Wow! Looking really good.
We definitely need more native FSX AIs that don't kill FPS like the FS9 portovers.
They are in a lot of need... I know MAIW considered of reverting to FSX from FS9
AI model making, but I don't know the final decisions...

Even though "teen" military jets aren't generally my cup of tea, I have to applaud John Young for his breadth of work. From WWII birds to Hunters, Buccs, Phantoms, to later birds - his work is superb, and covers many genres. How he manages to get so much detail at so little performance hit is astounding - all the more so when you couple his work with ACG sceneries, btw.

As of the last "poll" / discussion they had, the consensus remains FS9 with possible FSX conversions/options - but not likely a fullscale retargeting to FSX.

No worries, though; between JY and Micheal Pearson (whose FS9 models port over very well,) my cup runs over, from the standpoint of mil AI.

Kudos JY!!

Thanks John, very nice!

I'm trying to make a flyable aircraft (with Dino's F-14 VC) but the canopy stays open and the control surface are frozen... Maybe it's made on purpose, so that these AI aircrafts can't be converted to something else? Any clue?

That should be related to the .xml code JY used to have the advanced AI animations (RBF flags, extinguisher, etc).

not to mention John Young used to and probably still makes excellent scenery for FS. I remember his superb RAF Mildenhall scenery.

The included paint kit is easy to use; made a late 1970's 32nd TFS F-15A retro paint for the NL2000 Soesterberg EHSB scenery:

Does anybody by chance have some flightplans/traffic files for these? I am no good with flightplans myself...

Yes, I am (slowly) working on a Soesterberg 32nd TFS retro traffic pack, once finished (don't ask me when) I might do some 36th TFW Bitburg Eagles.

John makes such great ai... looks realistic without hitting performance. Just makes me realize how much we need an native fsx f15 single seater that we can fly... such a great looking aeroplane. I'm amazed no developer has done one prior to now.

Zsolt, I use Michael Wood's FS9 Bitburg scenery + the update by Hartwig Ullrich (details are in the README.txt file I included with my AVSIM upload). There is a FSX/P3D scenery by Günter Kraemer on Flightport (http://www.flightport.de/) but I have not tried it yet.

Looking very nice Zsolt.
Thanks for releasing the Lakenheath Eagles, I used them to replace the MAIW FS9 models in my FSX install and they look great.

Are you planning on releasing the other Eagle repaints as well?

Also if I could be greedy, are you planning on repainting them for the Oregon ANG birds?

Thanks
Gavin

I just came across this thread, and am EAGLEy waiting for some great new traffic in P3d V4. Trying to populate all the great USAFE bases from the late Cold War era. You guys are great!
