The plane is a USAF Boeing(McDonnell-Douglas) F-15C Eagle of the 493rd FS, 48th FW, from RAF
Lakenheath, UK (1996).
This is a Gmax model for FS2002. Aircraft by Kimitaka Nishida. Repaint by Paul Barry.
History
-------
After downloading and flying the excellent F-15J by Kimitaka Nishida, I thought that I would
create some new unit textures. This is my third repaint of his F-15. I have based my repaint
on photographs of the squadron flagship that I took in 1994-96. This aircraft has low-vis
markings apart from the colourful tail.
If you like this repaint, see also my first two repaints-
57th FS repaint "f15cis.zip"
36th TFW repaint "f15cbt.zip"
I like "good visuals" so I have added flame and afterburner effects to the aircraft (thanks
to Peter Davies and JR for their work).
I have used and tested the plane in FS2002 pro. I expect it to work in FS2002 std also.
Installation
------------
For automatic installation, unzip to your main FS2002 directory.
To manually install (PREFERABLE), unzip first to a temporary directory. Then copy the folder
F-15cLN (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 my earlier 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 use the Paul Schwerdtfeger panel "f15pn2k2.zip". For sound I use
Mike Hambly's F16 sound "ba f16.zip" (both aircraft use the P&W F100 engine).
Now just load up FS and fly!

Credits
--------
Many thanks to Kimitaka Nishida for his fantastic F-15. Also thanks to him for showing me
how to paint the canopy seals. Thanks to Peter Davies for allowing me to use his Su-27
files for the flame and afterburner effects. Thanks also to JR for his kind support.
I think that the sound files are from CFS2-so thanks!
My work is limited to the repaint and the half day I spent positioning the flame and
afterburner effects on the F15!
