What aircraft have you been unable to find after a long search? There may be an answer!

F-15D - 65th Aggressor

Postby ashbell79 » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:45 pm

This is a request / information request.  Also, new to the site, so, hi!  :)

Okay, so here's a little back story.  I'm a former F-15 Crew Chief from the USAF.  I spent a few years in Okinawa working on the 78's, and then was transfered off to Nellis to work for the 65th Aggr Sq.  I was the DCC on 85-0131 up until Spring 2007.  It's after I left that this bird went down, so I don't know much more than the accident report says.

I've been scouring the net for any F-15 for FSX, and have only found one.  I haven't been able to get it to work with FSX.  I also found quite a few details that weren't accurate.  Like, this C model has an E model cockpit, and even then, simple things like the MPDP was sitting directing in front of the stick, the landing gear handle was in the completely wrong place, etc.  I know, I'm nitpicking, but, as you can tell by the previous information, I'd like to be taken back to my jet. 

So I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction, or if someone is in works with one, please PM me and I'll help you out to make it as realistic as possible. 

As for skins, here's a link to some imagery of her.

Here she is in flight, coming in for a refuel.

So as you can see, playing FSX, I'd love to be able to sit back and fly some formations in 131, to honor her as i remember her. 

So, of course, any information or links any of you can provide, would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I did a little bit more searching, among SimV's aircraft, and I don't know how I missed it.  But there's the IRIS F-15, with the different configurations.  I downloaded that and gave it a shot.  It looks phenomenal, even the 13 segments of burner.  :D 

Now, would anyone be willing to help me reskin 0018 to 5131?  ;)

Hello Ashbell79
I would strongly suggest that you check out this http://www.thirdwire.com/projects2.htm  it is a flight sim series that is designed around combat jets......either SF2 Europe or SF2 Isreal have a great F-15A, and if you are looking for a C or E then head over to here http://combatace.com/forum/269-thirdwir ... ion/  you will find a community that is all about combat aircraft simulations with many ex-servicemen like yourself with an eye for detail and lots of experience and historical knowledge........they have a HUGE download section that has everything....including a superpack of F-15's which includes many newer models like the C and the E.
Someone with your back ground would fit right in.
Cheers
