Kneeboards for Mirage F1 for startup procedures and air-to-air missile, unguided bombs / rockets and cannon employment.
These are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on startup procedures and how to employ air-to-air weapons, unguided bombs / rockets, and cannon on the Mirage F1 (after not flying it for a while). Kneeboards included:

The Mirage F1 kneeboards need to be placed in separate Kneeboard folders for each of the Mirage F1 variants. The kneeboards in the Zip archive that are not in any sub-folders (i.e. at the root) can be placed in all of the Mirage folders, for example:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1CE
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1EE
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1BE
The kneeboards in the "F1 CE BE only" folder should only go in the Mirage-F1CE and -F1BE folders, for example:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1CE
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1BE
The kneeboards in the "F1 EE only" folder should only go in the Mirage-F1EE folder, for example:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Mirage-F1EE
Note that while the Mirage F1 comes with kneeboards for startup and weapons use, and the depression angle tables, I wanted some additional details (and larger fonts for the tables), so I went ahead with creating these.
Enjoy!

============================================
Update: 12/21/2025: Minor updates to startup kneeboards:
MIRAGE F1 - CE BE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-1.png
MIRAGE F1 - CE BE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-2.png
Added steps to remove ejection seat handle safety pin (oops) and test/adjust radar detector indicator, which appears to be necessary for indicator lights to illuminate on the Thomson-CSF BF RWR in the CE and BE variants.
MIRAGE F1 - EE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-1.png
MIRAGE F1 - EE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-2.png
Added step to remove ejection seat handle safety pin (oops).
Please replace the original startup kneeboards with these updated versions.
============================================
Update: 12/20/2025: Added aircraft startup kneeboards, and made minor updates to the air-to-air and air-to-ground kneeboards:
MIRAGE F1 - CE BE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-1.png
MIRAGE F1 - CE BE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-2.png
New startup kneeboards for the Mirage F1 CE and BE variants
MIRAGE F1 - EE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-1.png
MIRAGE F1 - EE AIRCRAFT STARTUP-2.png
New startup kneeboards for the Mirage F1 EE variant. The F1 EE variant needed separate startup kneeboards due to differences in the location of various switches in the cockpit compared to the F1CE and F1BE variants, as well as some additional steps.

Updated the procedures to add gun firing trigger - unfolding, prior to firing missiles. When creating the initial kneeboards, I had the Simplified Firing Safety Logic option checked. Also added radar unlock key mapping.
MIRAGE F1 - AIR-TO-AIR ACM MATRA R550 MAGIC AIM9.png
Updated the procedures to add gun firing trigger - unfolding, prior to firing missiles/guns, and the gun firing safety - out, prior to using the guns.
MIRAGE F1 - AIR-TO-GROUND UNGUIDED BOMBS AND ROCKETS.png
Updated the procedures to add gun firing trigger - unfolding, prior to firing missiles/guns, and the gun firing safety out, prior to using the guns. Also added suggested reticle mrads for approximating guns bore sighting.
============================================
Update: 3/5/2023: Corrected kneeboard: MIRAGE F1 - AIR-TO-AIR ACM MATRA R550 MAGIC AIM9.png, regarding use of the MATRA 550 or Sidewinder missile switch, based on clarification from ED Beta Testers (thanks IvanK!)
