New Milviz F-15 Video

It has been pointed out to me that the gear retract/extend sequence is incorrect. The wheels should be facing inwards and not outwards. This has been fixed.

On the subject of the code for these two birds...

We are already, and have been for quite some time, in touch with Phlerp about this. The problem with this is cost. Any extra that we have to pay for this tech will, of course, be passed on to you. We will see what can be done but no promises on that front.

For the HUD on the F-15C, at this time, we have no intention of redoing what is already done except for collimation. We may, if we find something drastically different but so far, there's nothing. The NATOPS manuals for both the F/A-18C and the F-15C are quite clear on this similarity, with the very minor exception of the carrier landing autosequence, which, I believe, doesn't exist in the FSX implementation anyway.

Thank you for Horten's name. We will contact him if we find that our HUD is bouncing.

The idea of transposing UHF over to TACAN is an interesting idea certainly. Thanks for that!

We're certainly not going to do engine wear and tear. That's for mechanics and not pilots. No diss intended towards mechanics! We will be looking at the icing and all that stuff and seeing what is possible given time and money.

We are looking at how we wish to approach this and will be making our decision in the coming weeks.

First though, we've got to get the Vision out! That's our priority. But, while Chuck and Tim deal with that, I and Roadburner, will be concentrating on the "checklist" for the F-15's.

I need your email, James.

Thank you for your time.

Its a really Nice teaser; just saw it again. :jump:
BTW: Sent you a PM with the email info. requested.

Happy Dev.'ing! :wavey:
 
I will mail the F-15 Manuals (C and E) to anyone who wishes to participate in making a list of things that are must have, should have and could have...

Just a word to the wise but the export of current aircraft US military flight manuals is restricted. You can probably email it all around the US, if that is where you're based, but mailing it abroad could lead to an investigation. :173go1:

However if you're already abroad I'd still think twice about it. I don't want to be a killjoy on your suggestion, but as a fellow model maker you need to know. WHat you do with this information is up to you!! :icon_lol:

I've copied and pasted this from eflightmanuals.com.


"The following are several types of export warnings extracted from DoD Directive 5230.24, "Distribution Statements on Technical Documents", March 18, 1987 that may be present on our products and should not be considered all inclusive:

"WARNING - This document contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751 et seq.) or the Export Administration Act of 1979 as amended (Title 50, U.S.C., App. 2401 et seq.). Violations of these laws are subject to severe criminal penalties."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT B - Distribution authorized to U.S. Government agencies only (reason) (date of determination). Other requests for this document shall be referred to (controlling DoD office)."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT C — Distribution authorized to U.S. Government Agencies and their contractors to protect publications required for official use or for administrative or operational purposes only (date of determination)."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT D — Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only (reason) (date of determination). Other requests shall be referred to (controlling DoD office)."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT E — Distribution authorized to DoD Components only (reason) (date of determination). Other requests shall be referred to (controlling DoD office)."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT F — Further dissemination only as directed by (controlling DoD office) (date of determination) or higher DoD authority."

"DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT X — Distribution authorized to U.S. Government Agencies and private individuals or enterprises eligible to obtain export-controlled technical data in accordance with (regulation); (date of determination). DoD Controlling Office is (DoD Controlling Office)."

Model looks great Colin.
 
I will take that under advisement. However, you should know that Eflightmanuals has sold me manuals of active duty aircraft many times. I won't buy there anymore because they don't do DVD's any longer.

I much prefer Flightmanualsoncd.com. Better service and, essentially the same stuff.

Thanks,

kc.
 
Hi Colin,

I stopped buying from eflightmanuals when they appeared to be being more restrictive.

flightmanualsoncd is a good source too down in New Zealand have used them a few times, no problems at all. :ernae:

That exhaust nozzle animation is amazing. :applause:
