    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

DC Designs F-15 Strike Eagle power demo, Eglin AFB

Very nice video Dean, looking forward to the update. Fantastic work and very much appreciated.
 
Are other people seeing artefacts behind the F-15 when it passes in front of clouds in this video ?

It's caused by the high zoom required to create the "airshow spectator" view point. Asobo know about it and are working on a fix.
 
Looks awesome! Didn't realize the Strike Eagle could do that takeoff with those big bags on the sides. (Most thrilling moment of my life was doing that in the back seat of a slick F-15D.)

Did you record that with Asobo's debug mode recorder? The audio effect is spectacularly authentic.

The F-15E was at "display weight" so the CFT tanks were empty - total fuel aboard was 12,000lbs at take off, 8,000lbs at landing. The Strike Eagle has immensely powerful engines so if you take out the normal fuel load it really moves - sustained 8.3G max-rate turn at 420 knots ( and accelerating! ) means you actually have to come off the power on the back side of the turn to keep airspeed under control, although it doesn't go around corners as well as the F-14A/B as the turn radius is larger.
