This is the Mirage F1B unarmed two-seat trainer. Four configurations are
included: clean, air-to-air, centerline fuel tank and empty pylons, and all
empty pylons (for the CFS2 crowd). It uses default sounds. Paint scheme
is for French Armée de l'Air, Escadron de Chasse 3/5 "Comtat-Venaissin".
Included are Dynamic Virtual Cockpit and maximum animation (gear compression,
realistic gear sequence, spinning wheels, spoilerons, drag chute, and an
incredible afterburner effect).

Word of note on the Dynamic Virtual Cockpit

The plane is meant to be flown with the virtual cockpit. So there is no
2D panel bitmap, but to get the gps, autopilot, compass, and throttle gauges
to be viewable. I had to have a main panel matte to place them on. The
black that comes up when you select the 2D main panel was an expectable
trade off I had to live with. I set the default to not show the 2D main
panel on startup, but if you get the black screen you can always press W
to cycle the view.

2. Best viewed with muti-texturing turned ON. Otherwise gauges may
not appear during twilight hours.

3. For slower machines I would recommend that you turn the virtual cockpit
gauge quality (found in the AIRCRAFT section of the DISPLAY menu) to low.
The gauges will still be readable, but performance will be much improved.

4. GPS, Autopilot and other instruments can be accessed through the main
menu bar (VIEWS>INSTRUMENT PANEL>....) or by pressing SHIFT+1, SHIFT+2,
SHIFT+3, SHIFT+4, SHIFT+5. I had to have a main panel matte to place them
on. The black that comes up when you select the 2D main panel was an
expectable trade off I had to live with.

5. I would also suggest moving the pilots view point around, both
in and out of the cockpit. You'll get a lot of cool looking perspectives.

DRAG Chute

The Drag chute will deploy automatically upon touchdown when the airbrake is
fully extended and your speed is between 60-200 mph. It will not appear when
those conditions do not exist.
