Work starts in ernest today on the F-15 Eagle I promised. Plans for the project are:
Multi LODs (8 probably)
Multiple loadouts
Custom Animations
I'll start with the C/D, then will come the E and then the A/B for retro modellers.
CrazyDunc has already volunteered to put together the AFCADs and Flightplans for the packages.
Keep your eyes peeled here for screenshots and updates as I go.

Great news! Now I will be able to spot at PANC without my machine practically coming to a halt everytime I swing the view towards Elmendorf.
I use Dave Bushell's excellent but AI unfriendly F-15 and I keep it because it fly's and looks fantastic (plus no suitable substitute).

Outstanding!!! Can't wait for the F-15E
I know it is a little ways down the road but I can help with the F-15E parking and callsigns at Seymour-Johnson AFB.

Nick, I can't tell you just how much I appreciate the time you and the other modelers take to post these stage by stage pic of a models' development. I study them all carefully, and learn a bit more for each one. Again --- thanks!

Thank you Nick! I've always been perplexed as to why this aircraft has been neglected for so long. BTW, does anyone know whether the new F-15Ks that were just delivered to Korea are visually any different than the regular E model?

I guess that this means that the Israeli pack is going to be delayed and increased in size. Nice one.

Yes indeed. I'm working my way through it checking the F-16 and C-130 FPS. Also trying to get the AFCADs as close to Google Earth as possible. The F-15 will be a big bonus.
