Wilches Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Missing this one! BTW, any chance to release the F1Es from IRIAF? Lovely liveries! places to buy gas near me 2 Quote
+ludo.m54 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 We're working on it but we have some difficulties with the fuel tanks. Some sources say that they use F-5E fuel tanks but some others say that it was only experimental... So we don't know which ones to use. BTW, if you have some informations about that... 1 Quote
Svetlin Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Well, these are definitely F-5 275 gal drop tanks: The fact that all pictures from various angles represent just 1 airframe (3-6403) supports the theory that this could be just an experiment. I was unable to find pictures of other airframes fitted with such tanks. On the other hand fitting F-5 drop tanks to Mirage F1 in Iran makes a lot of sense considering how much IRIAF is exploiting the F-5 models, even to the extent of making their own variants - Azarakhsh, Saeqeh and Saeqeh-2. I would vote to implement both types, so players could choose on their own what to fit during a mission. In my opinion that would not be what-if territory. Can't wait for the Mirage F-1CT though, I am so happy it is its turn now. Edited December 3, 2022 by Svetlin 2 1 Quote

I mean it's not technically wrong to implement the tanks on the Iranian version but having tanks would probably benefit some player down the line. Quote
+ludo.m54 Posted December 5, 2022 Author Posted December 5, 2022 Ok, we will make test to add the F-5E fuel tank to the Mirage F1. @Wilches I cannot see the pictures in the link you posted. And yes, we will make the Mirage F1CR 1 3 Quote

+ludo.m54 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Posted December 6, 2022 Thanks Wilches, I share the translated text with the team Another question, do one of you have the dimensions of the F-5E 275 gallons fuel tank ? Quote
Svetlin Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Ravenclaw is the best person to go to as usual. He has created the excellent 275-gal drop tank, built into the NF-5A model by Sophocles. Perhaps you could talk with Ravenclaw, he surely has the dimensions since he has already created a model of the drop tank. Having personally seen how generous Ravenclaw is, I would not be surprised if he decides to save you time and provides you the ready model of the tank to incorporate into the Mirage F1. 1 1 Quote

On 10/7/2022 at 4:07 PM, Svetlin said: I guess a very brief description of the differences would be that provided in Wikipedia for EQ-6 - new Sherloc digital RWR, new Cyrano IV-SP1 radar, and capable of carrying two Exocet missiles at once. 30 built Mirage F1EQ-5 is capable of carrying a single Exocet under the fuselage. Other sources indicate Cyrano IV-MR radar with terrain avoidance capability for the EQ-6. An interesting piece of information on the EQ-6, that I came across, is that back in 1989 those were equipped with rails to carry and launch Kh-29L soviet/russian laser guided A2G missiles. On a different note, I am happy to see new Mirage F1 variants with later cockpits and more recce, ECM, etc. pods included in the weapons list, so I hope we are close to the moment when it will be time for updated Mirage F1CT/CR versions. Cyrano IVMR radar is specific to the F1CR, not installed in the EQ series. But all radar variants of the EQ series have terrain avoidance/anti-collision modes which are all not automatic (so not like in the A-6/F-111/Tornado) The Kh-29L modification was made with at least 2 EQ5 aircraft. Didnt see any combat usage. Combat operations were conducted with a pair of aircraft, an EQ5 for target designation and a Su-22M4 as shooter with Kh-29L The EQ6 is an EQ5 with following changes/enhancements: - new digital RWR - new radios - improved radar with SPI - Signal Processor Improvement with two Air-Surface modes (for targeting ships) - enhanced armament system with a default capability for mixed loads on the inner-wing stations (AS 30 L or AM 39 + tank) and a configuration of two AM 39 Exocet on the inner wing stations (includes new launcher pylons) Iraq received all but the last 4 of the 30 EQ6 on order. Seven of the delivered EQ6 were painted in the dark blue/white Super Etendard scheme. 4 Quote

Foug84 Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 So, i'd like to ask if there is a "paint kit" available for the Mirage F1 ? I tried my hand at modifying the jpeg skins, but i'd like to know if there are paint kits with layers and masks somewhere ? Quote
