Just gotten into dcs and have been using your tutorials, I gotta say thanks heaps you've made this huge daunting sim actually sound achievable to learn 😂

glad to see you doing videos on this you are prob the ezest to understand when it comes to learning planes.

Poor Herky Birds. They were just up there trying to build hours. At least they were lucky enough to face the F-1 which gave them a fighting chance.

I do miss your full tutorials. From cockpit familiarization to startup to each system. I go one by one. But thank you for this

I had to watch other videos and figure it out myself.. and I was just wishing the whole time man I wish you had made one!! All I had to do was wait!! Definitely the best tutorial videos on dcs!! Thank you!

Thanks for doing this tutorial, I think yours are the best.

Fantastic guide, valued youtuber. Helped me learn the basics enough to kill something and use the radar!

Thanks for the vid...Ive been waitin for this one you got the better tutorials for sure

Thank you for another awesome overview and tutorial!

Thank you Cap, I always follow your lectures master teacher 💪😍

Awesome work Cap, thanks a lot! Greetings out of switzerland Loopan

F1 without pit stops, I’m confused already!

Thank's Cap for the break down, but I still think I need six years of Harvard and about four at MIT to learn that radar lol. 😋 Seriously though, I think with lots of practice and patience we can get use to the basics.

This is awesome. You're also an instructor. I believe a lot of people would love these. Training videos for all kinds of jets.

Thank you for this video!

Bought this module, no manual, no A2A missile tutorial. Ty Grim Reapers

Your tutorials are fantastic. You’re a natural teacher and you break it down in layman‘s way that anyone would be able to understand. For the sake of the community, I hope you keep it up. Thank you again Cap. 👍

Awesome video Cap. Thanks

I have just got the Mirage F1 Module and been playing around with it myself. Your right Cap when you say it feels buggy. I also think your right when you say it may be just how plane is in real life, after all its French. Its like on old Citroen, none of the switches are where they supposed to be like in a standard car, the interior is dark and weird and there's always some electrical fault causing some system on the car not to work.

The Tel - Center - BPZ switch is a 3 position switch (obviously). If it's correct and BPZ is only working after first switching to Tel and then to BPZ, then it is a bug for sure. In the real plane you can't directly switch from Tel to BPZ because of the center position.

Again, amazing detail in the simulation and excellent teaching/training you are doing! Thank you

Cool part with this aircraft, you could do historical Iraq missions, cause they used a lot of F1's.

24:18 I read that the Spanish air force make a test and get 1 hit of 10 fired, the radar guided was very poor, and the IR guided slightly better. The South African air force directly do not autorize their pilots use them considering them dangerous. The missile was designed to use vs high level bombers in strait flight, never vs fighters, evasive targets, and didnt have any kind of countermessure capability, so chaff, flares or even the Sun will call the missile. But somehow, its stay in service until middle 80s in the french navy F-8s, and the USA/UK considered it similar to the aim-7E.

Thanks Cap!

Thank you!

It’s a great night!!

Thanks for the tutorial Cap, it does look like an interesting aircraft but the module seems pretty expensive... going to think about it a bit.

Time for Area 88 & trance music!!

Thanks Cap, guess I'll keep trying to not dislike this plane!!🤣

I still miss these guides CAP. Not just because this is a typical French development with 1 trillion buttons all over the place in no logic order. 🤣

I haven’t read the manual fully yet, is the “E” mode for the radar tilting in azimuth bars? So +1 would be about 4 to 6 degrees up with a 3 or 4 degree scan cone?

So, from what I can find (which isn't very certain), I don't think the F1CE has a pulse-doppler radar. This should mean that it has bad look-down performance, but it's also not vulnerable to notching. If you run out of better things to test, it'd be nice to see if it's modelled that way.

15:20 i think that 1 degree is actually correct because the radar scan width is already about 15 degrees wide

I do believe I will hold off until the developer has had some feedback sorts out some of the issues and comes out with 2.0. And like all DCS aircraft, the trick is binding the right commands to the right controller, and then keeping them straight in your head. Controls mapped to, say, the Frogfoot become familiar while you're focusing on that aircraft. Then you hop in the Apache and it's a whole new set of commands. In a sim like MSFS 2020, the same controls are applied to all aircraft. G cycles the landing gear in all planes. Not so in DCS. G may drop a bomb if that's mapped. But the early access looks stunning. This is going to be a nice plane once they finish it.

MMM the telemetry ACM mode should work like the F-5 gun acm mode, considering you locked your target first with the TEL mode and set the firing range as you want, the piper should calculate lead accordingly. Otherwise it would be nothing but a p-47 gyrosight right cap?, and as dumb as we french may be, we used radar telemetry on gunsights since the mystere IV.

Hi! Do you have any plans for adding a x56 file for the Mirage f1? I find it very difficult to do a proper setup, and there is almost no help available anywhere...

You had me at “for dummies “ 😬

At what range is the altitude adjustment for the radar? If the radar is hitting a target 5000 feet below you at a hypotenuse distance of 10nm a target at 20nm will be far below 5000 feet, right?

I thought the mirage F1 could carry the matra super 530, guess this variant can't. Great tutorial cap!

What button brings up the ruler that you use on the f10 map?

So does that mean we shouldnt use it in online seeming there is a risk of friendly fire? seeming there is no IFF capailitys

I don't understand how to put the Radar in TL

invisible unlocking ? So I need a better screen?

Why can't I download your mission files?

Can the heatseekers be slaved to a radar lock?

i have a problem, i see anithing on radar, and Is on

Please cap! Need a tutorial on ILS approach!

that cockpit is build in such a way that i am running out of buttons

Sumarizing: a weird complex buggy machine... in good old French technology fashion EDIT: i'm speaking about Cyrano IV Radar AND R-530 Matra in their 2 IR and SARH variants

WHY can you not make your pointer kurser brighter and larger beecause it dissappears at times ????????????????????? Thankyou.All the instructions were useless because of haveing to find your pointer!

Pretty much ALL the French technology is quirky. They always follow some logic of their own and there is usually a method to their "madness". For example, French cars. Though lately they largely abandoned it but there is always something... The most extreme case being Citroen. They had this weird suspension, very complex. Brakes and suspension were one system and it would level up your car always, at the height you desire from the ground even if you had a flat tire; you could easily not even notice that, cos the car would be level even then. Downside? If your hydraulic fluid leaks for some reason, you lose both suspension AND brakes while driving... Also, position of switches and stuff... Really awkward, look up a video about it in order to believe it (for example, Citroen SX). Lately, not so bad. I own a Citroen and the only quirk I could find was the position of switches for power windows. In front of gear stick, basically on the floor! Same with weapons... I remember a vid about some sniper rifle of theirs where scope settings were reverse to what everybody else does... Elevation is where everybody else puts windage and vice versa... Bolt action rifles: everybody puts bolt lock to the front, the French put it at the back... There is always a reason, not to make this comment even longer... So, if the controls and way of work are awkward - that's probably 100% true and 100% French!

I don't know if it's funny or sad that so many people confuse real world possibilities and limitations of weapons systems with the capabilities of this simulator. Love the videos!

I’m so confused…

I dont like this radar, mig 21 radar is much easier to use.
