Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Please note I'm not claiming anything here to be correct method of doing everything, I just wanted to show you guys the basic capabilities of the aircraft when it comes to air to air, but so far I'm really enjoying it, its a great little bird and I think any of you who buy it can have a lot of fun with it. Thanks for watching guys, Much Love.
oh and also, one of the reasons my Matra530s missed is due to me forgetting to wait for a green circle to appear on the HUD indicating I was within range. So I actually accidently fired those missiles outside of range.
Just for information: this Mirage F-1 module uses the ACTUAL SIMULATOR parameters and the actual performances of the real one. One of the developers is a son of a Mirage F-1 pilot. They had permission from Dassault and from our Defense Minister to use the real parameters of the real simulator and the real flight manuals in order to create an almost perfect-matching envelope and performance module. For now, let's wait for the F-1M (the Spanish Modernized model, in fact, the most advanced F-1 that ever existed) and now are serving in Draken as reds.
@@CMBelite-FR the developer (Mirage F-1 pilot's son) had an interview in youtube explaining all the project and how his father (today, Division General) and many other Mirage pilots helped about.
This is a great addition. It's a classic fighter and literally everyone who couldn't afford or wasn't politically acceptable to get the early F15 and F16 flew these things. Very versatile choice for DCS.
@@sasquatchycowboy5585 Form launch day most versions will be available, including double seaters, country-specific versions, and some rare versions of which only a couple of planes were made, it is crazy. Even the glass cockpit F1M version will be available in future upgrades. Only thing lacking is more modern weapons, but that will come with time.
So, I really look forward to your videos. I am just absolutely impressed with the information and instruction that you present while you’re making these videos. Seriously, as a previous Army and now AF flight instructor it can become super difficult to analyze, process and articulate information to an audience. Also, do you conduct your own research on the various systems and their capabilities? If so, we’ll done…we’ll done. Very impressive.
thank you very kind of you, yes some aspects of the aircraft I research and learn about myself I also am lucky enough to be surrounded by very knowledgeable people who sometimes transfer their knowledge to me.
The Mirage F1.....!! This was the first fighter aircraft that I saw in a poster back in the early '80s and made me fall in love with all the aircrafts and aviation.....😃
@MR. Boxer متفق معاك انا اقصد ان قمرة القيادة تم تطويرها وإضافة أنظمة شبيهة ب الموجودة على الميراج 2000 و رادارات متطورة عكس التى تم عرضها والتي تعود للسبعينيات اما بخصوص طائرات الرافال لن تقوم القوات المسلحة الملكية بالتعاقد مع الشركة لأن طلبها تم رفضه سنة 2008 و بالتالي سيتم تعويضها ب الميراج 2000 القادمة من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة
It was pretty good as a fighter. Manhandled Russian aircraft and scored a lot of F-4 Phantom kills in Iraqi hands. I believe it took down 10-15 F-14 Tomcats as well.
@@VisibilityFoggy Iran only has up to 16 confirmed losses of F-14s and we have data for what downed the majority of those. The F1 did not by any stretch of the imagination shoot down 10 to 15 F-14s. Iran's own SAMs downed more F-14s than Iraqi pilots did and the F1 is only credited with 3 kills on F-14s, the vast majority of losses were due to technical fault/pilot error and the subsequent crashes.
During a war that South Africa 🇿🇦 fought against Angola 🇦🇴, one South African Dassault Mirage F.1CZ flown by Johan Rankin shot down 2 Angolan MiG-21MF Fishbeds.
Awesome vid! My dad is learning how to fly the F1 for his company. he said it's one of the hardest aircraft he's had to learn, but that it's insanely fast!
what a beautiful aircraft, i cant wait to fly it. i am curious how it would stack up in a series of more conventional BFM fights against something like the viggen
I just got done watching a video about Mig-21s and F-1s going at it in Angola back in the 1980's. Now this video just got published after finishing the other video. Cool.
Shouldn't matter too much if you have a lock because the range gate will filter out most of the ground provided the target isnt right on the deck. Also this is an MTI which does have some filtering.
Great vid. I also think you've made the most quotable statement of the year; "If he opens his canopy and throws a cigarette out, the missile will go for it." LOL! Perfect.
Had a chance to sit in a cockpit of Mirage III - if I recall it right. I do not know if and how much is seat adjustable for height but I was unable to get my eyes behind sights. I think only Starfighter came close Well I'd be too tall to even have a chance to think about being fighter pilot, anyway ...
Love the Cold War and ww2 planes . The only modern one I like is the harrier . Find the hornet and f15 dull in comparison. Not flown this one yet but it seems like a slightly more sophisticated version of the f5.
Better than the NATO designation for the revolutionary fighter before it, the MiG-15. Ivan : "NATO/CIA is complete bastards! I say that name... I get sent to Gulag! "No Commissar! I did not call you that! I was talking about my airplane! Plane is Fa%$ot! Not you!!!" 🤣
Nice video Mr. Winder! It looks really nice & pretty old school, which is great. Tomorrow will be a fun day trying to learn this bird! Glad you had a chance to show it off for us. Thanks again…
I dont know why that was so funny but, when he made that comment about opening the canopy and throwing a ciggarette out and it would hit the flare, i spit my rebull everywhere. That was hilarioussssss
Got recommended videos of this since a few days ago, watched a few, and wonderes when is GS going to make a video of this. So glad to see one of my favourite fighter aircraft being made available for DCS.
Man I'm loving the older gen fighter's they're bringing to the table. Can't wait for the F-4 as I've been flying Vietnam era with the A-4 of late. Need the MiG-23, although the F-15E is priority atm, understandable as it is. Any news on the MiG-17?
I'm so excited you are using the F-1 mod. May as well leave that Matra 530 at the base and save yourself the extra fuel burn. They are largely useless against anything except large, non-maneuvering aircraft like the Tu-95 and Tu-16.

“In Soviet Russia, we don’t use flare. We use Malborovski cigarette.”
Beautiful plane.
Thats what i thougt When he said that XD
It would be pretty cool to see more generation 2 and 3 jets added like the Mig-23MLs
I believe Razbam are making one but it's not coming to DCS anytime soon
mig-23 vs f1 would be a good peer to peer fight i think
Love it! We used the Mirage F1 in the South-African Air Force for many years, have very fond memories of this aircraft.
Bit of nostalgia...
The Mirage F1.....!!
This was the first fighter aircraft that I saw in a poster back in the early '80s and made me fall in love with all the aircrafts and aviation.....😃
Lovely to see this wonderful, and very overlooked plane, represented in DCS.
I absolutely love the look of this jet and the Jaguar from the front with the gear down (0:41). They both look so damn menacing!
in morocco we have the new model of f-1 mirage 2019 new radar new electronics a whole new cockpit nice vedio keep going

Always a good day when growling sidewinder uploads. You’ve become my most watched UA-cam channel, well deserved.
very kind of you thank you.

Exited for this module. Semi red4. Lots of Arab states used it. Can't wait for the missions people will make for this on the Gulf map.
That cinematic intro was sick. It sounds like your theme song. That's what other players hear when growling sidewinder appears.
Looking forward to see how it performs in a dogfight. Great vid GS
Better to stay below the target not to brake the lock when using pulse radar without Doppler filter. Great video!
Shouldn't matter too much if you have a lock because the range gate will filter out most of the ground provided the target isnt right on the deck. Also this is an MTI which does have some filtering.
It would be interesting to see a Mirage F1 vs MiG-23 Flogger matchup, South Africa-Angola conflict.
Great vid. I also think you've made the most quotable statement of the year; "If he opens his canopy and throws a cigarette out, the missile will go for it." LOL! Perfect.
This thing reminds me alittle of the old Starfighters having that huge exhaust port...
Lmao @ "If he opens his canopy and throws a cigarettes out the missile would go for that" hahaha
Man that's a cramped cockpit, very narrow front frame on the canopy!
Love the camo livery though
ya typical french tiny cockpit

Fox-1 fight between Iranian F-14 with sparrows and hawks with Mirage F-1 would be great.
F-14 and Mirage went head to head in Iran-Iraq war!!!
I love the explanation youre doing....helps me understand sooo much better and helps me enjoy it so much more. Thank you man!
"If he opened his canopy, and threw a cigarette out, the missile would probably go for that."
Now I know how to spoof fox 2's. Thanx 4 the tip GS.
My South African heart skipped a beat... been waiting for this one for a while! ❤️🇿🇦❤️😎
I love those vintage radars! Can't wait to see 'bvr' fights in the new Phantom when it comes out!
Love the Cold War and ww2 planes . The only modern one I like is the harrier . Find the hornet and f15 dull in comparison. Not flown this one yet but it seems like a slightly more sophisticated version of the f5.
Imagine being Ivan who just created a new revolutionary aircraft for his fatherland and hear the nato calling it fishbed.
Better than the NATO designation for the revolutionary fighter before it, the MiG-15.

I love the intro and outro for this video, great work - and good flying as well 👍
Rumor is your drop tank landed upon a McDonalds drive thru. Only 1 casualty, the Hamburglar. Great job GS.
Wow this is one of my favourite fighter jets. Back in the day i built a model of it from a kit. Mig 21 as well.
That's a bit rough on the take off! I think you scraped some paint off there!
nah didn't hit anything, but I should I have been using flaps, would have helped.
Quick to the point and efficient. two thumbs up!
I want F1 vs F-14 dogfights!
YES some Sweet F-1 action! More obscure aircraft vids please!
The battle we have all been waiting for!!
Growling sidewinder making the best videos ever seen by humanity just no wonder why he grows bigger
the beat of the song went with the radar sweep at the beginning of the video. I bet unintentionally but still kinda cool.
Nice video Mr. Winder! It looks really nice & pretty old school, which is great. Tomorrow will be a fun day trying to learn this bird! Glad you had a chance to show it off for us. Thanks again…
love your videos bro. I need to make the DCS jump from War Thunder
The Mirage family always remind me of Porsche 911s for the sky, like an F-104 and an F-106 had little baby airplanes together.
I love the old school fighters! Can you do an F-16 vs. KFIR/Mirage 3 battle ala Iron Eagle style? Love the channel! Keep the content rolling!
This thing looks like it could spear the bandits to death. 😂
A little bit of my childhood… I used to live in France and see the F1 CRs taking off from the nearby air force base with full afterburner 🥰
I was a AFB ysterplaat a couple days ago saw a mirage f1 cz up close and the best part was on the nose was a Angolan mig kill
Awesome intro... goosebumps! I hope the black cockpit fix makes it into the release version... too dark in this cockpit.

Once this thing gets the Super 530F its going to be a lot more fun.
The Mirage F-1M version is expected to use the Super Matra 530D at that ( the same as the Mirage-2000C ), but one should be patient until then.
@@catfood_03_4stray 530F older than the 530D (1979 and 1988 respectively)

Great to see another mirage variant in DCS hopefully one day every damn bird conceivable will be available
Looks like a good contemporary of the SEPECAT Jaguar that we had before / with the Tornado.
It is so sweet to a TRUE Mirage F1 cockpit- instead of a cut-and-paste f15 cockpit
Awesome jet used by the south african airforce back in the day
The F1 is one rare fighter which takeoff with full flaps. But it looks like it works also with no flaps...the tyres liked it 😁
Never realized just how gorgeous the old Mirage F-1 is!
Request 4: GS in the F/A-18C vs a buddy in the Mustang or Spitfire!
Really cool video. Love when you bring back the classics. Request you put it up against any gen 4 fighters in a dog fight.

Love that plane! My country used to have them and as a kid we loved seeing them fly. Hey from South aafrica
Fighting in these old jets are so much scarier.
Dude he is flying a cigarette!
Been waiting for this plane on dcs🙌🏾😂
I had the random thought that whenever a Fighter Jet's landing gear retracts, it may never come down again.
this aircraft is just so beautiful. thanks.
Nice video my guy! Keep up the good work.
Mirage F1 vs MiG-23: South African Mirage F1s vs. Angolan MiG-23s flown by Cuban pilots. That would be interesting. :)
Watch out for telephone poles!
i would really like to see more of the mirage f1. And some history on it also would be cool.
See if you can find the book Vlamgat by Dick Lord. Lots of info on the Mirage F1 in the service of the South African Air Force.
Ive always thought F1's look badass.
OMG the F1 in the hands of GS, so excited to watch this!
5:16 Afterburner cuts out when you launch a missile? Interesting, perhaps to prevent issues from smoke ingest?
Can’t wait to add it to my collection
fps seam to drop quite a bit when you use the radar
Can’t wait for Wednesday. 1 more day to go.
