✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community support with 136 endorsements and nearly 5k downloads
- Offers flexibility: can replace the Mirage or be added as a separate aircraft

For DCS players who own the Mirage 2000-5 and want a new aircraft to fly without buying a full module. Also for fans of the Lightning who want a visual and functional variant. Skip if you don't own the Mirage or prefer official modules.

- Use a mod manager like OvGME or JSGME to easily enable/disable the mod and avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's forum thread for any updates or compatibility patches after DCS updates.
