W-O-W

[jazjar]

WOW! I got bored and wen't into the editor, where I saw "F-15E" as an aircraft option. I thought "hmm, never seen this one before" and set up a simple route with 9 t-72s and a strela that I programmed the thing to attack with Mavs and LGBs. I started the mission, and the first thing I thought when I saw the model with A sniper XR loaded underneath it was " I am going to kill ED if they do not make this next!" ( I know you won't, just exaggerating :) ) like seriously! I peeked into the engine turbines and found detailed fans spinning on both ends!I then watched the thing take out a strela and a t-72, then turn to a base without emptying its LGBs which I barely noticed because I was so addicted to the model. Then I wanted to see the damage on this thing so I put a route over a SA-15 TOR, and then after the missile hit, I watched the wing shred and the pilots eject, and while it was spiraling towards the ground, I saw the wing shred even further, and the nose cone flew off, revealing a beautiful radar, then finally, the crash.

W-O-W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the F-15E is probably the most detailed model in the game besides the a-10. Makes you wonder if that is indeed next.

100% agree with you. The F-15 is the most detailed AI ive seen. I cant imagine the hard work that went into getting in looking just right. The afterburner effects on it are like nothing ive seen before. They look perfect. :megalol:

 

Even the Linkages that control the nozel openings are modeled. If you look at the F15 in spot view then hit F4 so you are looking at it from the top then turn your view round 180deg so you are looking back at the engines you can watch them open close up. Just need to make a fast waypoint (1100Km so they use the ABs.

F-15E the is the most sexiest plane on this sim.

I am dreaming to hear this one would be the next DCS Module.

The ammount of missions we could do with this one, even the A2A role, is just endless.

 

Sexy Sexy Sexy. :P

Found this over here >> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58337&highlight=screenshots&page=223 ....very nice...indeed.

Makes you realize how pitiful FPS 3D modellers perform compared to 'ours' at ED. I pay them my regards! :thumbup:

[hassata]

Looks like a labor of love for a couple of the ED modelers. Can't imagine it being a module-or at least the next module,

[jazjar]

Can't imagine being modeled next for a number of reasons. They seem to have the jet fighter and afterburner down beautifully, but you would need to model radar and a2a combat again, and model it more realistic than FC2. You would also need to model a radar with a2a and a2g modes. and finally, front seat and back seat, I won't say anything more :) . And since grey beauty here can get from the bottom of the map to the top ( probably with a few fuel tanks ), they might even have to face the prospect of a DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN! I expect ED to take little "bites" into their meat first and make just a front seat back seat fighter without any radar, such as a earlier Tornado IDS, then make a radar fighter ( F-16 ) then combine all their knowledge into the F-15E. just my thoughts!

That doesn't mean anything, in lock on and FC1 the F-18 was very detailed and yet it was never added. All we can do is hope and wait.

[Steel Jaw]

Mud Hen would ROCK.

 

F16 been done to death.

[Boberro]

... and this is why we do need once more :D

[Fox One]

Thanks for making me notice the beautiful F-15 models. I thought only F-15E has a new model, and to my surprise the F-15C model is as detailed! I was curious about cockpit interior and is as detailed as A-10C in external view. There are even TEWS avionics boxes. And the nozzles are a work of art!

[rud]

we can hope, we can dream, we can pray. Boy how I would love a two seater! I almost always play Black shark and now the A-10C with just one other buddy on a LAN. Doing some front-seat / back-seat co-op missions would just be a blast.

[Miro]

Yes. F-15E Will be better than F-16 or F-18 :thumbup:

[hassata]

As long as this is turning into another wish list thread: F-18C/Carrier ops :P

 

I hope someone from ED chimes in and tells us why the Hen is rendered in such amazing detail.

[andysim]

since when has the F-16 been "Done to death" anyway? I mean apart from some FSX addons here and there and of course Falcon4 (no longer in development it seems. Freefalcon/Openfalcon <(so buggy its not even funny, ive never been able to run them for more than a few minutes)

 

We really really really need a new F-16 sim with the quality of DCS/ED

[jazjar]

Right, we must use the f-16 as a stepping stone to programming and modeling such a modern work of art. I personally am rooting for the tornado IDS, but hey, what is the possibility of that getting released, huh?

[Bubb]

I'd say making the next DCS module an F-16 will be both a good strategic and financial decision.

 

By making an F-16 module they will essentially put a hammer down on the entire FalconAF/OpenFalcon/FreeFalcon community, in turn it will bring much more serious simmers to the community and also the sales will be higher by a mile.

 

After doing the Ka-50 and the A-10 i can safely say that an ED F-16 module will be the best in the market for decades to come. And will always be remembered as the golden egg that marked the next step in simming for all those who fly the old generation stuff.

 

My 2 cents :)

[Greb]

I have to agree with Bubb!

 

I like the F16 and I think it would be fun to fly in. I flew a lot of Falcon back in the day. It has been done to death but not to the degree ED and DCS and can do it. It is a multi role and it would drag the falcon crowd to the table. It just makes sense!

[LeadDoctor]

Would be happy with an F16 or F15E. Already have the controls for both.

[power5]

Why the F15E over the C? I would rather have the single seat. They both do multi role don't they?

 

I think I would rather have just about anything besides an F jet for the next module though.

E = ground pounder. Sure, she can defend herself, but A/A is not the strong suit of the hen.

C = air superiority/pure fighter ("not a pound for air-to-ground")

[GGTharos]

Drop the CFT's and it'll do the C's job in a pinch, but it isn't its purpose.

[KillaALF]

How would you do that, they're part of the airframe and can't be dropped. Strike that, they can be removed, but from what I can gather they cannot be dropped like external tanks.
