5 March 2010 - Zsolt Beleznay has painted a new set of textures for the Skysim Mirage III/5 package.  The texture set represents a Mirage 50CN "Pantera" of the Fuerza Aérea de Chile.  Only the textures are included in these sets so you will also need the base package.

28 February 2010 - Patrice Grange has created a new package for his FS2004/FSX Mirage III.  This one features textures for RAAF 75 Squadron to make it a Mirage IIIO.  Three external models are included: clean, air-to-air, and ground attack.  You will also need the previous Mirage IIIE package.

20 February 2010 - Michal Lubiscak has been working on updating the flight models of two more FS2004 aircraft of interest to this website.  These include the Mirage F1 by Kirk Olsson and the Super Etendard by Romain Lucas.  He has updated weights, flight dynamics, fuel tanks, engine parameters, contact points, and has simulated the effect of a deployed drag chute.

13 February 2009 - Edmundo Abad has repainted an older Mirage model in the colors of the Fuerza Aérea de Chile.  He then adapted it for use with CFS1.  The aircraft is Mirage 50CN Pantera.

9 February 2010 - Over the past year Michel Gérard has sent me many images of the Mirage in action from when he was an Intelligence Officer with the 2ème Escadre de Chasse at Dijon.  This first group is from a four aircraft formation of the Mirage 2000 over Corsica and Italy in 1987.

31 January 2009 - Michal Lubiscak has updated the configuration file for the Mirage 2000N by Roland Laborie/Jonathan Hilaire.  He has updated weights, flight dynamics, fuel tanks, engine parameters, contact points, and more.

24 January 2010 - Bob Chicilo has released an update for the Rafale C and M by Cyril Pioffet for use with FS9.  The package updates the flight dynamics and instrument panel gauges.  Since it is an update it requires the Rafale base aircraft.  Several repaints are also available for this aircraft.

19 January 2010 - Peter Dooley wrote to say that he had good news regarding his Mirage F1CZ simulator.  The SAAF invited him to come over to the local airbase and strip ALL the parts, switches, panels, and believe it or not, a complete intact Martin-Baker Mk 4 ejection seat for the F1CZ simulator he and his brother David built.  The real thing!!!  They also gave him the seat's 'gun' section with slides for mounting the seat into the cockpit.  "Without the cartridges which is just as well as I don't need any holes in my ceiling."

"For safety and security reasons, the ejection seat was rendered unservicable prior to release and they also removed the entire firing mechanism, links, cables, cartridges, etc.
All other components, although genuine parts, are factory modified simulator parts from Dassault and we have now further modified these to connect directly to the computer interfaces used in our commercially certified WX-400 range of full cockpit simulators."

14 January 2010 - Similar to the startup sequence and other videos he made for the Skysim Mirage III/5, MirageIII2009 has made a series of videos for the Mirage 2000 by Rollus13.

9 January 2010 - Gérard Finaltéri, Webmaster of Virtual Cors'Air, wrote to tell me he has a new URL address for his website and to let me know about a new scenery for my favorite French Air Base -- BA 126 Solenzara.  2010 is already starting out to be a great year.

1 January 2010 - Happy New Year!
