drift we can expect. I've only flown the GPS heavy A-10C and the props where it isn't an option.

I still wonder if we can expect drift at all. I really doubt it will be modeled.

from Q&A:

Q: will INU overfly to update INU and reduce drift be implemented?

A. Yes. But that feature will be available after the Open Beta.

So I assume INS drift will be implemented.

Oh, you're right. I watched/read that and forgot... :music_whistling:

That's a really nice feature! Has this been done anywhere before? Certainly not in DCS (A-10C and KA-50 are missing it and of course the FC3 birds) but what about FSX, X-Plane or BMS?

 

Anyways, thanks for the heads up!

I have the just flight tristar professional (lots of bugs and performance issues, I don't recommend purchasing it despite saying the following...) and it modelled the INS drift really well, I loved having to recalibrate over the north sea on a simulated tanker route ;).

 

Having such a feature really shows the benefit of GPS assisted INS as in the A10C and other more modern aircraft.

 

I might give that bird another go if and when I upgrade to V3 from P3D V2, that thing ate VAS like nothing else!

I guess the INS would be able to make an DME update, if such are present in the area.

There's also Flight Factor's 757 for X-Plane which models a pre-GPS navigation system including drift. It has three INUs though, so the INS blends those three positions for increased accuracy. It also does automatic DME/DME updating if you let it.

 

If the Mirage supports radio nav updating it wouldn't be DME/DME unless it has two receivers.
