Some questions from a beginner

[Zoddom]

Hello guys,

 

I realize its pretty lazy from me to just open up a thread and ask instead of searching for the answer, but I feel like with the ongoing developement there were already so many changes between the different tutorial videos I saw and the current version that I really just want to make sure to have up-to-date infos.

 

So here are a few questions that came up when I started to learn the M2000:

 

- Fuel consumption: It happened about 3 times now already that I suddenly get the bingo warning, even though like 2 minutes before both of the indicators where showing 6, so I thought I would have a lot of fuel left. Is it possible that the indicators are logarithmic or something?

 

- Trimming: Does the Mirage really fly so nicely that you dont have to trim at all?! Im really blown away by how straight it flies at all times, which is also difficult to get used to, especially on takeoff and landings. Feels too easy even, almost like an arcade sim.

 

- ATC reply time: sometimes when I contact ATC, they dont reply at all or take a pretty long time to reply. And last mission, my ATC radio menu even got "stuck" in the request takeoff stage, so I could not ask for the vector to the landing approach point. Why does that happen and can you do anything about it?

 

Would be nice to get some answers, thank you all! :)

1. You have to watch the DETOT, this is the total fuel in your aircraft and your external tanks. JAUG is your internal fuel. the 2 indicators show the fuel remaining in your feeder tanks that are the last ones to be emptied, each one contains 600kg x 2 = 1200kg -> your bingo.

 

2. The aircraft have fly by wire commands, I advise you read about it to understand why the mirage feels "on rails", as IRL.

 

3. DCS ATC is a bit bugged at the moment, we don't use it in our squadron.

 

The first 2 question have their answers in the aircraft manual, you should check it ;).

- You pretty much only need trimming for asymmetrical load-outs.

- Yes it happens frequently that ATC seem to be on the toilet instead of in the control tower :music_whistling:
