• Reduced aoa at which the first stall effects appear.
• Induced drag now does not take horizontal stabiliser downforce into account.
• Increased flap efficiency.
• Reduced induced drag near transonic speeds.

• Adjusted compressor stall behaviour (corrects the multiplayer problem caused by wake turbulence).
• Restored force feedback.
• Adjusted the strength and velocity of the anti-slip system.
• Engine starter damage is now repaired.
• Solved problem with aircraft oscillation on the ground with wind.

Weapons:

• AIM-9B, -9J, -9P missiles now have a specific “growl” sound.
• Fixed a bug in audio volume control of some AIM-9 versions.

Optical Sight and radar:

• Implemented Optical Sight target range display (except gun 600 m fixed range option) on the heading/range scale.

It works as follows:

Gun:

• 300 m with no radar lock
• target locked and the range > 3.5 km → range in NM
• target locked and the range < 3.5 km → range in hectometers

Missile:

• radar strobe position in NM with no radar lock (34 NM max)
• target locked and the range > 3.5 km → range in NM
• target locked and the range < 3.5 km → range in hectometers

• The gunsight target range is fed now by the radar tracked target range (GYRO-ANT switch is still WIP, i.e. the gunsight always operates in GYRO mode).
• The heading/range scale now displays a fixed 600 m range when the “Cannon 300/600” button is kept pressed, and there is no target tracked by the radar.
• The “(C + M or SW) R” button now switches the Optical Sight to “A/A cannon” mode with short range missiles status displayed.
• The gunsight reticle diameter is now set to 20 mrd, when the radar tracks a target. The “Cannon 300/600” button reverts it to 40 mrd diameter, while kept pressed.
• The A/G sight is now a fixed depression sight. The selected manual depression doesn't affect A/A gunsight anymore.
• Adjusted gyro (A/A) gunsight dampening constant.
• Implemented Optical Sight time/velocity scale display logic:
• when no radar lock → the scale is hidden (V symbol is in view)
• with A/A gun selected → target relative velocity
• with R550/SW missile selected and in (C + M or SW) R mode → target aspect angle
• with R530 missile selected → missile flight time (time computation logic is WIP)
• Target range provided by the radar to the gunsight is limited to 300-1600 m.
• Gyro gunsight now accounts for the target range rate. The rate is set to 0 when the target is outside of the 300-1600 m range window.
• Radar is now correctly initialised to search mode, according to cockpit switches positions, if its power switch was cycled OFF and ON while tracking a target.

3D model:

• Updated 3D model for those users who wish to make their own livery textures: Added custom arguments for parts of each Mirage F1 version. (Arguments 985 to 993 defined in description.lua. Check also Model Viewer).
