The F-15C is lighter and more agile than the F-15E. The F-15E has a reinforced airframe structure which weighs almost 3 tons more. The F-15E without CFT tanks and with A-A armament will never be an equivalent of the F-15C These two planes have completely different flight characteristics.

Is there a working emergency stop system at any airport in DCS today? No. So, for what the working tail hook if nothing can catch it? Its all i this theme.

Explain to me what am I exaggerating? Except that pathe and update come out every now and then, where there is no word in the changelog about the F-15, and miracles happen with the radar in this module? In the last year, it has been about 4-5 times like this. Officially: "this patch did not change anything on the F-15" - in fact the radar "died". And so every now and then.

Maybe it's time to just learn to fly it? The F-15C in the DCS accelerates easily, maintains the speed at 250-300 kts at altitudes up to about 35 ooo feet. Unfortunately, it is not a "supercruise" plane and will not keep speeds above about 0.8-0.9 Ma without afterburning. I have zero curves, I fly it without any problems with energy loss. If someone cannot fly, they always have a problem with speed, AoA and energy loss. Aa forgot - all this with 6 AiM-120 and 2 AiM-9 and often with two under-wing tanks. Above 30,000 feet, the presence of the tanks from time to time forces "support" with an afterburner, but it is only a matter of a few seconds. No problem without the tanks.

I have never had problems like this, and neither do I currently. More pissing me off is that the radar now has is like having cataracts again and since big holiday you can see something over 40 miles on it. (Pierwsze słyszę o takich problemach jakie opisujesz. Wygląda raczej na problem z konkretnie Twoja kopią DCSa może przeinstaluj go. Bardziej wkurzające jest to, że znów radar jest prawie ślepy i jak złapie coś powyżej 40 mil to jest wielkie święto. Co wychodzi jakiś pacz który nie dotyczy F-15C od razu syfi w F-15 radar... )

Are you doing this in the "section" axes?

On fast In Wiki: ""In 2013, the USMC was studying potential enhancements to keep the AV-8B Harrier IIs up to date until its planned retirement, such as a helmet-mounted cueing system. It is also predicted that additional work on the aircraft's radars and sensor systems may take place. The USMC's Harrier II fleet was planned to remain in service until 2030, owing to delays with the F-35B and the fact that the Harriers have more service life left than USMC F/A-18 Hornets.[58] However, by 2014 the USMC had decided to retire the AV-8B sooner because changing the transition orders of Harrier II and Hornet fleets to the Lightning II would save $1 billion. The F-35B began replacing the AV-8B in 2016, with the AV-8B expected to continue service until 2025. Meanwhile, the AV-8B is to receive revamped defensive measures, updated data-link capability and targeting sensors, and improved missiles and rockets, among other enhancements.""

Simple question: How many enemy planes did shotdown EF hit in real combat and how many F-15s? How many losses did EF and how many F-15 suffered? As of today, EF is an expensive toy that has not proved successful even once. Exercises, proving grounds, training, simulations ... Perhaps EF is better than the F-15 ... in a simulated fight for today ... answer yourself ... What is there to discuss? You compare what the result would be in a fight between an airplane used in real combat, with real airkills, and an airplane that basically stands on a shelf between books ...

When I read such posts, I am 100% sure that people who ask about the Fly-by Wire (FBW) system have no idea what they are asking. Maybe instead of asking stupid questions, it would be better to read a little about this system, what it is, why it was created - I assure you that no more questions about whether the MiG-19/21/29, F-15C, etc. have this system ... Tragedy, intelligence of mankind is collapsing overnight ...

Yes it bait... Answer two simple questions for me: Why are airplanes loaded with radars whose specifications and operating parameters guarantee the detection of air targets at distances up to 160-300 miles? MiG-25/31 or F-14 also do not see and are not able to direct missiles at targets distant from them by 100-200 miles? Will you now prove that these planes are alien technology and that no Earth plane could and cannot do that? It just so happens that during the Cold War I had the opportunity to see differences in the size of objects detected by both early warning and airspace control stations on the border of the "iron curtain". Do you know from what distance you could see, for example, the SR-71? Do you know what is his the reflectivity of radio waves? I perfectly saw the difference between it and, for example, the F-4/16/15 or the Tornado flying over the former West Germany and the MiG-21/23/29 flying over East Germany and Poland. More than once I have talked with MiG-21 and MiG-23 pilots who on their on obsolete radars easily saw Swedish or West German planes when they flew near East Germany and Poland and F-4/16 or Viggens flew over their countries at distances of 80-170 miles. So that the MiG-21/23 in the years 1980-1990 had better radars than the F-15/16 ?? Comparing what the DCS gives in the F-15 and F-16 modules, it is not half the capabilities of the MiG-21/23 radars in actual aircraft from those years. MiG-21 from 11 PLM from Dębrzno flying over the territorial waters of Poland were able to "see" Swedish planes on their radars - distances from 40 to 80 miles. MiG-23 from 23 PLM from Redzikowo calmly monitored planes over the continental part of Sweden on their radars. Distances up to 100-130 miles. The same goes west over West Germany. It turns out that the F-15, considered to have the best and most effective radar of that period, according to what we get in the DCS, does not match the MiG-21 and MiG-23 super radars. And it's not about the ability to attack with a rocket - but about the ability to detect a target itself. Currently, in the "face to face" aspect, the F-15C radar can detect a maximum of a Su-27-sized fighter from 60-70 miles. And "stupid Americans" in 1980-1985 considered assigning the F-15 the role of a tactical "mini" AWACS that could guide other planes to targets detected by its systems. as you can see, the MiG-21 and MiG-23 were much "better with these bricks". Do you want to discuss further with what radar systems did and could do in the real world? What I wrote here are REAL observations taking place at a specific time. Zero Wikipedia. The ground air traffic tracking and control system located 20 km from the 11 PLM airport in Dębrzno was able to track the SR-71 from West Germany at the height of Hannover to Moscow. Attempts to intercept it took place from the border of East Germany and throughout Russia. I myself witnessed the MiG-21 being scramble up from Debrzno several times for this very purpose. Of course, totally unnecessary. But the pilots confirmed that they were able to catch BlackBird on their radars from 50-60 km away. (25-35 miles). The DCS F-15 would probably have to stick the radar shield into the SR-71's butt to see it. It all. Live on the belief that the F-15C cannot detect a target beyond 70 miles and fire at it - whether effectively or not - from more than 35 miles. For me EoT. DCS is most real simulations... Currently, F / A-18 has the best radar and the rest of the modules should be nerfed to its level ... Then we will have a super simulator of World War II air combat on more or less modern airplanes ... and who needs a radar?

The effective range of the missiles is set by manufacturers in "medium" optimal conditions. What does it mean? That, depending on the conditions, it can be significantly shortened but also significantly lengthened. F-15C fighter flying on 50 000 feet altituda at speed Mach 2.2-2.5 firing AiM-120C to a target with an RSO of about 10-15 square meters, who flying 20 000 feet lower without maneuvering (bomber, heavy fighter) it can easily hit a distance of 80-100 miles. The same fighter will not see and no hit the target be 20 miles away with the same AiM-120 rocket if its RSO is less than 1 square meter, and high speed and do much maneuvering. If someone thinks that radars in today's airplanes (or in fact since the 1990s) "see" only for 70 miles and that rockets in combination with them allow you to attack air targets only from a distance of less than 40-30 miles, it probably has no idea at all on radar, aviation and military technology at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. Planes without radar armed with infrared missiles guided by ground controllers are more than enough to attack a target from a distance of less than 40 miles. But I thought that the times of "domination" of the MiG-21 and F-5E or A-4 ended a long time ago. But as you can see, today the "norm" in DCS is not the actual work of systems and weapons, but the "artificially" created reality based on historical fights such as during the Desert Storm or other conflicts, where the American air force have huge advantage and did not must to attack / defend themselves at distances that are safe for their aircraft. Since in 1991 in Iraq 90% of the shotdowns making by F-15 were shots with Aim-7 Sparrow at distances of up to 20 km, according ED the AiM-120 probably couldn't be better ... Then we have radars and rockets fully operative on 40-70 miles only. Embarrassment. For what from 1980 to today producers mounted in airplanes radars and systems searching and targetting in airspace on 160-300 miles ? For what, ED implementing in modules radars with search ranging above 100mil? Today this is usseless.

Something like this: 1998 year... little sonner than RAZBAM

The last patches officially did not apply to the F-15C module. Even so, they broke the work of the radar in this module. If someone does not understand this, what can I do about it? The truth is that the last patch fixed what the previous ones broke. Although once again, it officially did not change anything about the F-15C module. Apparently, the coders don't really know what dependencies have developed over the years of changes between modules. Changing something in eg Mirage2000 simultaneously changes something else in other modules completely unconsciously. Today, the radar in the F-15C is working again as it should. There are no problems detecting fighter-sized targets at distances of 70-90 miles depending on the target's and F-15C's flight conditions / parameters. Detects conventional bombers (Tu-95 / Tu-142) from 150-160 miles. And let it stay that way.

The radar in the F-15 does not work as it should, the rockets have ranges of 1/3 and 1/2 smaller than they should be, and someone is bothered by the inability to change the barometric altitude, without which you can fly and land without any problems for years, regardless of the weather. The F-15C is not an airplane that should fly over the ground or over mountain tops. And when landing in complete fog, ILS is sufficient.

Nothing has been changed in the radar and AMRAAMs but the radar is suddenly blind and the rockets are useless ... somehow from two or three days ago, the last "minipatch" has "repaired" radar and rockets? I have idea - Maybe instead of writing that nothing has changed, check?

You mean something broke in the last update? Something like recent problems with DCS stability or multiplayer servers in exchange for new clouds?

I will not write the same again - that's why I will post a link. In fact, maybe I should write here right away, but I think that the problem is not the radar and rocket model itself, but the latest updates and patches that broke something in it.

The fact that in DCS the radar in the F-15C module never reflected the real thing, I know from the time it came out But the last one year or so, it worked in an "acceptable" way. It detected targets the size of a bomber in favorable conditions at distances of 110-120 miles, fighters of the Su-27, MiG-25/31, MiG-23 at distances of 70-90 miles. Pretty good by DCS standards. The day before yesterday, yesterday and today detects nothing more than 60-70 miles. I wrote about rockets and the dependence of height and speed. For a few days now, it doesn't matter what altitude or speed you fly. AMRAAM will not lock a target beyond 40 miles. Previously, when flying at 2-2.4 Ma at an altitude of 45,000-50,000 feet, the AMRAAMs could catch a target at 60-70 miles. Now it is completely irrelevant with how speed and altitude you flying.

The real APG-63 radar in version (V2) with which the F-15C planes were equipped at the turn of 1990-2000, according to the manufacturer's data - Raytheon - allowed to detect a target with the RCS coefficient of 1 square meter from a distance of 145 km - 78 miles. The Su-27 has an RCS coefficient of approximately 15 square meters. A target of this size should be detected by this radar from a minimum distance of 170-180 km - 90-100 miles. Aircraft with a factor similar to the F-15 and F-14 - RCS 15 square meters to 25 square meters should be detected from 90-100 to even 150-160 miles. Until a few days ago, the radar was working in a way that was quite acceptable. It is a tragedy at the moment. Another issue is the Active and Semi-Active rockets. According to the manufacturer, Aim-7 Sparrow in M and later versions allows you to lock the target at around 70 km - 37-40 miles. Currently in DCS Sparrow M / MH sometimes lock at 20 miles ... A farce... The AiM-120 AMRAAM C-5 enables target blocking at distances over 105 km - 60+ miles. Currently, blocking the target at a distance of 30-35 miles should be considered a success in the DCS. Another failure. Currently, the speed and height at which the projectile is fired is completely irrelevant. After all, whether it will be 1Ma or 2.3Ma and an altitude of 20,000 or 50,000 feet AiM-120-C5 will not catch a target above 30-35 sometimes 40 miles ... Thank you for navigation lights, anti-collision lights, formation lights and searchlights. They finally work and look like they should. Although the F-15C is not a "full fidelity" module, I think that a large part of people associated around DCS World this plane have a quite firmly in ours "aviation" hearts. Please try to do something about it so that its basic systems - radar and weapons - work as they should. I will just add that I know perfectly well that the range at which the rocket "catches" the target is one thing, and the probability of hitting / knocking it off is another. But to castrate the F-15C from its core strengths, which made it a Cold War aviation era legend and still is that legend, is downright "aviation barbarism" in my opinion. I know that there is a large group of users of other modules for which the F-15C is a "splinter in the eye" and the last time (about a year) after bringing his systems to as such conforming to the original was a start period of "hatred" for this module through the prism: " why the more expensive modules for which I pay a lot of money can't handle such a cheap thing like F-15C? "," How is it possible that the super hyper TomCat can't win with non-clickable F-15C ?? " Hopefully the changes to the module are a result of software "bugs", conflicts between software sections etc, and not "doing good" to people flying other modules. Please verify and possible corrections in the F-15C module. Greetings.

Yes, atomic bombs, laser cannons and, finally, a star destroyer on center pylon I suggest. <face palm for all this topic>

So... many people on this forum is a kids... Thats all...

New version UFC - LCD display is better for cockpits makers. Only one small LCD screen with keyboard its all for build this . But earlier version - red led displays is more climatic
