Mirage F-1 Repaints from VaporZ

[VaporZ]

Good Day from Québec !

I am now releasing a series of repaints I have made for the Kirk Oslsson's superb FS9 Mirage F-1C-200.

During the first 15 years of operational carreer with the French "Armée De l'Air", Mirage F-1C-200 were very colorfull, including french national roundels with yellow outline, red and yellow walkway lines, red painted intake lips and full colors squadron markings.

My first release is for "30-FI / 205" Mirage F-1C-200, 30e Escadre De Chasse, Escadron De Chasse 3/30 "Lorraine", Armée de L'Air Francaise,
Cambrai Air Base, 1974

Stay tuned ! and Enjoy !

Many thanks VaporZ!
Je me dois d'apporter une petite correction dans la mesure où les F1 du Lorraine n'étaient pas basés à Cambrai (12ème escadre de chasse) mais à Reims.
J'ai néanmoins hâte de voir le reste des décos!

[VaporZ]

Thanks for the info Gribouill

My mistake, you are absolutly right.

I will update the historical reference on my "read me first"
instructions for this repaint.

And I have reopen the boxes where I keep my full collection
of "Air Fan", "Air Action" and "Air Zone" french magazines for
future cross reference.

Merci encore pour la correction
Salutations

A couple of changes you'll need to make in order to get the aircraft to load:

I could not get the "clean" version to load since there was not a "clean" model in the "gmaxf1C-200" folder on my system. Since the visual model in the image above does not have the refueling probe (-200 serial numbers and up), I suspect it is found in another folder, "gmaxf1c" maybe? Will have to look into that -- might just be my system since I install and uninstall a lot of Mirage aircraft.

Very nice paint otherwise. Thank you VaporZ.

I don't have the "gmaxf1c-200" at all - but I do have the "gmaxf1c", so I used that instead.
Works fine.

Ah, I remember now. The "gmaxf1c-200" folder was part of a "light" release Kirk did at my request to provide more visual models. It came out shortly after the main FS2004 release (F1V25.zip) and the follow-on patch (f1v25patch.zip). It included a single texture set and two external models -- one with a centerline tank and one with wings tanks. It aliased the default Lear45 sounds to keep the file size down.

If you can't find "f1c200.zip" at the usual places you can get it from my website. Just look on the Mirage F1 page and scroll down to November 2005. I think I link you to Avsim's download page anyway. But that still won't get you a "clean" version. For that you'll have to use the F1C as described further up.

Good day,

Mirage F-1EDA coded "QA-76 / F", Qatar Emiri Air Force,
Doha International Airport, Qatar, 1989

FS9 Mirage F-1C-200 from Kirk Olsson

Historical reference material from Air Fan, Air Action and Air Zone french magazines, World Air Power Quarterly, Aerofax Minigraph No.17 Mirage F-1 from René Francillon

Repaint from Guy LeVasseur alias "VaporZ" / glevass21@globetrotter.net

During 1983 and 1984, the Qatar Emiri Air Force received 12 x Mirage F-1EDA and 2 x Mirage F-1DDA for its 7th Squadron.

These Mirage F-1 have a unique brown/sand/light blue camouflage, inherited from previous Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar Hawker Hunters.

Due to the very small size of the Emirate of Qatar, these Mirage F-1 were flown in a "clean" configuration most of their operational life, with the exception of their participation in the first Gulf War of 1991.

These Mirage F-1 have been later sold to Spain, to be replaced by
12 x Mirage 2000-9, 9 x single seaters and 3 x twin seaters.

My thanks to Frank Safranek for the correction informations
to the Aircraft Cfg file and other interesting matters concerning
the different versions of Kirk Olsson's Mirage F-1.

By the way Frank, I am actually working on a F-1 of EC2/5 "Ile De France"

The one illustrating your website upper left corner page here :

Best regards

If anyone's interested, these skins also work perfectly in FSX.

Very very nice repaints, again, again.

Thank you very much VaporZ

Thank you. That is one of my favorite Mirage F1 images. I scanned it
almost 10 years ago when I first started the website from the cover of
the English magazine Scale Aircraft Modeler, Volume 1 Number 4. If
you want a better image let me know.

[fsafranek]

Just a note after reading the included documents in these new repaints.

The "title=" line must be unique for each and every texture set in the file. That said, Kirk already used "title=gmaxf1C-200" so that must be changed.

Same goes for "ui_variation=" line. As the lowest level differential, it also must be completely unique for each and every texture in that folder.

Otherwise the aircraft won't appear when you go to select aircraft.

Well Franck ! ..... what a bizarre situation !

Among many reference material I acually use, I have on my desk right now
British magazine "Scale Aircraft Modelling", Volume 1 Number 4, January
1979.

As metionned before I am a Flightsimmer for the past 7 years, but I
am also a Plastic Kit Modeller for the past ..... 40 years !!!!

In fact, I have a Military Aviation "Reference Material Heaven"
downstairs !

Hello Franck
For your information

you can also like or french flightsimmers identified each unique
version by adding a single letter after "title=gmaxf1C-200"
like for example :

"title=gmaxf1C-200a"
"title=gmaxf1C-200b"
"title=gmaxf1C-200c"
etc...

with the proper following number on the Flightsim ID
and accurate ui variation ID

It works well with me.

I will update my installation instructions with more precise
information and inform everyone about it on this thread.
