So is the F 15 still a thing for DCS or not?

 

Edit:

Just read in the news for 2020 that they are working on it. Any word when they are planning to release?

After they actually finish their cureent modules.

Seven years to get this far. I think it will be another 7 years to be completed. Take about 3 or 4 off that for early access.

Where did you get 7 years from?

Can we expect some news in the near future about your plans since there are a lot of rumours running around?

 

Or is it too soon yet to say anything?

F-15E?

 

I was curious and I searched up "DCS F-15E" on Google and I was surprised to find that there were many pictures and threads about F-15E model by Razbam. I was really excited, then I looked at the date the posts were made and realized they were like 2 years old and then I got sad... so what happened to the F-15E module? I WOULD KILL FOR A MODULE AND PRE ORDER THE SHIT OUT OF IT :pilotfly:

 

 

 

 

@Decoy Here.

 

This post is dated 2015. He says he found posts about it dated further back to two years.

 

By that logic and what has been happening with other modules and this one, we were at the halfway point. The rest was already explained for early access. Please explain how this is not correct.

IDK what rumors you are talking about. Read the last few pages of the thread.

 

Fakts:

 

1. Razbam committed to finishing existing modules before releasing new ones (supposedly all done this year)

2. F15E was "announced" in the yearly DCS newsletter along with the mig23

3. Various 3d modeling is progressing on both the F15 and mig23

4. The F15E won't have any backseater AI

 

My guess, Razbam is short on actual coders as we can see from the slow progress in systems modeling on the harrier an M2K redux. Their 3d guys are busy with the new models/cockpits. At a guess the coders are also working on these modules to some degree (contrary to what point 1 might imply). At best we might see one of these released at the end of the year after victory is declared on the existing modules, done or not.

Just FYI, unless the model is a pretty big throwback (pre 2000), the AHRS and VTR panels located behind the engine control panel do not exist. Being as though the NVG lighting is there (2001ish), it’s a bit of a mix/match on dating at the moment.

I get the whole weathered/aged vibe to show it's being used, but this is a bit excessive IMO. I've never seen an active service aircraft this beat up from regular use unless it's down for heavy maintenance. Panels/parts are replaced/repaired fairly regularly once they get past a certain point of degradation and metal surfaces are at the very least covered in primer to prevent corrosion/rust.

No, actually, that's a pretty fair representation. To take it a step further, chip a lot of the paint off the knobs, and add some paint nicks in the back plates that emit some extra unwanted white light and then add a lot of desert sand in all the crevices that never seems to completely disappear no matter how long you have been out of the sand box. Structural parts rarely get replaced as there are quite frankly, no replacement parts just sitting around to replace them. Paint touch-ups don't happen that often either. Console plates are hard to come by too, and are an incredibly low priority to replace unless they start hindering pilot usability, and that is most frequently under nods and has to do with the excess white light emitted from the back lit panel notes above.

A compass controller? What is this, the 90s?

 

I want Suite 9, ADCP2, APG-82, JHMCS, SNIPER SE...oh, sorry, never mind...

 

Vulture

[JB3DG]

If my guess is correct their -1 comes from -93 and their -34-1-1 comes from -89

cound be worse we could make the panels in the Eagle look like this one:megalol:

 

 

[Wizard_03]

Love the weathering effect myself. Very nice!

I wouldn't really mind that at all

Over weathered cockpit with so much hassles to see switches labels ruined it for me in Heatblur Tomcat especially vr

So not a fan except ability to read labels is not compromised.

Right, and he's saying we COULD have made it that bad, but we didn't.

 

 

I loved the post above talking about sand in the crevices years after. Makes me think of trying to clean dog hair from the car. Basically, the poor soldiers farting and puking and kicking around in these buckets make a mess that's never entirely eradicated. A certain amount of wear and tear is more realistic than factory new. As long as the wear and tear isn't detracting from seeing the names on the switches it is still more realistic and it's more immersive.

So I take it this Strike Eagle will also be using the -220 P&W engines instead of the upgraded -229.

I know you're a SME and I'm not sure if it has any relevance, but Klarsnow, a Mudhen WSO in the Razbam discord mentioned how there is often a mishmash of panels and where they are located in the jet. Here's an excerpt of what he said:
