104 to 0 / F-15C Eagle V4.0

Well, it's been a hot minute. Having not played the game for a while, I decided to remake my favorite aircraft, the F-15.

Although it looks very similar to the V3 Eagle, the shaping is quite different. Most notably, the transition from the wing to the "tennis court" is much flatter, which removes the seam that appears on the older version. And of course, it is built to the G4 standard, meaning proper landing gear bays and the airbrake actually being part of the body.

The inlets work largely the same as V3, responding to AOA, airspeed, and throttle. But, this time around, the right inlet will move down after the left on startup, roughly simulating starting one engine at a time. While landing, the inlets will also switch to staying parallel to the ground.

And here it is compared to all the past versions I've made of the F-15, with the oldest at the top and V4 at the bottom.

Right now, flight model testing and small details are the priority. For weaponry, the AIM-9M Sidewinder, AIM-7M Sparrow, and AIM-120B AMRAAM are planned. And of course, there is also an M61 Vulcan with 910 rounds in the fuselage.

Currently, the build is at 465 parts.
