The plane is a fictional repaint of a USAF McDonnell-Douglas F-15A Eagle of the 49th FIS, ADTAC
at Griffiss AFB, NY. The 49th was originally slated to exchange their F-106 Delta Darts for the Eagle in 1986, but the Air Force ended up changing it's mind and the unit was instead deactivated in 1987. The reason I know this is that I was there, a member of the 49th from 1982 to the deactivation, serving as a T-33 Crew Chief. It was a sad day indeed when we had to say goodbye to our friends and go on to other assignments, myself to the B-1B.
This is a Gmax model for FS2002. Aircraft by Kimitaka Nishida. Repaint by Russ Sisco, MSgt, USAF, Retired. Flame and Afterburner effects by Paul Barry
To manually install, unzip first to a temporary directory. Then copy the folder
F-15a49fis (found in the aircraft directory) to your main aircraft directory in FS2002.
If you also want the flame and afterburner effects, then copy the contents of the effects
folder into your main FS2002 effects folder. A further option is to hear a boom when the
afterburners are lit. For this effect, copy the contents of the SOUND folder to your main
FS2002 sound folder.
Note, if you have already downloaded any of Paul Barry's repaints, the effects and sound files for
the flame and burner are the same - so you don't need to use them again.
Aircraft panel and sound are aliased to the FS Learjet, so you will ideally need to download
an F15 panel and sound. I Paul Barry recommends the Paul Schwerdtfeger panel "f15pn2k2.zip". For sound he uses
Mike Hambly's F16 sound "ba f16.zip" (both aircraft use the P&W F100 engine).

Effects
--------
For maximum effects press the letter I key for wing contrails and for smoke above a certain
height. Press the letters L and or O to see the flame and afterburner effects.
You can also use cockpit panel switches for landing and navigation lights, and the letter O
(or the cockpit strobe light switch) for strobe/afterburner effects. This works with the
default Lear panel. Other panels may vary.
