As others have said, manual and Chuck's guide are your friends.

As for what I wish I had known as a brand-new Mirage pilot? The main thing is to have realistic expectations for what the plane can accomplish. It's a very good DCS module by this point, but it hasn't had the sorts of weapons and sensor upgrades of the DCS F/A-18 or F-16 (just like the IRL Mirage 2000C hasn't had these sorts of upgrades). You're limited to only four A-A missiles, and only SARH and IR missiles with average ranges. As for ground ordnance, you have only unguided munitions except for LGBs that need a different platform to lase for you.

Quite simply, it's not as capable as the F-16 or F/A-18 (or JF-17), but as long as you remember that, work within its limitations, and don't try to make it do things it can't do, you'll have a lot of fun. It's a great airplane to fly, and when you pull off difficult tasks in it, it feels very rewarding.

Good, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks
