SSW Mirage F1 on the works

[flaviossa]

Anybody saw that? Nice
Didn´t see any announcment here, so i posted this.

The announcment is in their front page: http://www.vaafse.org/simskunkworks/store/index.php

An instant buy for me. Thanks for the news, haven't seen that.

 

[Daube]

Very good news indeed !
The freeware team Restauravia was also modelling one, but I don't know how far they went with it.

 

[Montie]

I just need to know when its ready

 

[fsafranek]

That's great news. Glad I stopped by here today. Looks like they are leaning towards the F1M. Very unique panel in that one but still an excellent choice.

Looking forward to seeing this one develop.

Cheers,

I hope they are developing the legacy C version.

Great news...Surely the rendition of the Grandmother (spanish nickname for the Mirage F1 in the last years) will be amazing.

 

[Dimus]

I hope they are developing the legacy C version.

Ditto that.

This has just gone on the must have list.

Fantastic news ! Kirk's models have really done well and I am so thankful for his work, which is still to this day outstanding. That was the Mirage F1 I logged a ton of virtual time in, but a new HD incarnation of this sexy French Jet is overdue, That being said, I am really excited about this new project by SSW !!! Mike

From ssw facebook page, HUD work in progress.
Also, here is a nice hud tape viedo from an Mirage F1 CG.

It would be cool, if the developers could answer some questions here and not only on the facebook page.
From my understanding, they are developing the E version , i would like to ask if a C version is planned, and
cockpitwise, what are the differences between the 2 version, couldn't find pictures from the side consoles of the E version.

I prefer an E version with INS and bombing capacity.

SSW Mirage F1 head up

After some initial doubt, SSW decided to go initially for the C version, leaving room to go to E version to cover also the ground attack role.
Here some features:
- Both TacPack and vACMI compatible
- HUD and CyranoIV radar linked (both made with Red Panda technology used on SSW Tornado, (zero impact on performances)
- Realistic flight model, including Dynamic Drag Index, external stores load/drop affect not only the weight but also the aerodinamic drag
- Cyrano radar in AA mode will be replicated as the real thing, including interception mode.
- Ground Mapping Radar with dynamically computed radar shadows based on real SRTM elevation data
- Almost all systems will be replicated and can be operated at maximum level of realism

Tips, hints, comments and complains are well accepted.
cheers

Thank you SSW! My dream to fly the F1C(G) will come true!
Do you aim at a 2017 release?

I want to say thanks in advance for the work being done and being an owner of all the SSW models, you can count on me being in line to buy the F.1 regardless of when it's ready (at the holidays or early next year)! Looking forward to seeing progress shots in the future. In the meantime, will be studying the F.1 in detail to learn more about it.

I would also like to say thank you I haven't bought any of your products yet but this I will definitely get. Are you likely to out the Hellenic blue camo in with this or was this paint scheme done on a different variant. Mighty actually treat myself to your starfighter.
