The Art of the Mirage F1 - Air-to-Air Radar BVR Fundamentals | DCS World Tutorial Series

[@damascuswizard2592]

Eu nunca vi um vídeo de alguém ensinando tão bem, incluindo faculdade, cursos ou qualquer outra coisa!!! Serio quanta dedicação, isso é incrível!! Estou escrevendo em português mesmo para que voce saiba que alcança pessoas em todos os lugares!

[@reiver1-1]

Muito obrigado! Conte aos seus amigos sobre mim!

One of the best tutorials for the Cyrano radar. Many thanks.

[@reiver1-1]

You're quite welcome.

I had issues understanding how the changes in the radar elevation works, this video made it really easy to understand. I did not know the allidate range position actually affected the scan elevation Quick info on the bar scan. IIRC the Radar scans like 1. ---------> 3. ---------> 2.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks! Hope you are swatting those MiGs from the sky! Yes you are correct; detecting an echo in one direction of sweep but not the other can give you some indication as its elevation - left to right detection only means the target is above and right to left, it is below. The Mirage F1's four bar scan pattern is unusual like that; it spirals downwards rather than the more-common back-and-forth "ladder" pattern.

Wake up babe, new Reiver tutorial just dropped.

[@reiver1-1]

lol 😆 Thanks for the support!

[@konstantinossideris7370]

Glad you are back to my beloved Mirage F1! Great video after so long just learned about the D function on the elevation control of the radar!

[@reiver1-1]

Yeah, been buried with IRL work but finally managed to get caught up! Hope you enjoyed the video.

[@kontiuka]

Important clarification needed regarding the elevation. The numbers are always in thousands of feet whether you are in "E" mode or "D" mode. They are never in degrees.

[@reiver1-1]

Perhaps I didn't explain that clearly but I do state that the numbers represent the altitude difference whether in D or E mode. With the alidade set to 10 nm, the number in E mode gives a good approximation of the angle in degrees (as well as the altitude difference), given the bracket of altitudes the radar's scan cone will be covering, which can be confirmed with the inverse tangent trigonometric function. This is obviously a useful rule-of-thumb feature. 👍

@@reiver1-1 ok. I haven't watched the entire video yet. I was just going by what you said around the 14:15 mark.

[@pierre1714]

Timing is amazing, was training a friend on mirage BVR yesterday and struggled. Now he has a perfect video to learn with, and even myself has improved :) Thank you !

[@reiver1-1]

Ahh brilliant. You're welcome and good hunting!

[@GhostofIsraphel]

Lmao I was JUST praying for the radar BVR vid to drop so I could watch it on the way home. Thanks a bunch Reiver your vids are the highest quality tutorials on the platform.

[@reiver1-1]

Would if I could say that I planned it deliberately for your journey home, but that would be a fib. Thanks very much for your support. More to follow!

[@rosaleeziegler7786]

Thanks Reiver! Trialing and F1 and loving it so far, your tutorials helped me a ton with the M2000. Love the passion for French aircraft and definitely helping me be a fellow fan.

[@reiver1-1]

You're welcome. Glad you're trialling the F1 - it's an underrated module!

[@jacksonfogleman]

This is impeccable timing ole boy. A few close friends and i are running a cold war op this weekend, and live chosrn the F1. Perfect content to help me brush up the technicalities. I skso deeply appreciate your M2000 series, fantastic content sir. Thank you

[@reiver1-1]

You're welcome. Let me know how you get on with your Cold War op!

[@jacksonfogleman]

@@reiver1-1 it went quite well thank ye, loads of fun flying with smaller groups in more limited situations, bloody good fun cold war is. I've seen you on a few servers occasionally; if you ever find yourself with a jet parked on your right wing, you'll know who it is ;)

[@D34THF4C3]

Yes! another one. this series has been amazing. Thank you very much 🔥🔥🔥

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks very much. I've been snowed under with IRL work so I've only just managed to complete it! More to come!

[@D34THF4C3]

@@reiver1-1 looking forward to them. i reference you videos all the time.

[@gomes389]

Thanks for another great tutorial 👍

[@reiver1-1]

You're welcome!

[@angelrr3201]

Fantastic, as always

[@reiver1-1]

Many thanks!

[@rybuds47]

You are a great teacher, i subbed.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks for the support!

[@richskinns]

excellent - cheers'

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks and you're welcome!

[@kontiuka]

Hi. I don't think the engine has to be off to remove the radar shroud. Just the canopy has to be open.

[@stefansaveda2449]

TWS-Mode (APS) is now implemented. Did u try it already?

[@reiver1-1]

Yes, video is in production!

[@S.Figur-the_real_one]

BEST as ever. Thy vm☆☆☆☆☆

[@reiver1-1]

No, no...thank you!

[@timothymorgan8254]

Thanks for the teaching, any terrain avoidance mode?

[@reiver1-1]

You're welcome. Terrain avoidance is not implemented at the present time, I'm afraid.

[@koen7906]

Such a shame that she doesn't have IFF :(. Makes BVR capability useless in many DCS online situations.

[@reiver1-1]

Not useless...just more of a challenge! 😀

[@koen7906]

@@reiver1-1 yeah ok, it can be used if you have GCI on or if the server comes with very regular EWR picture. If not, then you simply can't ID the target BVR.
