@MaxRiga

Someone could still be working on one, they just haven't announced it yet.

@LFO

Yes, I think I can make that simple fix.

@Franze:

Found minor bug: it happen when i use the PKW jet pilot and i look the airplane from outside at a certain view distance from the plane the pilot helmet appear outside the canopy just above pilot head?

I don't know if anyone else experience the same or have already reported this bug anyway i do now.

@ mac81,

I've experienced that bug as well, it's apparantly caused by third party addons only. I believe it has been fixed if you use Beta 1.11............

Funny thing, i use TrackIR and when my friends sits on WSO place i can control his head in MP

@mac81 and @PSYCHOSIM

i have exactly the same problem with those pilots and im running 1.11 patch, so im not able to use the pilots, but still with this awesome plane im not really bothered what I look like!

@Franze, I know this is a bit cheesy, but are there plans to make it possible to use the plane as a reconnaissance asset, using the "camera/ screen" or are they not used in this manner?

[franze 196]

Re: PKW Pilots - unfortunately, that addon crashes my game, so I cannot confirm this; but helmet appearing outside of the canopy at higher detail LODs is likely an error with the pilot model, not the aircraft.

@bootneckofficer

I know the F/A-18E/F can mount a SHARPS pod, but I don't intend to model this (I don't see it used too often). It's a photography pod, not a real-time intel pod.

ah cool, no worries :P

That is because it is F-18 E and F.

From the images of the E and F you can see why the addon isn't shown as very dirty, most images reflect very careful maintinence.

Just to let you know, get your facts right before posting buddy, clearly stated that it's a superhornet not a hornet

Easy guys, it's an easy mistake to make..............

Any chance we might be getting "baby hornets" in the future, as well?

Baby hornets?

[Guest]

Baby hornets?

Yes, thats what you get when a hornet and superhornet collide mid air.

[franze 196]

Baby Hornet = legacy Hornet, aka, F/A-18A-D.

At this point in time, undecided.

Baby hornets?

Yes, thats what you get when a hornet and superhornet collide mid air.

Damn, that sounds horrible compared to intercourse.

[franze 196]

I got this rare picture of a Super Hornet mating session. Sorry, I had to block out the naughty bits (Placebo would kill me if I didn't block them out):

[xnodunitx 0]

Uh oh..thats probably gonna hurt.

On a side note, why are they blacked out in the same exact area's <.<

[oldbear 390]

Still trying to find again the feeling of my old Mac F/A-18, I have add MandoMissile script featuring countermeasure/flares to SU34.

Well, the script is working because firing an AIM9 against a SU from an AV8 start the firework, but firing an AIM9 from a F/A-18E don't and it's still the one shot, one kill story.

Could somebody explain what's wrong ?

They must be based in San Fransisco. Or even my hometown of Madison, WI.

Add the following to your init.sqf after mando_missileinit.sqf (if you use the addon just add the following to the init.sqf too):

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

Sleep 1;

mando_replace_all_missiles = true;

You will have your Su34s reacting against Sidewinders, Sparrows and AmRAAMs.

[franze 196]

If anyone has any additional comments on the XWS 1.1 test, now is the time: I'll be converting the base F/A-18E/F to that weapon system unless there are strong objections.

Which in all actuality isn't true, it's just laziness in my part. The SH's deployed can get reaaaaal dirty, and here's a "clean" VFA-211 in Dubai:

Because most creatures' genitals are located in generally the same area?
