This is a Gmax model for FS2002/2004. 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. Over a period I created eleven repaints. I produced this NASA
version a few months ago, but did not upload it to the major sites. Recently, I have been using FS2004/FS9/FSCOF! The F15 seems to work ok in this latest version, so I decided to upload the NASA livery.
If you like this repaint, see also my previous repaints-
All have been repainted from photographs and so show a good level of detailed accuracy.
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 this plane in FS2004/FS9.
Installation
------------
For automatic installation, unzip to your main FS directory.
To manually install (PREFERABLE), unzip first to a temporary directory. Then copy the folder
F-15NAS (found in the aircraft directory) to your main aircraft directory.
If you also want the flame and afterburner effects (and wing contrails), then copy the contents of the effects
folder into your main FS 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
FS sound folder.
Aircraft panel and sound are aliased to the FS Learjet, so you will ideally need to download
an F15 panel and sound. 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!

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.
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 repaints and the half day I spent positioning the flame and
afterburner effects on the F15!
