FastCargo 412 Posted July 16, 2007 My copy was bought at release in 1998, the original readme is dated March 15, 1998, with the last patch dated November 20, 1998. My box looks like this: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/jane...-f-15/cover-art There was a special 'officer's edition' released, but contained no new code, just new stuff in the box. My version is the US version, maybe yours is something different (another country perhaps). There MAY have been a 'CD-ROM Classics' edition released a few years later...but again, no new code!

FastCargo i just ran my copy and there's no load up screen like the one you posted (which is the one i'm looking for) also the gameplay graphics etc are TOTALLY different... i'm sure it was released after 2000 and the copy i had was bought here in florida.

FastCargo 412 Posted July 16, 2007 My version was for Win95/98. I bought it 9 years ago. Also, you realize that the loading screen you see appears for only a fraction of a second on a modern WinXP computer. Can you post a screenshot of the one you have? That might give people a better idea. FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viperfalcon 0 Posted July 17, 2007 fast cargo, this is the load up screen i have on my copy of janes f-15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viperfalcon 0 Posted July 17, 2007 here are more of the screen shots from my copy of janes f-15 which isnt anywhere close to the one i was looking for which has fastcargo screen shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted July 17, 2007 I think you're confusing "menu screens" with "loading screens." The one FC posted is what showed up when you clicked "fly" before you got into the cockpit. The ones you've posted are all menu shots from stuff you do BEFORE clicking fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted July 17, 2007 Also, check your X:/"Janes F-15 directory"/Wrapper directory. Look for 5 files with the name LOAD_*.PCX where * is a different letter. Open one of them...bet you find your loading screen there in various colors. Do you have any screenshots in game from your current install of Janes F-15? If so, post them up and I'll tell ya right away if it's the same copy I have. FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platinum Rogue 48 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) They ALL look like screens from the version of Jane's F-15 I have too. Pity it doesn't run on XP though. I only keep it for it's donor elements to JF18 TSH. Take a look here and see which, if any, jog your memory: http://www.migman.com/1997_combat.htm http://www.migman.com/1998_combat.htm http://www.migman.com/1999_combat.htm Some great memories there Edited July 17, 2007 by Platinum Rogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatta mean it doesn't run on WinXP! :) I've got it running just fine...at 1280 by 960 resolution no less (in Glidewrapper)! Just re-installed it a couple of days ago to help viperfalcon. Runs just fine...looks a little old...but smooth as can be. FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platinum Rogue 48 Posted July 17, 2007 OK, well then it's a pity it doesn't run on MY PC lol. When I click 'fly' it brings up a windows message box filled with some Asian script then CTD's. I need a glidewrapper then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted July 17, 2007 Yes, specifically I've been using Glidewrapper 0.84c. Also, make sure you patch F-15 up to 1.17f (Novemeber 1998 patch). Works like a champ! And, if you get hi res to work...it can look like this (just took this a few minutes ago in the virtual cockpit view). FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FastCargo i couldnt get a screen shot of the actual gameplay but its definitely not the sim i had before that shows the load up screen that fastcargo showed above...unless its a different version. i dunno if there are different versions of janes f-15 but mine seems to be the oldest (released in 1998) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FastCargo hey fastcargo...the above shot is the same one i have in my gameplay but its not even close to the much better detail i had in the sim i'm looking for. the sim i'm looking for has soooo much better graphics that i'm guessing its a much later version than the one released in '98....where would i be able to go today to upgrade the version i have to see if its the one i had before ? i know the one i had before had the load up screen shown before with the female crew chief but my version doesnt have a load up screen after clicking on "fly", it just pops to the next screen.

Platinum Rogue 48 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) So, we've established that Viperfalcon was thinking of JF15 in his original thread, although he prefers to believe it was released less than 9 years ago As far as I can make out, the only sims released since 2000 featuring any kind of F-15 out of the box are LOMAC and WOE. But there's no Strike Eagle in those. And no Middle East theatre. Could you be mixing up your aircraft here, VF? The only recent sim set in the middle east that I can think of is F-18 Precision Strike Fighter, which I was told was re-hashed old Graphsim's Hornet 3.0. Might it also be possible that you were flying JF-18 with the TSH mod, in the JF15 middle-east theatre? Edited July 18, 2007 by Platinum Rogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
