F-15E WIP Update Discussion

[BIGNEWY]

Folks we have had a lot of feedback so thank you for that but angry off topic posting is not going to help here. I have hidden some posts that break our rules.

Please do not derail this thread, keep it for discussing the work in progress for the F-15E 

Posts that do not will be hidden. 

Thank you

i don't see in the last YouTube videos the use of the ghost's function, to partial hide the stick/throttle...do you know if it's implemented in the EA?

Not mentioned nor any sun blocking equipment as in Mirage 2000C

I watched a f15 pilots take on the module he said in real life the stick is a pain in backside also said should be like the viper on the right ,maybe in vr will more tolerable.

We've seen it working in one of Notso's videos, so it was working then I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working in the EA?

Well,the right-hand pos is for F-15EX with parking brake. Is there really video showing the stick can be removed? BTW, almost all non-FC3 planes can hide the stick (except for F-14 RIO?), so I would expect the MudHen can do the same.

Any idea about the sun visor thing?

I saw that one too.  My take out from that vid is that there is still quite a bit of work to be done before release.  He tried selective station jettison to reduce weight and test G loading and it did not work.

Then he tried to punch off the stores with emerg jettison and that did not work either.  Whether it was a bug peculiar to his copy, or a work in progress, I think that is a big deal system to have working even on early access.

I've seen several videos where selective jettison worked fine.

The F-15E pilot "review" is here (sorry if it has already been posted):

That's the one.

Not sure how it works in the real jet, but he didn't have his Master Arm on when he tried to jettison.

Still waiting for some dogfight videos -- GR's aerial gunnery video does not count...

This video may answer some questions (at about 11:27):

Dear RAZBAM team, make the topic f-15 module roadmap so that we can clearly understand what systems and types of weapons you will implement ... we are tired of learning everything from gossip...

I would like to see If you did everything according to the standard as ED it would be the most logical. It has long been necessary to make mandatory standardization for all third-party developers so that there are no differences in informing and other issues. As an example, I show the f-16 roadmap

That jettison system looked awesome. Although the way the missiles, especially the inner ones, parted from the wing pylons did not look very good. But I'm sure that is on their to do list.

Setting up two layers of jettison like that will be very usefull.

That’s because the missiles cannot be jettisoned.  If the pylon punches off, the missiles go with it.

I might have missed, is the F-15E going to have a jammer? In release, in EA, post-EA?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Not much, I guess, from this video:

I suppose it might come eventually like it did on the F-18 and the pods added to the F-16? IIRC then the jammer used on Strike Eagles is an internal thing and not a pod?

It has an internal ECM.

Would any psychic or fortune teller or conspiracy theorist comment  on the video above regarding the ETA?

@VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants You ask the question that many have in mind. In the meantime, all we can do is wait.
