Ah, I get it! Well, they succeeded.
DCS: F-15E Strike Eagle
Building upon their excellent M-2000C, Harrier, and MiG-19, RAZBAM is hard at work on the iconic F-15E Strike Eagle. Given the massive complexity and mission flexibility of this aircraft, it will be a very challenging module that we are sure RAZBAM will exceed expectations.
While there are other 3rd party aircraft in development, they are currently not under a development license agreement. Once they are, we look forward to providing you with updates on them.

I saw these yesterday on Razbam's Facebook page and all the other DCS pages. It created quite a debate over the heavy weathering of some of the cockpit textures. I understand that depending on the age of such an aircraft that there will be a degree of wear that is unavoidable but as some Crew Chiefs point out, they spent many hours taking care of their birds and at various intervals through the lifespan of the jet, the cockpits would receive refurbishing to avoid dead/dry paint dust and flakes from getting into electrical contacts and switches. I have to say, that cockpit looks rather abused, nearly boneyard ready but they claim they were using an active reference for the textures. I know a lot of tedious long hours goes into these things but hopefully they will consider a happy medium in between hard weathering and factory fresh. Personally I wish you could select between the two like the switch that's been added for the different F-16 canopy tints. Nevertheless, this is a must have module!

Hello Storm,I hear where your coming from,Actually there's been a lot of debate on how much weathering The Tomcat pit has,Although I love that "Lived" in look,I know it's not for everyone.I do think The Hornet pit has a nice amount of weathering done.DCS recently updated The A-10C pit...and it looks brand new...It's stunning!!
I'm not sure if you listened to The GR Nick Grey interview I posted in The P-47 thread? but Nick did say they were adding a "option" to add a weathered pit to the A-10C so hopefully that trend continues and other developers add this option.
Also,RAZBAM posted this pic of a Strike Eagle pit...not sure if this ones from The Boneyard or heading there soon!! lol it does look pretty beatup

I know it's early but it would sure be interesting to see this F-15E model evolve into an F-15EX at some point. The base model is pretty much the same, it would just need the updated panel, engine nozzles, and wing hard points. The panel coding at this point would be pointless as no one knows what it can do but based on public information, the guesswork would likely get it close enough for DCS. Just a thought.
