Is the intake manifold angle movement also modeled?

It certainly is - manually controlled upon engine start to engage the Inlet Ramps, then automatic above 150 KIAS, reacting to angle of attack and airspeed
You can see them working in this shot, fully down as the Eagle pulls high-G toward the vertical.Attachments

The F-15 Eagle project is nearing completion, and will soon move to the testing phase with the Just Flight team. There's probably about one more week of work for me to do before it's handed over, mainly on the twin-seat versions virtual cockpits. All external models are now complete and I've added some selectable scenery that accompanies the airplanes to increase realism, all made visible via the crew's knee-pads.
I'll share images of the F-15E cockpit once it's ready for public viewing, hopefully later this week.

Well, I have several aircraft in the pipeline at various stages of completion. The current release schedule for the summer, after the F-15 Eagles, doesn't actually include any military models ( yet ) but there are more military types to come later.
The next projects for release in 2020 are Concorde, for FSX / P3D all versions and FS2020, and the Grob 120 TP Prefect, a military turboprop trainer that also operates under civilian registrations. Both will be aimed at mid-level detail, with manageable systems and avionics.
Beyond the summer, development switches to P3D / FS2020 only. There are a large number of aircraft I'd like to build, predominantly military, with packages including F-14A/D Tomcats, F-16C/D Falcons, Phantom, Jaguar, Harrier and lots of vintage and WW2 aircraft. The list is too long to put here but I'm looking to model all of my favourites and make them accessible to all users rather than be study level - that's the key thing here really. There will no doubt be re-releases by other developers of most study-sim airplane models over time for FS2020, but I'm going to stick to my guns and keep the entertainment factor high, with multiple versions of each airplane in each package to make up for the lower-detail avionics and systems modeling.
I also have some sceneries I'm working on, which have been on hold since FS2020 was announced, as the presence of such great scenery out-of-the-box forced a change of business model for me. I can now confirm though that I will be releasing sceneries of airports / military air bases that other devs have overlooked.
I'll always update folks here on what I'm working on when it comes to military types, and hoepfully I'll keep getting better with each release
Quite a lengthy to-do list!
And can I put my hand up for the Viper?
We need a good up to date version.
