The Mirage 2000 by Rollus is out!

[sparouty]

Hi everybody,
As deathfromafar said, Roland Laborie is not a newcomer in freeware modeling (look after his Crusader or Mirage IVM model for example).
This M2000-5 is his first full FSX model, and to my opinion, the work he did with BeeGee (mister "Flight model" of the French community!) is really outstanding.
Regarding the the no-mod/no-repaint policy, I don't know exactly why he did this, but it looks like the reaction of a developper exasperated at the way a few minority of the FS community hacks/"hijacks" his works...
(This is only my opinion, and NOT Roland's thought)

Unfortunately, my English is not good enough to translate the doc for you, may be some Belle Province's mates (VaporZ where are you? ) will be able to help you more efficiently?

Regards,
Sylvain

This is a masterpiece. It's amazing.
The only thing I could say is that I'd like a bit more texture to the canopy/windscreen. It looks non-existent on my system. Otherwise.....

Is there any other link for the download or is it only through their site?
Thank you.

Thank you.

It's their route, or nothing.

WoW WoW WoW!!!!

really amazing! the only issue i find is that the auto pilot hunts if there is a slight wind... and of course i want some GOOOOOOOOD sounds for it - can anyone point me in that direction?

 

[shackleton_boy]

Skysim mirage3 sounds works great

 

[ZsoltB]

Help me someone, that can be downloaded from the Mirage, because you do not succeed!

Thank you!

That's good to know. Rolland's Mirage assumes you have the Accelerator add-on installed since it aliases the F-18 (a two engine sound).

The Skysim sounds are available here: http://www.sky-sim.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68

I also have some sounds on my site but don't know if any would work well in FSX since they are showing their age now. Kirk's F1 sound might work?
:ernae:

 

[peter12213]

In your opinion Fsfranek would you say that the skysims mirage sound is like the real one, I've only seen this jet for real a few times and that was years ago!

I've tried the fs2000 Mirage 2000 sounds and they work, didn't get a lot of stick time at the moment and I'm snot sure how accurate they are, but they work.

Thank you Frank for the link and advice on sounds. Much appreciated

 

[dhazelgrove]

I've changed the alias to Aerosoft's F-16 for the moment - until there's a better single-engine sound suite. Perhaps the IRIS F-16D?

I downloaded it last night and flew it for a few flights....

Simply awesome. :ernae: thank you Rolland.

I removed the old FS9 Mirage 2000 from FSX. It has become superfluous now.

It's amazing the amazing freeware we have be fortunate to receive the past few months...Dino's Cat, The Mig-21 and now the Mirage 2000. As I said in my previous post things are certainily looking up for FSX.

Has anyone noticed that when you remove all the tanks and missles the smoke system comes on, thats no problem but I get engine smoke off the left wing? Also when looking inside the mirage folder I found a file called "Version_sp" containing an aircraft.cfg and an .air file, anyone know what they do could that be the easy already started file?

 

[JensOle]

F-16 sounds is probably a bad choice since the advanced GE (or PW) turbofan engines has little in common with the single spool construction of the SNECMA M53 which power the M2000. A closer fit will probably be the older Snecma Atar engine which makes the skysim Mirage a good substitute on the paper. I have not heard both the old 3-5 series and the 2000 at the same time, so I don't know how they match up sound wise.

 

[Bjoern]

Someone should poke Rollus and everyone else in the eye who only let registered users download something!

I don't want to sign up for one fraking download!

 

[peter12213]

I didn't either Bjoern but I did and have had no bad effects from it at all! As for the sound, I did eventually give in and used the skysim mirage III sound, and it's pretty accurate at least from inside the cockpit anyway!

If I understood correctly, those files are another flight model made for the users that do not have Acceleration.
The flight model in Acceleration is different from the flight model in SP2, concerning the jets. Users that do not have Acceleration should use the SP files, else the flight model will not be realistic enough.

 

[peter12213]

No mate your wrong Acceleration users should use the default files, and sp1 or sp2 users should use the "Version_sp" ones, otherwise the flight model will fail to load!!!
I just tried it and thats what happened the model wouldn't load.

Absolutely amazing and outstanding work! I'm proud that i got her in the air, lol. For all the systems and extra features, i have to study the excellent manual. Many thanks for this huge gift!
