Iris have released their F15 for both Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004:
The F-15 Eagle continues our range of quality products from IRIS and is fully compatible with both Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight.
We have really outdone ourselves with the F-15 Eagle by taking what we have learned from the F-14 Tomcat, by far our best seller and improving over it in certain areas. The F-15 Virtual Cockpit is FULLY textured, every switch, panel and rivet has been artistically rendered to provide a thoroughly immersive experience.
We have provided a large amount of custom animations both inside and outside the aircraft, with the variable position intakes moving according to the aircrafts angle of attack to ensure optimum airflow into the engines. These are also set to fully down when the gear is lowered and automatically raise when the engines are shut down. The variable doors inside the intakes are also automated to adjust the speed of airflow into the engines for supersonic flight.
We have also once again had the privilege to employ the sound genius of Christoffer Petersen who has provided us with some excellent sounds for the F-15 recorded from the real deal which I am sure will have you playing with that volume control!
And for those of you with the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator, FSX, we have optimised and adjusted Chris’ excellent soundset for the F-15 to fine form in FSX featuring full 360 degree sound panning! Now hear the roar of the engines from the rear of the aircraft and the turbine jet whine from the front. Those tower flybys will NEVER be the same again!
And if you thought that was pretty good, we have provided a total of twenty one visual models and thirteen textures to pretty much cover all that you’ll see the F-15C do, from the Aggressor Squadrons at Nellis in both twin seat F-15D model and single seat F-15C models to the fantastically colourful display paints of the JASDF who fly the single seat F-15J and twin seat F-15DJ.
Firstly, I would like to thank Marvin Howell for providing the research materials needed for creating this wonderful rendition of the IRIS F-15 which includes the C, D, J and DJ variants of the Dogfighter version of this iconic aerial masterpiece. I would also like to thank Scott Printz for the permission to use under licence his superb military HUD which really adds a whole new dimension to this aircraft!
Lastly though I would like to commend Zack from Thunder Media Productions for his superb interior artwork which truly does bring this fantastic product to life. Without the talent of these gentlemen and our usual contributors, this product would be a shadow of its current self.
Overall, we’ve had an absolute blast making this rendition of the F-15 and I’m sure it shows!
