Real Fighter Pilot Flies F-15E Demo in REALISTIC Simulator | Part 2

About this video

Max demonstrates an F-15E Strike Eagle air show routine in the DCS flight simulator, his second attempt after engine failure in the first. He walks through his demonstration card and executes various maneuvers including a muscle climb, Cuban-8, aileron rolls, an Immelmann, split-S, afterburner turn, barrel roll, and vertical rolls with his backseater (Wizzo). The engines fail again after Max performs approximately 10 consecutive rolls, and he attempts unsuccessfully to restart them, ending the demonstration and promising a third attempt.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that the F-15E is sensitive to G-forces and lacks the flight limiters present in the F-16, making it easier to exceed operational limits.
• Max describes executing a muscle climb that takes the aircraft from 300 feet to three nautical miles altitude in approximately 20 seconds.
• Max notes that DCS has rendered the Las Vegas terrain, including the race track and golf course, with impressive realism.
• Max experiences a second engine failure after performing about 10 consecutive rolls, which he speculates may violate technical manual limits or be a DCS simulation issue.
