Another Jane's USAF pilot flying again, Yeah ! Great you got it working, André. I just fired up Jane's F15 to check if there was a solution for this thrust adjustment you mentioned, but so far it seems to me you can't adjust your thrust via the keyboard when you're using a throttle. Technically there's an F15KEYS.INI file in the main folder that you can edit, but I'm not really convinced it will make a lot of difference. When I want to get more precise updates on my actual speed I usually select 'HUD DATA' on the UFC and then activate the % thrust indications so I can display it on the HUD. I know it's a little bit unrealistic because, to my knowledge, the real F-15E doesn't offer this option but it allows me to have a more precise control over my speed. I find it really useful during critical maneuvers such as air refueling and landing (especially the latter). Over and Out, And... Happy new year 2014 to all of you !!! Andromedius.

Confirmed! Jane's F15 works with Windows 8.1.
I was running Windows7 on a MacbookAir with Bootcamp, and had Falcon4BMS + FacetrackNoIR and my PS3 camera perfectly setup, but no luck on F15. Then after reading and re-reading this post I realized it worked with Windows 8.1 and had to do a sacrifice. I formated my W7 and put W8.1, on first loging I installed Jane's F15+Patch , when I go to boot it says : " Windows Needs to install this feature to run this software: DIRECTPLAY" So I clicked yes, and the game launched, in a perfect way that I've haven't seen since 1998. !!!!! !!!!! Now hopefully I can finish my IRAQ campaign, which goes in hand to the "FLYING THE F15 IN THE GULF WAR" book. thank you for your never giving up, this is clearly the definitive method evolving from my Crtl-Alt-Del trick ! These were my Steps, I didn't required any additional config than just click "next" and "finish" on the installers: *Install Windows 8.1 *Install Jane's F15 *Patch Jane's F15 to latest version *Install zeckensack's glide (it crashes to desktop with nGlide) *Launch Jane's F15 from default shortcut in desktop *Click YES for install Directplay *Bomb the hell out of IRAQ Simple steps anyone can do. Pay attention to the Glide, as the nGlide CTD on the 3DFX splash screen. The Zeckensack's GlideWrapper doesn't have a 3DFx splash screen but who cares the game runs smooth.

To all of you now flying USAF again,
Are any of you flying online multiplayer? I used to years ago and enjoyed it. However, not many people did as most had modded the game in one way or another.
If my memory serves me right, eveyone had to be flying exactly to same version (we flew the stock patched version with a few stock user created missions added), and no one could be behind a router excepting the host.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone flying coop multiplayer missions about their set up.
Thanks
Dragon

The only thing I could not get working was the mission builder(the app crashes). Any ideas on how to make it work?

Pay attention to the Glide, as the nGlide CTD on the 3DFX splash screen. The Zeckensack's GlideWrapper doesn't have a 3DFx splash screen but who cares the game runs smooth. Great News and great instructions ! Regarding the Glide emulation issue, it should also be noted that you can uncheck the 3dfx splash screen in the Nglide configurator, thus preventing it from showing up and crashing the game. But, as long as it gets the job done, it is entierely up to you to choose the glidewrapper you want to use with the game (I guess there probably are some interesting comparisons to be drawn between the various glidewrappers in terms of rendering quality with Jane's F-15 and USAF but I didn't get time to do some testing myself.) Over and Out, Andromedius.

I'm stoked with this news as I've just ventured into this thread for the first time after literally raiding ebay this last week and bagged myself mint copies of:
Team Apache Janes Longbow 1 + Flashpoint Korea mission pack Janes Longbow 2 Janes F-15 Janes ATF DID F22 DI F/A-18E Super Hornet Novalogic F22 Raptor
I'll be honest and say that most of this is pure nostalgia as a collector and I didn't expect to be playing them. I got Team Apache working on my Windows 8.1 64 rig and have been having a blast with that the last few nights, I will be putting the others to the test aswell, if I can't get them working on Windows 8 I'll follow the instructions in the thread on my Windows 7 rig and see what I can get up and running.
As primarily a big fan of the Helos, what's the best fast mover out of that lot? I should also say that I'm still actively looking for Janes F/A-18 and Janes USAF to complete my target collection.
Hey, Nostalgia is the new 'chic'. Nothing wrong with going back to the roots, especially when it comes to such awesome sims. Flyboy's site is amazing and sums up about the best intel about Helos Sims from the golden age : http://digitality.comyr.com/flyboy/And if you really want some awesome hardcore helo sim, you can't go wrong with Longbow 2. Here are some useful links for getting it working under modern OS : http://digitality.comyr.com/flyboy/lb2/You'll also get some links to patches via the SimHQ boards : http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2894891/Longbow_2_Windows_Vista_7_Fix_.html#Post2894891It's currently working under Seven 64, so chances are it should be okay with Windows 8, but you'll have to test it. Hope that helps. Over and out, Andromedius.

One of the best ever. Truly overlooked. I bought it packaged with Falcon 3, IIRC, back in the day. ... yes, flying again. But, to be honest, mainly for one reason... to simulate flying and fighting in the F-4 Phantom II. Thats why I still have a another sim classic at my HDD - and run it near daily with passion: Flight of the intruder ;-) Every time firing this up its a true burner

Hey man,
and all the others...
Thank you!
After years, 10+ years Im flying the MudHen again. I've been waiting and waiting for the F-15E in DCS,but it seems it will take mucch more longer. But no game has the same immersion that Jane's game have.
Thanks again,
and happy hunting!
