DCS: Mirage F1 by Aerges

Recommended Posts

After years of work and dedication, the whole Aerges Engineering Team is happy to announce that our DCS: Mirage F1 module will be released in Early Access on the 20th of this month.

This is our full Development Report:

The Aerges Engineering Team is pleased to introduce the DCS: Mirage F1. The Mirage F1 is a legendary single engine French fighter jet from the Cold War era. It has had an illustrious career serving with the air forces of France, Spain, Greece, Iraq and many other countries and has taken part in multiple conflicts.

From its original role as an all-weather interceptor, it has evolved with multiple versions into a capable multirole platform.

The DCS: Mirage F1 will allow virtual pilots to accurately experience the feeling of flying a 1970s third generation aircraft. This is a particularly interesting aircraft, as it is equipped with a more sophisticated flight control system and navigation suite. However, it lacks any screens or computer assistance and has to be flown carefully and with skill.

Early Access features:

In the release into Early Access, the Mirage F1 CE will be available in an almost complete state. As development continues, the other Mirage F1 planned models (EE, BE and M) will be added. Some of the most relevant features available at the release date are:

  • Professional Flight Model (PFM) based on performance and engineering data of the real aircraft. Situations of high angle of attack and outside the flight envelope like stalls and spins are also accurately represented.
  • Extensive and detailed simulation of all flight systems:
    • Flight control system, both in its normal electro-hydraulic mode and in degraded modes.
    • SNECMA Atar 9K-50 engine including working envelope, damage, compressor stalls, flameouts and emergency modes.
    • Cyrano IV-M radar, a unique Cold War era radar in DCS.
    • Electric system.
    • Hydraulic system.
    • Fuel system.
    • Navigation suite: Navigation Indicator (IDN), TACAN, VOR.
    • Radios: TRAP 136 and TRAP 137B.
    • Electromechanical 1970s era Thomson optical sight (a predecessor of present-day HUDs).
    • Integrated ALE-40 countermeasure suite.
    • Internal and external lighting.
    • Armament system.
    • RWR.

 

  • Extremely high-quality 3D model, based on blueprints and laser scanning of a real Mirage F1. Includes animations, lights and a damage model.
  • Very accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) cockpit with realistic and detailed instruments and controls.
  • Variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, some of them not seen before in DCS:
    • Short range IR missiles: MATRA R550 Magic I, AIM-9 J, AIM-9 JULI, AIM-9 B.
    • Medium range missiles: MATRA R530 IR and EM.
    • Rocket launchers: MATRA F1 and F4.
    • Antirunway Durandal and cluster Belouga bombs.
    • SAMP family of bombs (both free fall and parachute equipped)
    • Laser guided GBU-10, GBU-12 and GBU-16.
    • Other American and Spanish made bombs.

 

  • Sound modelling based on recordings from the real aircraft.
  • Extremely realistic flyable simulation of the Mirage F1 CE, EE, BE and M models. The EE, BE and M will be released after the initial release of the CE.
  • AI models for most other variants of the Mirage F1: C, CT, CR, EQ, EDA…
  • A vast variety of liveries for the different countries that operated the aircraft.
  • Interactive training and practice missions that will help you gain proficiency in the F1.
  • PDF user manual that will give you pilot level understanding of all the systems in the aircraft.


Next steps in the development:

The immediate focus of the Team is the completion of the remaining WIP systems in the Mirage F1 CE. In particular; some scan modes of the radar, the radionavigation modes of the autopilot and the implementation of the S530F ‘Supermatra’ missile.

After that, work will continue on the other variants of the aircraft, starting with the Mirage F1 EE. When air-to-air refuelling, the inertial navigation system (INS) and the new RWR are completed, the EE will be ready for release.

The rear cockpit and multiplayer interaction of the F1 BE will be the following task. Finally, the new systems (radar, screens, armament, radios) for the F1 M will complete the development of the DCS: Mirage F1 module.

DCS: Mirage F1 Early Access

After more than three years of active development, the DCS: Mirage F1 is now available in Early Access. Aerges Engineering is very excited to bring you this new module and we are sure that it will provide you endless entertainment.

The Mirage F1 is an iconic French fighter from the Cold War era. The module offers the unique experience of flying this powerful 1970s Western aircraft in DCS. Although this aircraft is equipped with piloting aids it requires a skilful hand to fly accurately and maximise its capabilities.

As an all-weather interceptor, the Mirage F1 is equipped with the Cyrano IV-M radar, multiple air and ground modes, and a variety of heat-seeking and radar-guided air-to-air missiles including the AIM-9J, MATRA R550, and MATRA R530. The Mirage F1 is also a capable air-to-ground platform that can be equipped with a large variety of unguided bombs and rockets.

a questo ho ceduto, mi risulta sempre difficile evitare di premere "COMPRA" con aerei dei tempi della guerra fredda.
bello da vedere (come quasi tutti i caccia dassault), difficile da portare forse quasi troppo e pochi marchingegni da sysadmin-volante, anzi, nessun marchingegno da sysadmin-volante.

Technicians are working hard and hangar doors are getting opened for a shining Mirage F1 EE.
 
This Mirage F1 EE will bring many presents:
 
- Inertial Navigation System
- Aerial Refueling System
- A new RWR AN/ALR-300
- A new Navigation Indicator (IDN)
 
The new module will come as well with the S530F Supermatra A2A missile, available for the different Mirage F1 versions.
The release will also include a control system rework and extensive changes in the engine simulation, as well as many other improvements.
 
Stay tuned!
 
Merry Christmas to you all dear friends!

Mirage F1 EE Development Report

The Aerges team is delighted to present the DCS: Mirage F1 EE, the aerial refueling capable version of the Spanish Air Force. This version also brings desirable capabilities such as the inertial navigation system and the new ALR-300 RWR, which includes a display, threat priority and specific threat warnings. The capability to equip the old RWR remains. The Mirage F1 EE (as well as the BE and M) is a core part of the DCS: Mirage F1 module, so no additional purchase is required to fly it.

Many other improvements are also available in the latest Mirage F1 update. One of the main focuses has been on polishing the pitch control and flight model, increasing the pitch up range, and adjusting drag values. The engine stall and the throttle controls have also been partially reworked. The radar has also seen multiple fixes such as elevation control, TL scan pattern, and target lock stability in 1-line scan mode. Finally, the S530F radar missile has been added. This weapon, which was extremely advanced for the era, is one of many other enhancements to this superb module.

Aerges will continue to work over the coming months to add even more improvements to the FM, radar, and RWR. They are also developing the BE and M versions which we hope will be available in the not too distant future.
