Yeah ... The manufacturer of Eurofighter provides the data of his flagship machine so that the ED can make a real simulator ... This is how he provides the data of the unproduced - outdated for today Block 1 model. To make a real simulator, you need to get data describing the flight model, avionics and its operating parameters, and much more. The Americans do not sell F-22 for billions of dollars, they do not share its technology with their closest allies, they do not want to share even YF-23 technology - but they are already rushing with documentation for ED so that it can make a realistic F-22 module for DCS ... Due to the fact that currently the EF2000 Block 1 is not being produced, but only Block 3, it may be possible to obtain some documentation on avionics that is no longer used, and some parameters related to the flight model. But I bet some 30% of this module is fiction. Each aircraft currently in use, modified and modernized on an ongoing basis in order to provide it with an advantage on the real battlefield is covered by the clauses> TOP SECRET <and no complete documentation will be made available to anyone. And even the pilots flying these planes are not able to assess their limit capabilities and parameters, even if only the flight model. They can provide information, share their observations, but still these are not specific technical data. So it will be something that is subject to INTERPRETATION - full of imagination and presumptions. Therefore, in the DCS, the second-war modules of the Korean war period are real, modules such as the MiG-21 - based on the documentation provided by the old allies of the USSR currently on the other side, the MiG-23 will also maybe quite faithful, the F-4 Phantom too. F-14 why not share its documentation, since he is no longer there and will not come back. F-16? A few more months he had nothing to do with the actual flight model, now he is starting to do. But avionics is about 10-15 years behind what the actually offers today. F-15C - OK, not produced for a long time and obsolete - another version of E, the question is how much real information about its avionics has been obtained, but it will again be about 10 years back. And here we start talking about modern aircraft - F-22? F-35? EF2000 Bock2 / 3, Grippen? Rafale - even with Mirage 2000-5 there is no certainty about the data ?? Let's establish what means "more modern / new modules? Each of the ones listed at the end will be 30, 50, 80% fiction ...

Every day I fly in a modified painting for the needs of "our" Polish 304 Virtual Fighter Wing:

But do you know that Block 1 is basically nothing but the equivalent of the old F-15C after MSIP modification? Again - I wrote about modern fighters / airplanes so Eurofighter Block1 is not one of them;) F-22 - similar in age to EF2000 but technologically superior to it - and still is "super secret". The F-35 is of a completely different technical quality - maybe the EF2000 Block 3 can be compared with it, as with Rafale's latest versions. So I will repeat once again - if someone dreams about the newest "machines" in DCS, they will be 100% fiction and inventions, not a simulation of real planes.

And you think the DCS F-16 flight model is realistic? Until recently, it was closer to the Star Wars universe, today remind me how many years after the release of this module, it is better ... So before you score the bad Gazelle flight module so much, think about how many of the modules in DCS are actually close to the real parameters of fly ...

F-15C LN 86-172 from Lakenheath base:

If someone expects modern machines in DCS - I don't know, maybe F-22? F-35? B-2? For the latest versions of Grippen or Eurofighter, I personally prefer X-Wing or TIE Fighter because these two will be closer to reality than the F-22/35 modules etc in DCS ...

Try to notch the F-15 radar when it is flying straight at you above 2 Ma ... What is notch? This is the drastic change in the speed of the target relative to the radar and "blending in with the background". When the radar is flying faster than Mach 2, even when you are flying perpendicular to it, the radar speed is still enough to separate and keep the target in the background. If someone attack in F-15 at speeds around Mach 1 --- well its his problem...

I think that we will see the official X-Wing sooner than the full F-15C module ...

You're exaggerating, gentlemen ... compare the date of Kiowa's announcement with the date of the F-15E announcement ... How many years has it been? How many years of silence and crying were there during that time - "did the F-15E wil die?" I dont think so...

Anyone who wants to take CFT off has extra sensors somewhere that they won't be able to put on. Do you know why? Because all those who want removable CFTs want the clickable F-15C. They just don't understand that the CFT photo won't make an "E" version like this "C".

Explain to me what is in the 15-16 line... https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-15-specs.htm

Such a long night, lasted over a year, but I can see that you are already up;) Good morning;)

Well, I have learned to be patient while waiting for the F-15E :D

And F-15C?? This is full ColdWar module...

Rather not "if" - because it will come out - the question of when? Apparently "in a moment". So when does it come out, not if it does.

There is a question - when the F-1 comes out with Exocet missiles, will the Mirage-2000C also be able to use them? It would be logical ...

And here comes some of the questions I asked earlier: - what purpose? - what altitude of the target? - what altitude of the AI wingman? - what aspect and speed? An artificial wingman should in theory not call targets smaller than a bomber, AWACS, tanker etc with a distance greater than 80-90nM. So if he gave a bearing on said "big" machines, he could do it. If it gave a 150 - mile distance - which turned out to be a jetfighter - it means that, as in every game, AI "sees better / farther" than human-guided machine systems.

You can modify the cockpit textures - I don't know if there is a mod, but you can do it yourself.

How did the wingman determine the distance to the target based on the RWR?

I'm paying some honor to you - but you still haven't exceeded Mach 2.606 in the video;) Granted, I was wrong, it is possible to exceed the speed of 1494 knots - the film shows that by a whole 9 knots. Anyway, in the DCS F-15C it behaves "strangely" under speed limit conditions and certainly, diving from an altitude of 50,000 feet, you should be able to accelerate much more without any problems.

I can assure you that I have been flying this module for several years - I ONLY FLY THIS MODULE, I risk saying that I know it like my own pocket. I am not interested in how faithful it is to the real F-15C. I know all its capabilities as a DCS module. Currently, it is impossible to exceed the speed of 2.606 Mach / 1494 knots in level flight. Just like in "diving", you will not exceed this speed either. No matter what angle you descend, whether the is 3 degrees or 45. You will maintain a speed of 2.606 Mach / 1494 knots until you reach the altitude at which simulated air resistance due to its increase in air density begins to slow down the plane. You do not believe? Give it a try. And one more thing - if you want to check something thoroughly, turn off the wind. Because only under such conditions does it make sense. if you set a strong wind and you fly "against the wind", perhaps the DCS physicist will add a few knots. But from experience - sometimes yes, sometimes not.

I wonder how many times - in real flying - the F-15C was refueled with suspended tanks to full...

There is no chance of maintaining Mach 2.5 in level flight at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
