Well I picked up the IRIS F-15E from PC Aviator during the sale.

Very nice shots, especially the one with the condensation effect on the wings.
I'm still totally undecided between the two F-15s. The IRIS one looks nicer, but I'm pretty sure I might be dissappointed by the realism of the avionics...

Wonderful set...well done...

very nice, with #3 my favorite too

I agree about shot #3....WOW

Just out of curiosity, Daube are you comparing the Milviz and the Iris F-15.....if so, I'm having the same problem    The $20 price tag on the Iris bird is beginning to sway me though

I haven't flown this that much yet but here's a quick pros/cons.

Pros:
Gorgeous modeling inside and out
Awesome VC front and rear
Great effects (lighting, explosions, etc)
Ordinance manager works on the fly, literally, via override switch
Very fun to fly aggressively

Cons:
Iffy engine start up (fires off before adding fuel or doesn't fire when you do)
Random flameouts during cruise (I need to research the manual to see if I'm somehow out of operating limits)
Bombs\missiles disappear then reappear directly under the center of the aircraft when firing/dropping
Seems like missiles become ai when fired because the radar locks onto the fired missile and tracks it as such while displaying LOCK/SHOOT
Aircraft seems to have electrical power at times when it shouldn't
Shakes violently left/right while braking after landing (could be that I don't have pedals so it's all on instead of slow pressure)

I can't really give a full systems review because I haven't gotten into it that in depth yet, but I think it's a lot more than their A-10/C-27 that I have, but less than the Superbug.

Again take that for what its worth because I still have low seat time, but I think it's good buy for what it costs right now for sure. 8-)

BOld Tiger Pride! Gota the the 391st, I see thoes guys all the time over my house, and my avatar is the 391st logo.  Have you done a bombing run yet? 

I did and it's fantastic!

I THINK I've solved my flameout issue and it was pilot error

Here try this out,  This is Mountain Home Scenery, even come with the Saylors Creek Bombing Rang that the IANG and Air Force uses.  You can even drive right behind it!

Awesome shots. 8-)

They came up with a fix for that (from there F-15 Development facebook page),

Hello Everyone,
We noticed a few people having issues with Braking, it simply has too much power causing the aircraft to deviate from course and lose control. This will help fix that issue.

go into your "Aircraft.cfg"

search for

[brakes]
toe_brakes_scale = 2.50

... and change to:

[brakes]
toe_brakes_scale = 1.00

Thanks FoxThree!!
