F/A-18 Hornet Blue Angel
Yeah the blue is way too dark, I see that now.
I'm sure it isn't too much of a hassle to change it after download :/
So I could be one of those guys who tries to give you an informational about the planes history and function, let you really get to know the plane you're flying! Well I could but then there's me being a lazy ass so that's not happening.
RIP EMBED
This started as what i thought would be a quick finish up of an old wip that I posted a couple months ago, but then i had to redo the body of the plane so it was actually in proportion...and then the wings..and then they uhh..enture plane.
I did add some new things though!:
•Custom control surface's
•Open detailed interior cockpit
•text and emblems
•Smoke trails!
And at this point it isn't really the same plane
CONTROLS

AG-2

RIP EMBED
Plane fly's but suffers from some wobble and isn't as maneuverable as I wanted it to be, this is because I made this with the idea in mind that I'd fix flight after it was built that i would fix the flying after it was built.
I couldn't properly do that since changing performance would mean everything would have to be dismantled. Lesson learned and next time I try I can create a plane with better performance. :)
here's hoping this one does better than the old W.I.P weeeeee

Yes he clarified that he just chose a random number but a way I can see it is that they traded the 2 and 1 seaters and switched the numbers because you can do that.
ok so a little advice on the aircraft I loved it but it wasn't very accurate. Blue angel 7 is actually a twin seat F-18 Overall the aircraft is good
@Destroyerz117 yea
@Sukhoijetfanonehundred yeah it's very old lol, there's a lot I could do better
my only disappointment is the elevators :///
Ok@Destroyerz117
@14FanFlight I just picked the number at random
Also why is the number 7 on the aircraft? The Blue Angels number 7 has 2 seats but numbers 1-6 have only 1 seat. Just asking.
The F/A-18 is a multi role fighter made in 1978 but not introduced until 1983. The United States Navy’s Blue Angels, who were founded in 1946 after Word War 2, acquired their F/A-18 in 1986. These frontline fighters were used until 2020. In 2021 (aka this year) they will transition to Super Hornets.
The blue isn’t too dark from the pics
@Destroyerz117 ok thanks
@MrShenanigans sure, go for it
Is it okay if i use the navy logo on my plane?
Oh my gosh. I'm so sad rn that I can't download this plane. My phone can only handle 300 parts. If it has an ejection seat then I'm definitely upvoting!!
@FreeRangedLemon ngl I just threw on a random number
It gets weirder the longer you look.
@Destroyerz117
@Awsomur haha thanks man
I made this profile pic way back, its great since you usually don't notice how weird it is until you take a second look
Your profile picture is a work of art. Also, nice plane.
Well if that's a thing @Destroyerz117 I need to learn it I still use all the games stuff
If I'm going to be honest I actually had no idea custom landing gear was a big thing, last time I played Fuselage wings and custom cockpits were the one thing you had to do @CursedFlames
It looks amazing, though it's pretty rare to see a build this detailed use the game's landing gear!
Yeah it is way to dark, wasn't as apparent to me on my pc where the colours are washed out
Lovely job!
made a version with a realistic paint color @Destroyerz117
Sorry for uploading again, had some things that needed to be changed
