I can only purchase one right now, so I was just wondering what F-15 to buy. I am looking for feed back from both sides. Thanks for any advise.

I think to get any answer you're looking for, what, aside from price are you seeking in the one you want to buy? Though both same airframe, both offer different things that make each one unique in it's own right. Are you looking for in depth avionics, Flyable missions, Eyecandy, Ctl-E start up, price, etc? Anyway, you will get a wide variety of replies, few unbiased so it will ultimately come down to what it is you're seeking. Also, cruise through all the threads started by both companies, to show their wares off and their attention to fixing what needs fixing. You will find many passionate viewpoints that all share a desire to have the biggest bang for the dollar.
I realize this didn't answer what you're seeking, but you asked a very vague question.

I own both (purchased both on the day of launch) - at the moment i cant stop flying the iris version as everything seems to work on it with loads of nice features. Once Milviz sorts out the important update i may feel differently.
If you loved the Aerosoft F-16 - you'll love the Iris F-15.
When you have one and see how it flies you 'll want to know how the other one works. I made plans for both and will fly both. Just waiting for FSPilotshop to get it together.

I always wanted a 15 but I'm like many I'm not going to buy every version that hits market
After the failed c27 patch and the decsion back then to leave it as is and the poor state of support on thier forums, I elected to go the milviz package
Milviz have an outstanding track record for support which reflects in thier forums, which for me was one of th main influencing factors
Besides that I find the iris models cartoon-ish in the texture front and the names of their staff members and thier mates on the side on the paints is a turn off for me, noting those concerns I show very little interest in their models
While some may disagree, that's my choice and views why I didn't go with the iris model, I've been burnt and not keen on wasting money on something I won't be happy with
The milviz bird for me is great, it has excellent frame rates, excellent textures and etc etc etc, I'm more than confident with the sp it will only go forward
Where after past experiences with iris I honestly couldnt say the same
Dedication is when you have a fresh pizza sitting in the kitchen, with your favorite show on TV...and you're at the PC filming for the video!
Im still enjoying both versions - both have plus points
I don't have the Milviz version yet but I'm enjoying the Iris version alot it's really nice and pretty easy to use, however i would say that people with lower end systems might struggle to get good frames with the Iris version at present.

I actually don't have the best rig in town and with the option of textures....it helps ALOT! Thanks IRIS for this option!
Judging by the colour coding on the missiles, the shape of the external tanks and the contours of the fwd part of the CFTs it's pretty obvious who's the best researcher. I am extremely happy with my own choice ;-)
I have both F-15E´s but the IRIS performs better on my PC.
GREETINGS TORSTEN " THUNDERBOLT "
Much obliged, kinda guessed that from the little details, sure are some differences in basic shape and form of two identical models. Either ones too short, or the other too long, I suspect in sim both are the same length but the height to length ratio on one will be different, a common problem with some drawings around the net these days. No idea which is right or wrong, if either, or both, but there is a clear difference.
Wow Michael - i never noticed as i had made one more distant than the other so i did not take much notice.
You are right - I'd say the noses are the most different.
Its not just the noses, the canopy, spine, fast pack, fins and rear end around the elevons too, I've taken your shot and rescaled the lower one to the same length as the upper one, that way the length height ratio can be seen easier, if they're both the correct length then either one is too tall or the other too slim height wise.

Thinking I like the sleeker look of the upper one but the lower is closer to real world as I compare them to actual photos on my desk top. Don't know if the actual photo is distorted. Some unbiased soul who has years on Eagle flightlines may have a better perspective seeing the duo in the sim. Did somebody work from actual construction drawings?
Jim
That's interesting. Look at the differences in the dimension from the top of the intake to the canopy rail; the size of the lower missile platform on the conformal fuel tank and the ejection seats. I guess that's one way to compare models, if you're into the visual accuracy.
Yes - the seat size sure varies
