McDonnell Douglas F-15 C, E & I Eagle for MSFS

These aircraft have used Microsoft Flight Simulator code and native “Model Behaviors” animations, meaning that there will be no issue with any future Microsoft upgrades.

They are also fully compliant with Microsoft Flight Simulator native materials, as well as the features of the simulator, such as reflective glass, general sounds, rain effects, and much more.

Furthermore, each of the aircraft contains custom-built animated effects, including afterburners and G-vapor. There are also custom-modeled Head-up Displays.

The night lighting takes the realism to another level entirely, perhaps especially so with the user-operated slime lights used for combat operations, as well as custom-coded air-intake animations which are based on such things as the speed of the aircraft and the angle of attack. 

The realism and authenticity continue with the highly detailed cockpits which are accurately replicated in 3D and with highly detailed textures. They further include controls, 3D instruments, and modeled ejector seats. In fact, these 3D dials and instruments, including a “whiskey” compass and visual layout, are based on the actual F-15 appearance and systems.

All twin-seat variants include both front and rear cockpit positions, and whichever seat you choose to position yourself in, the crew figures are coded to disappear as you do so. Furthermore, there are working rear-view mirrors and the “scratched canopy” glass effects and reflective glass brings the cockpits to life even more.

The live mounting of weapons on hardpoints with the active weight increase is custom coded and available as user-controlled ordnance through the Payload Manager simulator.

The external features are also highly detailed, including the canopy and crew ladders, and there are custom visibility controls for wheel chocks, covers, GPU, and guards. Further still, there are eight different liveries offered across the four aircraft, as well as Paint Kit and full operations manual.

In short, these DC Designs F-15 Eagle aircraft are as close to the real planes as any virtual pilot will get and will surely not disappoint.
