Photorealistic 3D cockpit with real cockpit textures provided by Gene Buckle from his unique F-15C Eagle Flight Simulator Project.Realistic FDM based on windtunnel-derived aerodynamic data found in (AFIT/GAE/ENY/90D-16).5.9.1 Vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI).1.1 Simulation Fidelity and limitations.The variants of the F-15 modeled in FlightGear are the F-15C (single-seater) and the F-15D (two-seater training variant). The F-15 production line was initially set to end in 2019, 47 years after the type's first flight. The F-15 Eagle is expected to be in service with the U.S. The design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed, entering service in 1989. For this reason only air to air missiles are currently supported. Its design included a secondary ground-attack capability that was largely unused in the C and D variants. The F-15 was originally envisioned as a pure air superiority aircraft. The F-15 downed the majority of Iraqi aircraft in the Gulf War of 1991, and the same in the Balkan conflict of 1999. The Eagle boasts an all-service kill ratio of 104:0. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas' design in 1967 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat.
