Mirage IIIV VTOL

**Rep** · May 11th, 2009, 01:16

Hello Friends,

On the Gmax academy website, a new plane, and a curious one. The Mirage III V (for Vertical), prototype one and "wht if" liveries.
As the website is in french, look at the right side of the screen ("Nouveautés") and click on the link.
or go to "les projets".

Cheers
Pierre

Don't know if it's just me, but the zip file seems to be corrupt (tried d'loading twice). Anyone else having any luck ?

***Ferry_vO*** · May 11th, 2009, 07:20

Can't open it with Winzip, but no problems using Winrar.

Thanks for the HU!

**Rep** · May 11th, 2009, 07:21

Hi,
The problem is that the files are named Zip and the real format is rar.
The solution is to basically rename the files, switching from a zip to a rar.

GA_MIIIV_9.zip has to be renamed GA_MIIIV_9.rar
GA_MIIIV_X.zip has to be renamed GA_MIIIV_X.rar

Sorry for the inconvenience.
I will ask Philou, the webmaster to change the name of the files.
Cheers
Pierre

Wow! I didn't even know Gmax academy was back in business!

Compliments on the site too, great to have a little entertainment while waiting for the telecharge...
Congratulations on the support for FS9, too!
Thanks for the HU, Pierre, I've always admired your work, absolutely top rate.
A hanging Mirage...mmm, where to look for a decent Clemenceau?

**Naki** · May 11th, 2009, 13:34

.......or Foch or maybe even an Invincible..thanks for the heads up as this is quite different.

**Railrunner130** · May 11th, 2009, 13:39

Awesome find!! Many thanks for sharing!

Hi friends,
thanks for your comments and nice messages.
For the Clemenceau or Foch, our friend Fro' (sylvain) did a nice one. You can find it there
http://perso.numericable.fr/sonny3/RFN/
look at the "FSX navires" section.
Fro' is doing an amazing job on some projects.
http://forum.gmax-ac.fr/viewtopic.php?t=667
He is working on the new version of the clem' + the new Big E http://forum.gmax-ac.fr/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1039

THe next release will be the karakorum (chinese trainer), if possible next week end, and then the Mirage 2000 familly.
In the pipe, the Etendard familly, the Spartan C27, and the Rafale.
Cheers
Pierre

And congratulations to administrators and moderators for their excellent job.

Zut Alors! I am enjoying Le Balzac! Although the thumbs dbs. screwed up the aircraft menu. delete dbs. file from textures and drop new thumbs in. A nice Le clem can be found at Flight sim. com for AI carrier. I also found an AI file at FS shipyards(I think) that places her in a track off Brest. Ther is also a nice static and AI PAN CDG at FS.com.

Bonjour Pierre.

This is excellent news. Thank you very much. Downloading now...
And looking forward to the upcoming Etendard set and the Rafale.

**Wing_Z** · May 11th, 2009, 21:48

OK I am having a little trouble getting it down...
I barrel in close to Mach 1 at low level and pop the airbrake which is like hitting a brick wall.
Then flaps come out, fairly rapidly, to provide lift.
It then doesn't really want to descend, and at some point goes beserk.

Rob Barendregt springs to mind, I'm sure one could cannibalise some stuff and cobble it together to make it hover and transition nicely - it's a lovely model to look at.

I hope nobody does, because then they will find an angry "me" on their path.

However, if the author contacts me, I'm certainly willing to do a port of my VTOL function for this aircraft, since it looks very good judging from the pictures here.

Why Rob, I never for a moment was considering anybody other than yourself...glad we got your attention, and do hope there is no angry "you" anywhere on this path!

:d:d

But seriously, to properly make that I do need some input from the model designer (wrt. animations and such).

**Flyboy208** · June 12th, 2009, 18:20

**Blackbird686** · June 13th, 2009, 04:42

Nice pics... looks like a real jewell. I have tried to download it 2 times from the GMAX AC website but it only gives me part of the 38MB file.

**BoeingvsAirbusNKL** · February 13th, 2011, 09:20

I went to the website, but there aren't any download links.

But the plane is magnifiquement belle (magnificently beautiful).

...Uggghhhh...nasty angle of attack, even if you yank the ejector, you'll only end up a well planted root vegetable. Quickly.....hit reset!

Is there another newer page? I keep getting the page that says they are shutting down because of the nasty comments of users (or roughly something to that effect).

***SgtT*** · February 13th, 2011, 11:42

I think this is a good link. http://www.mirage4fs.com/mirage_x.html Look for Dassault Mirage III V.

Update: I downloaded and installed the aircraft it is fun to fly. Thanks to the Miragefs website for all of your hard work and the great aircraft and other downloads you have made available to the FS community.
