Nothing like learning how to fly a jet from someone who has flown the jet. Thanks for a great video! This is the mod I have been looking forward to more than any other!

[@captgruesomeyt1569]

idk what kinda landing that was tho.

[@xXrandomryzeXx]

@@captgruesomeyt1569 It's called a hard landing. That's when the plane hits the runway at a higher than optimal speed. It even bounced. But there is a difference in landing a plane in real life and in a game. You have quite a bit more feedback from the plane and all the forces you feel on your body, so landings are much better in real life.

[@captgruesomeyt1569]

@@xXrandomryzeXx I see what the issue is. You don’t know what "crack, shift, idle, flare" is do you? I do. He does. He didn’t apply it so again, I don’t know what kind of landing that was. He wasn’t on speed, touched down well into the under-run, and let the nose fall too soon. Landing a fighter is all visual until you touch the ground my guy.

[@Chrinik]

@@captgruesomeyt1569 While I don't know either, especially in DCS I apply the mantra of "any landing you can walk away from" etc etc... This is WIP, maybe the flight model is not quite right, maybe he just messed up his approach but didn't abort like you may consider IRL. Certainly wasn't a smooth landing, I'll give you that.

You flew that jet. I crewed it back in 2012-14. Had a permanent inspection after 50 flight hours due to a crack at the base of the left vert. I'm sure that's been fixed at depot by now. Good stuff. I'm so excited for this mod.

[@Tha1mikemike]

Thanks for working with RAZBAM on this project. They've really turned things around and IMO are one of the best devs for ED. I'm sure this module will do the F15E justice.

I had watched this video a while back, and now that I can actually fly the F-15E, I'm happy I did. I made a similar flight plan on the Nevada map (haven't put in the air-to-air yet, but I had trucks to bomb with my MK-82s), and then I flew it. It behaves like in the video, and I can confirm the waypoints behave as described, if you set a target waypoint with #T in the editor, in A-G mode you'll automatically get your bomb fall line and be able to drop your bombs (I hit 4 out of 9 trucks on my first attempt). I also entered TACAN and ILS for CREECH AFB and landed. It makes it easier to learn the basics when we've learned them with a how to video like this one before even flying the plane! Big thanks from a virtual pilot who appreciates the effort that went into making this video.

[@Samwrc13]

[@macrossMX]

The fact that this Strike Eagle is going to have the PW-229 makes me even more excited to get it once it is released. That added power is going to allow the Mudhen to fight on near equal footing with the 15C.

[@hmleao]

My compliments to the brother making the videos. Very well explained. With these instructions I feel like I'm gonna be able to fly it without much adaptation from my actual experience with other aircraft. About the module, good to see the level of detail you guys are shooting for. Confirming more and more my day one purchase.

[@AIRWARFAREGROUP]

Thanks for this well constructed video...Love that you picked NTTR! I would recommend testing different in-game GAMMA settings for more colorful texture immersion. NTTR looks washed out in this video. 2.2 is default and I remember when we couldn't adjust it, but play around with it and see what looks good to you. The desert is an amazing place and there is more color and detail than we might think. ~Juice

[@iain8837]

Fantastic video, I'm putting a lot of time into this aircraft, watching them at Lakenheath recently along with the F35! 5:22 Can I just say that the current behavior in pitch on takeoff is that the nose snaps up very easily, reaching 20 degrees up, even when passing 5 degrees and trying to very gently hold 10 degrees, it wants to snap up. Your takeoff looks much better and more realistic. Of course there may be a trick I'm missing, but watching all the takeoffs on multiplayer recently, and on vast majority of video's posted recently, I see this snap up. On landing however, it's a dream!

Awesome! So you were a pilot at the heath? I was crash recovery (crew chief) 96-02. I was there when the blue tail cartwheeled into the dirt among many other incidents. I primarily did flight control and landing gear rigging/work. I cannot wait to play this mod and compare it to what I know of the actual jet. I have worked on this tail as well. I always grab a Lakenheath tail from the 493rd when I play the C.

[@rspurdie]

I was there in 99-02 but as a strike eagle pilot’s dependent. My dad was the flight lead on that landing incident. I remember him having to go to the hospital to be with the crew after that.

any plane that can carry 12 mk82s, 2 fuel tanks, 4 aams, and i dont even know what those pods are, in a single loadout absolutely has my attention. especially while remaining fast, thats just impressive loving the avionics too, they just look so nice. someone please explain what everyones apprehension towards razbam is though, the mirage 2k seems great, the harrier is my second favorite plane in dcs, the only problem ive had is that the mig 19s targeting method with the reticle adjustments hasnt worked for me once yet.

[@sonniedae6398]

The aircraft in the past before lots of updates and major overhauls were buggy, incredibly unfinished, and poorly modeled This is due to the fact that the community is never happy no matter how the developers work 1. If the developers release the module early people complain it's unfinished 2. If the developers release the module when it's ready then people complain it took too long for them to do a "simple task" Due to the large hordes of people complaining about the 2nd one Razbam released their Av-8B and M2000 way earilier than they should have and led to the hate that these two modules unfortunately got

[@sloppydog4831]

Oh yeah, the Strike Eagle is amazing. That's why it is my number one aircraft. Regarding RAZBAM , I second everything Sonnie Dae said. Razbam had released things in the past that were not really finished yet, however, they've been always updating and supporting their modules. So, I believe will have a great product at launch and lots of support along the way. And yeah, I love the Harrier too.

Isn’t this a bit subjective? How can you say one cockpit is the best when they all have specific advantages and disadvantages in relation to each other. In terms of visibility and pilot SA, the F-16 is probably the jet of choice due to its bubble canopy.

Is there a way to set these waypoints up instead of setting it up in the mission editor?

[@josearjona]

I have doubt on the Hi Fi Flight Model, landing with alpha of 25º?, alpha indicator in HUD is wrong, the difference among the nose (the W in the HUD) and the flight path marker gives you the alpha, that part looks correct in the aproximately values that can be seen. I hope the FM and the alpha indicator is accurate enough to be a Hi Fi model.
