I know this game is very old by now but I started to miss the game so much, and now I have some questions (hopefully there are still people reading this forum and this thread)

1, Is it possible to make F-15 work satisfying in Windows 10? It does run on Win 10 but only at 800x600 (at least I think it is that resolution) the window with airframes, loadouts and crews etc is blacked out totally.

2, After moving around a lot documents are bound to get lost and that has happen here both the Expert Keycard and Casual Keycard is missing (probably lost in one of my moves) is it possible to find the expert keycard somewhere or someone her still have it and can scan it and mail it to me or put it up on the net. My own googleing hasn't turn up anything except the Casual keycard and both manuals but not the Expert Keycard

3, I can't get the throttle to work. Without Joystick throttle work fine but you can't fly the plane without joystick (I haven't found any key the let you use X and Y axel (descend/climb). With joystick elevators/elevon is operabel with joystick but not throtttle which make it impossible to fly due to no throttle at all.

Hi Fenix,
I love this sim, and have been playing it since 98 smile
Currently I have it installed on Win 10 x64. I'm using a specialized software (DxWnd) which makes it run without campaign crashing and without the menu distortion.



Get the software from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/?source=updater

For the key cards look here:

I tried DxWnd and when I went to a training mission, the screen was full of lines and not readable. The only thing that I did was run it as Adm and in the game app, I unchecked all the compatibility settings per the readme file.

Is there anything else that you did? Did you run any Glide programs and have any Glide issues? I have not tried to set up my controller yet, but can you have multiple controllers set up or is it like LB2 that you can only have one controller set up?

I also noticed that in the exports folder, there was nothing for the F15, but there was one for the F18 "Janes FA18.dwx"

Sorry sobe, I wrote a hurried reply. Yes I'm using nglide. That is the best glide emulator for win10. For controller I have Thrustmaster Warthog and I use its builtin software (Target) to bind the two controllers (joystick and Throttle) into one DX capable controller, only then its is recognized in the sim. If you want I can layout detailed steps on what I did to run this gem again.

No problem and thanks for the offer. Yes, I would appreciate a more detailed step by step explanation. I too have the TM Warthog and I would appreciate if you would send me your target profile to look at.

What version of NGlide are you using and what parameters are you using for it?

What changes did you make in DxWnd?

I actually found my original disk, manual and key card for this game. I recently got LB2 and Tank Platoon 2 to work.

If you want to discuss on teamspeak, let me know

Step 1
nGlide:
Download and install stable version of nglide (I'm running 1.05) from: nGlide


Step 2
Janes F-15:

1 Install from cd without checking any compatibility for the installer
2 Select a short install path, and don't install on "C" partition
3 Do full install complex install
4 Do not select to place a shortcut on the desktop, of done automatically delete the shortcut.
5 Install F15d3d17 patch.
6 Go to movies directory within the F-15 install directory and delete everything, or except for these files:

IR.WVE
IR_L.WVE
IR_T.WVE
IR_W.WVE
JANES.WVE
OP.WVE
SH.WVE
ST.WVE
ST_L.WVE
ST_T.WVE
ST_W.WVE

Movie files within the menu like animation running under single or training mission selector ruin the text and button layout. The movies which you can leave safely as in the above list are ones which play independently like Intro videos or campaign movies and middle cut scenes.

7 (OPTIONAL)
Enable the female wingman voice:

NOTE! Edit the F-15 registry at your own risk! If you screw something up there, you will have to uninstall and reinstall...the below is NOT supported by tech support!
Copy "regit.exe" from F-15 CD to install directory.
Run the program "regit.exe"

Click on "ADD".

In the "value" field type "women" (all lower case, and without the quotes)

In the data field type "1" (the number one, no quotes).

Click on OK.

Close regit.exe. That's it!

What you've done is enabled wingman eight, which is our female voice. So how do you determine who will get the female voice? If you look at your aircrew list under the summary, every eighth wingman slot will have a female voice


Step 3
DxWnd:

1 Download latest version of Dxwnd from DxWnd
2 Unzip to a place of choice and then select to "run as Administrator"
3 Copy my F-15 DxWnd profile and save as F-15.dxw to "exports" directory under DxWnd unzipped directory (//DxWnd/exports/)
4 Click file and hit import then select exports directory and search and select my f-15 profile file
5 The profile will show in the main window. Right click the profile and select modify
6 Change the install path according to your install. Don't change anything else.
7 Press OK to save the profile
8 The profile will be green lit-up showing DxWnd can reach the intended executable
9 Double click on the profile to launch JANES F-15


Launch a quick mission and see if things run good for you.

For dual controllers, copy my profile and save to F-15 root directory as F-15.fcf . Launch Target and browse to the profile and select it. Always run it before launching Janes F-15

Interesting issue. When I run Dxwnd with just these lines

"title0=Janes F15
path0=D:\F15\F15.exe"


the game runs although the graphics are a little weird. However, when I run your export I get a error message
Debug Assertion Failed
Program D\f15\f15.exe
File: C:\src\wrapper\basewnd.cpp
Line 415
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

I am given 3 choices with this error message and when I hit ignore, everything seems to work and the graphics are good.
I tried to find C:\src\wrapper\basewnd.cpp but I could not do so. Maybe it is a hidden file.

UPDATE: THE ABOVE IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE. I FORGOT TO DO THE PATCH: 5 Install F15d3d17 patch.

I tried the fcf file, but there were no events listed in the GUI target program. Did you program any buttons? If so, could you send me a print out from the GUI target program of your profile.

I also added aqit.cfg and ddraw.dll as recommended on this forum. Don't know if it helped or not.

I found this old Cougar profile for the game so I will try to duplicate for the warthog.

Hey Doggie, I just tried your profile in dxwnd and it works great for F-15 under Win 10 for me. I have one issue though - the music stops playing in the menu after few seconds. I had the same issue back when I was running it under Win XP but setting the compatibility for the exe to Windows 98 fixed that. Any idea how to fix it now?

I've been tinkering with the dxwnd profile and I was able to get the music working fine. On the Compat. tab if you set "Set single core process affinity" or "Set last core affinity" you will limit the application to use one core (first or last) and the music will be fixed but you will probably get choppy sound at the beginning of each mission. To fix that tick "Block process priority class" and you should be fine. Now it works almost perfectly on Win 10 YAY!

I am trying to get back into F15 and have the disks, manual and the keys for casual but I cannot find my keycard for expert. Do you have the card with the list of commands?

Hey sobe, I just checked my english first release of Jane's F-15 and there is no expert reference card (I bought it used some time ago, probably was lost or it was absent in first release?). I have another polish release of the game which contains that card. If you like I can take o photo of it but since it is in polish it probably wont help you much. However you can always check the key bindings (and also change them if you like) in options screen somwhere under controls.

The docs from replacementdocs have only casual key guide. Expert keys are scattered all around the manual.

Thanks for the offer, but I found some old files for some old TM sticks that appear to have most of the expert keys

Thank you so much for the instructions Doggie. I have been trying for so long to get this to work. It runs really well with no issues. So pleased. Just one thing. I am using your file for Target. It works with the joystick but the throttle doesn't seem to work. I don't know if that's even part of the profile?

Hi Muley,
Sorry for the late reply. As this is an old sim, which doesn't recognize dual inputs, so you will have to use TARGET GUI. Let me know if that helps. Otherwise I'll send you my setup for warthog.

Hi Doggie,

Thanks for getting back to me. If you could send me your Warthog stuff that will be much appreciated.

Step 2
Janes F-15:

1 Install from cd without checking any compatibility for the installer
2 Select a short install path, and don't install on "C" partition
3 Do full install complex install
4 Do not select to place a shortcut on the desktop, of done automatically delete the shortcut.
5 Install F15d3d17 patch.
6 Go to movies directory within the F-15 install directory and delete everything, or except for these files:

IR.WVE
IR_L.WVE
IR_T.WVE
IR_W.WVE
JANES.WVE
OP.WVE
SH.WVE
ST.WVE
ST_L.WVE
ST_T.WVE
ST_W.WVE

Movie files within the menu like animation running under single or training mission selector ruin the text and button layout. The movies which you can leave safely as in the above list are ones which play independently like Intro videos or campaign movies and middle cut scenes.

7 (OPTIONAL)
Enable the female wingman voice:

NOTE! Edit the F-15 registry at your own risk! If you screw something up there, you will have to uninstall and reinstall...the below is NOT supported by tech support!
Copy "regit.exe" from F-15 CD to install directory.
Run the program "regit.exe"

Click on "ADD".

In the "value" field type "women" (all lower case, and without the quotes)

In the data field type "1" (the number one, no quotes).

Click on OK.

Close regit.exe. That's it!

What you've done is enabled wingman eight, which is our female voice. So how do you determine who will get the female voice? If you look at your aircrew list under the summary, every eighth wingman slot will have a female voice


Step 3
DxWnd:

1 Download latest version of Dxwnd from DxWnd
2 Unzip to a place of choice and then select to "run as Administrator"
3 Copy my F-15 DxWnd profile and save as F-15.dxw to "exports" directory under DxWnd unzipped directory (//DxWnd/exports/)
4 Click file and hit import then select exports directory and search and select my f-15 profile file
5 The profile will show in the main window. Right click the profile and select modify
6 Change the install path according to your install. Don't change anything else.
7 Press OK to save the profile
8 The profile will be green lit-up showing DxWnd can reach the intended executable
9 Double click on the profile to launch JANES F-15


Launch a quick mission and see if things run good for you.

For dual controllers, copy my profile and save to F-15 root directory as F-15.fcf . Launch Target and browse to the profile and select it. Always run it before launching Janes F-15

I've been trying to install JF-15 on Windows 10 but haven't had much luck so far. I followed these direction but have run into two problems:

Every time I try to install the d3d17 patch I get a message saying F15 not found; please make sure F-15 is installed. I tried moving my install directory around between different drives. including the default C:/Janes/F15, but get the same message every time.

Also, when trying to run the program in spite of the patch problem, I get a bunch of error messages starting with airdb.bat- File not found as well as a few other key files. I do have the disk in which has these files on it. I am using dxwnd with your profile as well as nglide.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

I figured it out! I think the thing that was messing me up was that I was trying to use a version of the 1.17 patch that self-installed and just wasn’t working for whatever reason, but I tried the patch stored at the patches-scrolls website and was successful. Menus are a disaster as others have reported but the main game is totally playable.

Thank you Doggie!

I got Jane's F-15 running just fine in Windows8.1 with your tips.
I had some problem at first with the exterior and the 3d cockpit(f4) view with the view rotating rapidly but i was able to fix
it by installing Nglide instead of the an old version of "GlideWrapper" that worked well in WindowsXP but not anymore on
modern system.
