Clickable F-15's

[commo81]

Any chance that there's going to be an update to be able to click on things in the F15 like you can with the F14? It would be better especially for those of us using VR only who have to try to bind a bunch of controls and can't remember what we binded to where. It's a bit annoying to lift my VR headset up to make sure I'm hitting the right keys on the keyboard. I'm hoping this is something relatively simple to do that could be released within a few months.

Full fidelity fighter F-15A or C would be awesome. Maybe someday, Razbam did a great job with the F-15E.

There is a mod that gives some capabilities of clickable cockpit for FC3 planes.

Welcome to DCS

Unfortunately nothing in this game falls into that category.
There is more difference between a full fidelity module and the simple FC3 planes than just clicking on the cockpit. Afaik there are no plans to add more FC3 aircraft or upgrade these with click pits. Maybe someday ED or a 3rd Party Dev will make a full fidelity F-15C but it would be a completely new module at that point.

Correct, you can use this mod. https://github.com/RedK0d/CLICKABLE-FC3

Don't count on anything official coming within few months (or years).

FC3 Aircraft aren't clickable and will not be expanded to such as FC3 is Feature complete and pretty much in long term support status.

I think that is what ED has in mind I hope Razbam takes on the F-15C.

It just would be a lot easier for those of us who only do VR. It's great in the F14 not having to bind everything and clicking things just adds to the thrill of being in that aircraft. I can't even fly my F15s because I'm having issues assigning axis for brakes etc with the rudder pedals but that's for a different thread. Would just be nice to click on engine start, throttles, etc instead of keybinding things to controllers with limited buttons.

I would hope another group of eagle enthusiasts, another third party to take it.

Razbam has too many projects to fill. Argentine Mirage for S Atlantic, some not announced modules, Mig-23mla and so on.

Besides, the promised early version of mig-19 is still nowhere to be found despite it's been half a decade, and the revealed Mirage family for AdA is still held back (And I don't think it's 100% Dassault's fault). Very unlikely Razbam will carry on with an F-15C; they are not a team like Heatblur and Aerges that will bring us many variants, so I wouldn't hope.

I totally understand your wishes. The F-15C is one of the first jets I bought years ago but have only flown it twice because I just could not deal with the limited cockpit interactions and simplified flight model. It just did not feel right. Since then I have stuck only with full fidelity modules like the F-14 and Viggen being my top favorites. So if you like the F-15 that much then you will just have to make due with the F-15E from Razbam or other FF modules in the mean time. And just in case you are unaware the F-4E Phantom will be one of the new FF modules that should be released next.

F-15C has PFM since 2014.
