DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

TRAP 136 (‘Green’) and TRAP 137B (‘Red’) radios fixes:

  • TRAP-136 radio (‘Green’). Fixed inoperative radio at cold cockpit up, when the frequency was selected before the radio was powered on.
  • TRAP-136 radio (‘Green’). Selection of the Frequency mode selector 'G' position will not enable the guard receiver anymore. Use 'Pal+G' Function selector position to enable the guard receiver.
  • Fixed both 'Red' and 'Greed' radios function selector switches operation with autostart/autostop macros.

Optical Sight:

  • Fixed a bug with wrong gunsight diameter, when entering A/G mode with VEL Optical Sight mode enabled.
  • Changed Optical Sight Velocity Scale display logic:
    • In '(C + M or SW) R' mode the Target Aspect Angle is displayed.
    • With short range missiles selected and not in '(C + M or SW) R' mode - the Target Closure Velocity is displayed.
  • The Optical Sight target symbol doesn’t disappear anymore when it is near its movement limits.
  • The Optical Sight attitude reticle displayed part is limited now by ~75 degrees of total angle in pitch (it is the physical display limit of the pitch ribbon).
  • Optical Sight 'Normal' and 'Simplified' attitude scales are implemented on a single ribbon now, with a visible animation when the scale type is changed.
  • Implemented animated transition between the 'radar command bar' and the 'gun firing reticle' symbols. These symbols are physically placed on the same reticle ('Moving reticle').

General missile logic:

  • Wingtip missiles can now only be fired with a lock.
  • After review of available sources, Magic 1 and 2 missiles launch delays were reduced to 310 ms.
  • Added radar missile locked and masked tones.

Flight control system and AP fixes:

  • Fixed AP integral lateral command problems: AP can work with significant asymmetric payloads now.
  • AP ALT mode engagement is much more smooth now.
  • It's no longer possible to connect the AP at all when disconnection conditions are being met.
  • Solved AP disconnection issues with FFB.
  • Fixed control stick slow jitter in some situations when AP was connected.
  • Fixed autopilot roll issues that caused disconnection in MP (and in SP after a longer time).
  • Adjusted yaw damper response (both amplitude and frequency).
  • Adjusted wake turbulence behaviour. Now the aircraft won’t be so much affected by turbulence in yaw.

3D model and textures:

  • Fixed Mirage F1 EE AOA color band lights.
  • Fixed Mirage F1 EE accelerometer reset animation.

  • Sidewinder missile will not perform SEAM (scan pattern) anymore as this mode was not implemented in the real F1.
  • 'Cannon 600/Identification P' throttle button will now uncage Sidewinder missiles (except AIM-9B). If no target was detected at this moment, the seeker head will drift randomly following the background IR heat. The seeker will return to the boresight once the 'Cannon 600/Identification P' button is released. I.e. if a target is tracked, the button must be held pressed to keep the seeker on the target.
  • AIM-9JULI launch delay was reduced to 0.4 seconds (AIM-9B/P/J still have 0.8 seconds).
  • Magic 1 and 2 scan now is a 5 degrees wide rectangular pattern.

  • Fixed oxygen indication energization logic. Now, when pressing the OXY TEST button, the oxygen indicator will be energized by the emergency AC bus 1 instead of the main AC bus 2, thus allowing the oxygen level to be read with the engine off.
  • Fixed Standby Horizon attitude reference symbol movement with keyboard inputs.
  • Fixed initial position of the ejection seat clickspot before it is pressed for the first time.
  • Fixed IDN mode switch initial position in F1EE: The animation position didn't match the internal value, so the indicator moves now correctly after selecting the first mode switch position.

  • Fixed an error in the VOR/ILS test - direction of the horizontal needle movement was inverted.
  • Fixed Standby Horizon initialization pitch error at hot.

  • Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft time is more than 12:00 PM.
