The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engine delta-wing multirole combat aircraft capable of simultaneously undertaking
air supremacy,interdiction,reconnaissance,and the airborne nuclear deterrent missions designed and built
by Dassault Aviation.Dassault described the Rafale as being an omnirole fighter with semi-stealth capabilities.
In the plane I simulated its specific engine and avionics starting system,so please read the .pdf document carefully
(in ...SimObjectsAirplanesDASSAULT Rafale... from FFS folders).There are also short videos showing how to activate systems and select weapons
(of course there is also an easy start option- SHIFT+2 and click the option "AUTOSTART SYSTEMS AND ENGINES" :-) )
However,please read the .pdf anyway.
Important Note:
If you are upgrading aircraft,please remove the previous versions from the "... SimObjectsAirplanes" folder before installing the new version-this is complete aircrafts.

I never flew (simulated of course) a Dassault Rafale before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. So I read up on everything about the plane I could find for a few weeks before buying. Based on what I learned about this bird I feel like I have received a pretty accurate simulation here. It behaves just as I expected based on paper specs.
Very quick acceleration and can reach top speed (Mach 1.8) and beyond. Maneuvering capabilities seem to properly differ depending on load out and weight assignments. A clean load out will perform best as it should versus a loaded up Rafale will.
Compared to the Eurofighter the Rafale is a competent rival but noticeably less agile (and slightly lower top speed) especially at high speeds. I’ve had more aerodynamic and high speed stalls in this when performing similar acrobatics. Not saying this isn’t agile, it is! You just need to be a bit more cautious or thoughtful about your situation overall when doing complex acrobatics. Careless maneuvering can easily result in an unrecoverable spin or tumble. Nothing a little practice can’t overcome.
As far as looks go this is a beautiful aircraft inside and out. Excellent lighting and reflection effects. Shadows and ambient lighting cast smoothly in the cockpit.
Night lighting is just right. The engines purr and roar when reheated.
The weapon and fuel loading is done by a “Ext” drop down menu and you have full control over each hard point with some very cool weapons to choose from. The same menu controls the ladder, formation lights, and auto start function.
I can’t think of anything that isn’t well done except the fuel burn seems a lot slower than expected, but not bothersome. Totally recommend this. The price is relatively low and attractive. Get it!
