F-15 Landing gear, hydraulics and tail hook test/demonstration. Edit I was wrong about the Gear sequence.

One was from friendly fire and i believe it was aim-9M. you can find the story on f-16.net the other i do not know. Also I found these photos on the internet. just google f-15 damage. Edit found the friendly fire story.https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/29/us/jet-pilot-accidentally-fired-live-missile-air-force-says.html

Any one looking forward more complaint about the F-15 ridiculous durability to battle damage?

Speaking of the C I did find Where Air Force put the switch to turn on JHMCS and were they move it when PAS display put in the C. I just hope that if ED makes a full fidelity modules of the C they'll make a new cockpit for the C.

After searching google on when f-15e got the aim 9x. I manage to Stumble on a dot&e annual report on the aim 9x program. So I went to DOT&E web page and found the had and annual report on the aim 9x beginning from 1999 to 2015. I found that the aim 9x was integrated on the f-15e in 2015.2015aim9x.pdf I also found when it was integrated on F/A-18A/F, F-15C, F-22, f-35 and f-16C/D. Beginning in 2003 F-15C/D and F/A-C/D started receive the aim-9x. 2003AIM-9X.pdf F/A-18E/F Started to receive the aim-9x in 2005.2005aim-9x.pdf F-16C started to received the aim-9x in 2010.2010aim9x.pdf F-22 and F-35 Started to be integrated with aim 9x in 2015.

Unfortunately it looks like we are going to get a mid 2000s F-15E aka pre JHMCS/Aim-9x. JHMCS was integrated into the f-15e starting in the late 2000s and into early 2010s. During that time they change the function of the hotas so that it will function with JHMCS and they replaced the UFC to one found in the newer export Variants.

Currently the F-15C in the game is a Late 90s to early 2000s eagle system and avionics wise. All cockpit switches have been animated and just need to be coded into DCS. But ED may wait for razbamb to finish the f-15E and port over some of its system Since it has a lot of systems in common with F-15C. Mainly the the flight control system and air to air radar modes. the flight model should relatively similar with minor differences.
