The external models look good on the screenshots.
The non-collimated HUD however... in 2021...
What about the features/systems depth ? Any feedback in these areas ?

I'm quoting here the description taken from the JustFlight's product page above:

Fully native MSFS aircraft

All models have been coded with Microsoft Flight Simulator native 'Model Behaviors' animations and built to MSFS operational specifications to prevent issues with future simulator upgrades.
The DC Designs F-15 Eagles are fully compliant with MSFS native materials and make use of the new simulator's features such as rain effects and sounds, fully reflective glass, native aerodynamic sound structures, the new 'Modern' aerodynamics system with the ability to provoke 'departure spins', and customised visibility controls for wheel chocks, covers, GPU and guard.
The F-15 Eagles also contain custom-built and animated effects such as G-vapor, afterburners, and custom-modelled Head-Up Displays.
Other features include authentic night lighting which includes user-operated 'slime lights' for combat operations and custom-coded air-intake animations based on aircraft airspeed and angle-of-attack.
Numerous external animations including canopy, crew ladders, tail hook and control surfaces are modelled to mimic the Eagle’s 'active' fly-by-wire systems.
The F-15 Eagles are also fully compliant with Virtual Reality headsets.

Cockpit

Truly 3D virtual cockpits featuring accurately modelled ejector seats, controls and detailed texturing, each matching the respective variants
Instruments constructed in 3D with smooth animations
Working rear-view mirrors
'Scratched canopy' glass effects, reflective glass
Crew figures in the virtual cockpit are coded to disappear when you occupy their seats
Front and rear cockpit positions included in all twin-seat variants

Aircraft systems

3D modelled dials, ADI, 'whiskey' compass and other high-detail instruments designed to emulate the appearance of the real F-15 Eagles
MFDs with visual layouts based on the real aircraft systems
Head-Up Display with authentic layout based on the real F-15 Eagle variants
Custom-coded, user-controlled ordnance via the simulator Payload Manager, allowing for live mounting of weapons on hardpoints with active weight increase.

So, it looks like the aircrafts comes with quite a few nice graphical things, including neat scratches on the canopy for example.
A payload manager is also included, if I understand correctly.
Also, the package includes the Eagle AND the Strike Eagle, which is nice for the price (33 €).
I really miss my Milviz F-15, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a while until we see any Milviz stuff in MSFS, so I may consider this product... once the HUD will be fixed, that is

The non-collimated HUD however... in 2021...

Seriously? Sadly, a showstopper for me.
