The Art of the Mirage 2000C - Cold Start with INS Alignment | DCS World Tutorial Series

Learn the basics of a cold start for the Mirage 2000C in DCS World, including programming the PCN Navigation Control Panel for the aircraft's INS (inertial navigation system).
Reiver uses the English variant of the Mirage 2000C cockpit, because he is an uneducated barbarian.
Reiver is not a hardcore milsim-er - he just likes playing the game well - if you're looking for something more authentic, please consult the flight manual.

After searching for up to date Mirage tutorials I ended up here, excellent work.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks dude. The series is designed to be watched sequentially so I hope you find them useful!

[@SniperAssassin308]

Where on earth would we be without these tutorials. You are a generous person to make such in-depth videos that are so easy to comprehend. If you had a French accent I would have believed you had flown it for real back in the day. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I only wish I had more subscribers!

[@jeffryb]

These are the best M 2000C tutorials on YT

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say!

[@dario5158]

Now we need a series like this for every other module. Great work

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks Dario. If I could do this full time, I would, but I need to pay the bills! :D

I am just relearning this beauty. You sir just got a new subscriber

Awesome, thank you!

Exactly what I was looing for, thanks man! BTW great quality of image and voice audio.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks Romagnolo! As a matter of fact, I'm working on my next video right now!

This is fantastic. Looking forward to watching the rest

Thank you. The series is still in its infancy but I'm happy with the way it's helping fellow virtual pilots!

Thank you very much for this serie on the Mirage, it is very helpful to tame this bird.

Thank you! Have fun with this great module!

Just found your videos yesterday! Awesome work man! Your teaching style is great! Subscribed!

[@reiver1-1]

Many thanks!

[@Dilixo]

Good video thank you. I love Mirage 2000C. Just one thing, do not active missile warning system in cold start (D2M). Because the D2M uses the same nitrogen bottle as the Magic II missiles. When both systems are active, the nitrogen bottle is empty after 35 minutes. The Magic II will be unusable once the bottle is empty. It is recommended to activate D2M (and Magic II) only when necessary.

[@reiver1-1]

Indeed. As mentioned this is just a 'not-from-the-manual' expedited start to get you ready for a quick multiplayer session. The cooling system for the D2M will be mentioned in my countermeasures/electronic warfare tutorials coming soon - the whole curriculum is planned out, I just need to find time to get through it! 🤣

@@reiver1-1 it was just an advice. Thanks to contribute to live the Mirage 2000. Good job your video series about the french blue bird ;-) I'm french and, i make also videos tutorial about the Mirage 2000. ;-)

She's one of my favourite aircraft. Awesome piece of French tech.

[@travissgrey]

AWESOME AS FUCK! Videos like these are an awesome motivation to re-learn a module again!

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I want from my tutorials. Tell everybody where they need to come! 🤣

[@rudelchw]

Great Tutorial, just the depth level I like and it's done with the current version of the M2000, what more could one ask for? ... thanks a lot for providing this content, and you've got a new subscriber. 🙏

[@reiver1-1]

You're welcome and thank you!

[@MrHighlandSpring]

Outstanding video and series sir (I’ve watched as few) and I don’t even own that Mirage 2000!

[@reiver1-1]

Many thanks. I'd certainly recommend it. It may not be as flashy as a Viper or a Hornet, but it's a great module to fly.

[@SAEVONIX]

good video

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks!

[@Taldirok]

Thank you for your videos on the 2000C, i'm about to receive my hotas from virpil and the 2000C will be my first module to try them on ! Also good french accent, as a french, nice job :)

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks Taldirok! Glad the French accent passes muster - at school, I was in the German class rather than the French class. #vivelafrance #vivelemirage

[@Taldirok]

@@reiver1-1 It's really not too bad ! Your vids on the 2000C are the easiest and clearest for me to learn from, i'm going to watch all of them and mentally train myself until i can finally train in the module !

[@reiver1-1]

@Taldirok Brilliant. Glad that they are useful for you.

[@Taldirok]

@@reiver1-1 They are indeed, it's also good to have "updated"/ new tutorials on the 2000C, as apparently updates not long ago changed some things on this module.

[@hippogriften]

very nice mate

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you. I'll eventually get through the full series!

[@JPROP-vb7sv]

I have a straight line with crosses through it on my hud I haven't seen before. How do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance( never mind, auxiliary gun site ) I got it. Maybe I am finally figuring this shit out. Thanks to you

[@muzammilkaleemulla6667]

Thanks for making this series. You explain really well. Quick silly question, just curious to know why you remove wheel chocks before starting the aircraft, as supposed to removing them later after starting the aircraft? Wouldn't it be better to remove the wheel chocks after starting the plane, right before taxi, just as a precaution?

[@reiver1-1]

In truth, so I don't forget! The parking brakes should be able to handle any misapplied throttle so long as you're paying attention so I always find it a good time to do it when setting the brake.

[@muzammilkaleemulla6667]

@@reiver1-1 got it. Thanks 😊

[@SolarTS0]

Hello sir. Will you make a bombing tutorial with regards to JTAC? I struggle with that in the Mirage

[@reiver1-1]

Hello to you sir. Do you mean bombing with regards to taking instruction in the form of a nine-line from the in-game AI JTAC? It really depends on how much simulation you want. The JTAC will give target coordinates to you in the MGRS format, which is incompatible with the Mirage's INS. You could convert the coordinates using an external converter (plenty can be Googled) which obviously breaks the suspension of disbelief. Alternatively, I believe there are mods available to change the AI JTAC's coordinate system. Have you watched the bombing tutorial videos in this playlist?

[@boombaka]

It seems ejection seat was already armed and there's no level or switch to arm/unarm it . Btw, is there any way to choose the order to drop fuel tanks? By default it drops the middle tank before ones on the wings, but the aircraft always use fuel from the wing's first

[@reiver1-1]

Yes, there is no safety pin in Razbam's modelling of the aircraft in DCS World. To my knowledge, the selective jettison always drops the centreline external tank first and there isn't a way of preferring the wing tanks, although I would only use three drop tanks on a ferry flight anyway.

[@boombaka]

@@reiver1-1 Aye, looks like 3 tanks is a bit overkill unless you need to travel across the country. One more thing, why is ground crew comm is always greyed out even though it works? Bugs the hell out of me. And thank you for your replies!

[@Jolly1-1]

when I start my Mirage i have no pitch ladder on my hud, I haven't found a solution. any help would be appreciated

[@reiver1-1]

I assume you see other symbology on the HUD, just not the ladder. If that is the case, first check that the INS has been aligned and then been set into the NAV mode and [N] operational mode.

[@Jolly1-1]

That was it thank you! i always do it in the F1 i guess i was too focused on other aspects of the start in the 2000. thank you again @@reiver1-1

really quiet could do with bumping the audio up a notch the engine noise drowns you out
