Fellas, the plane looks great and so does the paint!

I've been wanting a good F-15 for a long time and this beauty looks to be a keeper.

I hope the flight dynamics match the model's good looks.

Theres more to this baby than good FDEs and a detailed model though :d

Many things. One of my faves is the on demand tanker that has a boom that swings left-right-up-down, along with in and out. It will track itself to the receiver aircraft once you fly into it's "tracking zone", and you know when you've hooked up by the "pop" sound and shake of the plane your flying.

Here's at quick look at how it tracks you:

...once you get close enough, the virtual boom operator will stick it in the refueling receptacle.


(sorry for 'jacking your paint thread, Gunnar. You'll just have to put in some more paint pics.)

"the on demand tanker"

Do you mean you make that tanker appear when you need it ?
And an automatic hookup occurs once inside a zone under and below the tanker ?

What is the rate of fuel flow? Any voice ?

A great simulation idea.
 
Wileycoyote4:

The Milviz F-15E gives you the ability to call up the tanker when you want it.

The boom flys to you when you are in the zone and will track your position, and the inner boom retracts and extends to match your distance, and as I said it "pops" and shudders the plane you're flying when the boom makes contact. However, you have to fly the plane with a fair amount of precision once you make contact, or there will be a boom "break away", and that is a "pop" sound also. So, it's not going to fly the plane for you once you hook up, although that would be alot easier, lol. There is a tanker communication recording from the boom operator, and she sound kinda sexy. The recording is limited in scope.

As far as rate of flow is concerned, I don't know. It will add fuel to your tanks as long as you stay hooked up.


Peter12213:

I haven't tried it with another plane, but that is on my list to try. I have recorded the F-15E flight with a tanker call up, and then played it back. The tanker will let another F-15E under the boom while the originally recorded F-15E moves off and out of the way.
 
Wow...loving those AAR shots,Bone :applause::applause:
I guess I'm gonna need to brush up on my (non existant) formation skills :icon_lol::guinness::guinness:
 
Thanks Bone

Sorta reminds me of the tanker in Jane's USAF sim from about 2000 or thereabouts.

Very good screenys, Bone. :medals::guinness:

Looking forward to more surprises !
 
I think as this F-15E is further refined, and MilViz makes additional releases of information consistent with that refinement, that many people will be making direct comparisons to other simulator titles such as Janes USAF. This F-15E promises to expand the FSX envelope.

Great job Gunnar!!

The updated textures are looking fantastic!! They make the plane look smoother and cleaner than the first ones shown in the other thread. Doing a great job of conveying the beauty of the lines in the Eagle.

This is going to be truly amazing!!

Looks great... One question. Is the multi sorted out? Im strictly a multi flyer for most part. I love the T38, but was surprised to find out there was a issue. With that said I only buy birds that work in both single and multi.

I dont use Gamespy ever only direct connect for obivous reasons... So Im hoping that from here on out there wont be anymore overlooked issues with multi player ac...

R/S

Creeps.
 
MP works just fine... I think that you will find you can do more in MP with this bird than with any other (at this time...)
 
Multi works great with the F-15E: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwoBoNQtnBw

The only thing lacking at the moment is being able to see the other players munitions. I am not sure if this is being worked on, but I have asked for multi-player versions which will have stores already visible (i.e. an air to air version, air to ground dumb bombs/precision, ferry, etc.) Again, not sure if this will be implemented, but enjoy the video.

Regards, Diego

Edit: Keep in mind this video was made with an old build, so some things have changed (for the better)
 
Thanks for the reply and video. This will def be on my buy list... Bout time we had a decent full native FSX F-15E....

Creeps.
