Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet

For FS2004

Presented by Team FS KBT
************************************************************************
Thank you downloading.

The 2nd release of F/A-18 series. F/A-18F and EA-18G by Team FS KBT.
The new models are based on the flight dynamics of the "E" type with revised polygons
to increase the frame rate.
The main feature of this model is the fact that from the Super Hornet, mid-air
refueling is available with the animation of the fuel hose extending from the
main body tank and you can experience the inflight refueling in the multi-player
environment.
The "G" type is equipped with the jamming pod (ECM-Electronic Counter Measures) and
this is not in service yet but you can test fly this bird first hand! Both models
have animated head movement of the rear pilot and when you switch to the chase camera
view, it makes you think that "Aircraft carries humans, even though we pilot them".
The repaint models of this two F/A-18F are the Diamond Bucks CAG stationed at Atsugi
NAF and Black Aces that is stationed at NAS Leemore Base and flies in cooperation
with the USS Nimitz, EA-18G is from the Star Warriors.


How to install

Unzip the file and place the folders inside the FS9 aircraft folder and you
are ready to go.

The data of a sound and a panel is read in the "E" type. Therefore, our F/A-18E super Hornet is required.





Difference between the F/A-18E (regarding the model)


About the model


This model is made using FSDS2 and has been tested to work flawlessly in
the
FS9 environment. Increasing the frame rate was one of our concept,
therefore
you can experience the increased FR when you fly this model.


About the Animation


To increase the frame rate of this model, we have abolished the Canopy
OPEN/CLOSE
animation. This reduced unneccessary polygons and made the cockpit lighter
when
viewed from the chase camera.

Inflight refuel tank : (F type only)
Though this is not an animation, we have added a retractable
refuel hose.
To use this feature, at ALT 10,000 - 25,000 press "L" to turn off the
lights and then press
the Panel Light inside the VC to activate the refuel hose(other switches
can be ON or OFF).


About the flight dynamics


We have used the same flight dynamics of the updated "E" type supported by
Mr.Bart.


About the panel, gauges

We have used the same panel and gauges of the updated "E" version.
Throttle panel is a
collaboration work between Water-Toshi / Daisuke.
