thanks guys, but I've read a lot about a-g radars, know all the theory, but can't imagine how it works in practice - from the cockpit

Look at Falcon BMS ZHeN.

 

It's an older sim graphicly but does a great job simulating the F-16 with its A/G radar. There are a number of training videos on line which shows how they operate and will give you an idea.

Its gonna be great hosing that F-15E in the F/A-18. So much real estate to shoot, the trick is going to be getting the pipper back off it once you're done :megalol:

 

That AG radar is gonna be a bit more handy, though.

 

Lol.... Don't pilots call the f-15 the flying tennis court? Or am I thinking of another? :D

That's right! Not to be mistaken for another big bird, the F-14 'Aluminium Cloud' ;)

If Razbam releases the F-15E i'll see if i can recreate some scenes from the Korean film, Return to Base

 

 

Never heard of this film sadly. Any good?

 

Hopefully Razbam would get it done :) Looking at their FSX/P3D line of products still makes me think about "only if they were in DCS as well".

The F-15E would be another perfect fit into DCS for sure, everybody would fall in love with it by learning as you go along.

This reminds me of the Jane's Combat Simulations F-15, that brings back some fond memories during the 1998-1999 days of combat simming. Along with Fighters Anthology on the side :cry::joystick:

"Flying is a great equalizer. The plane doesn't know or care about your gender as a pilot, nor do the ground troops who need your support. You just have to perform. That's all anyone cares about when you're up there - that you can do your job, and that you do it exceptionally well." :pilotfly:

Too bad the SA in F-15SA stands for Saudi Arabia and has some top secret stuff inside, but that bird would put to shame to anything for years to come, even the Hornet.

Yeah, although it would be super cool if the usaf decided to upgrade their f-15Es to this standard, and maybe upgrade the f-15c to the 2040c..

 

Why aren't we funding this jet ??

If in doubt, full afterburner...

I guess it's because the Raptor is already on the way and all of them are built so really not worth it to upgrade an "old" aircraft if it might cost more

Well they stopped raptor production, so why not fill the gap with the f-15 2040c ??

 

right ?

I think they are trying to conserve funds as we don't really need those updated eagles. The current F-15Cs, and Es are just fine and the F-16 got a big overhaul to become the F-16V Viper. Air superiority really isn't an issue right now and if ever it becomes an issue I'm guessing they will start thinking of something new or upgrading. War or threat always gives rise to new technology, ex: WW1 and WW2.

I agree

F-16V does not exist, it is a proposal.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

There is a flying version of the F-16V, it is not in production, that much is true

No one has a F-16V. Not even a prototype. If you could find the tail number we can look in F-16.net and see which block it is. I hope I'm wrong. I would love tot see the F-16 line to stay open with new version being made. But I have not seen a F-16V.

And what should they fight in DCS? Flankers?

Hahaha, stop joking, my sides hurt.

 

If a bunch of fourth gen jet aircraft are released, they better be pitched AGAINST each other, otherwise this would be boring as all hell and we´d all have to fly Co-op.

GCI: "Control to SEAD: Enemy SAM site 190 for 30, cleared to engage"

Striker: "Copy, say Altitude?"

GCI: "....Deck....it´s a SAM site..."

Striker: "Oh...."

Fighter: "Yeah, those pesky russian build, baloon based SAMs."

Best way to troll DCS community, make an F-16A, see how dedicated the fans really are :thumbup:

Do they have a new angled tailfin Version for the F-15??

 

The 4. picture in the report looks like that...

The F-15SE ?

as of now, still a proposal

If in doubt, full afterburner...

Couple of months since the last post...

 

 

<Insert obligatory "any updates?" HERE>

 

Only updates are that the F/A-18 is coming along... Which means the ground radar is coming along (right...?) which mean that hopefully progress could continue on the 15E because the ground radar might be coming along..........

 

Yeah... progress on the 15E is pretty stagnant given that it's not even confirmed.

Its confirmed, they had a podcast a while back right before m2000 came out and they said for sure it's coming, but work is old hold pending a2g radar i would assume that they wouldn't have access the the code until ED finishes it
