McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle Version 1.3
For SimplePlanes
The F-15’s design was originally guided by the principle, “not a pound for air-to-ground.” However, when the United States Air Force (USAF) called for a new strike fighter in the 1981 Enhanced Tactical Fighter program, McDonnell Douglas proposed the twin-seat F-15E, a further development of the already existing Fuel and Sensor, Tactical (FAST) pack for F-15’s. The F-15E has an additional 6 hardpoints on the fuselage capable of mounting various guided and unguided munitions in addition to an AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod and a targeting pod. Despite this, it retains the air-to-air lethality of its predecessor. To assist in weapons operations, a Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) sits in the rear seat.
The F-15E is operated primarily by the USAF, but specialized variants are used by Israel (F-15I), South Korea (F-15K), Qatar (F-15QA), Saudi Arabia (F-15S), and Singapore (F-15SG). Read more...

Author’s Notes
- Controls included in craft instructions.
- Be careful when dropping PGM’s. Not facing your target may cause it to collide with your own aircraft. If you are too far outside the parameters where an unguided bomb would hit, the PGM’s will still miss.
- Dropping PGM's in slow motion will cause the missile trail to show.
- The twin-seat canopy can be easily removed and saved as a subassembly to convert the F-15C into a two-seater.

When will you make a Su-37 Flanker-F/Terminator?
@ReinMcDeer Then I suggest you try my method of using F/A-18E/F tail stablizers as canard. In that way, you can make the plane even more maneuverable since they are very large.
@Ownedpilot Not sure I agree with the F-15E having limited dogfight capability...
But I am considering making a STOL/MTD
Just a curious question, since F-15E has very limited dogfighting capability, would you consider doing a S/MTD modification to the F-15E so it can have better mobility? I have already done a version I wonder how you would approach it.
Could you potentially make an su17 or su22?
@ReinMcDeer aww that's unfortunate for me. I guess I have to work my ass off to try to make one
@Applecrumble I don't do a true JHMCS on my aircraft
for JHMCS enabled missiles, the maxTargetingAngle is just set to 90
@ReinMcDeer hey do u know how to make the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System? I got difficulties making one for the F-15SG
So whats gonna be your next plane?
@Zummy Hey, I'm quite happy with your airplane. simple details and most importantly free
I have a suggestion for the future. I see you upload fighter planes too often. I have a suggestion why not try new things like bombers.
@ZeroWithSlashedO
"Why are you gae"
@ReinMcDeer @Th3Missil3
Also performance points!
One rotor is like 19 performance points 19 X 4 = 76 not including the bomb, detacher or fins. So 6 will be more than 456 performance points. And this is also without details.
@Th3Missil3 It is; the FT is doable, but Snake eyes would take up more parts since the rotors and fins would be 8 parts minimum + a bomb + a detacher so a snakeye would be 10 parts minimum. So 6 snake eyes already bumps up the part count by 60 at least and thats not counting extra details.
Ohh my god You really Make my request F-15E Variant my favorit version F-15 Thanks bro
@ReinMcDeer Forgot about that, my bad.
is it possible to make high drag bombs?
@Applecrumble from the front, the left rotator is the target tracking rotor and the one on the right is the stabilization
@ReinMcDeer which is the pitch tracking rotor and pitch stabilisation rotor, if viewed from the from, the one on the left or right
@ReinMcDeer yeah I don’t understand that stuff, I messed around with it for like almost 3 hours and damn was I tired as hell, when I connect a motor wrongly, it will just not work, so I just borrowed the sniper pod from @ ZeroWithSlashedO f15
@Applecrumble Woops 🤷♂️
If you look inside the targeting pod, you'll find a total of 4 rotators.
One keeps the camera's roll level with the ground and another keeps the camera's pitch level. These are on at all times.
The next two control pitch and yaw and will direct the camera towards the selected target. For these rotators to work properly, the yaw rotator needs to be level with the ground, which is why we need the first two rotators.
.
The connection order is:
Aircraft > Roll stabilizer rotor > Pitch stabilizer rotor > Yaw tracking rotor > Pitch tracking rotor > Camera
.
You can copy and paste the code and reverse-engineer it as you need to.
Garuda Team, time to take-off!
bomba egelNow with passenger seat
@ReinMcDeer How does the targeting pod work, I’m trying to modify it to a Lockheed Martin Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod
F-5C Skoshi Tiger next ?
Aww man I just published a version of your f15c that I modified to f15sg :(
