Features
Fully native MSFS aircraft
All
models have been coded with Microsoft Flight Simulator native ‘Model
Behaviors’ animations and built to MSFS operational specifications to
prevent issues with future simulator upgrades.
The
DC Designs F-15 Eagles are fully compliant with MSFS native materials
and make use of the new simulator’s features such as rain effects and
sounds, fully reflective glass, native aerodynamic sound structures, the
new ‘Modern’ aerodynamics system with the ability to provoke ‘departure
spins’, and customised visibility controls for wheel chocks, covers,
GPU and guard.
The F-15
Eagles also contain custom-built and animated effects such as G-vapor,
afterburners, and custom-modelled Head-Up Displays.
Other
features include authentic night lighting which includes user-operated
‘slime lights’ for combat operations and custom-coded air-intake
animations based on aircraft airspeed and angle-of-attack.
Numerous
external animations including canopy, crew ladders, tail hook and
control surfaces are modelled to mimic the Eagle’s ‘active’ fly-by-wire
systems.
The F-15 Eagles are also fully compliant with Virtual Reality headsets.
