Boeing will provide MHI with the ground support equipment, technical documents and retrofit drawings required for the upgrade of the first two F-15Js to the Japan Super Interceptor (F-15JSI) configuration.

The upgrades will introduce new active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars, digital electronic warfare and weapon systems to the F-15J. It will also receive an advanced cockpit system and mission computer, which will provide greater situational awareness to Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) pilots.

.. . .

Upgrade work is scheduled to begin in 2022, with 98 aircraft expected to undergo the process. In the meantime, MHI will develop a modification plan and prepare its workforce and facilities prior to accepting its first fighters.

      View File F-15EX Eagle II Mod for DCS World (Updated)
      The F-15EX is the latest development of the F-15E Strike Eagle.  It features modernized avionics, radar, weapons systems, and new engines packed inside a 20,000 flight hour airframe.  Fly-by-wire flight controls enable payloads on stations 1 and 9 (previously unused), allowing the F-15EX to carry up to 12 air to air missiles, though AMBER racks could theoretically increase this to 20.
      Unfortunately I can only include one livery with this mod due to file size limitations.  The others are available on the User Files as well as in a separate livery pack here:
      https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/n5qtz5axtph4xo5yautzo/F-15EX-Fictional-ANG-Liveries_123_194.7z?rlkey=fruyzwjm9580b9e1tffcog5z8&dl=0
      Version 2.0 comes with the custom cockpit from @musolo, as well as the AIM-260A JATM and support for currenthill's AIM-174B missile mod.  It is otherwise very similar to the previous release Version 1.8.7.
      Installation: Just extract the .7z file and drop it into Saved Games/DCS/mods/aircraft (or Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/mods/aircraft depending on which version you have).   This mod has been tested with DCS 2.9 as of 11/10/22.
