Pitch=Pitch
Yaw=Yaw
Brake=Wheel brakes and air brakes
VTOL Down=Flaps Down
AG 1=Wing Fold
AG 2=Tail Hook
AG 3=Drop Drop Tank
Intro
The F/A-18E Super Hornet is an advanced variant of the F-18 Hornet made by McDonnell Douglas. McDonnell Douglas initially rolled out the F/A-18E in 1995 until they merged with Boeing in 1997 and it became the Boeing F/A-18E.
Info
The F/A-18E improved on the design of the F-18 in many ways: increasing wing area, improving pilot awareness, increasing engine power and increasing the payload capacity. Also it got the iconic wing snags and different, in wing root air brakes.

My Version
I focused on the livery and shape in this build. I did make the landing gear realistic in shape, but sadly no doors. I made three types of custom missiles:
4x AIM-7 Sparrow
2x AIM-9 Sidewinder
2x AGM-65 Maverick
VFA-103
The VFA-103 Jolly Rogers are a fighter squadron aboard the USS Abraham Lincholn. They are one of the most famous fighter squadrons and are even featured in a few movies. They are also my favorite squadron.

Im aware of the issue with the wings, but at the time of making this there was no way to fix it (i still dont think there is). And the autoroll is annoying sorry i dont know how to fix it
Ok i have some issues with this its an amazing aircraft but there are some issues i found 1. The wing is seperated in parts the first part of the wing is conncted to the body of the aircraft and then the second part is connected to a rotor that gives us the ability to fold the wings but the part that folds in actually breaks apart and explodes the whole plane while going full power and doing any pitch maneuvers 2. the plane has a weird roll to the right in the air and a weird turn to the right on the ground like every f18 for this game i dont know why pls try to fix these issues because this aircraft is very good thank you have a nice day/night

Everything's ok and with pretty good livery.
But the cockpit shape is a bit weird.

While I believe skill and experience is a huge part of it, it all comes down to time and effort. I put a lot of time into this to get each detail right. Another thing is just going the extra mile. I didn't need custom missiles, but it made it better didn't it? I think anyone can make a quality build if they spend the time on it.
Thanks @Notaleopard

Thx
@POTETOZ
Thank you!
@Mustang51
Damn! This looks so good! The one small thing is that the LERX is too large and goes up too far the nose. If that was a little smaller, this would be perfect
Thank you
