(Previewed April 2010)

Nick Black wrote this week to say that he is working on releasing all of the Mirage 2000s of the
Armée de l'Air. He will be doing this working with the scenery designers, AFCAD and AI programmers,
and beta testers at
Military AI Works (MAIW). He is releasing the project in seven packages.
This page will be updated as more information is available and as the individual packages are released.

August 2019 Update: It has been nearly a decade since this original series of aircraft/airbase packages, built around the AI Mirage 2000 by Fernando Martimez, started being released. To extend the life of the Mirage 2000, Mark "Tranquil" Beale has taken on the task of creating new "aged" base textures and has repainted the entire Armée de l'Air Mirage 2000 fleet. Mark then went further and researched, with the help of Fabien Raoul, the Mirage 2000 types and dispersement as of 2019. The result is a reduction from over 250 aircraft at 10 airbases back in 2010 down to 115 aircraft at 7 airbases. He has made packages with textures and traffic files for both FS9 and FSX/Prepar3D. Be sure to read the included documentation.
April 2010 Update: Graham King, with the help of Martin Gossmann from The Owls Nest, has begun a series of updates to Nick Black's Mirage 2000 textures to make them compatable with FSX. The original packages are required. Read more and download the updated textures from the MAIW Forum.

The Mirage 2000 models (C/-5,
B, D/N)
used for the project were created by Fernando Martinez specifically for AI use
and feature full animations. These popular models have been used previously
in scenery packages from
SDB Scenery and
VFAF.
