leafer Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 The estimated release date for the advanced flight model for F-15C Eagle DCS module is middle of 2014. From Belsimtek, the maker of F-15C AFM, website. That's half a year, man... ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Raven68 Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 My friends here is a post about the AFM. This is clearly speculation, but just something to think about until there something more concrete from the developers. Hi VaniaB :) First, thank you, because this from your link: ... pretty much answers my question from post #112, in confirming that airflow is taken into account when calculating AFMs. Nice one :thumbup: Secondly, about the estimated release date you quoted: well, it's an estimate. And because Belsimtek's article talks about "DCS: F-15C Eagle" (not "F-15C: DCS Flaming Cliffs"), "advanced flight and engine models" and "new flight and related component models", I would go as far as to guess there are 2 things here: a first "basic" version of the F-15 AFM, for Flaming Cliffs 3 and the to-be-released-soon F-15C: DCS Flaming Cliffs. then, a much more complete F-15 AFM, with all the bells and whistles (*), which may not be ready before middle 2014, and is intented for the later-coming "hardcore" (à la A-10C) module DCS: F-15C. (*) Remember Wags'post: Cheers, Az' PS: If I'm wrong, and indeed the ~release of the F-15's AFM is middle 2014... well, it's "only" 6 months from now.

cichlidfan Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 The reason for the delay. The good news is that we have a F-15 pilot taking a very active role in helping us get the F-15C AFM just right. With his help, we are making great strides that we would not have made otherwise. The bad news is that with his input, we have identified several more areas that need adjustment, and that has required more time than we originally estimated. Once we and he are happy with it, it will be released soon afterwards.

_Dredd Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I can wait for that :) Is it a placebo effect with 1.2.7 or has the F-15 FM been tweaked already? It feels heavier, smoother on AOA changes, plus a few other things, but maybe it's just me.

blackbelter Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Been waiting for Su-27 AFM... A little impatient TBH... After tasting the AFMs of Su-25 and A10-C, I am bearly coping with the current SFM of Su-27...

Raven68 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Soooooo.....Are we there yet? :D I think most of the ED staff have been observing holiday since early last week and will not be back at it until tomorrow. Doubt that there has been progress made during that time. Hopefully by the end of the month we'll have an update.

outlawal2 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Would much rather have them consult with an expert and get it right than release an inaccurate module that has to be majorly overhauled to fix.. (Waiting patiently with money in hand..) "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO

outlawal2 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Especially since it sounds like it was wrong when the SME first got his hands on it. Possible, but kudos to ED for taking the steps to get it right and not push a bad product because of the wailing masses of simmers that WANT IT RIGHT NOW... LOL (And just for the record, that "wailing masses of simmers" crack was not an insult to anyone as I am one of them wanting it too! ) :thumbup: Just sayin'!

SkateZilla Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Pretty sure it was said that the SME found area's that could use improvement or adjustments, but the AFM as a whole was better than the commercial trainer's. or something along those lines.

TraxusIV Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 As exciting as AFM is, I'm just looking forward to being able to buy the F-15C on steam. If you disapprove of this post, please feel free to give me negative rep. If you approve of this post, please feel free to give me negative rep.
