Les Mirage F1CR

[lee1hy]

This aircraft template was very challenging, difficult lua and lack of references, but it's nearing done

This fighter uses ED`s PTAB fuel tanks, so Shark Art is not possible.

118-CG 642

Omg I'm so hyped ! I was waiting for you to make a livery for this plane since it's release ! 

[Loukuins]

Btw if you need reference pictures I can get some for you, aswell the default livery is not accurate at all, you can check I did a massive bug report with all the issues in the external model and textures

Sorry for delay,   

I'm finishing this because of the f-15e paint kit that suddenly came out

Check this, also check the sources I put at the end of the bug report, those is the main issues with the default skin, the sources I put have very nice walkaround to see how are the panels, I can link French F1s walkaround

Why so many error F1 

Looking at the actual Mirage f1 photos on the webs, it's a pity that a lot of details are missing 
Especially missing a lot of rivets and panels

Yeah that makes me sad because the F1 is a really good plane and looks magnificent in real life and how the 3D model is from Aerges is not the best, so I did a massive bug report to tell them all the issues I spotted, I didn't included everything, for me redoing the whole 3D model would be best with proper 3D scan (they said it's 3D scanned but there is way too much issues in the model to be 3D scanned)

Oh okay, I was looking forward for a good french livery :c 

Still looks great work tho

 

Also the livery you are making is a Mirage F1CT, CR uses an another type of under nose pod and can't use S530F

Just saw and photographed 5 of their jets on Friday. Three CR/CTs and 2 B-models. 
Glad you're doing them. 

[ST0RM]

N642AX has a grey dragon now. They're slowly being added to the jets.

On your screen the plane has the laser pod that's only on F1CT, CT only had all camo paint and not a grey belly like on CR and such.
I didn't checked in game yet that's all I saw on the screenshots, thanks for the work tho !

I just checked in the model viewer I will show of the issues i found : 

Here we san see two panels into each others
 

Here the colors of the "Corcarde" is not the same and not correct.

The belly should be a more lighter gray as you can see on this reference picture :

Also the "Bec" should be a shiny metal as you can see here : 

Also the fins below the engine at the back is not with the correct color and have a shiny metal surface on the front it : 

Also the engine texture are not the right colors :

Also the parachute cover is not the right color aswell :

 

 

Also in general, the colors of the camo are not that correct, the grey should be lighter and a bit blue-ish and and the green should be less grainy.

 

And finally the writings on the tail are too small compared to the real world : 

The engine intakes also have a shiny metal surface as you can see here :

Also the nose has not the right color and the letters are not with the right police : 

 

Tho great work and still better than the default textures, I will link the place where I got all of those pictures, you can see how normals and roughmet can be still improved with the sources I linked.
Thanks for your work and have a nice day!

1. The detail of the intake ring is very interesting it is not even in the official textures I will add this

2. Font will be fix !!!

3. color part is  later.

4. engine nozzle is not enough picture resolution, need a bigger resolution

Yeah a lot of details are missing from the official textures sadly.

thanks for taking in account of my feedback

Thanks for your commitment! 

[grim_reaper68]

Wonderful! Can't wait to add it to the other high res liveries.

Just a question about the screenshots made in DCS, how do you make them so realistic?

I can also give you a walkaround of a Mirage F1CR that has very close up pictures with decent resolution (They have a nice picture of the Engine nozzle)
