McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle
For SimplePlanes
Country of Origin: United States
Role: Multirole Fighter, Air Superiority Fighter
Crew: 1
Livery: Standard USAF Air Superiority Gray (Red Band)
A manifestation of the shortcomings of the TFX F-111 and the MiG-25 scare, the F-15C Eagle is a pure air superiority fighter with an impressive service record. Despite its large size, it boasts high survivability and maneuverability, thanks to its high thrust to weight ratio and low wing loading. The C-model incorporates various internal upgrades, including improved radar, fuel capacity, engines, and an overload warning system. In addition, it has the capability to carry the active-radar-homing AIM-120 AMRAAM, as well as upgraded versions of the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder.
The F-15C (and equivalent variants) continues to be operated by Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, where it is a supplement to the F-22. Read more...

Author’s Notes
- Fuel and gun ammo is unlimited.
- On takeoff, I recommend 50% trim with 100% flaps. Get to around 300 km/h and give slight taps for the pitch to avoid tail striking. (For keyboard users)
- I recommend having a little upwards VTOL, especially at lower speeds.

I've used most of ur aircraft in simulates but f15 is ur best one
Could you make the f-15e strike eagle, its basically an f-15c but thicc with bombs
Just in case you forgot, you should probably update this plane and the Su-30C/SM to remove the muffled audio thing, if forgot how: Open the wing cameras in overload, select CameraVantage, add "cockpitAudio" and set it to false. Unless you didn't change it on purpose. (Btw if you want to you can turn off the rotator noise by adding "audio" on them and setting it to false)
ever thought of building bombers?
@ReinMcDeer sounds like a plan.
@ThatKindaWeeb I was planning to do a Strike Eagle based on this one
I'd probably do the normal E before the AMRAAM magic schoolbus though
@ReinMcDeer also for the 4.0 gen of this, mabye you could build it like the new EX Strike Eagle that's "out of the cage"
@ReinMcDeer I agree
@ThatKindaWeeb I was thinking about doing a Foxbat, but a MiG-31 would also be pretty dope
@ReinMcDeer Maybe you could make the FOXHOUND to combat the F-15C 3.0?
turns microwave on
-Whoa!, Look at those utensils go!
@transnigger no promises, but sure
@ReinMcDeer yeah true that’s what it’s all about
@donkski It's all cool as long as I still enjoy making builds
@firered567 Been thinking about it
@ReinMcDeer hey can you pls make the f105 thunderchief
I love your build style. I am not good at building with this game’s editor tools. Make a low part count, smooth, to scale F-35B body that’s not 4 years old and I’ll give it a banger gyro free lift system complete with auto transition from VTOL to CTOL?
great build sad ur builds doesn’t get as much attention as they used to
Little question any plans on remastering the F-4E model?
Nice Build Great work on the intakes!
@EdamCheese6 I've seen plenty of others that have it :P
@SyntheticL Thanks!
Yo buddy, you still alive?
better than mine
The variable intakes look very cool, not seen any other builds using them.
@ReinMcDeer Huh, TIL
@Korzalerke That's intended
The arresting hook is inside the fuselage, not sure if intended or not just thought i should say that.
