DC Designs F-15C/E/I Eagle package

Quite a lengthy to-do list!
And can I put my hand up for the Viper?
We need a good up to date version.

Quite a hefty todo list as mention. I like the idea of the F-16 and jaguar for sure. The Grob is a good shout too. Looking forward to them. I think Dino was going to redo his F-14 too.

Almost there, just coding the display layouts to match those of the real F-15E, where references are available and tidying things up in general. Should be a wrap for the testers by the end of this week, fingers crossed!

Love the cockpit shots. I'm definitely looking forward to this release. Thanks for making so many variants.

Grob 120TP sounds interesting. Practicing it's ETPS colour scheme on the DA42:

I'm getting about 3 - 5 requests per day for various squadrons and of course simply can't do them all. However, the Eagles will come with a paint kit so I'm certain that repainting fans will start producing textures soon after launch in the same way that they have for the Super Hornets, which already have dozens of repaints available.

[ZsoltB]

Does the package include the paintkit?

Finito!

Modeling complete, manual written, coding and testing finished. Final compile will be completed over the weekend once it's confirmed there are no more bugs to fix, and then the Eagles will be released according to Just Flight's schedule. I'll post here once they're available.

Looks nice, Dean.

Does the E/F/G Hornet use the same or similar AB/reheat effect you're showing here for the F-15? I like the look of this one a bit more than the older pics/vids I've seen of that project. Yet I'm eager to get it, so if there's a chance to tweak that one's AB, I'm a sold customer.

For me, it's always (and almost only) about naval birds, so the '15 isn't quite my bag, but I've watched the vids and been closely watching the project unfold just for interest sake. It looks gorgeous, and I hope it does really well for you. Who knows, if either a C prototype or NASA repaint emerges, it just might push me over the edge. Zero interest in the E, but I could imagine springing for sake of getting the C.

Congrats in advance,

The Hornet's afterburners aren't as nice as those with the F-15, but it's only a texture issue - they can be altered by anybody who wants to improve them. I'm going to be updating the Hornets later this year, and the burners will match those of the F-15 when it's done. All part of the learning and, hopefully, improving process for me

That's totally fair, Dean.

Thanks again.

One big reason many projects are held up beyond when they could have been released. . .developers trying to satisfy the volume of requests for specific liveries. I have always found it unnecessary really. If someone is interested in an aircraft only if they can have a specific livery then they aren't really interested. Do a couple as part of the release, let the individuals learn to do their own or wait for the masters to start cranking them out. . .if it's an "iconic" aircraft, as this one surely is, then to paraphrase a line from a great movie. . ."If you build it. . .they will paint it".

Wise words Because my airplanes are specifically not study-level, I try to match the "value-for-money" of complex systems with lots of variants and paints with each product, plus a paint kit, to make them as complete as possible for those who buy them and for the community at large. I do try to do as much in the way of requests as I can, but you're right, the line has to be drawn somewhere.
