ED Translators Foka1 Posted December 25, 2015 ED Translators Posted December 25, 2015 So If Im in Mirage and on the ground. I can choose Missile (Magic for instance), flip Master Arm switch on and actually launch this missile with weapon release button just while standing on parking... So this is like real Mirage working? No ground safety? AKA LazzySeal
Live-Dimension Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 That's how it is for now. Much of the plane is incomplete and it's likely that this will change in the future if it's different in a real M2000c. I don't see why the M2000c would allow weapons launch on the ground with the gear down. Then again, as a pilot generally you're not allowed to turn on master arm until you're actually in combat.
nomdeplume Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 There's also a trigger guard on the stick, but this is automatically lifted at the same time as you enable the master arm (you can see it animate). Don't know if it's going to be like that permanently or not.
IvanK Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Also standard R550 install includes an Aerodynamic tab on the Launcher rail. This requires minimum of 150Kts (Mirage III anyway) to allow the the airflow to close the Tab. Once closed the Missile is mechanically armed. The Tab was spring loaded closed so once closed it remained closed until manually opened once back on the ground. 1
