Mirage 2000C for FSX from Metal2Mesh ?!?!?!

[VaporZ]

It seems a new developper have decided to start a brand new family of "payware" Mirage 2000.

They will began with the 2000C and then follow with a 2000D ans 2000N and later a 2000-5F and
may be 2000-9 export version.

Hoping they have check with Dassault Aviation to have copyright authorisation ! ! !
if they want to sell them as paywares ! ! !

Lets follow their venture here :

The people behind this Mirage too have quite a bit of background. It's none other than the same folks who brought you the Iris F-15, Jayhawk and F-16 from Aerosoft. He's also a great friend of mine so I fully endorse his movement. He's a great person and one of the best modelers in the industry in my opinion.

Oooh, just as I was commenting earlier about the other Mirage release being taken away and this one looks to have much potential. I look forward to this one.

[Stefano Zibell]

I still have the Rollus one. And backups of it. Still enjoy it to this very day...

Though a C is welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome Cody,

Yes Metal2Mesh is a new company, but with old ties to the community. We bring a skill set that will have a layer in accuracy, and we wanted to do the Mirage 2000 to the best of the ability.
You will see in the upcoming months the progress of our work. We are still very early in the development, and with time we will cross the finish line with a true winner.

Thank you,
Tim

Tim, great looking model so far. Will Dassault try to stop this one like the Rollus model over marketing infringements? I hope not, as I thought the Rollus one looked superb and had no idea about it's withdrawl from the market. Anyway, I hope there was additional info I overlooked or misread regarding Dassault and the pulling of the Rollus model.

I inform you that I have hundreds of french magazines ( AirFan, AirAction, AirZone ) and books related to the Mirage 2000 family and if you need any reference material for the different "Escadrons" colors that could be helpfull for you, do not hesitate to contact me by private message.

I have both french and canadian citizenship and I personnaly know two Mirage 2000 french pilots including one who is actually flying F-16C for the Vermont
Air national Guard at Burlington IAP on a 3 years pilot exchange program.

This is the best news I've heard in ages, we so need a good Mirage 2000D/N for fsx. The old FS9 one works but these hopefully will be the full FSX banana, from the looks of it anyway!

Metal Mesh team have now a facebook page.

Take a look at the pictures of the open / close exhaust nozzle 3D model of the
Snecma engine !!!!!

Wow !

Yes, I hope they make one of the two seaters as well. I think the Mirage 2000 is one of those aircraft that, as good as the single seater looks, the two seater looks better, IMHO.

If you know/like the new IRIS F-15 Mudhen Driver, you are going to love this one, as Tim Taylor is the guy behind these models. Oh, did I mention he made other great models like the Aerosoft F-16? Wonderful stuff by Tim!

Jose.

By the way timghetta, when the time will come to 3D model your Mirage 2000 Pilot and for historical accuracy do not
forget that for 85% of the Mirage 2000 "C" operational carreer, the pilots were using the "Guéneau" helmet and the
vintage "Ulmer" oxygen mask as illustrated below.

Best regards

Thanks VaporZ, I'll let Tim know and i'll use it for the textures...

We also are thinking about using the new Helmets and Ox. Masks..

Best Regards,

[timghetta]

Sundog,
Yes we will make the 2 seater(s)

Jose,
Thanks my friend, you are great person.

VaporZ,
Yes we will do both pilots, and you know me, I like to make sure our pilots look good too.

As for why I am here, we are pretty much finished majority on the exterior mapping and it has gone off to the painter for some really nice schemes we have in-store for everyone.
So here are a couple pics of how she is looking in FSX, and thank you for your support.

Now I have the task of doing gears and then I get deeper into the VC.
