There are repaints that are standard but "nice". USAF F-15C, French Air Force Mirage 2000, IAF planes, etc. But the vast majority of modern fighters are just grey. And the F-15E serving in the USAF is a perfect example of boring gray

apart from occasional liveries, all standard ones are as they are, plain and boring.

I don't think so... Unless he's shooting with the radar off...

"One od the..." You understand this? M2000, MiG-21, F-86,MiG15, MiG-19, AV-8B, AJS-37 mbu A-10 - this most completeted module od Jetfighters on DCS. F-16, F/A-18, JF-17, Has permanent changes and full conception on progress.

5 minutes later means you are no longer needed where you were supposed to be. When it's close to its target, it's on the ground... unless it's towing a fuel trailer to keep its engine running for the full 100Nm of flight... I doubt it... Still the F-15 will fire the first missile at longer range and will have time to fire another while the EF2000 fires its first... The F-15 is an air superiority fighter, but also a typical "interceptor". This means that it is guided to the target or around it using airspace surveillance systems. And since its pilot knows that there is an enemy out there, he can easily accelerate while being far enough away so as not to risk an attack from a short distance. 70 Nm from the target, the missile is long on its way - I'm sure the F-15 will easily find the target with its radar at 100-80 Nm. I skip the use of datalink and AMRAAM D which can be guided by other radars. So any rocket can be launched with a huge advantage of distance and speed. Ha Ha Let's arrange for any PvP server where we will be 100 miles apart now I bet that only TomCat will have any chance when it comes to DCS and then on TrackView you will see that I won't dive while running away from your rockets, no I'll speed up and do not do some weird dodges - none of your rockets will hit... And once again I see some strange habits of "aggressive" maneuvers to escape from a rocket fired from a long distance while flying at high speed... Also, I invite you to some server ;D I bet none of you have ever fought above Mach 2 in DCS... What you're writing are some wild theories I will not relate to the reality of this matter because I am not a fighter pilot and certainly not an Eagle pilot. But in DCS, as I see, you have no idea about BvR combat Or you fly F-16, F/A-18 modules that are completely unsuitable for this type of combat in the reality of DCS ... Hence these "aggressive" maneuvers to escape rocket... In BvR 1v1 total stupidity... F-16 in DCS is good in BvR???? As I can see you don't really know what BvR is... Speed, speed and only speed, I don't need any acceleration in DCS... I need distance from potential position to target 130-100 Nm and speed combined with altitude. No F-16 will think about jump Also, I invite you to some server, You see what BvR is all about...

The F-15 has only one "multifunctional" display, the one on the left "bottom". The second is not a "something" display, but a radar monitor. You can't do anything with it without "digging" the module's software configuration and I don't really know what you want to display there? On the right you have the RWS display - this round one, on the left at the top only the radar monitor and below it the monitor on which you can actually operate the stores, display data from the available aircraft systems. So much.

Explain to me what's the point of accelerating, since I can fire a projectile from a greater distance because I have more speed? I have the impression that a lot of people here have no idea what BvR combat is really about... acceleration and maneuverability are not important here, only speed and altitude at the time of launching the missile. The F-15 doesn't need to reach Mach 2.5, it just needs to fire the missile at Mach 2.3, and that alone gives the missile a range advantage and maneuverability margin. Since AMRAAM D has a range of around 80-90 Nm - it means that launched from a height of 20 km at a speed of 2.2-2.3 Mach will have this range higher by about 20% The only important issue that can tilt the chances of victory is the question of how far the radar of which aircraft will allow you to effectively detect, mark and attack the target. And here again I will risk that the F-15 radar is probably a "more powerful" radar. Maybe less modern but definitely stronger - sending a stronger beam.
-
Still the EF2000 is much slower, and addition, the F-15 has a greater combat range - it can prepare the situation for an attack much longer than the EF2000, so it has no chance in BvR. Meteor vs AMRAAM 120D - basically the same missiles, similar ranges, speeds, etc. The F-15 still has a kill ratio of 104:0. I still say that the only fighters that can threaten the F-15 family in real combat are "stealth" fighters. Anyone else could be equal to or even better than the Eagle in maneuvering combat, but not in BvR.

There is one more issue - veeeeeery rarely the pilot leans his head against the headrest of the seat. -

In VR it's OK as long as you don't mess around with moving the point of view away. If you set yourself in a "reasonable place" in the cockpit and don't mess around with any unnecessary adjustments then you always see the HUD of the same size in the same place. As long as you can see the "mirror" of HUD. And it's the same in reality (I base it on the experience with the MiG-21 HUD - basically the HUD "gunsight"), the size does not change, nothing "goes out" of the mirror, etc. The HUD is always in the center of the mirror. In fact, whether you move your head closer or away from the cockpit, you see everything the same. -
Aha... that is a text appearing on the forum in 2008, sounding more or less like this - >>Yes, the AH-64 will appear in DCS someday, but for now we don't even have plans for a test team<<, Or >> We are planning to release the Mi-24 in DCs<< It is equivalent to the text from September 2012 about F-15E which is the official statement of RAZBAM - >>This takes us to our current line of scheduled projects for DCS world, also known as the “list” , which I am pretty aware some were laughing about and mocking us. Every single aircraft named in that list got a 3d mesh to back it up and it´s approved by Eagle Dynamics on our license agreement, or contract as a 3rd party content developer. Which takes us to the current rumor mill on events regarding the F-15 E Strike Eagle. While as a serious company, I can not debate our business decisions out in the open in forums, it was consulted with Eagle Dynamics and approved by Eagle Dynamics, and as such, it´s in “the list” as well. It was not a “I got hold of this gorgeous cockpit mesh, let´s get it into DCS and make some $$” kind of move. It was a business move based on available resources, time to make it happen, and most if not all, a market for it. It ´s a decision based in the fact that it will put us faster into DCS than starting our own from scratch, allowing us to show you what we are capable of, and let you decide if it´s worth to get more products under the RAZBAM badge or simply ignore us and move to the next one. And yes, it´s going to be DCS level, with all the bell and whistles and it´s currently, as I type this, being worked on by a team devoted SOLELY to this aircraft.<<< ???????????? I don't think so... And I will add that this is only a part of the entire statement ... so ... I don't think any of the modules have a longer time from OFFICIAL announcement to release than the F-15E Might as well on the first day of Flanker 2.0 release Wags or anyone else could have announced that we'd be making most of the popular fighterjets and helicopters in the future... What am I to assume that everything has already been announced in 1999?
-
Apart from the fact that the statements - "probably", "most likely" are very sensible and specific, everything depends on the context in which they are found.

Well, even if the weight of the F-15C is different and the F-15E is less than three tons heavier than it, even if the F-15C weighs 100 tons, the power-to-weight ratio for the F-15E with 229 engines will still be higher. The weight of the F-15C doesn't matter, but the difference between C and E in weight and engine thrust. So whether it's 15 tons and 18 tons or 150 tons and 153 tons, the power to weight ratio will always be higher for the F100-PW229 versions of F-15E. So versions of the F-15E with 229 engines have a higher power-to-weight ratio than the F-15C. Of course, this whole dispute is purely academic, because in practice the F-15E is always MUCH HEAVY than the F-15C.
-
No, I think that in the MiG-29, Su-27/33 modules it was added by ED on purpose, like many other cool things, to level the chances of these modules with western ones in the fight There was definitely nothing like that in the MiG-21 in reality as I remember Unfortunately, I don't remember what it looked like in the MiG-29 before they were integrated with NATO systems in our aviation ... But it was sooo long, looooong ago ...

The rest he will do himself, with his own radar
-
I'm not attacking you, but my whole life is connected with technical professions, design, measurement, etc. And there is no way that replacing the wiring, radar, on-board computers, even fuel transfer systems in the airframe will change weight by the value about you write. Despite everything, I bet that this instruction is either burdened with errors or gives data that is classified differently. Let me repeat - the difference in weight between the F-15C and F-15E airframe does not exceed three tons. As far as I remember, the F-15EX is heavier by about 3.5-4 tons. But here the structure of the wings is even more strengthened.

About the F-15C HUD view angle, a question to the experts
Nahen replied to Katmandu's topic in F-15C for DCS World
If my sons let me take the goggles from them I was flying a while ago and I remember that the HUD - its behavior and visibility from different angles and distances were completely different than what is on the monitor with trackIR. I'll try to capture the goggles tomorrow I already told one of my sons about it today but somehow he tactically "forgot" -
About the F-15C HUD view angle, a question to the experts
Nahen replied to Katmandu's topic in F-15C for DCS World
I recommend VR goggles, it's as it should be Unless you mess with the settings somehow drastically. -
So in the last 15 years suddenly the F-15C, out of production for 37 years, changed its weight? Pretty interesting theory... Maybe show a scan of this manual because, to my knowledge, it is the only study in which there are different airframe weights than those provided by the manufacturer and any other sources ... The weight of the E J, I, SLAM and other versions may be different than the pure F-15C due to, perhaps , modifications such as those in Israeli aircraft. But it still doesn't change anything in the case of the C version. Just like in the E version, the airframe structure as such changed only in the production process of this version and redesign - strengthening the structure of the fuselage, wings, and this changed the weight by less than three tons. I dare to assume that if the weight of the airframe itself changed so drastically, then the F-15E would certainly have much more powerful engines than those they have today.

If I get it, I'll be happy, and today I'm waiting patiently even if I have to wait another 10 years

Well, where would I check, the mass of the EMPTY AIRFRAME in the E version is 31,600 - 31,700 lbs ... And the F-15C, regardless of the version - I don't know if you know, but the MSIP modification is a modification of the avionics, radar, etc., and not the airframe structure - neither wants to be anything other than about 28,500 - 28,600 lbs. So I don't know what data you have... Maybe you're talking about operational weight? With fuel? The difference in weight between the F-15C and F-15E structural airframe is "only" less than three tons, no matter how you search, you won't change it. Internal fuel capacity F-15C 2,070 US gal (7,836 liters) F-15E 2,019 US gal (7,637 liters) F-15C, max internal and external capacity 5,400 US gal (20,441 liters) F-15E, two CFTs and 3,610-US gal (2,304-liter) tanks 5.349 US gal (20.246 liters) weights Empty F-15C 28,600 lb (12,973 kg) F-15E 31,700 lb (14,379 kg) F-15C interceptor with four Sparrow AAM 44,630 lb (20,244 kg) max takeoff F-15C with three 610-US gal (2,309-liter) drop tanks 58,470 lb (26,521 kg) with four Sparrow, four Sidewinder, and full CFT 59,500 lb (26,989 kg) with CFT and external tanks 68,000 lb (30,845 kg) F-15E 81,000 lb (36,741 kg)
