Everyone has the wrong idea here. Supercruise is not defined as above mach1 without ab. It is defined as mach1.5 without ab. Technically the f86 and f5 can both hit machine 1 without ab. So do you then consider that to be Supercruise? So my mig 21 can Supercruise at 5000m in clean configuration at 85%rpm n1?

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.

In fact, there is the wikipedia definition of "Supercruise", which is, i think, the good one:

Supercruise is sustained supersonic flight of a supersonic aircraft with a useful cargo, passenger, or weapons load performed efficiently, which typically precludes the use of highly inefficient afterburners (reheat)

 

So, in fact, the definition is fuzzy... Which is logical, since "supercruise" is another kind of marketing concept. "Ho look, my plane is "Supercruise" ! this is... Super !"

According to the wikipedia definition, yes, they are kind of "Supercruise"... Oups ? Is that mean that this kind of "marketing concept" has nothing to do with "aircraft generation" ? :music_whistling: However, no doubt that engines efficiency increased since the F-5 or Mig-21, so yes, aircraft like Rafale, F-22 or other 4-5th generation, are probably more easily "Supercruise"... justifying the new super concept "Supercruise"

I don't think they can sustain it, if so, no supercruise.

 

The definition has 3 aspect, which are quite subjective :

1- sustained (I'd assume level flight for more than just several minutes)

2- useful load (just 2 heaters can be deemed as useful load depending on the mission)

3- efficiency (how much is efficient ? an A/B that is light on fuel consumption can still be considered as efficient I guess)

Exactly. Just a marketing term for gen 4+ and 5. I like the term sustained supersonic flight without the use of an afterburner. Lol.

With the new parasitic drag parameters being added to the fuel tanks and the 530 I believe the issue of "supercruise" will be wrung out and solved.

So in clean configuration the m2k may be able to sustain supersonic flight without the use of AB however the term of supercruise meaning sustained supersonic flight without the use of AB and a combat load out does not any longer apply to this airframe.

Excuse me? Not in real life. Just some examples

 

F-5... supersonic flight not possible w/o AB

 

F-5.jpg

 

Let's take a modern a/c like the Super Hornet...

So I don't see it that common as you make us to think... I checked my Flight Manuals library and only High-end fighters like F-15, F-14, Mig-29... are able to maintain supersonic w/o AB, barely making it and with just 2 heaters (F-16 is a surprising miss though)

 

Regards!

the best FM evolution stage since release. but now mirage has a "overweight" tail. tailslide is not possible anymore. please return the tailslide ability.

may I ask if Zeus is still working on the M2000 or did he already move to the Harrier? I have been looking forward so much to the radar fixes...

 

Now I must juggle time with each aircraft. At this time the AV-8B is taking the lion's share due to me waiting for some info/data for the M-2000C.

I think the ECLAIR pod is still wrong. With every press of the button the system counts double flare instead of one already released.

I understand. I'm sure you have learned a lot from the Mirage and the harrier will see a faster progress.

 

May I ask which Infos are you waiting for? And when do you think the radar elevation reset and CCM can be fixed ?

Is the A/G guns solution going to be looked at? The rounds always fall short of the computed solution, with TAS being significantly worse than RS.

 

I confirm.

Why so much regression since last update in the 2000 fly model?

 

Flight* model

 

Because it was implemented inaccurately and RAZBAM is doing their best to fix that

I think this thread/post made a clear argument to the issue (only the first few pages are useful, then it degenerates).

I find this to be spot on with the new flight model:

 

Yes and no. The mirage with its delta wing has an ability to gain first shot opportunity on almost any fighter if the pilot desires but it comes at a cost. The high bleed rates of the delta wing also leads to high drag at low altitudes and its lack of thrust makes it a dog once its bled down

They fall correctly if you maintain 1G during release.

 

The procedure in Mirage 2000 is to release with full aft stick (around 5G), to stay out of defense area.
