* [https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/F-15E Current F-15E model from FGUK] - which now includes the Bombable mods as well as a large number of tweaks and updates to the base F-15E model that have been added since 2011.


=== Note: If the FGUK F-15E is unavailable. ===
=== Note: The original FGUK F-15E, without the Bombable mods, is no longer available. ===
If the FGUK base files are not available from FGUK or from the links above, you can try using any available F-15 variant or similar aircraft available in the FG hangar.  For example, often other FGUK aircraft will use similar file and naming conventions, making the instructions below fairly easy to follow.  Just start as instructed below, and apply similar mods as described below. Be award that exact filenames and other details may be different, however.
The mods described below were added to the base FGUK F-15E aircraft in about 2011.  Since then, FGUK has incorporated the Bombable mods in the F-15E aircraft and then continued to make further enhancements to the F-15E since that time.


You can also download the [http://brenthugh.com/flightgear/F-15E.zip F-15E model with the mods as described in this article] to see the end result of the mods, giving you a good idea of how the mod progressed.
So, unfortunately, you will not be able to download the original F-15E files and then follow the steps below to make your own modded F-15E version. 
 
Still, you can:
 
* Download the [http://brenthugh.com/flightgear/F-15E.zip F-15E model with the mods as described in this article] (2011) to see the end result of the mods, and then read the steps below to see what changes were made to arrive at the Bombable-compatible mod.
* Download the [https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/F-15E current F-15E model from FGUK], which also include the Bombable mods, and see how the mods look in a somewhat more current/updated aircraft model.
 
Either way, by looking at either of those aircraft and following the instructions below, you should be able to get good idea about how the original files were modded to become compatible with Bombable.
