Aerges - Mirage F1 project update

We are happy to announce you the development of Mirage F1 by Aerges Engineering SL.

We can imagine your surprise for such news, but you shouldn’t be concerned, we have decided to work on Mirage F1 with Aerges instead of AvioDev for business reasons. Aerges Engineering is formed, mainly, by the same highly experienced Team components that have been developing the advanced version of the C-101. We are, basically, the same people. Some of the members have left and some are new, though they have already been working on C-101 for some time, but we keep the same core, the same or even more experience, know-how, enthusiasm and general technical knowledge. Furthermore, all the Team members are engineers and/or pilots.

All this means that you can expect to get a Mirage F1 module with same or even higher level of precision, quality, attention to detail and professionalism than our previous module, the C-101.

In this preview, we show you some screenshots of the Mirage F1-CE cockpit, with accurate and detailed 3D model and PBR textures, including some external AI models. And, in the coming weeks or months, we will continue presenting you screenshots and/or videos, as well as development news.

We have been working on advanced flight model, engine and main aircraft systems coding for a year and a half. We can say it is, basically, completed, and we now have to work on systems interaction with cockpit, clickable cockpit, and specific aircraft systems.

Our module is absolutely based on real data, that means that what you will get is the most accurate simulation that can be done of the real Mirage F1, with professional quality. What you will see is the real airplane with real data. Obviously, since what we use is real data, any real performance charts, like time to climb, energy-maneuverability, etc. will be fulfilled.

The versions we are working on are all the Spanish Air Force versions, since those are the ones we have real info for, that is, Mirage F1-CE, Mirage F1-EE, Mirage F1-BE and Mirage F1-M, though the latter will take longer to be finished as it includes new avionics, which require a huge amount of additional work. We estimate to have first version, Mirage F1-CE, ready in Early Access in about half a year. We would think about doing other countries versions if we get real data for them, but it’s not part of our main target right now.

For those of you who are not totally familiarized with this aircraft: The Mirage F1-CE is the basic single cockpit version, the Mirage F1-EE is the refuelling (multi-role) version, the Mirage F1-BE is the two seater and the Mirage F1-M is the modernized version with new avionics.

We present you our first video of the Mirage F1-CE as well as some screenshots. In this video, you can see the most up to date look of the Mirage F1-CE cockpit and external model, a short flight model exhibition and the interaction with some of the cockpit systems.
With this latest PBR textures and many improvements both on textures and on 3D model, we can now consider them ready for the first public display, and therefore, expend some time on specifics, next will be to work on a highly detailed pilot and helmet model.
Regarding flight model, we can say it is now close to its final state. You can see in the video some effects like wing bending due to high G forces. Wing torsion is also implemented; this causes a change in AoA throughout the wingspan, which affects roll moment. Once our experienced F1 test pilot provides us detailed feedback on the FM (still in progress), and we contrast it with our engineering data, we will consider it ready for an early access release.
Cockpit interaction with most of general aircraft systems, like engine, fuel, electrics, hydraulics, stability augmentation and autopilot, is nearly finished and we are working on avionics (navigation and radio equipment, weapons control, radar, displays, etc.).
Just to give you an idea of the deepness of the simulation we have currently a list of more than 80 possible system failures.
In summary, the project is advancing at a good pace, nearing its early access phase, we are happy with the results of our efforts to provide you with the most in-depth simulation of the Mirage F1.

It’s been a long time since our last update but, as some of you already know, we usually prefer to wait until we have something important to show.
 
We have been working hard improving the code and the 3D model, especially the landing gear, as you can see in the attached pictures (wheel well doors opened to show the interior). For us it’s very important to release the module in optimal condition from the beginning, even in Early Access, it should be as good as possible.
 
Regarding the landing gear, we improved the suspension, adapting real data to DCS, we reworked the animation, the 3D model and the textures, and we still keep working on the general behaviour of the gear interaction with the ground.
 
In parallel, we are working hard on avionics (radios, navigation and weapons) as well as sounds and lighting.
 
More news will follow soon.

Dear Friends,

We understand the current situation is difficult for many people, and we hope you all are safe in these uncertain times. Our thoughts are with all the people affected.

We are writing this message to let you know that we have sent our Mirage F1 module to ED for internal testing. Also, please notice the attached basic video with a couple of spin maneuvers to demonstrate some of the flight model capabilities. We are working to provide you with more F1 related content in the coming weeks to prepare for the release of the module.

 

Bye

Mirage F1 Development Report

After the Early Access release of the Mirage F1, the immediate focus of the Aerges Engineering team will be on completing the remaining Mirage F1 CE work-in-progress systems. In particular, several radar scan modes, the radio navigation modes of the autopilot, and the implementation of the S530F ‘Supermatra’ missile.

Thereafter, work will continue on the other variants of the Mirage F1, starting with the Mirage F1 EE. Once air-to-air refueling is completed, the inertial navigation system (INS), and the new RWR will be delivered and the EE will be ready for release. The rear cockpit and multiplayer interaction of the F1 BE will be the following task. The final step will be the Mirage F1 M radar, screens, armament, and radios.
