Mirage F1

As in any other module in DCS, with zoom out, a bit of distortion comes and what you see is not 100% accurate.

F1 cockpit is narrow compared for example with a C-101 Cockpit.

In any case any comment is welcome and can be helpful for us.

Can EE version carry and designate any smart munitions?

 

AS-30L, LGB, Exocet, etc?

GBU with external designation.

Thanks for reply JuanOscar! Consider posting the screenshots with a more human like view. Ingame I find the 90-95° FOV to be the one that produces less distortion, lets as much of the cockpit to be seen, includes a bit of sky for peripheral view also.

If you don't consider it is ready to be shot from other points of view is OK but if possible you can manually place the camera somewhere around a shoulder of the virtual pilot an take the shot diagonally. It's a "fresh" perspective but natural and includes a lot of details.

As for cockpit being narrow, even if it is... having half of the screen (25% on each side) of blank uninteresting sky is not helping (think of every shot as being part of the marketing). But from the picture I've seen the cockpit looks "normal" just the windshield is a bit more elongated than usually maybe.

Anyway... Bf109 cockpit is clearly narrower and looks different in DCS shots than F1.

juanoscar... are you a cat? :D

The F1 is looking real good so far!!! But couple of questions..... How manuveurable is this jet compared to one's we have now?? Can it out turn the F 15 or SU 27 in DCS?? Also any idea of a time frame we can expect to see this jet released?

Not a hope in hell of that, it's just as much of an attacker as a fighter. It was also designed in the 60s when the aerospace industry was feeling the need, the need... for speed. If I had to compare it kinematically to another jet in DCS it would probably be the MiG-21.

Well its more maneuverable then the Mig-21 =P.

The mig-21 was comparable with the Mirage III.

and the F1 is significantly more maneuverable then the Mirage III.

But yea the F1 is not super maneuverable aircraft when it comes to dogfighting.

And when fighting a F-15 or Su-27 you would have to use tactics as you cant outperform them in vertical or horizontal maneuvering.

The Closest soviet counterpart to the F1 would be a Mig-23ML or MLD.

(though they are not flyable in dcs yet).

Its not unmaneuverable but in a prolonged fight with a Su-27,F-15,Mig-29 or F-16 it would suffer due to a lower Thrust/weight ratio.

fully agree!

For me they look the same. They is a clearly, little bit more of FOV in the Aviodev pic, but it is definitively narrow.

That first picture is not a Mirage F1 though.

Thats a mirage III cockpit.

Either way, the screenshot by Aviodev is super zoomed out, thus distorting the view heavily. I recommend future screenshots be done in a more standard 75-90 degree FoV. That should avoid distortion and give us a good idea of what it actually looks like. :)

The 3d geometry of the cockpit model is probably right, it's obviously a problem of the choosen view.

To say the truth, I've never understood people showing their creations or making screenshots with unnatural focal settings making for instance the aircrafts looking like flying bananas.

Calm down a bit, please! The view is a bit odd but common, it's just a zoom out distortion... This way we can see a lot of thing in this cockpit. And it's a new aircraft coming to DCS so stop complaining.

For me any eye candy is well appreciated. It is wip and I do not care about the FOV yet, please send us more!! :pilotfly:

From Aviodevs Facebook if you have not seen it already.

It looks amazing =>.

That model is really beautiful and i cant wait for this baby =>

wwwwowwww :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Looks really neat! Can't wait to fly this bird :joystick:

Yep, I'm in! I'll take the Mirage F1 and I'm planning to get the C-101 when it gets a final flight model.

:thumbup:

How is progress going with this module? Some new photos or some news would be welcome... :)

???

I just saw the new model on FB, are we getting a flyable twin seat option? Very nice if so...

Aviodev rebuild from the scrach the Mirage F-1 3D model.

https://www.facebook.com/Aviodev/?fref=photo

After release the last picture of our F1EE, we realized we were not happy with the 3D model.That model was started years ago and had some problems from the beginning, making to reverse the situation very complicated. So we take a long breath and we decided to throw the model to the bin, and start from the scratch. That means a lot of hours wasted, but C-101 and Mirage F1 are very special aircrafts for us and we just didn't wanted to continue a way where we won't feel comfortable. So the modeller has been working hard the last weeks starting with new F1EE and F1BE.

 

Now we can say with no doubt, it's the best decision we could be take. Still very WIP but a big step forward.

---------------------------------------

Después de publicar la última imagen del F1EE, nos dimos cuenta de que no estábamos contentos con el modelo 3D. El modelo fue empezado hace años, y tenía problemas de nacimiento que hacía muy complicado el revertir la situación. Así que respiramos hondo y decidimos tirar el modelo a la papelera, y comenzar desde cero. Esto significa muchas horas perdidas, pero el C-101 y Mirage F1 son aviones muy especiales para nosotros y simplemente no queríamos continuar un camino en el que no nos hubiéramos sentido cómodos. Así que el modelador ha estado trabajando duro estas últimas semanas empezando un nuevo F1EE y F1BE.

 

Ahora podemos decir sin lugar a duda que es la mejor decisión que podíamos haber tomado. Todavía falta camino y horas para terminar el modelo, pero es un gran paso adelante para nosotros.
