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

The radar screen shows your "true" speed and your "ground speed". Note that the faster you fly, the two speeds differ less and less. And at some point they are the same. At speeds of> Mach 2, the ground speed may only depend on altitude. But at these speeds, and at altitude 40 - 60K feet, difference of 10,000 feet — about 3,000 meters — will not make much difference. I'm just thinking...

In DCS, the speed of the F-15C is limited to a maximum of Mach 2.606 / 1494 knots. How high do you go to that speed - I tried at around 55,000 feet and like in this video at around 40,000, when you reach this speed and start descending more or less sharply - of course, all the time on afterburners - can't to cross that speed. This is the limit imposed in the DCS.

What's your altitude and speed? What target height and speed? What aspect of the goals? And what are the most important goals? Below are some screenshots - first target detected - Tu-95 detection distance> 140 nM / altitude ~ 36,000 / speed ~ 300 knots, - next target - MiG-31 detection distance ~ 75 nM / altitude ~ 30,000 / speed ~ 450 knots, - next target - Tu-160 detection distance ~ 85 nM / altitude ~ 39,000 / speed ~ 450 knots, - last detected target - Su-27 detection distance ~ 65 nM / altitude ~ 34,000 / speed ~ 450 knots. What do you think is wrong with your detection?? And one more thing - the AI winger? Is AWACS friendly nearby? If there is AWACS, the "AI" wingman can give you the designations/bearing he got from AWACS.

Only the last screen can be compared to the second (with the F-15C). The first and third are made from a much closer view to the HUD. Especially the one with the F/A-18C. If you "move closer" to the HUD on the F-15C, it will also be legible.

In F-15C??

Ok, so are you 100% sure that none of the people working on the SA map touches anything in the F-15E?

I do not rush anyone, I do not stigmatize anyone - I can state that in a situation where the F-15E has not been released together with the SA map, some human resources will still work on the map - I will risk a statement that the map will now be priority for the next several or several weeks - the money taken for it obliges makers to react faster to reported errors and to refine the map faster. This unfortunately means that the module we are waiting for will be developed second. So I will repeat what I have already written several times - I bet we will see the F-15E at the turn of 2022/2023 at the earliest - and personally I am focusing on 2023. I have been waiting so long, these few months do not make any difference to me Hmm... I do not think that RAZBAM employs surveyors to create maps ... rather graphic designers and programmers ... I wonder who creates the F-15E module ... let's think ... programmers and graphic designers?

RAZBAM has released prerelase South Atlantiuc map. The map is not finished, but it is already in the hands of people who constantly report problems, ask when the individual parts of the map will be finished ... In a nutshell - the F-15E is put aside again for a few months - not completely, but for sure the priority now will be to bring the map to a status of at least 60-70% of the total - so the F-15E will again have a reduced number of people working on it ...

Mby next year...

This is a very good idea, because in a moment someone will start demanding an F-15E without CFT again

Ask Strike Eagle pilots how often they practice air combat without CFT ...

You think so? Today, the F-15Cs are still flying, they are starting to slowly enter service the F-15EX, and you say that the day will come, that there will be no fighter planes (there are still F-22s) and the USAF will remove the CFT from "E" to send them to air combat ? If necessary, they will fly with CFT in Air to Air configuration and no one will take off the CFT - and you know why? Because the pilots couldn't fight without them. If someone flies for hours and masters the plane to perfection in combat maneuvers - suddenly he will get a plane wieght change, with a changed flight "model" - a simple path to failure ... Training, procedures - there is no fight anywhere without CFT for the F-15E. Difficult to understand?

Dont belive in all you find on internet... This is F-15C...

No, it could not be used for training or combat without CFT. Why not? Training - because pilots are not trained on machines that they do not fly - in this case, the F-15E without CFT. Fighting - because no one has ever shipped, or will ship an F-15E into the air without CFT in the future (except for testing, maintenance and research) Do you think otherwise? Do you think Abrams tanks can fight without a turret? I have seen such ones driving around the maneuvering yards of the factory in which they are produced - it means that they can. If someone is going to make a tank combat simulator, it should be possible to remove the turret from the Abrams ...

Someone will tell me what is going on with machine liveries in multiplayer missions? I put in the air or at the airports B737 or other A320. I choose specific liveries for them and after launching the mission they are in completely different ones? Can something be done about it?

Okay - Does the F-16 carry the AiM-120 AMRAAM? YES Has the F-16 ever meet the Su-27? YES (very often - if someone doubts, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the course of the all BALTIC AIR POLICING missions over the Baltic Sea and over Batlic Countries) Is the F-15 used without CFT? NOT.

If this is a game - it can't be stupid since so many people play it. And since this is a game, it does not have to relate to reality. So your question about the F-16 confrontation with the Su-27 is very childish. But I will tell you that there is one more aspect that you may not understand, since you treat it as a game. There are people, companies, governmental institutions that use this type of "games" as simulators to reproduce a substitute for real possible scenarios. Whether it's in terms of driving a car, a train, controlling production machines, performing surgical operations, and finally, we come to the use of civil and military airplanes. And here - it may surprise you - such a DCS can be treated as a simulator of hypothetical clashes in the air between aircraft models simulated on its platform. Under the conditions imposed by its manufacturer. And in such realities, making a machine in a configuration which no-one uses anywhere, completely misses the goal of a real use SIMULATION. And it makes much more sense to clash the F-16 with the Su-27 10 times a day, as long as they are realistically reproduced, than flying something that does not exist, except in very exceptional situations.

How much more needs to be written so that a certain (apparently significant) number of people understand that the F-15E is not the F-15C? That it is a specially designed, modified and manufactured impact version of the F-15 airframe? That no one has ever assumed using it without CFT? That its greater mass does not result from its CFT and fuel in them, but from the modified internal structural features, which, despite more powerful engines, do not eliminate its greater inertia, which e.g. caused and causes that it is not used considered a fighter for air combat. And if someone wants to "have" the clickable F-15C in DCS in this way, it probably exaggerates a bit ... especially if he thinks that DCS is a simulator and not an arcade game. Let me repeat - it's a pity to waste time and energy of RAZBAM team on such senseless and unnecessary, basically fictional elements.

I believe when I see

22 may info

Today I will check the distance from which, in constant conditions, the JF-17 is able to locate the F-15C

There are many aspects that determine how far you can "catch the spike" on the RWR. In the targeting/launch mode, the radar amplifies the beam in target direction - which means that if you are 100 km behind the target in a straight line, from which such a JF-17 tracks by another 100 km, then also you'll can catch a "spike" from summary 200 km or more.

I think no. F-15E be relase in 2023. South Atlantic map mby in this year.

Probably the problem was reported, but maybe it is worth reminding about it. JF-17 turns on the radar and the whole Caucasus knows it. On the example of the RWR system in the F-15C module and others with the FC-3 (I suppose it is similar in other modules): I compared the following AI machines vs "LIVE" F-15C: - E-3A AWACS, - JF-17, - F-14B, - F-15C, - F-16C All planes at 20,000 feet and heading "head to head". Only AWACS on 30 000 feet. All AI planes over the sea, F-15C (Me) over land also flying 20,000 feet towards the AI planes. Below are the distances at which the machines appeared successively on the RWR JF-17 - 255 nM E-3A on RWR - 230 nM F-15C - 115 nM F-16C - 75 nM F-14B - 54 nM These are dummies of AI, so the result of the F-14B is the most surprising. From experience I assume that a "human" F-14B should glow from at least 70-80 nM. In any case, this it gives a sense of injustice compared to the JF-17. It should be added that JF from the moment he appears on the RWR is constantly signaled as the greatest threat and is closest to the center of the display. In addition, it is one of the more difficult to "catch" by radar and, looking at its construction, I dare to say that it is not at all made in stealth technology. What I present below under the same conditions - the detection distance of the same planes by the F-15C radar, which probably works best for today (the closest to reality - why do I say this despite the "evidence" presented in the forum discussions regarding radar ranges? - I base it on the opinions of pilots flying F-15 and F-16 from 1990-1995 to today) E-3A on radar - 125 nM F-14B - 65 nM F-15C - 63 nM F-16C - 60 nM JF-17 - 45 nM I added MiG-21 bis and MiG-29S MiG-21Bis - 42 nM MiG-29S - 50 nM Maybe it's time to do something about it? To behave like this on RWR, he would have to have a radar from the MiG-31 at least if not the one from the E-3A ... Compared to the castrated radars in the F-16C, F / A-18C, if it is to be an attempt to balance "East - West" then it is moderately successful ... Sorry for my english
