Long time ago (+10 years even) there was a guy in check-six forums, apparently Thales engineer or something, who programmed a free Rafale flight simulator that you could download. At some point it got quite interesting, when he started implementing the avionics, but quickly the project and the guy just vanished. I think I should have a copy somewhere, in one of my backup HDDs. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it's going to happen again https://web.archive.org/web/20060220044801/http://rafale-f2.france-simulation.com/ this one? 1

I’ve quite a lot of back and forth with wen RBE2 got certain features for example. so I tend to just lean conservative on this unless I see otherwise. 1

You trolling? Mirage 2000C is just getting retired nowadays afaik, and no, it didn't even get much in the way of updates from what we have in sim. So it's modern. You trolling? 1 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script

MiG 31 (first flight 1975) is not retired yet it is a cold war fighter... so is Mirage 2000C (around 1983), cold war ended in 91'. see when a troll starts something like this, the discussion starts drifting like it just did... so pls stop it. This topic is about Rafale anyway. Edited July 20, 2022 by Furiz

You trolling? No, I am not trolling. I am just stating a preference. The Mystere and super Mystere would be great for the MiG-15 , 19 and if we get it the 17. The Mirage III, F1 and 5 are good opfor for the F-4, MiG-21, 23, and F-14. The Super Entendard would be great for a falklands campaign. I never said no the the rafale especially if it includes some French naval assets like the DeGaul carrier strike group 1

This topic is about Rafale anyway. I don't want to get into a discussion of what is and isn't modern, I just wanted to state my answer to the poll was Yes, but I'd prefer older aircraft. I don't see how that is trolling, I just see it as stating a preference though more AC will always be better even if they are just AI. Edited July 20, 2022 by upyr1 2
Furiz Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Ok, thanks for your insight On 7/20/2022 at 4:38 PM, F-2 said: I’ve quite a lot of back and forth with wen RBE2 got certain features for example. so I tend to just lean conservative on this unless I see otherwise. Yes it seems they are trying to figure out the timeline of upgrades. Interesting to see F2 could carry 5 tanks, and that even F1 had buddy refuel capability if I understood correctly.

In France it was also used till the mid-late 70s, when they were replaced by F1Cs in 12EC. And in Honduras (former IDF aircraft with the J52 engine mod/ extended tailpipes) they soldiered on untill the mid 90s. The Mystere IV was used in the Suez Crisis and during the SDW. India also used their Mystere IV against Pakistan. Either one would be a first day buy with a slight preference for the SMB2. Same for the M III and M5. And for the Rafale - I'd prefer it to be the M. So where do I get in line to queue up for those modules? Edited November 12, 2022 by Bremspropeller 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!

Furiz Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Yeah I agree, so far only Mirage 2000C. Would be great if we could have Rafale M, so we have another country carrier fighter in modern era apart from US Hornet and Harrier (SU-33 but it is not full fidelity). 1

IR.Clutch Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 There are no public documents on Rafale, so there is no hope. I would also like to see Rafale in DCS.

I mean "Dassault Aviation" manuals, flight characteristics, systems etc. Might be enough for an F1. Raz never had a mirage 2000 RDI manual the French Air Force saw some potential and supported it. If you can build something to interest a Rafale customer you might be in buisness. I have some docs on how the RBE2 antenna works. While the signal processor is the same as the RDY and the rest of the components are a mix of RDY and mirage 2000D.

Not that simple, sadly. Unless Dassault wants to play ball, it's a no-go. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
