Real Fighter Pilot Flies F-15E Demo in MOST REALISTIC Simulator | Part 3

About this video

Max flies his third attempt at an F-15E Strike Eagle demonstration in the DCS flight simulator after his engines failed in previous attempts. He performs various aerobatic maneuvers including afterburner turns, a Cuban 8, aileron rolls, a Cobra maneuver, and a double hammer maneuver. Max explains that this video focuses on demonstrating what he would do as an F-15E demo pilot, and he plans to create a separate video evaluating DCS realism.

Key takeaways

• Max recounts that his first attempt failed when his engine quit after flying inverted too long and performing too many aileron rolls, which he suggests may or may not be fully realistic in the simulator.
• Max explains he is adapting maneuvers he performed with the F-16 Thunderbirds to the F-15E, treating mountainous terrain like a skateboard half-pipe as he did at Nellis.
• Max demonstrates multiple aerobatic maneuvers including afterburner turns, Cuban 8s, vertical rolls, the Cobra (or Pugachev’s Cobra), and double hammer maneuvers, noting that the goal is to stay on the horizon and avoid exceeding G-limits.
