flameoutme Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I own the 18, 14, now 16, F-5E and the M2000. Of them all I like the M2000 best. Complex enough to be a challenge, simple enough to have fun. One thing that stands out I've noticed is the visual damage and crash modeling. Ranges from spectacular to frightening. Noticed the hand up when the pilot is dead in the cockpit? Scary. I am just into the 2nd mission of the campaign. I thought it clever how they worked in training into scenario. I was flying with the English cockpit but switched to French for the realism. Well done!
Jethro11 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Ya it’s a great ship. I enjoy it too, and keeps getting updated.
Rudel_chw Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 What I liked the most about the Mirage is the neat training missions and follow-on Campaign .. also the Definitive Manual was really good. Pity that currently there is only a single DLC Campaign for it ... I'd love to have another Campaign for the Mirage, set on the Persian Gulf.

shomke Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I am a bit biased because I'm french, but I must agree. Yet, I am really looking forward to put my hand one day on a M2000-5 and launch some fox-3 :joystick: !

vparez Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Mirage is my favorite as well and for the same reasons! Yes sure its still being worked on but i really appreciate an opportunity to get to know a plane other than Fs or MiGs with its own unique features!
paradox64 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Favorite for me too! As a pure interceptor, you can do only a few tasks with it but it's the best to fly with! ROG Maximus XI Hero / i9-9900k @5Ghz / 32Gb DDR4 @3200Mhz / Samsung 960 Pro M.2 / RTX2080ti / Vive Pro / ROG 3440x1440

I was flying with the English cockpit but switched to French for the realism. Well done! Yessss :thumbup: ! This could be my own words. and it transmits the most natural "feeling of flying" among the F-15/16 and FA-18, dispite its fly by wire (FBW) technology (Dassault was even the first company who indroduced FBW during an airshow in 1989 in a M2000) Why? Because it is less forgiving! Much of the steering really depends on the pilot, and it is not overcontrolled, unlike in the DCS F-16 and F/A-18 and how ED depicted these aircrafts FLCS's. If you don't care of your energy and how the aircraft responds to your imputs, it can be very very fast that "The Chasseur" is kissing the ground underneath your butt - and this can be really challenging and funmaking, what I like soooo much :D (unlike to the other DCS ingame FBW models, which are a lot more forgiving, if you - as the stick actor - put the wrong inputs). on the other hand it is a hell of a dogfighter, very very nimble, with the best nose authority currently in DCS. It gives me so much fun during dogfights, and it is not underpowered unlike the F-5 (which is even only a dayfighter). and because of its delta wing structure it can soar to highs savely, of which your opponents can only dream about. and besides all of this this aircraft is just a beauty :D. Only caveat for me: it doesn't offer an arc free canopy like the Viper's cockpit. I wish RAZBAM would come up with their Mirage Midlife Overhaul anytime soon, and I wish BalticDragon would like to create more of his special and awesome Mirage 2000 content/missions. All the best.

These are excellent news; your https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/products/campaigns/m-2000c_red_flag/ is still and by far my most favourite one. I assume that your clue and last listet point in the M-2000C Red Flag Campaigns feature list - Preparation for upcoming DCS campaigns in the Persian Gulf - links to your hint in your comment above ?! - this would be awesome !!! Cheers and all the best. Edited October 29, 2019 by NevSmith
toutenglisse Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Yes good news ! I've just bought the M2000c and Baltic Dragon's red flag Campaign so I've not started yet, but a mini Campaign in PG map sounds great ! I've just bought the module because good Rep, Razbam/AdA connection (converting french pilots use DCS's M2000c !), and ongoing work on the module, all this overcoming the fear that limited role would also limit the interest over for exemple F18c. I don't regret it's a superb module ! feels great to fly and operate it in all aspects. I now considerate it's a must have.
