Bought it today. Was a bit pricey, but I won't have to hear about that until my wife looks at the bank statement. LOL
Beautiful aircraft though. And as far as I've been able to tool around with it, the flight model seems like an excellent representation of the Strike Eagle. Except for the engine fires. That's issue #1 for me. I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong, but any more than 30 seconds of AB seems to result in overheat/engine fires. What am I doing wrong? Ritz (F-15E Demo pilot 2009/2010) flew his entire 15 minute demo in burner except for literally a few seconds here and there in MIL and I never saw him catch fire.
The other issue. My frames are all over the place. Just as an example, I get 30 frames out of the VRS Superbug. Here I'm oscillating constantly (and rapidly) between 10 and 30. A little irritating.
Great job on this machine though. It's beautiful and flies great. (Now, if only I could get to the bottom of these two issues) but admittedly, I've read no documentation yet.
EDIT: Apparently it's only overheating the engines at low altitudes and airspeeds in the 250-400 kt range. (Airshow range). At altitude and high speed, no overheating or fires.

Here's a quick video I made today right after installing... enjoying the awesome flight model tearing out of March ARB.

Watch in 1080!

Thanks Airattack,
Awesome video I love the camera effect. I also appreciate the kind words, and hope the wife doesn't get upset.
We went off the TO's information on the engine overheat, and they will overheat at 960C, as long as you keep it below that temp you should be fine. Now the 'AB BURN THRU' issue will take longer to overheat, and it will be included in the upcoming Service pack. We also have a few other fixes coming as well. Some visual changes with the model, and including even tweaking the AB to look better for the 220 engine in dx9. We will also add more radar modes/functionality, and as soon as 'Tac Pack' is released we start integrating that into the Aircraft as well so the F-15E can fly with other aircraft in true multiple war theaters.
As for the fluctuation with the FPS I honestly could not answer that. The aircraft is very complex with all of the systems. There is over 400+ buttons, switches, knobs, including 7 independent MPDs, not to mention all of the visibilities of the warnings, lights, and HUD all displaying as a ballet in a really complex and detailed model. We tried to optimize the MDL as much as we could for the size, and how it's packed full of functionality, it was a miracle we could even stuff that much into it. We wanted to make sure the F-15E will look as good as it does today even a few years later when aircraft get even more complicated from the developers and computers get faster.
If you have any problems or questions we can give you support here at our forum, offer repaints, and soon to come more extras to the project will be added there as well.

Thanks Tim... she said "what the heck airplane did you buy that was $50?"
LOL, I was surprised she let it go within a minute!
Still having a blast with the Mudhen. Here's another video:
Riverside to LA in 7 minutes. Strike Eagle fun.

Thank you Matt,Finally got me one of these Tim and it doesnt dissapoint... the fact it was reduced at Flightsim.coms shop spurred me on. Still wish you'd chosen to do a C model though
KR Matt
That really means a lot to me, and I am glad you are enjoying it, Iris and I will be supporting it for long time to come. When Tac Pack comes out we continue more upgrades. I would how ever check on our Facebook pages or even in the Iris F-15E support forum, We will announce a small upgrade to the aircraft with very realistic flight dynamics that have been proven to be as close as you can get to the real thing. There are some slight modifications to the Exterior and Interior model along with something for lower end PCs to get even better performance in the Cockpit. It should be soon, and I will even try to post here. Again thank you for your kind words and have a wonderful Easter.
Tim,

Load Mnanger screen not working.
I hope I am in the right area for this. I downloaded this product from PC Aviator's Instant Download Store and I am generally impressed. But I am having trouble with the Load Manager Screen. I got it to work just once but have not been able to get to work since. All that happens now is that for a second- a white line around the borders appears and then disappears. I have unistalled and reinstalled, rebooted and ran FSX but screen still does work. Any idea's how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hello
I think you will get a prompt response if you post this on the F-15E Facebook page
Just type
FSX F-15 Development
in the search bar.
I have had great service from there.

Keyboard reference
Hey, any chance of getting a COMPLETE list of keyboard commands--that are used in F-15E Mudhen Driver? (No "tutorial" videos, please! They don't help--at all!)

I just scanned the manual and there is not even a partial list of keyboard commands. The original thread title (now over five years old) may be misleading.
There are no [Official] support threads here at SOH. At least not that I'm aware of. I'd suggest visiting the publisher Iris Simulations at http://www.irissimulations.com.au/.
I think that's still their current website. The F-15E is no longer sold of course but they may still support it.
IRIS F 15 E refuelling issue
Hi everybody,
I've just reloaded, after a lot of time, my Mudhen Driver and I've noticed that the load manager works fine but I've have an issue with the refuelling.
I've just fuel in internal/wings tanks but nothing in CFTs or external ones and nothing happens when I try fo fill them.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot lucame
