The Dassault Mirage 2000-5 is a French multirole, single-engine fourth-generation jet fighter manufactured by Dassault Aviation. An improvement of the Mirage 2000, it was improved by Thomson-CSF (now Thales Group) in the early 1990s in response to the Mirage 2000's ageing compared to the latest F-16 fighter models.

Improvements over the Mirage 2000 include the capability to carry a laser designator pod, new pulse-doppler multi-target radar, new defensive systems, and updated avionics, including a night vision-compatible glass cockpit, wide-angle HUD, and HOTAS controls.

Coming into service with the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air), and exported to several countries, Dassault further improved it by creating the Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2 This is a link to a Wikipedia article, the most advanced of all Mirage 2000s.

Help

Weapons

Available weapons for FlightGear's Mirage 2000-5 are as follows:

  • Guns: 2 x 30 mm (1.18 in) DEFA 554 revolver cannon, 125 rounds per gun

How to fire a guided missile

  1. Select your missile on the graphical MFD, with the top button of the left series button.
  2. Then, select your weapon mode with w (cycles through nothing, guns, missiles)
  3. Press Shift+r to activate radar illumination.
  4. Acquire your target.
  5. Fire with e.
Note  Due to the generic missile script, FlightGear's Mirage 2000-5 can carry missiles not carried on the aircraft in real life. For a list of weapons available to the aircraft in real life, please see Dassault Mirage 2000#Specifications (Mirage 2000C) This is a link to a Wikipedia article.
Caution  It is a bad idea to fire a missile while under negative G.

Refueling

The Mirage is capable of mid-air refueling. You can enter the desired TACAN code into the right MFD (see second video), and then use both radar and the TACAN to guide you in.

Only on mirage 2000-5 feature : in french air force, refuelling is always at 22 000 feets.

Radar

The radar has 5 ranges (10, 20, 50, 100, and 150 nm) which can be switched with t. It can identify multiple targets and show some information about them.

HUD

The HUD shows both potential targets and the locked target. It also shows if the undercarriage is extended, the distance to the ground if the altitude is below 5,000 feet, and the Mach speed if the aircraft is going faster than Mach 0.8.

Development

Changelog 2015-02

3D :

  • Several more instrument in the cockpit. The working ones are : startup instrument, light variator instruments.(The others, I'm still working on it)
  • New gun explosion : more realistics
  • New missiles explosion : more realistics
  • New flames that take differents colors, depending of the sun position
  • New light effect in the cockpit when using Rembrandt.
  • New rule about each instruments lights effects
  • Possibility to disable the pilot.
  • Desactivate temporary the "non Rembrandt Shadow" that have big issue in MP (and do not allow a correct dogfight)
  • New "Exhaust"
  • Separated livery & logos (that allow differents HQ logos independently of the livery)

Systems :

  • Double center Mfd for the guys who want (or not) the canvas one. The older is now working lot more better.
  • Working startup procedure
  • Working cockpit light variator
  • Utilisation of the <usage> tag

Weapons :

  • Ground designation : This now possible to create a "ground target", by clicking on the ground and then clicking at the "Create a Target" in "Mirage 2000 > Fast Config" menu.

Nasal :

  • Lot of improvement by using a centralised function lanch and update instead of setListener or multiple different loop. This should invisble to the user except that their FPS will stay high
  • Loads are now visible over MP

What was done on the precedent changelog 201308

  • A specific and clicable autopilot (see video)
  • multi screen MFD
  • Radio management on mfd
  • An mfd EICAS
  • Cockpit general graphics are improved.
  • A weapons selection on mfd (wich make the numpad free)
  • Better sound, missile script improved (Working aiming missiles)
  • working alert panel
  • a clock

And lot of other stuff not listed here...



Futures Objectives on the precedent changelog 201308

  • Add more clicable instruments- On going (even if some are done)
  • Make the start procedure more realistic Done. (Ill add check list later)
  • Complete the Alert Panel- On going (60%)
  • Make a better HUD -> Use canvas (To make multiple Hud, for example, draw a runway on the HUD while landing with low visibility...) -Not Yet
  • Throttle stick,gear green/red light, Jettison all button. On going (even if some are done)
  • Checklist
  • Add some "ground" feature. Not Yet
  • Improve the missile script. On going
  • Put sound on missiles. Not Yet
  • Make the loads visibles in mp. Done
  • Make the RWR work. Not Yet

  • make high resolution liveries (But keep the old ones). Done
  • Increase the FDM (correction of some strange behaviour).Done (Roll limitation have been added)


  • Make a working ECM ...(Not yet....missiles has to be reworked first)

And more...
