SSW Mirage F1 on the works

[SSW1]

I would also like to say thank you I haven't bought any of your products yet but this I will definitely get. Are you likely to out the Hellenic blue camo in with this or was this paint scheme done on a different variant. Mighty actually treat myself to your starfighter.

Sorry,
afraid do not have completely understood, however is too early to know how many liveries we will do.
cheers

A very interesting feature of the Mirage F1 is the radar stick on the left console.
The stick can be moved in the horizontal and rotated in the vertical axιs.
It would be cool if we could assign the respective axes on a joystick wich supports such a function, like the thrustmaster t.16000m ( can be used also as left handed).

Great news on the C version! A CG HAF Aegean blue paint would be great! I just hope I'll be able to buy when it comes out. For some reason I still can not buy from your store with Paypal, while I can do so on other vendors.

Unfortunately is something out of our control, we asked to our PayPal agency and they reported that all is okay on their side.
Do you have a PayPal account or are you trying to buy using a credit card ?
cheers

PayPal account for many years with three verified cards registered. None worked. Anyway, I'll certainly try again when the F1 is out if not before.

may be you can try using a direct money transfer to our paypal account: info@simskunkworks.com
lets' say 10 cents, i will refund it.
In this way we can bypass the issue.

Tried like this and did not work either with all three cards. As our fellow member GB suggested to me earlier, it could be due to the still ongoing capital controls in Greece and the way your company is registered (company type) that our banks are refusing the transaction. It seems this is not the case with other vendors. Of course we can not ask you to change your company, so unless you offer another payment method customers from Greece will not be able to buy until the capital controls are lifted, if that ever happens...

 

[GB]

To clear things a bit, the capital controls block any online money transfer for goods other than "software and apps", so if SSW online store is registered in Paypal for selling other goods, the money transfer is denied by the Greek banks.

Considering that the Mirage F-1 has been an iconic fighter for the Hellenic Air Force it is worth to try assisting with this "problem", all Greek members will greatly appreciate this as we all appreciated last year's SSW generous offer.

Additionally, I suggest to our friendly SSW team to not forget some (or all) of the unique Hellenic Air Force in service and anniversary liveries and primarily the Hellenic Air Force peculiar 4 x AIM-9 P4 configuration (2 AIM-9P4's at the wingtips and 2 AIM-9P4's at the outer underwing pylons usually used to carry ECM pods for all other users). This configuration gave the plane increased persistence in CAP missions since it was the only one having the ability to load 3 fuel tanks and 4 Air-to-Air Missiles.

Nice to see other F1CG fans here!
2 more suggestions.
1) An English labeled cockpit is must have. Here are some photos
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2357186#post2357186
2) some F1CG's had on the right side names of greek islands in ancient greek style letters format (on the standard blue / silver paint sheme).
Please please do at least Nr. 115 ''ΛΗΜΝΟΣ'', it means a lot for us ... .
Will post photos with other islands also

Very excited to read that the C model will be made first. Many operators and thus many repaint opportunities.
In addition to the many French squadrons there was Greece as already mentioned (F1CG), Jordan (F1CJ),
Kuwait (F1CK), Morocco (F1CH), South Africa (F1CZ), and Spain (F1CE).

Good times are coming.

Thanks to all for clarifications.
The thing is odd since we have others Greek customers that do not show this problem, SSW is registered as selling, Entertainment->Video Games software.
However we contacted our Pay Pal national referee, that did some actions, please try once again, we want to solve or clarify thiis issue.
Thanks

BTW:
As we did for the FRF-104 G we will make liveries for almost all nations that used such plane, further more, as we do for all our planes, a good paint kit will let space to other painters to do their job.

Not all other users. Spanish Mirage F1C/E/M were also modified to carry 4 sidewinders.

Tried sending you ten cents right now and it worked! Whatever you did seems to have solved the issue. Thank you very much for your persistence in this! Now to wait for the F1 or think about taking advantage of the last days of your sale.

Edit: Normal purchase also worked fine as I got the F-104G and Tornado using your sale coupon. Problem solved! Thanks!

A lagarto (lizard) paint scheme is a must for the CE version.

What version will be modelled? (there are several diferent cockpit layouts AFAIK).

We are following below documents, going to an F1 C(E) with retrofit with better avionics, in the future we plan to go for the ground attack version (F1 E)
Hopee this clarify.

The Mirage is looking great!

Incidentally, does anyone know how to register for the SSW forums? I bought their F-104S and Tornado recently, and all I can find regarding the forum is a statement in the activation email I got saying "SSW Forum account available upon request.", but I'm not finding where to actually request access anywhere on their site.

Hi,

On the home page there is a link saying "Contact us" right next to the "Home" link, (directly below the Skunk picture).

Just send an email, I suppose with your request and purchase details.

Cheers,

Looking forward to this great bird. Sure I will buy it. And, by the moment, I will keep on training
