MilViz F-15E or IRIS F-15?

This is interesting. I never lined up the first external comparison correctly so the versions were not seen at exactly the same angle.

I have taken more time to get the camera angle much the same for both at the same distance. Its now harder to tell the difference.

Nice comparison, the lower one has a deeper nose at the windscreen base and the correct flat top to the intake (not the variable intake part) which reduces the amount of fuselage seen between the intake top and canopy rail, however the upper one is more correct with the upper part of the elevon support structure beam under the fin, it is one sweeping slightly curved upper surface, the lower has a pronounced fall off toward the rear, yet the lower one is more correct on the bottom section of this structure.

I'd buy both anyway....if I hadn't just blown all my Xmas bonus on machine tools for my 'other' hobby LOL.

Wow, thats a mature response?.

Why is it we can never have a sensible dialogue that compares A with B these days?

Wow talking about late responding.... you just poohed ur panties?.......everybody is giving their opinion so i do too even if i have to go this low.....

@ JB a loss?...man i just realised i saved a lot of money!.....
 
This is a valuable thread to discuss both aircraft. The dialog should be kept to the plus and minus of the F-15E. Personal comments should be left out and will not be tolerated. Thanks for understanding.
 
correct me please if im wrong stovall. Isnt the post above yours the type that should be reported judging by the language directed to michael davies?
 
Yes - i agree with you Naruto.

It would be a shame to close this tread down as im amazed at the number of people who have downloaded the VC comparision in a short space of time. It proves there is interest.
 
I agree cause I myself am trying to decide as well and with the negative sniping going on I'm just about to the point of not buying either one.
 
Naruto-kun and Barnes, that is exactly why I made the comment that I did. Personal comments will not be tolerated. Now let's get back to the plus's and minus's of the Iris and Milviz F-15E. This is a good thread for those trying to decide which to purchase if they can only buy one.
 
Well, after all the agony, I finally pulled the trigger on Milviz. Sadly, all I'm getting thus far are CTDs on loading it;-(

A bit of an anti-climax. I hope the guys there see my forum registration request. Don't know what happend to my previous Milviz forum registration. Did they all get wiped or something?
 
If you are getting CTDs then there is more than likely some module addon thats conflicting. I dont think i have seen ya in the forums but email Roadburner440(at)milviz(dot)com and he will get ya sorted. And once you are in....ill be waiting to help.

CTDs are not something I like to see although the system has been stable for pretty much everyone except some testers who have kept on running hordes of graphic tweak addons. Will deffo try to squash this one for ya.
 
Dougal95 and Naruto-kun, thanks for carrying on.

Dougal 95 as you can see the support from Milviz is fantastic. The same goes for Iris. Once in the Milviz forum a solution will be found I am confident of that. You will enjoy your choice.

Indeed, I've never doubted their support. I know it's always been great!

Will I get an email when I've been registered on the milviz forum? I guess I'll have to, in order to receive a password?

Well excually the eye view of the VC of Iris is indeed REALISTIC! and how many times i sat in a F-15 i could say a 100 times but you wont even believe it....
By the way if you are capable to buy a TrackIR these views dont look like 2D... and you want me to buy a product and then have to change it all by myselfe?...in that case i want a better price for it because i have to finish a job they couldn't do...

And my real world experience is something that doesnt concern to you....
So you are seconds away of never touching this sim again...what, are you gonna play the poor boy/victim here, like i give a damn if your not gonna play it again....... Im just not gonna fly the MILVIZ F-15E period....

afaik you should.

Unfortunately i was away when Colin responded my question about your registration which btw will be dealt with but he also said that you bought just the SP and not the original. Im not involved with the installation compilations so im still a bit in the dark as to what is happening but i will get back with more info asap. For now he said you need to return it and get the original and Ill get you a link asap. It seems it is missing some files which without them you will have CTDs.

Ohh the joys of patches!, I feel for you there, been through some tough ones myself with my previous products, you fix one thing and it breaks another, keep at it, I always found a deep sense of satisfaction once the issue was resolved.

Kindest Michael
 
@dougal95

just for the record, is your username on the milviz forums just straight Dougal?

And michael yes it has been quite a game of whack-a-mole.

Ow 'eck I'm gettin confussed. Now registered there, but can't see an F15 section on the Milviz forum.

When I purchased the F15, I ended up with TWO exe files; the beta (which Ithought was the SP update) and what appears to be the correct F1 installer, called: Milviz_F-15E

That suggests to me, that I can simply remove all trace of beta insstallation, and start again with what I have?

The beta doesn't appear to have created an uninstallation routine, so it will have to be manually though.

EDIT: No, of course I can't. F1 installer want's me to pay again. Okay, will get refund and start again!

I WILL get this bird;-)
 
Naruto-kun,
Reading with atention this and other topics in other foruns i´m very inclined to go with the milviz plane. But as it´s a public information, a patch is inbound. So i´m going to wait for the updated plane. Is there any information about release time of it?

Thanks for the many explanations you gave in all the forums. :salute:
And thanks for all the others with constructive information. Very helpful!
 
The F-15 forums are under the Completed Milviz projects. If a reinstall doesnt solve things ill get back to you with the info from KC.

@flaviossa we are aiming for this end of weekend but im not banking on it entirely cuz we have proved to be terrible at dates thanks to Moles law. Most of the patch fixes are merely texture related stuff with some gauge and hopefully a possible weapon system fix.
 
Okay thanks guys. It seems I can now post at Milvits, so it's probably best I take this there now.

Thanks guys
 
I thought it only reasonable to swing by and report back my results...

I still haven't had a chance to fly this baby yet, as I had some problems at my end. It would however, be remiss of me not say how impressed AND grateful I am for the outstanding support I've had for most of the night, from the guys at Milviz.

I'm not a 'fanboy' of ANYONE, and I hate the bad vibes that sometimes spring from these kind of threads, but I must say that the kind of persistent help given to get my F15 functional, was above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

I just got too tired to fly in the end, so now look forward to a mission or two tomorrow;-)
