I read that the Iris F-15E fully supports the WSO; I have not flown it, but it's probably worth looking into.

I haven't seen though where Iris F-15E has any amount of working avionics to suppoer the rear pit though. The Iris bird I believe is more eye candy than substance, though very delightful candy indeed. Milviz also comes with some very nice AI and scenery as well. My monies on the Milviz bird.

Thanks for the reply, strykerpsg

It will still lack ground and air AI (it will include a basic SA-2 that will work like AIcarrier, that's it) as well as a virtual marhsall.

yes they can put a sniper pod on them .. that's the same we use in DCS A10 I believe?? Or is it lightening TGP?

The F/A-18E/F uses the AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR.

I apologize in advance for being blunt but as a long time user of FSX, IMHO trying to convert FSX into a pseudo combat-sim is a fool's errand: you will never get a combat AI.

Its no fools errand as TacPac will bring just that - on a multiplayer platform.

Ok, no AI *yet*, but never say never. You only need someone to code AI, that's all, there's no magic there. AI is pretty dumb and predicatbale anyways, multiplayer is key and just around the corner.

Firing real missile objects and using ATFLIR was considered impossible in FSX not so long ago, until a dedicated team took the task of creating it.

Now in closed beta

Wrong. It DOES have FLIR. Already seen working videos of it from Beta Testers.
