My Mirage 2000 project

Just a little question… will the formation lights be functional?
Thanks, and great job again:
-
Buzzz says they will in 4.33
-
Oh snap…
Now we just need an afterburner like this night flights will be perfect! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/JanHas/Lights6_zps9f88dd04.jpg -

Blue flame… it depends…
The color of the flame depends on the outside temperature, and on the pressure (then, of course altitude)… You can have a orange flame out of the M-53P2 or -5, which is white, blue or orange… It doesn’t have anything general… It also highly depends on the camera, remember that a camera catch the light, according to the lens you have, cameras sometimes catch weird things…
Have a look :
: blue/pink
: white/blue
: orange
: very orange
Same for daytime
: flame style
: ball style
So, afterburner color and style generalisation is not relevant at all…

Yep … may depends on the outside temperature, and on the pressure… but the last two years in operation, I’ve always saw blue/white flame. Never seen an orange flame coming from the 2000.

Sure Dee-Jay. But the fact is that difference exists… My post was aiming to warn the community of considering any fancy effect that wouldn’t match the reality, if my eyes and yours Dee-jay are used to the M53P2/-5 flame, I’ve saw, sometimes, in simulators, “over blue effect” that I’d like to be avoided. While checking all the pictures, it appears that the blue gleams around a center strong white flame, where blue is nevertheless not the main color.
-
Yop … good to be noticed. But in BMS we will have to make a choice for the color. Can’t have both.
-
And this is the only sovereignty of the creator, I’m only intending to suggest or warn, aiming the only goal of giving the community the best BMS Mirage 2000C as possible.

Having watched and record countless HAF M2k’s takeoffs 10 meters away from the AB, both day and night and in all seasons, I can state that there was no blue flame in the human eye. During the night sorties and depending the camera type/settings there have been some shots that actually display the end and outside surrounding of the flame a bit blue, but I guess it should be much easier to scientifically explain why this is valid for a camera but not a case for the human eye.

Me was in Chad and Mali with a temp about 25 to 35°c and was M2000D.

This is interesting as both Chad an Greece have dry weather and HAF use M53P2 like french Mirage 2000D. But Chad is far hotter than Greece… It would be usefull to find french Mirage afterburner pictures in Djibouti to check if engine computer settings vary from our Air forces.

Greece Dry Weather? Since when?

Greece Dry Weather? Since when?
In France, average humidity rate is between 85% while Greece is around 68%.
Compared to France, Greece is dryer, like our Mediteranean coast.
Chad is about 18%, for information. I just intented to mention that Chad and Greece are dryer than France, which is our reference as Mirage 2000 were built in France.

DJ is right, it’s only a matter of choice…
Anyway, the afterburner would be skinnable (well, it is in the current state). -
it’s only a matter of choice
I though for a moment that what we actually discuss here have some “scientific” data in the background, so a bit more than the below quote.
But anyway it is only a skin, and anyone can do whatever he wants with this in his HDD.

It’s up to you if you want to do a skin for every possible weather/theater combination…
