Re-Learning the Secrets of the DCS Mirage F1EE FROM NOTHING!

Hey guys! This Sunday we are going to be doing one of our DCS Sunday missions on my Spuds Buds Discord Server, and I will be flying the relatively new DCS Mirage F1EE and leading nearly 50 other DCS pilots.
I haven't flown the DCS Mirage F1EE in quite some time, so its now time for me to re-learn the aircraft and make sure I am totally current in the aircraft so I can make as good of a video as possible for you guys, while also being able to competently lead the other pilots in the mission.
I really love the Mirage F1 and I hope that this video will help inspire more of you guys out there to fly this beautiful jet.

Hey guys! I hope you enjoy me bumbling my way through flying the Mirage F1, and I hope more of you guys start flying this beautiful little jet, it really is a masterpiece of a module!

[@slowhornet4802]

Seeing the F-1 I want a Jaguar even more badly. SEPECAT Jaguar M version please 😀

[@MrChaosProf]

I love this video style! Just a DCS pilot, flying a mission and telling the audience about his thought process with a little bit of chatter inbetween...

[@Spudknocker]

Hahaha I am glad you enjoyed watching me trip over myself haha

[@Jacksonflax]

The radar in the F1EE is actually surprisingly "grabby", You can leave it in 60 degree 35 mile scan and it will catch you off guard with how quickly it'll pick aircraft up. It's thrust to weight ratio might be poor, But it accelerates and cruises very fast in MIL even with heavy loadouts. Things such a treat to fly in dcs.

[@haedubabaganush]

just a quick comment...in the French aircraft, A stands for arrêté which means "Stopped"

[@Spudknocker]

Thanks!

[@adrien5834]

@@Spudknocker A = Arrêt (Off), M = Marche (On)

[@charts3503]

As always Spud, great to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing.

[@konstantinossideris7370]

Glad to see you flying the F1 again. My all time favourite bird! Hope you post more videos with it. As for the radar I think it's really good. I have achieved a lock of a slow bomber from 35 miles away!

[@arcadium86]

Love this format mate, good job

[@ikercano9690]

nice video man, salute from Spain!!!

[@Rawkus105]

Ive been loving the F1EE this year - awesome jet.

[@Spudknocker]

It’s a great jet!

​@@Spudknocker The paint scheme you're using looks sweet too

[@jimmy8x541]

excellent, I bought this module to fly on Cold War era servers. have not started learning it yet but I'm sure this will be informative for me

[@RagsAIN-14]

Will definitely be a patron soon. I'm going on 55 years old and I haven't entered a live server yet. I don't have any comes or any way to communicate with the exception of the DCS. I would gladly pay for someone's time to help me learn the fundamentals. Especially the F-14 and f-18 legacy. The F-14 was my era during 91 to '96 on CVN 76. Reagan. Appreciate all of your videos very much so. 😎👊

[@Spudknocker]

Hey man! I am more than happy to help you out, but of course no pressure!

[@RagsAIN-14]

Thank you very much 😎👊 I get my disability once a month. Few weeks away but I'll get a hold of you ASAP. Be doing me a great service. Thank you so much 🕊️

[@snakeoo7ca]

Trust me his patreon isnt worth it. Guy rescheduled our tutorial flights like 3 times for "work" which was completely bullshit excuses that were fabricated

[@RagsAIN-14]

@@snakeoo7ca I'm sorry that you're experience was not good for you. I truly am. I'm 3 months solid in DCS now. Spuds schedule can get a bit hectic, but I've completed the F-14 and just completed and wrapped up the f-18 legacy. Charlie with the AG/ missiles. I just let him know when I'm ready, normally within 5 to 7 days we'll get together and wherever I'm having an issue he spends or have spent up to almost 2 hours at a time with me. I don't need anybody to fly with me to teach me. I made it so he can just look at my screen, especially in the f-18 with all of its logistics and electronic values I had some issues with. My time as an old rotor head was gimbles and spinners. No reason for him to fly with someone to teach them when he can. Just simply look at your screen and take you through all the variables. That has been my experience.

[@thejetfighter]

Nice video 😀

[@CMBelite-FR]

Very nice video :). For the break landing, you need to go by the numbers with this aicraft with the one provided in the Manual :)

[@Spudknocker]

Roger that… I will RTFM haha!

[@Darkdally]

I just got the F1, and am trying to learn the starting procedure for the EE, wow, comparing it to my Viggen that I'm used to... wow. That thing is easy to get going lol

[@TechGaming45]

Alright.... Great vid.

[@thedj15]

I'd love to see a bombing run tutorial!

[@Spudknocker]

Definitely

[@darrylsturgis7389]

Gotta say, the F1 looks like what you’d get if a Mig-21 and an F-104 mated

[@Spudknocker]

It’s like a MiG-23 with no swing wings! It even had weird landing gear like a mig-23!

[@MartusTube]

The way I remember the M/A nomenclature is A = Arret, which is basically "Arrest", so "no-go" or "stop". M = Marche, which is "March", so "go", "walk". Etymologically, the french and english words are actually related as described above. As for pret... it's kinda stupider in my head... Pret = Ready, or Available, or as I remember it - "preaty" (sounds like ready).

[@JuiceLBK]

Hey not sure if its modeled in the sim but after dropping tanks you will want to make sure the transfer switch is changed from "external" to "internal". I alters the fuel sequence when having an external tank or not. I'd have to look at my fuel book but that might be why your jet was pitching up on refuel. - a DCS loving F1 mechanic

[@JuiceLBK]

the transfer switch is located near the end of transfer fuel tank lights

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I want the F1EE so bad, but I also am waiting for the F-15E Strike Eagle From Razbam, and the F-4 from Heatblur, the Chinook, the Sinai map, the Kiowa... there's a couple hundred bucks just with those. Until I hit the lottery, the F1EE is going to be a distant dream.

[@nicholasconklin9586]

FYI, if you do a free 2-week trial, you can get a discout at the end of the trial. Not sure how much it is but its a pretty sweet deal that ED does

[@marshalcoxit7677]

Can we get an updated mig-19P tutorial-series! love the old cold war jets!!

[@rhysgoodman7628]

Hey Spud. Could you maybe do a tutorial video with the F1 about the altitude-difference mode? I feel like it’s only right for an F1 to be flying shit-hot on the deck, pointing its radar up and smacking Tomcats that are flying much higher.

[@garygora8892]

Thanks. Just got started in DCS. While the the tutorials for the Mirage F1 module are good I'm still getting my a$$ kicked. I like your instructional style the walk through was really good learned a lot. Hope to be flying soon...

[@jep1103]

Wish they would supply fuel burn tables with these 'hi-fidelity' modules at different altitudes and throttle settings so u can plan a flight more effectively....seems to be lacking for mirages

[@alheeley]

I'd like to test this module, really nice textures and interesting avionics, but I see theres no trial licence 'fly-before-you-buy' option at ED shop - any reason for that?

[@benji112GAMING]

How are the baskets of the tanker already deployed? Mine I have to wait all the time for the tanker to deploy them when I am at precontact

[@samsc6728]

Do you use a smoke mod for the craters etc?

[@RagsAIN-14]

Hey spuds!👋 Is this the same? F1 mirage for sale in the specials ? I was thinking about getting it while it's at a good price. Fair price I should say. Looks a little different than the one in the sales it just says F1 but I know it's a mirage

[@Spudknocker]

It’s the same aircraft! The F1 module includes a bunch of different variants

[@falanglao01]

Is there a manual out for the EE version? Cant find one 😥😥

[@propfan3485]

m means = Marche !!! on

[@sibowu1188]

You learn it properly ? I learn them when I fly them with tutorial videos open

[@Spudknocker]

I honestly find it easier to use the manual for systems haha

What is this ticking sound? It starts early and gets faster on takeoff.

[@jr0815_aka_gulredrel]

It's the fuel totalizer. Sound was introduced with one of the latest updates. Regarding the forum entries, this will be tweaked.

[@CB-ii2uy]

Can you turn that osund off is frickin annoying?

[@jr0815_aka_gulredrel]

@@CB-ii2uy Currently not, Aerges stated in the forum thread that turning it off/down will be a special option in a later patch.
