Fantastic, count me as one of those watching the progress of this one. Been hoping Diego or someone would give us a preview. Thanks Diego.

No problem.

Perhaps in the next few days we'll have one of those 3D previews for you guys.

If you guys keep turning out those lovely crates you might convert me into a jet jockey, great stuff!
The seat looks as if the pilot **** in his pants once or twice, LOL. :icon_lol:

[jeansy]

sorry that will be me, too much coffee pre flight

The stains actually look like the pilot got a little er....overstimulated by his manovers.

Or scared by a near mid-air! I wondered about those stain patterns as well. How about when Piglet modeled the "Used" Dog Treats on the cargo deck of his AN-32??? I think that was a first for flightsim! lol

[DagR]

Wow, look at that seat pack!

An instant buy for me, I have waited a long time for a FSX F-15C:jump:

[FlameOut]

Wow, look at that seat pack!

Yea, I left a stain there after that last trip through "Mach Alley", sorry 'bout that ! :applause:

[Victory103]

The seat is way off, where are the armrests??? Just kidding, looking good.

Diapers anyone?

Excellent work on the MSIP Eagle. Maybe too late, but the green seat cushions were replaced by black wool covers around 199/2000 as jets rotated through Southern Watch/Northern Watch deployments. Our Eglin birds did, and IIRC the Eagles we replaced did also.

Still very nice!

In reference to the seat stains, a very common way to get into a fighter cockpit is to step on the seat bottom.

[Naruto-kun]

A wet boot?

[JAllen]

Yep, a wet boot, wet with hydraulic fluid, engine oil, or any of a dozen other little puddles on the flightline or especially in phase docks. Maintainers also step into the cockpit from time to time, yeah like 10 times more than aircrew. Never saw anyone clean the bottom of a boot before getting into the cockpit. But I haven't been on the working flightline since 1988 so things must have changed by now. Right?

[HvyEng]

Looks perfect to me, just the right amount of weathering!

[ST0RM]

The seat looks right to me

2 years of working on the ACES II seat gave me a slightly different perspective and attention to that kind of detail.

Hey Jeff!

I actually made the conscious choice to go with the green fabric covering instead of the black wool; mainly due to the fact that wool texturing always
looks rather flat and pasted on when not dealing with alpha textures and utilizing the techniques for rendering fur in realtime.

I've also come across quite a few images with the green covers still on; so perhaps some Eagles have remained in this state. :)

Excellent choice because the green allows more artistic character and thats more interesting. Well done.

No worries Nick. Your green covers do have tremendous detail and look excellent. I didnt realize the wool look wouldnt do well. Learn something everyday.

Looking forward to it's release.

I miss these guys down at Tyndall.....82615
Who knows what the future holds. I have pics from several shows down there though. I love the FS community because they keep the defunct or moved units intact, just like I remember them.

Great stuff once again!

One of my first up colse experiences with a jet was at Soesterberg, when an F-15 from the 'Wolfhounds' scrambled. At that time there was a small hill at the end of the runway to watch the aircraft take-off, and seeing an F-15 take-off full afterburner into a vertical climb left a lasting impression! Too bad the days of the Wolfhounds at Camp Amsterdam are now long gone..

All we have (Had, as it is in storage now, repainted and awaiting its place in the new museum..) is this one at the Soesterberg museum:

Always love the US jet line-up there, and with the Razbam F-102, Milviz F-86 and upcoming F-100 and F-15 I can have all four in the sim soon.
