F-15E?

[Thinder]

Why? Because the F-16 and every other single seat fighter is impossible to fly without a second guy in it? You need to jump seats because you are being shot at? Why? Your thoughts seem completely unfounded from a reality standpoint.

 

 

If reality matters, then the two seaters needs their RIO...

 

Allowing players to fly two seaters like F-16 will depart from the philosophy DCS have been following so far.

 

Personally, I think that if it is yet more workload for the user, a better communication between the pilot and the RIO is not only possible but also necessary.

 

Reason why I strongly suggest players to explore the use of Voice attack, even the option of getting the graphic interface off is possible at all.

 

Those Aircraft have a higher combat potential with the RIO, not using it is a complete waste of this potential.

The F-15 and F-14 are not similar in any regard really when it comes to individual work loads...people need to stop drawing up that comparison. The workload is no different than flying a single-seat F-18, F-16, etc. The extra body is a force multiplier but not a hinderance if they are not present. There’s about six switches on the console (that I can think of) that need to be put in the correct spots, before you get in harm’s way, that are tied to the back seat. Outside of that, systems management is all integrated into both seats, there isn’t a requirement to switch seats to employ anything, nor a need for anything like voice attach that extends beyond any other single seat fighter out there. It’s as user friendly as an F-16 in that regard.

I would still love to have a rudimentary Backseat AI even if everything can be done from the front seat. For example to call out missile launches and position of bogey in a dogfight. Will make it feel like it’s a two person plane even if there is no one there.

Exactly what I was thinking.

We will wait for the F15E !!! and Looking foward to see it one day, as so many other ones!! Thanks ED !!

So what do you think the backseater can add to the crew then?

 

I'd say that setting up Voice Attack to communicate properly with it (AI) would certainly be a big help in terms of S.A, even so you can do all the rest from the front seat.

 

The less you have to do from the front the better and S.A is certainly part of the workload.

 

Calling altitudes, attitude (ground avoidance), threat, missile launch, breaks, check six etc, if you can com with your AI better, it will respond better to what you need it to do.

 

Now if workload in terms of systems is lower is the case for F-14, chances are its AI will reflect that when released.

Well you are in for some big disappointment then, as far as known the Hind won't be getting any form of AI

 

 

You're dead wrong.

This is 3 years old now from a studio that merged back into ED of with their projects shifted significantly... Let's see what ED says, I will be gladly proven wrong

Guys, I wonder what the pilot's design will be.

I would like the pilot's helmet to be HGU-55 with a with central hose anchorage

 

There is still no such combination in the DCS.

Now the game is HGU-55 with side mount or HGU-33 with classic mask. I want HGU-55 with classic mask.

 

And by the way, do you think the extended movement/animation of the head and body of the pilot will be modeled as it is on the HB F-14?

So that the pilot can see where his WSO is looking and vice versa. This enhances the game atmosphere and realism.

Just see Harrier forum. For those who want a F15 this is your future because it's our present.

Really cool helmet !

Anyone know when they intend to release the open beta module of the F15E ?

[Kev2go]

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=McDonnell+Douglas+F-15E+Strike+Eagle+Pilot%27s+Flight+Operating+Instructions&pp=1

 

 

so its basicaly just an printed book version of an F15E-1 flight manual that you can find in pdf format?

 

If thats the case unless its a newer than a 1993 publication, meh, not worth the price of two hardcopy books.

Why they don't do an F-15C instead if two seats are so controversial, they don't plan any AI and are bottlenecked by coding? Graphically they are doing great job.

 

If I understand correctly F-15C would take incomparably less time to code without fancy guided A-G ordinance, systems, advanced two cockpit functionality, electro optical pods.

 

Considering RAZBAM has many graphics artists and smaller amount of coders single role single seater but with higher performance looks like perfect choice for them.

 

I'm afraid RAZBAM can stuck for years coding advanced A-G functionalities, two cockpits, pods etc. Being also forced to hold all other projects. Strike Eagle will be also A LOT more resource consuming to support/maintain in DCS with all this avionics. Like with modern A-G Harrier, it took years and it's still not finished. Bomber two cockpit F-15E can be even more time consuming.

 

Looks like they already came to similar conclusion chosing cold war single role jets in the future - with attractive real warfare history, performance and outlook but without modern gizmos extremely time consuming to code - like MiG-23, EE Lighting, legacy A-A Harrier, Mirage III etc.

​​This looks like logical choice which suits them perfectly. Being bottlenecked by coding they could make like three cold war single role planes for one super sophisticated multirole.

 

Maybe i don't know something? Maybe it's about the license ED gave them?

[TLTeo]

I suspect it's because they think the -C has a much smaller market given that a) it's an FC3 module and many people won't necessarily feel like going beyond it and b) it's an a2a platform only. They probably figured that yes, it takes a lot more resources, but they'll also sell more. Whether that's true or not is a whole other conversation, but on paper the reasoning makes some sense. A huge caveat is whether they have learnt from their past errors and can build on that experience though.

Nice, love that they're doing the old UFC after all. Just the thing for Desert Storm, I think. :)

You make a very good point. Think of it this way though. The longer we work on and perfect it, the better the end product will be. Slowly adding things into the module will make sure all the systems are perfected and work together.

 

I look forward to all the teeny tiny bugs you guys find in the future.

This is one of the few modules that, despite the lack of a launch bar, tail hook or folding wings, will be a first day buy for me! Looking forward to throwing my money at you RAZBAM!!

[Harry.R]

SandMartin, the 'classic mask' is the Gentex MBU12/P. Getting a new face piece is very, very expensive..thankfully not the case for the DCS version ;)

The 15E is going to be epic.

[Viper1970]

Any chance to see the F-15E within the next 2-3 years in EA? This modul was announced to be the next after the AV-8B, for sure an F-15E was already announced to come to DCS many years ago.

 

Now its again on hold and on other modules, which were announced later (Mig-23, Lightning), the work continues.

 

The F-15E is the last great jet to complete the F-14 to F/A-18 pack of legendary modern 4th gen US fighters in DCS.

Where did you read it is again back on hold?
