DCS: Mirage F1
Early Access
After more than three years of active development, the DCS: Mirage F1 is now available in Early Access. Aerges Engineering is very excited to bring you this new module and we are sure that it will provide you endless entertainment.
The Mirage F1 is an iconic French fighter from the Cold War era. The module offers the unique experience of flying this powerful 1970s Western aircraft in DCS. Although this aircraft is equipped with piloting aids it requires a skilful hand to fly accurately and maximise its capabilities.
As an all-weather interceptor, the Mirage F1 is equipped with the Cyrano IV-M radar, multiple air and ground modes, and a variety of heat-seeking and radar-guided air-to-air missiles including the AIM-9J, MATRA R550, and MATRA R530. The Mirage F1 is also a capable air-to-ground platform that can be equipped with a large variety of unguided bombs and rockets.
Early Access Features:
The early access Mirage F1 CE will be available in an almost complete state. As development continues, the other Mirage F1 versions planned include the EE, BE, and M. Some of the most interesting features available at the release date are:
Professional Flight Model (PFM) based on performance and engineering data of the real aircraft. Situations of high angle of attack and outside the flight envelope behaviour such as stalls and spins which are accurately represented.
Extensive and detailed simulation of all flight systems:
Flight control system, both in its normal electro-hydraulic mode and in degraded modes.
SNECMA Atar 9K-50 engine including full envelope, damage, compressor stalls, flameouts and emergency modes.
Cyrano IV-M radar, a unique Cold War era radar in DCS.
Full Electric system.
Detailed Hydraulic system.
Fuel system.
Navigation suite: Navigation Indicator (IDN), TACAN, VOR and ILS.
Autopilot.
Radios: TRAP 136 and TRAP 137B.
Electromechanical 1970s era Thomson optical sight, a predecessor of present-day HUDs.
ALE-40 countermeasure suite.
Internal and external lighting.
Armament system.
RWR.
Extremely high-quality 3D model, based on blueprints and laser scanning of a real Mirage F1. Includes animations, lights and a damage model.
Very accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) cockpit with realistic and detailed instruments and controls.
Variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, some of them not seen before in DCS:
Short range IR missiles: MATRA R550 Magic I, AIM-9 J, AIM-9 JULI, AIM-9 B and AIM-9P.
Medium range missiles: MATRA R530 IR and EM.
Rocket launchers: MATRA F1 and F4.
Antirunway Durandal and cluster Belouga bombs.
SAMP family of bombs (both free fall and parachute equipped)
Laser guided GBU-10, GBU-12 and GBU-16.
Other American and Spanish made bombs.
Sound modeling based on recordings from the real aircraft.
Extremely realistic flyable simulation of the Mirage F1 CE, EE, BE, and M models. The EE, BE, and M will be released after the initial release of the CE.
AI models for most other variants of the Mirage F1: C, CT, CR, EQ, EDA…
A vast variety of liveries for the different countries that operated the aircraft.
Interactive training and practice missions that will help you gain proficiency in the F1.
PDF user manual that will give you pilot level understanding of all the systems in the aircraft.

Falcon BMS 4.36 U1 released
By MigBuster,
"The latest iteration of the Tommo Inc Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.36 U1 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW!
BMS 4.36 U1 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message.
U1 is an incremental update on top of 4.36 base, so you need to have the BMS 4.36 Full Installer package available on your PC. You can both update your existing 4.36 base installation as well as perform a fresh 4.36 base + U1 installation from scratch, as you like. See the installation instructions below for details.
This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Tommo Inc and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you.
Installation instructions (they will be shown as well once you run the U1 installer):
DESTINATION FOLDER: Update 1 must be targeted at the original Falcon BMS 4.36 Setup folder, NOT at your Falcon BMS installation location! After the update installer has been finished, it will run the Falcon BMS Setup program to either apply the update to an existing BMS 4.36 base installation (choose ‘Manage product updates’), or perform a fresh 4.36 base + U1 installation from scratch.
Please refer to: WIKI Installation page to see how to proceed with BMS update.
After the update, when starting BMS, the version string in the BMS UI will now read:
Falcon BMS 4.36.1 (x64) Build 26443 VERY IMPORTANT:
If you apply the update to an existing BMS 4.36 base installation (instead of performing a fresh 4.36 base + U1 installation from scratch) then be sure to only use the following lines on your “falcon BMS.cfg” (User/config folder): set g_sCompatibleChanges "all"
set g_sNonCompatibleChanges "all-DURANDAL"
4.36 U1 CHANGELOG A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team and to the gents from TOMMO INC who made this release possible!

Il2 DD Update Dev Blog 322 "Me-410A/B Cockpit / Normandie"
By 76.IAP-Blackbird,
Dear Pilots!
Today’s Developer Diary is a continuation of last weeks with more pictures of the upcoming ME 410 release, this time of the very cool looking cockpit along with more images of airfields on the Normandy map.
The ME 410 is the last of the player flyable aircraft from the Normandy plane-set to be released and the cockpit proved to be a challenge to create, especially with its unique defensive armament arrangement and complicated gunner controls. However, our modeling and engineering teams have once again created an amazing combat experience for IL-2 pilots. The ME 410 will enter beta testing very soon and testers can put it through its paces. We’re almost there Hornisse fans!
A fun fact about the Normandy map is that there are 100 airfields total when you combine the airfields in southern England and Normandy regions. These pics are just a few.
Work on the Normandy map, Normandy Career and remaining vehicles and ships continue full throttle as we march to release in the coming weeks.
And just a reminder that BON still has it’s Early Access discount, but time is getting short. If you have not already purchased it, now is a great time to pull the trigger.
Enjoy!

Il2 DD Update Dev Blog 321 "Me-410A/B / Normandie"
By 76.IAP-Blackbird,
Dear Pilots,
Today’s DD brings us images of the ME 410 A-1 in the engine finally, showing off some of its paint-schemes and beautiful lines. This beautiful bird has been in development for a long time, but the wait has been worth it. The cockpit was an especially challenging piece of work and we’ll have pics of it in the next Developer Diary, but today feast your eyes on its external beauty. Our 410 an A-1 model, but with various modifications that are included it can also become a B-2 variant. We think you will really enjoy the ME 410 A-1 ‘Hornisse’ as it was known. It’s another triumph for the Sturmovik modeling and engineering teams! The ME 410 will enter Beta in about a week’s time.
We also have several images of airfields that will be present on the Normandy map. It’s nearing completion and will enter Beta soon as well. It should be noted that the images below are still WIP and some textures may not final. As we have highlighted in previous diaries, different fields have different surfaces. These images definitely demonstrate a variety of different types. Just like our previous maps there will be numerous airfields to launch missions from and of course attack! There is just a huge variety of different airfield types to choose from.
Enjoy!
