Mirage F1 project update

[Mike Force Team]

Yes, we want the F-1. We want it now. We want to use our exocet missles to sink the bad guys' ships.

You're going to be waiting quite a long while then. The only variant of the 4 they are making that even had Exocet capability is the F1M, which is the last variant they are doing and the one that will take quite a bit longer due to the various newer technologies in it as opposed to the other 3 variants.

I'm as exited to get my hands on F1 as anyone in this thread, but c'mon, guys, let's be patient. Let them finish and one day we will get the F1.

The R530 missiles radar guidance and infrared guidance are modeled in the DCS version 2.7.12.23362 :

Hey guys

I like the bit where he asks if it's two more weeks and gets slapped in the face

That made me smile, too.

Am I the only one who's getting a raise in pulse when I see new posts in this thread?

as Jack's son would say .... No you're not alone !!!
it is true that many of us on this forum are looking for any information... hoping to know when this bird will finally be available in DCS

Not to "well akshually", but well, actually the F1M did not have the capability to launch Exocet missiles. The upgraded IVM radar had a sea search mode, but none of the necessary modifications were made to the airframe for actually using them. And Spain never bought Exocets or intended to use them for the F1 considering they were already operating F-18s for a number of years by the time the M came around. The only F1 variant actually capable of using Exocet missiles that I know of are Iraqi EQs. Maybe the fancy Ecuadorian ones can now but idk much about those.

We have modules that are older than 5 years which still has bugs.

To be fair... several airforces are operating real jets that are older than 5 years and still have bugs that haven't been worked out.

I said "capability" not that they actually did.

Yeah I'm aware. Just talking about IRL capabilities. If they add it to the module it's a "what if" thing. Which is fine I guess. I'm not into that but we're probably not going to get an EQ any time soon. Hopefully it's a little more imaginative than the Sea Eagle if they decide to do that

Im getting a little worried that everything F1 related has gone so quiet.

[Bremspropeller]

I agree, it's worrying

[turkeydriver]

Perhaps they got permission to add things and they want them in the release.  I don’t know but an update from Aerges is long overdue.

[potatoman530]

Next update will probably be a red kite video on air to ground or air to air 

[turkeydriver]

It’s gotta be a focus on the radar display and it’s causing some trouble.  Everything was ramping up smoothly then silence
