Hi all, I have start a project that will see the USAFE F-15's return to the skies on Weescotty's great new F-15C/D. These images are from Bitburg but also to be included are the F-15's from Soesterberg and Keflavik. I am also building some basic scenery for Bitburg.

Dale, the HAS's have no thickness to them and are you sure the doors open like that. Aren't they clamshell doors?

Re: Where the Eagles once roamed
John, I have made the HAS have no thickness becuase with there being a lot of objects at Bitburg and me not knowing how to LOD with FSDS I went for the thin layer mainly for performance also coupled with having around 60-70 aircraft it might be more like watching a slide show and I checked and the doors do open like that. Chris, these are new models that have not yet been released

Re: Where the Eagles once roamed
You are right Dale, just looked at the Google Earth image and the doors do indeed slide like that.

Re: Where the Eagles once roamed
Strictly speaking they are not USAF C/D models.
There are a couple of differences.
I am guessing they used a mixture of A, B, C and D.
If really early ones the exhausts would need to be changed.
A quick fix is to replace the port tail pod with the thicker USAF one, and remove the RWR receiver from the rear starboard boom for the A and B. Leave the RWR receiver for later C and D.
Rest would be mainly Sparrows in place of the AIM-120, and if the fins are different an earlier AIM-9.
They are 3rd in line for modding after -
I finish up the E's (currently at 32 load outs with few more to do)
Then the S
Then USAF A B C D
May squeeze in an E with the new GBU-39/B, a quick test wasn't promising though.
A single 'rack' with 4 of them runs around 500 polys, and they can carry up to 7 racks!
