F A-18X Hyperhornet MKII - User Variant

Auto Credit Based on ToeTips's F/A-18X Hyperhornet MKII

I love ToeTip’s F-18 Hyperhornet but there are some things that didn’t quite fit my tastes so I edited his creation to compensate for that. The changes are as follows: Increased size of weapon bays so you can add custom weapons, added USAF roundel logo on wing, made the “NAVY” stamp more true to it’s real life predecessors, balanced gun (stronger than original), cockpit interior and exterior recolored for aesthetic appeal, better looking pylons, removed tiny pylons on side as I seen no real purpose for them. Note: If you add custom weapons be sure to edit funky trees and rename the AIM-260 and AIM-9X input to the weapon’s name you’re going to use.

[Future Editing Plans]
- Match weight to original version
- Add a ground targeting system
- Add demo loadout (optional preset)
- Add Stealth Variant
- Edit drag points to increase performance
- Add some QOL tweaks to make it more user friendly.
- Add nametag for users
