S~!

 

I just checked all the installed files.

 

NOD 32 says their clean, I wouldn't worry, probably a false positive.

Unfortunatelly there's no such argument that controls these lights. We can only get wingtip and tail lights, AFAIK!

 

Actually...

 

Walmis, please accept this only as an idea, not an urging.

Those lights on the forward leading edge roots basically have a the same function as the wingtip lights, except, as Willy P. explained, they're both red and active during takeoff. Considering one normally only has navlights on during takeoff, would it be somehow possible to clone one of the wingtip lights (the red one) and mount it on the FLE roots? I obviously don't know how the engine would handle it, but if the argument remains the same those two lights might become active along with the normal red-white-greed ones.

 

Just my 0.02€.

Pics of FLE root lights

 

I think it would be a good addition to the model if someone could figure out how to get them working. I know it would be just eye candy, but it would also bump up the realism to F-15. If I had the skills (which by the way I don’t) to help this suggestion out, I would be all over it.

 

Here are some links to a few pictures that show the FLE wig root lights in action. And there are lost of cool pics of F-15’s too …and other aircraft. I would have posted them, but I’m getting low on image space…

There's still a couple more things that needs to be done, i got this from a PM from walmis

Lighter Canopy color <- dunno, tried but without much success, in model viewer it looks ok tho.

Corrected nose shape (more curve near the tip) <- will do

Antenna on the top of the nose <- will do

Hydraulic for canopy <- dunno about that, very complex stuff.

Staircase -< um, maybe

Adjusted gun funnel <- done

Add refueling port <- already done dude

 

So maybe when walmis comes back from christmas vacation or wherever he is, we could see an update.

i sometimes run the F-15 updater from time to time, like just now, it said 4 files to download. I dunno what it fixed or how come there wasn't any announcements but its cool. Maybe its not a major release so it wasn't mentioned. Or maybe its because i screwed around with my files and accidently deleted the previous updates and needed to download again...who knows...

 

I'm personally want to see the nose to have a little more curve like the real thing. I can't wait for that update.

Ran the updater, said everything was already up to date. That probably was the case for you then, deleting the previous files.

Thx for the update!

 

But unfortuantely I found a disturbance of lightning. The nose looks like after a crash test. Or maybe a Russian spy hit it with a hammer. :)

Um...updating in progress...

 

...great job Walmis, I just updated....

 

...sight for sore eyes, I must say...

 

...those Wingroot lights are great, really something special.

 

BTW is there anyone from ED who monitors what Walmis made, the guy is a miracle...

But...what's the deal with rear belly pylons, they're still misalligned with forward ones...

 

...or am I missing something?!

Very nice walmis, the F-15 grows into a beauty with each passing update. And this is a nice (sorta late lol) Christmas present.

Edit:

Don't want to sound picky but is it possible to increase the curve just a slightly more? Like don't curve until the end of the tip and then make a steep curve like the real F-15. Sorta like this. Oh and that small attenna on top would add to the eye candy.

But i am getting sorta a line down the middle of the cone as shown here. Not sure if its due to the skin being stretch but ill look into it.
