So not only do we have to read the manual, now we've got to read the aircraft as well :icon_lol:

Nice work :applause:
 
Hello,

Ok as from what I see here is that there is a few miss-placed warnings on the fuselage near the intakes there should be more (total of 5 not including door numbers). Also you are missing air probes, and your ammo-loading door is incorrect (you have a C not E version) and various other little issues. Other then that it looks good.

Thank you,
Rob

Sure. Please provide pics so we can see what you are talking about.

You're a real live crew chief, right? What unit and ship? We will, of course, fix any errors that can be shown as such.

Thanks

Rob,

Nice hearing from you. I note that you are a crew chief on the F-15E. What base? I have several friends of mine who have flown F-15E's at each of the various locations over the years. PM me if you do not wish to reply here. It might be that it's a small world and folks I know would know you. Would love to get any insights you may have of the jet!
 
Yes Staff Sargent, at (shady J) Seymour Johnson AFB NC and I was part of the 333rd Lancers, and airframe I crewed was F-15E-46-MC-88-1693. It was a while ago, after Desert Storm during Southern Watch, I was lucky to stay state side and then use my GI Bill to go to school.

To find photos you want, well I have to say right now, I am a bit busy but, I am sure you have resources to find them yourself. I can tell you that their is a lot of little things that are off, and when I look at the jet it just doesn't all the way look like the real thing.

I am just telling you this so you can make a proper F-15E so it is complete and accurate. I will how ever say that I have been called a "Rivet Counter" due to the fact that this hobby of mine is something I like to make sure it stays a simulation of the real thing and not a imaginary game. I personally will say to keep up the good work and hope to see a good looking F-15E.

Thank you,
Rob
 
Ever run across any of these guys:

Bill Mullins
Brian Killough
Lichen Pursley
Mitch Walrod
Paco Harris

I suspect John Stillion was well before your time.

Cheers,

Ken
 
As well, I think, if you are interested, I would like to invite you to the beta team. This way, we can at least see if we are close...

Interested?
 
To be honest,

Yes I would be interested, I have to look at my schedule, due to business obligations and my Wife. Let me think about this. How would I get in touch about this if I am able too?

Thank you,
Rob
 
Are the stencils the same on all F-15E planes, and always in the same place, even if a plane is repainted? No doubt they should be, but can it account for differences between planes?<o:p></o:p>

The (smaller) stencils will be almost identical on most F-15E liveries with a few exceptions (among them the IAF livery). The tint will vary a bit from livery to livery.
 
Especially for military aircraft, the placards are tightly regulated to specify what they say, how they look, and where they are placed. A lot of discussion goes on to determine all that.

General aviation aircraft placards are also standardized but not as tightly.

These placards can appear outside or in the cockpit as well as sometimes inside compartments especially strorage and baggage compartments.
