Miltech Simulations reveal Mirage 2000C release, roadmap for 2025

The developers behind several notable military focused aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 have revealed their roadmap for 2025 with several announced projects and a few surprises. One revealed project is the Mirage 2000C (or M2K-C in their marketing efforts).

Mirage and more

Part of the newly announced Miltech Fighters line-up focused on 3rd and 4th gen fighters, Miltech Simulations have announced and shown off a teaser trailer for their M2K-C project. They report plans to offer competitive levels of systems depth, graphics and semi-functional weapon systems.

The M2K-C project is slated for a release this month along with two new scenery offerings and one updated scenery.

Their roadmap reveals that they also plan to release an unannounced military helicopter in Q1 2025 with an included “action pack” featuring scenery and missions. In Q2 or Q3 they intend to offer Miltech Fighters #2 with a similar featureset to the M2K-C project. Also in the same quarter is a CH-53 helicopter with scenery, missions and loadout capabilities plus another unannounced project.

The team are also working on updates to Aerial Refuelling Pro and the U2S and U2R spyplane project. Development is reportedly at 80%.

Updates are also planned for previously released products including their C-17 (included in MSFS 2024) with a livery pack, support for in-flight reverser operation, and more.

    Mirage – NICE!

    I couldn’t care less about the weapons until/unless they actually do something. Just give me 3 big gas bags and let’s go cruising!

    I really do hope they capture the M2K’s rather excellent auto-pilot and “ILS” synthetic runway visualization – that is so cool in DCSW.

    The unannounced helo & jet background images look an awful lot like an MH-60 SeaHawk and a Hornet/Super Hornet.

    If so, both would fit in rather nicely with their extensive naval systems line up!

    Love that they’re pushing through with extensive updates for the C-17. Though it seems very well done, it doesn’t seem to have garnered as much praise as the similar Airbus A400M, which has proven to be quite a good addon.

    Though that could easily be down to iniBuilds better marketing and greater familiarity with Airbus architecture, along with flight simmers being largely pro-Airbus these days (none of which I consider to be a “bad thing” 😉 ).

    SO HAPPY that they seem to have worked out the in-flight thrust reverser usage (they had said this was an MSFS sim limitation).

    They’ve brought some very interesting and useful addons to the sim, and

      …I’ve been pleased with their work so far. They definitely expand the opportunities for interesting activities in the sim! 🙂

      I’ve flown both the C-17 and A400M though not extensively. The A400 definitely benefits from feeling and operating a lot like a modified A320 while the C-17 is its own thing. It’ll take some time to get to know both but I think Miltech did a good job on it.

      Mirage 2000 will hopefully be well done and have those extra cool features. The runway visibility isn’t something we see even on the airliners!

        I am late on this one … but that’s not accurate. The PMDG 737NG – if equipped with the HGS (or HUD), if set up properly, and performing a CATIII approach (fundamentally means both autopilots armed and on, and both radios tuned to the ILS LOC) will provide runway visualization lines on the display around 300 ft AGL as you approach. Given that the LOC will really bring you in all the way anyway, it feels a bit redundant to be frank, but the lines do show up. P Gatacomb did a video a while back demonstrating it on the Tube.

        Most liveries however seem to have the HGS off by default. The runway lines will only appear if you enter elevation and runway length – though I suspect really elevation is needed to display the lines entered into the HGS controller on the pedestal. That said, it can be off from where the runway is – showing the wrong angle. Some bug tied to scenery – not the aircraft. Runways are sometimes visually correct, but in scenery listed as their nominal heading inside the sim, which is what causes the issue. Example – PGUM – actual heading is 063 for 6L, but gets drawn at 060, despite having the correct course entered for the ILS. The plane will fly the ILS perfectly regardless. Some airports work great in my limited experience though, and Guam doesn’t actually have an ILS capable of CAT3 anything anyway.

        I believe the 787 can do it as well, though I don’t recall if Working Title implemented it in the 2020 incarnation of the Dreamliner. I cannot comment on the upgrades made for 2024 as I have not personally made the jump to 2024 yet. Probably will after the sim update coming up. Interestingly, the 777 does not have a HUD/HGS option, so that’s one oddball place the 737 has newer kit than the 777 apparently.

        Interesting. I’ve never seen that feature on any of those but I’m happy to be wrong – it’s seemingly such a valuable visual!

    Being a little off topic here but still concerning the Mirage 2000C, I think the DCS Mirage 2000C needs some rework done to it. It is starting to look a little outdated compared to newer modules so it would be a good idea for RAZBAM to sort things out with Eagle Dynamics and continue their job as an amazing DCS third party developer.
