With due respect to your work: assuming that the DB capacity is limited, is the F1 so important that BMS would need 11 variants of this aircraft?

Whatever happens, it’s not a big deal.
It’s like every projects.
A request doesn’t means that you get everything you need.
So, no issue there.

Hey! Take it easy!
I never meant Mirage F-1 was more important than another one.
I simply announced, I will ask.
ask or request doesn’t means demand.
So, I am subordinated to my staff decisions. But the two most important are Mirage F-1CT (the most deployed in operations, and French one) and ASTRAC (the most technically advanced, and Morrocan one). If we have to reconsider our list, those these ones will remain. Patriotism is for us a criteria.

Why would the database be limited? Wouldn’t there be scope for some expansion? Whilst certain limits can be placed on these expansions these should be calculated in so that any potential upgrades will be able to be carried out without impacting overall playability of the game. I can fully understand the requirements for poly restrictions however to ensure that no one aircraft can avail itself of all resources.
Radium,
Like how the HUD is coming along.
Cheers

There is a limitation for weapons but I do not know about about the rest. In my DB I just discovered that the new MW1 weapon is simply not visible in SSD list because of this limitation therefore in camapaigns cannot be made available…
Before creating new DB entries can be used the existing ones. With all respect but anying before '70s is simply junk which was not major AC during '70s and '80s. What does this mean? MiG-21PF, F-4E, MiG-25, Il-28 because of PRC/DPRK etc are good because they were widely used? Which are bad? F-105, F-100 and older fighters and jet fighters. Also should not be wasted DB entries for trainer AC as long as two seater in MP is not supported. When the code will support it can make new DB entry but as long as MB-339 and similar AC are simply garbage from my aspect. You can model many new AC with new LODs as I have done in my MOD. Was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay simplier then creating new DB entries for everything.
For weapons this recycling is OBLIGATORY as long the current weapon limit exist. Anyway the weapon part in DB is also filled with garbage… This pack will contain new pods and maybe new weapons either…
For me is the biggest issue that I cannot delete thing in DB. This is ture for even DB entries but for also parents and LODs.
Why would the database be limited?
As we can see it is limited at least for weapons. You can create more recods than SSD is able to handle… Yes, recycling is painful and have effect on Tacref - which is IMHO is a who cares issue from my aspect - but it provides some advantage comparing to the other way.
For me is not important to have all 11 subvariants because I can live with small inaccuracies between different variants. For me the most important to get the European Mirages and such variants which can be used currently existing 3rd party theaters. I know that in some player love more unique variants which likely was/are operated by his/hir nation but from aspect of gameplay (campaigns) they are not important.

Hey back.
Our choice was simple. Mirage F1 was widely used in Non-US influenced countries, So for french, we see more than others guys that Mirage fighters are not second ring fighters, much more deployed in History than F-16 for most of its users. Mirage F-1CT and F-1CR were made to make war, and were used for this purpose by motherland France. So, it was clear for us, Mirage F-1 was needed to be made, and considered as a frontline fighter and not secondary.
Please remember for example that Mirage F-1 has much more flight hours at war than F-16MLU from all its users.
For ASTRAC, France and Morroco had a long time common diplomatic history and we feel much closer to Morrocan than any other Mirage F-1 user in the world. It was clear for us, we should bring our Morrocan enthusiasts their national fighter aircraft, moreover the best Mirage F-1 in the world who fights now alongside with F-16C block 52.
For us, Mirage F-1B should also be made, as it has radar and Super 530F F1 missiles and R550 F2 “fighting rockets”.
Best regards,
Radium

Hi, of course I take it easy. Afaik there is a limit of 600 weapons in the DB, which is filled to the max. Added weapons won’t show up in game, unless the 600-limit has gone in 4.33. I guessed there may be a similar kind of limit to other DB stuff like aircraft. Hence my concern. But it’s a great add-on

Mmmmm.

And? Are they visible in SSD?

Have you plan to provide CORAIL chaff/flare dispensers as a separate weapon/pod ?, or included in the 3DModel (seems to me that CORAIL are always loaded on F1-CT & CR wing-point-0)

Hello!
Sure, it will have Corail
(I confirm, both Mirage F1CT and CR are concerned) but I don’t know how to manage it in BMS for now. In fact, I haven’t thought about it.
Now, I am tackling about adapting SNA panel with BMS functions. Not 3D, simply, paper and pen, how to stuff…

Will have to sitck to F-16 avionics and specificities.
No ressources to add avionics stuff for other a/c.

Interesting posts guys. I agree with Radium the F.1 is a very important aircraft and will be great to have it in BMS.
Thanks both Radium and Gudule!!

Yes, I never say I will request something.
I will simply use F-16 stuff. The best I can.
It’s not my personal policy to ask new stuff for stability reasons.

Hello,
Today, we found some good background ambiance textures for the HUD.
No render, no special materials, these are simpe viewport printscreens and simpel diffuse maps.
Cheers,
Gudule and Radium

Looking forward to see more of it, at the moment looks gorgeous!

Looking great !

Are your reffering to Technical maintenance manuals?
Because the Mirage f1 cyrano manual has a lot of Technical data (range, scan angles etc.) regarding avionics.
Also, there is available the General mirage f1c manual -

F-16 avionics are pretty much everywhere in the code, so creating new avionics for new aircraft would be a nightmare.

Hello dear friends,
We finally got a full clearance to add these versions :
- Mirage F-1CT (ground assault, Night striker) ;
- Mirage F-1 EM VI (the best Mirage F-1 in the world, the most retrofitted)
- Mirage F-1 EQ (Iraki/Irani REDFOR fighter)
- Mirage F-1 C.14 (Spanish mid life update)
- Mirage F-1B (Air combat trainer)
This is the very final list. Any other custom versions will be done, only specific paint schemes. Sorry for Mirage F-1CG, no probeless Mirage F1 would be done…
Best regards,
Radium

The most important variants are included.
