You are setting a very high bar for tutorials. Loved the split screen with the highlighted stations, it really helps with visualizing what everything means. Looks like a great module!
The first release of a cold war aircraft in a long time! I hope it will introduce more people to the age before MFDs and we'll see many more over the coming years.
Awesome job! The module looks very good! I love the fact that we are getting more cold war 60/70's era airplanes, DCS really shines in that era, lots of declassified machines with huge performance and a great mix of modern and old when it comes to flying as well as weapon delivery and navigation!
Wow now this is what a call a tutorial... Very professional, love that you highlighted in a preview what bombs and weapons are selected as you play around with the switches, makes it soooo much easier to understand when you have this visual reference. Top notch content! subbed!
I just love the attention to detail that you have on your Tutorials, the controls & weapons highlights are superbly done, thanks a lot for doing this video Series, can't wait to have this aircraft released :)
Same. Tons of Il-2, FB, AEP, PF and 46 experience as background, I'm so much better at that than with the tables, I don't even care about the latter like at all.
Instead of setting the altitude in the QNH and doing that math, you can just take your drop altitude and add target altitude. ie if drop altitude is 4000ft, and target altitude is 2456 as shown, your new drop altitude MSL is 6456 (round, obviously, so 6500). IMO its easier to do this without having to dial in QNH, as you can just use some "quik mafs" and be close enough without dialing. Ideally I'd like to have a piece of masking tape, a sticky note, or a grease pencil to mark the altimeter.
Oh just had my first flight amd I'm more of less in love with the thing. Got a good grasp of the flight characteristics and basic ground attack. Guessed everything for the landing but it survived in one piece. It's so fast too.
Looks like a terrific point and shoot platform, I prefer to learn it just from feel like the Mig-21 when it comes to diving with rockets/guns but thanks for the technical approach. Them double cannons look amazing!
I know my F/A-18C is getting uninstalled to make room for this one. The Mirage F-1 will be my go to attack aircraft and just fun fighter. I love the design of Mirages and man this and the Jaguar are some of the hottest things from that era.
Top notch tutorial again! BTW, no need to do the maths. Just substract the base altitude difference. Target is 300ft higher than your homeplate? Just crank the thing down by 300ft. Both methods however would be inaccurate in case of pressure differences that we still don't have in DCS with the new clouds.
I got the F1 and I am absolutely happy. It comes with checklists in the cockpit Shift-k kneeboard right from the start. Excellent for a casual player like me! Most modules dont even have that. I know there are ways to build your own kneeboards or download and integrate them but I admit I am too lazy to do that. Great value added for very little extra cost for the developer, this should be standard for DCS! Regarding strafing especially, am having issues keeping her stable and lining up properly. Very twitchy beast. I realize this is how its supposed to be, good trim and awareness of all parameters are a must. No point in trying a run if its not perfect, better go around. Quite challenging. I am also having issues with the 530 IR missile. Cant get a lock. Flying behind Il-76 targets, radar lock but cant get it off the rail.
The RPM limiter for the gun is a pretty cool detail. Did Aerges actually model the effects of gun gases being sucked into the engine, or is it purely aesthetic?
I was really hoping the gyro gunsight would work a bit like the one in the C101 where the crosshair covering a set distance would be the correct slant distance to hit the target because the gyro takes into account your speed and dive angle. I really like ground pounding but much like the F-5, this is going to be really, really hard to do properly.
Are those 36 rocket launchers placehoders or will they come with F1? I tried to do some research if they exist, but I only found info that Royal Navy used those type of rocket pods and they never had F1.
Only thing I found about them is they are called "Matra LRF1 rocket pod" or "Matra F1 36-tube rocket launcher" couldn't find photos of them, only renders for a Strike Fighters mod and a Mirage 2000 loadout schematic from a book, I guess they weren't as common as the 18 tube SNEB launcher.
Technically the M2000 can, it's just computationally limited to 3 or 2? weapon unique types if i recall correctly. As for the F1. Yes you could carry 2 heaters 1 SARH and some bombs or rockets if you fancy.
@@stefansaveda2449 he says it doesn't have a radio altimeter, hence the QFE settings. There is also french labels cleanly shown in the video alongside the English parts. Unsure if this is just abbreviations of french words or an actual English cockpit in progress.
Are the other versions as far along? Because I am thinking of using this to get people into dcs with the trainer BE then build them up to solo flights then start throwing them into chaos that is multiple ships in formation.
Where those bombs you dropped "AN" series? They didn't look like FAB or MK series. Well thanks for video Redkite, I'm looking forward to the F1. On a side note, there is a "F111" pod in the equipment section of supplies for airfields now. Any thoughts on that?
These were SAMP-250's You can also drop BR-250 or 500s, Gbu-10s/12s and Mk82s. I wouldn't read too much into the F111 pod until ED start talking about these things.
@@RedKiteRender I figured out the Pave Tac Pod. The Korean Air Force Uses the pod on their F4 phantoms. So I assume ED put it in for when the F4 comes out and for use in internal and beta testing of the F4 phantom. So, there you go, we figured it out.
Hi there ! Very interesting tutorial, thanks a lot. But I must have missed something on the QNH/QFE stuff. I mean, everything you explain is only valid if the QNH that day is indeed 1013. Might be worth mentionning that you have to use the actual QNH, and not blindly put 1013
Back when you actually had to *fly* the jet. I love technology, the Viper and Hornet (and Strike Eagle) are going to be the premier precision engagement aircraft in DCS but it's the older aircraft (the Tomcat, the Mirage F1, the F-5, the F-4 and all the other 'Cold War era' aircraft) that actually make you a better ground-attack sim-pilot - no CCIP just angles, speed and altitude. Mirage F1 is looking amazing, I cannot wait to get stuck into it. Although, by the looks of things, there's going to be plenty for me to sink my teeth into very shortly. And I like it.
Really hoping they'll improve the splash damage further so that you can actually destroy things without pinpoint accuracy. Dumb bombing often feels like a fool's errand these days when you need direct hits to actually cause damage. That said I have seen some signs of improvements, especially when it comes to taking out infantry from quite far away.
The funny thing is that Soviets fighters like MiG-21Bis has the automatic slant ranging for you, partially. Example in MiG-21Bis the radar is used to measure the slant range and give you the proper CCIP pipper for guns and rockets, but not for the bombs... The bombs are dropped still by using the release table. Why? Because the radar can't gimbal low enough or calculate a CCRP to be able release bombs properly. With the MiG-23 (1968-1970, the Mirage F1 CE that is first we get is from 1974 (the F1C is from 1973)) has the full deal as it even has the INS, that was added to F1 only on next variant after CE). There is as well interesting reason why Soviets put for ground attack planes the laser range finders, like Su-25A from 1975-1979, and Su-17/Su-22 from 1970, MiG-27 1975 etc. Having a laser range finder and designator made possible to get very accurate slant range measurement and so on weapon delivery with INS. Having a re-attack capability by navigation computer remembering the attack/measurement point and guide pilot back to it for re-attack. But when in planes like MiG-27 and Su-24 you got the TV targeting added, it made possible engage targets from further distance than visually spotting target and area. So laser guided missiles became even more capable as it was now over 3-5 km ranges to release weapons. This is as well achilles heel in DCS, that AGM-65 Maverick is way too long range weapon, where it should be more closely used from 2-3 km ranges instead current 10-15 km as the TV/IR seeker is not capable to lock on tank size target further than about 1.5-3 km range and to large bridge size target from about 5-7 km. Why the laser guided maverick is the most used as you can really get that 5-10 km lock-on capability if JTAC is very close to the target and weather is proper etc. And that is why Soviets favored missiles with RF guidance like Shturm / Ataka in helicopters, but same time as well the Vikhr is superior is you get really that excellent 8-12 km performance from it when combining to 7/24x Shkval depending your release speed and altitude. At the moment most of these cold war era weapons are too capable in DCS, and should have much shorter ranges to be used. Why JDAM is preferred as you really can stay far away from target as GBU-12 should require to overfly the target and get bomb seeing the laser spot, that JTAC needs to have properly painting. As currently the laser spot is unrealistically visible to every direction (omnidirectional) regardless the seeker angle to it. As best angle is between 30 and 60 degrees from the designator.
It's a Spanish cockpit! No word as to if we'll see a dedicated French or English cockpit at a later date from the devs, but you can bet the community will make one sooner or later.
You really got to wonder why the Ruskies designed the Mig-21 Bis with radar ranging and the French did not. French engineering is really quite excellent with a better balance between simplicity and function than even the Germans at times tendency toward over complexity. This would of take much of the guess work out of air to ground ranging and the purpose of the whole other half of weaponized radar in the 1st place.
Just for info, nobody does that kind of math IRL with mbs and so on. You just take your target altitude, and add it to the release height, and that's it, that's your release altitude...
Just for info i had feedback specifically from SME (Real F1ce pilot, subject matter expert) and another qualified pilot moderate / vet this video prior, and this was the recommended method. By all means there are shortcut methods, but they wanted to go 'by the book' as it were for the video.
@@RedKiteRender let's admit that true for some air forces. I've had first hand experience with French F1CR and CT pilots and we always made it the simple way. One reason was because it was mainly not pre planned targets, therefore no way to have the local QNH beforehand. Other reason, target altitude was pretty high in general, and the 30ft/mb rule didn't apply that well. But I understand your concept, that's certainly a good one for preplanned targets.
Speaking specifically on the DCS front, QNH is global at the moment, pending atmospherics improvements, so it'll work better than real life! There's a few other methods for release altitude employed by dcs players too, particularity if you talk with the DCS Viggen crowd.
Ouch, no CCIP or help of any kind? That's tough I like mu modern planes, thank you very much XD Not bashing! These older modules are interesting in their own way! Just saying I'm more of a digitalized plane guy XD Anyway, amazing tutorial, I appreciate the effort!
I can't say for certain, but I'm betting the more modern variants of the F1 will have CCIP. (If anyone more knowledgable on F1 variants can answer that?)

Any tips on how to know when to start diving towards the target to achieve the correct dive angle?
Hi! At 3:21 and 5:40 it seems that gyro reticle is 'free to move' (and not fixed) even when bombs and rockets are selected. Why is mine fixed?

Day 1 purchase!
Thank you for the mathsss I needed that. Now i can put the equation on my kneeboards.
Where can i get the manual that you have featured
The manual that is avail in DCS website has no tables about mk82 and such
Where are the depression tables for the Mk 80s series and GBUs? In the manual, I only see depression tables for the French bombs.
The RPM limiter for the gun is a pretty cool detail. Did Aerges actually model the effects of gun gases being sucked into the engine, or is it purely aesthetic?

Que lindo avion, que lindo modulo les está quedando! Felicitaciones y mucha suerte en su salida🤟🤞
how did you use the gyro sight? its always fixed for me
*Arnold Scream* IM HERE, RELEASE IT NOW! DO IT NOW!
So, we won't see AS-30 Nord / AS-37 Martel and Exocets?
Those aren't rockets or dumb bombs so I wouldn't rule that out.
The aircraft in cause is a pure interceptor. One should wait for the F-1EE version to have decent air-to-ground radar modes.
I like the old-school ground attack methods so I'll be having a lot of fun with the CE.
I was really hoping the gyro gunsight would work a bit like the one in the C101 where the crosshair covering a set distance would be the correct slant distance to hit the target because the gyro takes into account your speed and dive angle.
I really like ground pounding but much like the F-5, this is going to be really, really hard to do properly.
At least the later versions should provide a better gunsight from my understanding
When doing the math for the altimeter I find in Nevada it doesn't wind down low enough, or am I missing something?
You'll have to add altitude on and calculate a difference instead. I'd try and get a round number for the release altitude to make reading it easier.
