A guide to the fan made mission, mods and utilities available to enhance your Jane's F-15 experience.
There have been a large number of fan made missions developed by numerous creators, uploaded to websites and then lost when those websites were no longer available. There have been far fewer mods and utilities, but those that were developed suffered a similar fate.
This guide attempts to document the available missions, mods and utilities that have uploaded to an Internet Archive repository for archival and preservation purposes.
Obtaining
The missions, mods, paint schemes and utilities can be found in the Internet Archive at Jane's F-15 patch collection.

Mods
Modification Engine For Jane's F-15
Unofficially named 'B61 nuke mod', this mod added the B61 tactical nuclear weapon to the F-15's loadout but also included the following (taken from a description):
You asked for it, you got it. Nukes on the F-15.
You can also put nuclear weaponry on Tu-22s and B-52s, as well as nuclear tips on cruise missiles!
As an added bonus, there's a feature to enhance the enemy SAM's in Jane's F-15, and now you can launch the sim directly.
We also include a custom mission to demonstrate the new weaponry. You and your wingman have to penetrate deep into Iran to prevent nuclear-loaded bombers from taking off.
Version 1.12 of Jane's F-15 is required.
This was created by Flying Muffin Enterprises, (known for a number of Falcon 3.0 mods) Despite being developed for v1.12F it may work with V1.17F as the additional changes in v1.17F related to D3D support and Jane's Combat Net (JCN).
The setup.exe file used by the mod install is incompatible with Win10 and can be replaced with the InstallShield 3 32-bit Generic Installer.
Paint schemes
In addition to the paint schemes provided by the Camo Commander and OPerations Control utilities the following are some additional camo schemes that have been found
4 camo schemes for Jane's F15
Created by Michael Henze, this collection of paint schemes provides the following (taken from the readme):
The camo schemes are packed into four zip files. For installation, unpack one of them into the F15 folder.
Stripes: 3 different desert colours, arranged in a striped camo pattern.
Patch1: A 'patchwork' camo scheme, 3 desert colours.
Patch2: The same patchwork camo, 2 desert colours and green.
Sandwich: Patchwork camo, 2 desert colours and green, blue belly. Note: The flaps have only one texture, so I used white/black stripes on them, but didn't like the result. Since I really like the 'bluebelly' idea, I'd like to get advice for better flap textures.
Desert F-15
A second version of the Desert F-15 scheme, created by kodiak.
F-15 Ghost Grey Camouflage
Version 1.01 of a low visibility scheme, created by Ken 'Snakebite' Boudreaux. From the readme:
Thanks for downloading my Camo scheme for Jane's F-15. This scheme was created using a paint template that was included in a Hasegawa 1/48th Scale F-15 model kit that I purchased 7 years ago. Believe it or not I still haven't built the model yet! I found it invaluable in creating the panel lines on the aircraft and also for getting the camo patterns to match on the individual templates for the F-15 within the sim. In fact, all lines on the aircraft were redrawn. I hope you enjoy it as it is one of my favorites!
Nellis tail markings
Created by Dan Waldrep, the following description is taken from the enclosed description:
This will transform the Mountain Home Squadron into the 57th wing based at Nellis Air Force Base. The MO is changed to Nellis' WA and the tiger stripe tail is changed to Nellis' black and yellow checkered stripe. These are the only modifications to the jet. Keep in mind when you change it, you have to use the Mountain Home version of the F-15 for it to work.
Utilities
GTT Camo Commander for Jane's F-15
A utility app which allows you to change your F-15 paint scheme and that of the MiG-29 to a lesser extent. Created by Game Tool Technologies (GTT). From a description:
It allows you to choose a camo scheme, see a sample texture, then apply it. Once a choice is made, you may launch F-15 straight from the user interface! Should you decide to change the texture again, or return to the native Jane's blue livery, simply choose the scheme you wish and use Camo Commander again.
Distributed as a self extracting zip archive, the F-15 installation folder should be specified when extracting the utility.
GTT Loadmaster
A utility app which, created by Game Tool Technologies (GTT), allows you to change your host loadouts for online matches. GTT's Loadmaster is a freeware application that automates that task. It allows you to choose the following air to air and air to ground loadouts:
Guns Only
4 x AIM-9 Papa
4 x AIM-9 Mike
4 x AIM-7 Sparrow
4 x AIM-120 AMRAAM
2 x AIM-9, 2 x AIM-120
2 x AGM-65, 4 x Mk. 84
Distributed as a self extracting zip archive, the F-15 installation folder should be specified when extracting the utility.
F-15 Operations Control
A utility app which allows you to change your paint scheme and afterburner effects. This is the shareware version so the additional features are not listed as it can no longer be registered. Created by James "Gunslinger" Wohlever (Techware Computer Services).
Distributed as a zip archive the contents should be extracted into the F-15 folder creating a new toc folder.
