S.A.A.F. DASSAULT-MIRAGE F-1 CZ

The Dassault-Mirage F-1 was developed to address the shortcomings of the Mirage III, especially the shortcomings in handling. The F-1 CZ is the fighter-striker version of the F-1. The South African Air Force took delivery of its first F-1 CZ in 1975 and they were finally withdrawn from service in 1996. This aircraft is painted in the colors of Nr 3 Squadron of the S.A.A.F.

MIRAGE F1 PANEL FOR FS2004

The panel was designed with FS Panel Studio (available at www.fspanelstudio.com .) All gauges are in xml format.

The installation of the gauges is very easy. Just move the content of the gauge folder to your FS2004 gauge folder. Please take care NOT TO UNZIP the Cab file itself. The Flight simulator will always search for a *.cab file and unzips the file when needed. 

I designed all gauges except as mentioned. 

Panel configuration
 
All gauges have tooltiptext, so if you move your mouse over a gauge, it will give you the name of the gauge.
Sub-Panels
The sub panels all toggle with toggle gauges on the main panel.
GPS- I have used the standard FS GPS gauge
HUD - consist of digital readouts like Waypoint, DME and ETA, Altitude and Speed and Heading gauges) 
Weapons - Consist off Bomb, Rocket and Cannon counter. (A function is included that you can select the number of rockets, bombs and ammo. (This is just for the fun of it, FS2004, does not allow shooting)
Console -. Start your starting sequence with the gauges provided in the panel, all lights, starters, fuel. Etc. All gauges are marked. The brakes, spoiler, gear and throttle also works from this panel
