Boeing FA-18E Super Hornet (Remastered)

3,012 Cutters127  2.4 years ago

This is an updated version of the one I made before (which was crap and all). I simply updated the fly-by-wire system, which makes it more stable during cruise flight and air combat maneuvering and also updated the engines to give it another extra pounds of thrust.

The Same Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Folding Wings
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brake
AG5 = Jettison Fuel Tanks
AG6 = Drop Those Tax Payer Funded Weapons Systems
AG7 = Retract The Catapult Launch Bar
AG8 = Master Arm and Activate AOA Limiter
VTOL Down = Locks the control surfaces into position
Trim = For Trim Controls
Landing Gear = Gears and Cockpit Raiser
Brake = Aerodynamic Deflection Rudders (I found out that this is also useful to make tighter turns in a dogfight)
