29 June 2019 - I came across a forum thread at Sim-Outhouse about using the Mirage 2000C from Metal2Mesh in Prepar3D v4.  With all of the textures we've had since its release and more to come it is nice to see she will work in a 64-bit sim.  More information can be found here and information on external configurations without needing TacPack is here.

23 June 2019 - Mark (Tranquil) Beale has painted textures for a Mirage 2000-5 of EC 3/11 'Corse' while stationed at Air Base 188 Djibouti for the 75th anniversary of the Squadron.  The aircraft has since been reassigned to EC 1/2 'Cigognes' at Air Base 116 Luxeuil-Saint Sauveur and no longer wears the special scheme.  The textures are for use with the AI Mirage 2000 package by Fernando Martinez.

22 May 2019 - Website maintenance never ends.  I've updated all of the broken "aussiex.org" (OZx) links for the Mirage III and Mirage 5 repaints of Jan Kees Blom and Richard Luycx to "Avsim.net".  If you ever find a broken link on this website please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention.

30 March 2019 - Long ago during a slow month I decided to include fictional Mirage related subjects on this website.  There have been some new Mirage F1 repaint packages released based on the original FS2000 Mirage F1 by Kirk Olsson.  The aircraft model is included but the sounds and instrument panel are aliased to the default Lear45.  The aircraft will fly in FS2004 but a known issue, as mentioned long ago on the Notes page, is that the aircraft floats on invisible landing gear and the animations do not work.  The textures represent fictional US Army 86th Division and Australian Republic Air Force units.

23 March 2019 - I stumbled upon some older scenery files I hadn't seen before for air bases in South Africa.  The first is Makhado AFB (FALM) by Jacques Botha and Frits Beyer.  The second is Langebaanweg AFB (FALW) by Jacques Botha.  Both are for FSX/P3D and will give you new bases to fly the SAAF Mirage IIICZ/DZ/EZ, Mirage F1AZ/CZ, and Cheetah C/D/E to and from.

15 February 2019 - Philippe Wallaert has made an update to the Rafale C package by Cyril Pioffet.  The original FS2002 package has been updated for use with FSX and up P3Dv3 (so 32-bit only).  Instrument panel options for standard or widescreens are included.  The flight model is very smooth and responsive.

7 February 2019 - Jens-Ole Kjølberg has painted up several texture sets for the M2K-C (Mirage 2000C) by Metal2Mesh.  The first two represent Mirage 2000H aircraft of the Indian Air Force.  One in a pre-delivery scheme without insignia and a second assigned to the 40 Wing stationed at Gwalior/Maharajpur AFS (VIGR).

19 January 2019 - New textures for use with the Mirage 2000C by Metal2Mesh have been made by saibot_20194.  The first set, referred to as grey, represents the Mirage 2000-04 Prototype in the unpainted metal scheme.

12 January 2019 - I'm admittedly pushing the boundaries of "Other Mirage" with this one.  Thomas Roehl has been modifying the FSX/P3D Falcon 20 of Arild Elverum.  One of his modifications has been to add the radome of a Mirage F1CR to make a Falcon 20 SNR used as a training aircraft by the Armée de l'Air.  This is similar to the Mystère XX SNA described for us by Michel Gérard.

5 January 2019 - Joe Laars painted a Mirage 2000C of Escadron de Chasse 1/2 'Cigognes' in a unique Air Superiority Blue (ASB) scheme.  EC 1/2 was the first Mirage 2000 unit and operated the Mirage 2000 from BA 102 Dijon-Longvic (LFSD) but is now stationed at BA 116 Luxeuil Saint-Sauveur (LFSX).  The textures are for use with the Mirage 2000C by Metal2Mesh.
