Any news on the Mirage F1M?

[Spirale]

Great!! The M version will add great abilities to this wonderfull plane

You Aerges are doing an amazing and serious work: Thx!

Will the availability of GPS speed up INS alignment and make INS fixes obsolete or will it enable additional navigation options (maybe even something map-based)?

Is it known for which purposes the MFD can be used? Will it have other uses besides radar display and weapon station management?

I have no idea, it depends on how it was implemented, I heard it was made by the same people who upgraded the KFIR and such

Hoped to see the M still in 2024. Glad to at least have some news to break the silence.

Is a Q1 2025 a realistic M release or is it much further away? 
 

Will also insta buy the F104 but that seems a distant release.

The 3D model overall is already done so I would say yeah end of Q1 2025 and not before sadly. :c

I'm hoping it will be featured in a nearly finished state in the 2025 and beyond video. If not, I fear it may still be far far away.
In the very recent Aerges update, she still seemed to be in a rough state, even in the texture department.

No, the dev said they are in the coding phase with the cockpit done

is there a link to their discord?

There is no official discord from Aerges, some Devs are on the most popular ones for the DCS Mirage F1

[Mainstay]

Well let’s hope it’s sooner then later 

[Mainstay]

Are we looking at an 2025 release? or even further away..

[Warmbrak]

Very much looking forward to the M - probably my most anticipated release at this stage.

I’d love to see some screenshots…..any sneak previews available?

Devs said they will show it when they will feel confident to show it, and I quote "In summary, it will be ready when it's ready and shown when we deem it worth to show but good progress is being made"

Dont let this person set you back. Your a customer and you can ask whenever you want

I really prefer this approach instead of ED's habit of hyping things to the moon and back -even to the point of borderline misleading about features and quality- and then blaming players for having unrealistic expectations.

Aerges have a history of providing. Let's have some patience, it's going to be awesome.

Sorry if it felt aggressive it wasn't and they just take the time it needs to work and make those stuff right, also they are working on making the Mirage F1 code more usable and future proof it to use it on the F-104 and F1M.

Also you can of course ask for it, it's fine

[ChrisG73]

No probs Loukuins, I do agree with you, I always felt it best to release it when its fully ready and just drop it, instead of building up a hype around a release date. Just really looking forward to the Mirage F1M, it will definitely be a superb module.

[fausete]

Hi!

Of course you're welcome to ask.

First of all let me explain the no specific dates or timetables until things are clear policy: we think it's common in DCS to miss deadlines, which understandably leads to frustration on the customer side. This is not uncommon for software development, even more so for small teams working on complex systems like is the case in DCS. Unpredictable things like team member illnesses, difficulty with implementation of a specific system in DCS, difficult to solve bugs or performance issues can significantly delay a release when working in small, highly specialised teams.

Regarding code development, we're currently working on 3 main aspects: F1 radar physics overhaul, F1M menu logic and base input and clickability code overhaul (which is almost complete now). This last part won't be visible to the user but will help a smoother and buggless implementation of the F1M and F-104 input logics. On the 'art' side of things, the F1M cockpit is receiving an overhaul and work.

Hope this helps complete the information already provided by @Loukuins

Thanks for the update!

The F1M is my most anticipated plane in DCS, and all of flight simulation right now, just to put it out there.

[Gladius]

Yes, you said it. I'm also waiting for it with great anticipation. It will definitely be great, I have a lot of faith in Aerges

YES! The F1 is just such a great plane. Really well done.

Hello there,

Is there any April news/updates on the F1M?

Friend of mine was about to purchase de M2000C to join me but, well you know...

I mainly fly M2k, F1 and sometimes A10 or 16 but I'm really looking forward to have something a little more modern so is my friend (he's not into CW) when it comes to the F1.

Are they planning on releasing the 104 1st and then get back to the F1M? Should we expect it soon, late 25, next year? 

Not discussing the "better late and ready than early and incomplete" just trying to understand where they are and what we could expect in the near future Q2 Q3.
