F-15 Replica

[RocketTurtle]

So, I made this F-15 tonight. Flies pretty nicely. Looks nice IMO. Here are some pics and the .craft. Also a pic supporting the fact that fighter jets glide like bricks.

Also, the pictures are outdated, the download has a more upgraded variant.

Epic blur flyby!

Epic sexy shot.

Off to the island!

Gear lowering.

Final Approach.

Nononono! Wait!

SPOOL UP! COME ON!!!

Welp.

At least it looks cool!

I will be adding stuff/weapons. If you have any constructive criticism it is appreciated!

Updated download with one that resembles the F-15 a bit more, also added an epic blur pic.

I've crashed my f4 phantom into that hill face on the runway so many times, its almost invisible until you're ontop of it. So to answer the question "do fighter jets glide like bricks?" why yes, yes they do.

Good job on the plane only complaint is that its kind of square-boxish.

would be nice to see your F-15 and my F-16C in fight

I too, have an f4.

Maybe if someone knows how to work the multiplayer mod we can fly in formation!

i only see it one time in a twitch stream. and it was more like a position indicator on the overview map and you can't see the other craft :-/ don't know if it's now different

[RocketTurtle]

Well I heard you have to get 40 km away from the launchpad to be in the same "universe", but I'll ask the mod dev if it's changeable, 40 km seems absurd. I don't think any craft would interfere even at 500 m.

[9t3ndo]

Would it be possible, it would be so le...... wait a moment ....gendary

[AirShark]

Dogfights!

[briansun1]

seems cool

[Odo]

Me and SaveFerris have been wanting to dogfight and fly in formation for ages now but we havent been able to. I dont think the KMP supports it, the other players plane would be basically invisible and very jumpy.

[RocketTurtle]

Welp. Plane crashed, game crashed. I don't recommend kamikazeing one F-15 into the other...

[RocketTurtle]

Also, the tail fins on my plane seem to short, but I can't get the taller wings to attach right... you know the ones like the delta wings just skinnier? Yeah, if anyone can download the craft and get them attached it would be appreciated!

[RocketTurtle]

No, the "Structural Wing".

[9t3ndo]

hmm ok second try

[RocketTurtle]

But pointing upwards.

[RocketTurtle]

Updated a few things. So now it's the F-15 C.

i think its the better way

upwards these wings are a little bit to high im think ^^'

[RocketTurtle]

Hm. Yeah, I'll leave them.

[RocketTurtle]

Added the fuel tanks under the wings that F-15's have.

[RocketTurtle]

Ugh, nevermind it flies terribly with the tanks... have a bit of work to do...

Alright, got it working.

If multiplayer is available, then i would join you with my F-22 and F-35. This would be nice dogfight

[RocketTurtle]

Yeah. One problem is that these replicas don't have their real life advantages... maybe if mods become compatible with KMP we can use the gatling gun mod or the Lazor mod.
