@PvPSky You're being a bit of a dick. If you want to heartlessly criticize someone's build for invalid complaints, you should at least have some good builds yourself to back it up. You don't.
@Hyattorama I tried poking around in the rotators and the gyro on the inside and inverting them after I posted my comment, but no dice. I'm not sure how to go about fixing the inverted pitch. Maybe you're smarter than me and will be able to figure it out lol
The style of ADI varies between aircraft. Almost all modern-day aircraft use a fixed reference point in the center of the ADI and a moving horizon bar (much like your contraption does). However, in the past, Soviet aircraft have used a fixed horizon and a moving reference point in the center. So in conclusion, you're pretty much right in the way you made the gimbal function, as long as you aren't planning on building any very specific Soviet aircraft with it. The only issue with your ADI here is that it's lacking a reference point in the middle altogether, which can easily be fixed, as it's just a static indicator. It's awesome that you were able to do this. I cannot begin to imagine how to make an ADI in SimplePlanes lol
EDIT: Also there's a lovely little ADI in the SimplePlanes HUD that is real-world accurate, in case you are confused by my wording
EDIT 2: I somehow just noticed that the Y axis on your ADI is inverted, but thats also a quick fix
blueprint accuracy is pretty much flawless on this thing. love engine effects. i have some minor complaints about functionality (which is likely intentional to keep part count low) and some major ones about the flight model, but this thing looks beautiful and it is no small feat. keep em coming :D
@Tessemi There is no need to be toxic. You can look up a video of the real thing's control surface actuation speed (may be hard to find a reliable video, since mirage pilots are in autopilot 90% of the time, but you can try to look for takeoff and landing vids which will show true actuation at high stick throw speeds). Alternatively, a video of the DCS module's control surfaces may be easier to find and just as good.
You will notice that just as in the video, it is quite fast. The speed may be slightly off, but it's in the ballpark. Many modern jets are like this, especially those with fly-by-wire. Contrast this to the F-14's purely mechanical hydraulic system for actuation of the control surfaces, which has a very slow speed of deflection.
@RamboJutter Hmm, I understand. Thank you, I will look into it for my next build.
@RAF1 Thank you. Fortunately the 2000 specifically has seen some success, compared to those that were hammered in the Falklands. Lol
@BlackhattAircraft Sure can :D
+1that stick is pretty cool dude
make some rudder pedals though
+1@greasytortle Thanks! I'm revamping my old Mirage so I'm using these for the same purpose. Check out my Super 530 too, I'm sure you'll love it :)
+1@Winstonlharambe Already upvoted it, pal. Awesome job :)
+1SimpleFarms :D

end his life
How.
@toxicgamer88 It is closed, but I am working on scoring your entries.
my horny detector is going off oh god oh frick
good discussion for simpleplanes comments mr social activist
Innovative as always mr sleddriver.
@iPilot Nevermind then, lol.
ANZAAC!
DCS?
Very cool build. Functionality is very fun.
ok featured man
that upvote thing is smaaaaart... stealing it now
heart eyes emoji to this one upvoted and favorited thanks
you mightve had a chance but instead you came to the forums and asked for permission smh
@Tully2001 The burden of proof falls on you. Why should I prove something when I was not the one who removed it?
@Mod Which rule have I broken and in what manner? Thanks :)
@kshatria Indeed! Good luck
@WIZARD2017 It is a mod. You must download an image to your PC in order to use it in the SimplePlanes designer with the mod.
Congrats on the feature my man
thank you for this important post
Very cool gripen
Thank you. Good luck in the grading period :D
Thank you for your entry! Lookin good, good luck in the grading period
not bad sir. love the cockpit. keep buildin
blueprint accuracy is pretty much flawless on this thing. love engine effects. i have some minor complaints about functionality (which is likely intentional to keep part count low) and some major ones about the flight model, but this thing looks beautiful and it is no small feat. keep em coming :D
y e s
change title to "Mirage 2000C Prototype" pls lol
what
now thats detail. congrats on an awesome build
Awesome craft, and thanks for your submission. Good luck in the grading period.

@Tessemi The Mirage does not use flaps, but elevons. The current speed is roughly accurate to the real thing.
teehee. goose. teehee
@TheSleepingInsomniac It does not. I am not sure why the slider appears, lol
@SpiritusRaptor Thank you man. I'll have to bookmark this comment, I've been trying to figure out how to solve both of those issues for ages
@RamboJutter Hmm, I understand. Thank you, I will look into it for my next build.
@RAF1 Thank you. Fortunately the 2000 specifically has seen some success, compared to those that were hammered in the Falklands. Lol
@PvPSky In his defense, the goal was to be accurate, lol.
@PvPSky Thank you friend.
@Shippy456 Haha. Thank for your praise.
@BrendenDaPrince It is released.
@RailfanEthan lel
@RailfanEthan not welcome. downvoted.
