JustFlight, known for their aircraft for X-Plane 11 and Prepar3D, has been recently working together with DC Designs on their rendition of F/A-18 E, F & G.
The aircraft has been announced to be out soon on JustFlights Facebook page. When I was going through the JustFlights website, I found out that is already available to buy and download. The Super Hornet (F/A-18) first flew in 1995, with full production beginning two years later and the aircraft entering service with the United States Navy in 2001. The Super Hornet replaced the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fleet defence and strike roles after the Tomcat retired in 2006. The aircraft has many features, like an accurate model to its real equivalent, truly virtual 3D cockpit featuring accurate controls and detailed texturing, animated front and rear pilots and much more. Also, this aircraft is compatible with all ESP platforms (FSX to P3D v4). You can see some features down below, and the full feature list will be linked down into the article.
Features
- Accurately modelled F/A-18E, F and E/A-18G Super Hornets, built using extensive research materials
- Numerous external animations including canopy, crew ladder, launch bar, wing-fold, tail hook and control surfaces modelled to mimic the Super Hornet’s ‘active’ fly-by-wire systems. Custom animated afterburner flames and sonic shockwave effects
- Animated, configurable front and rear pilots in the virtual cockpit, access steps and carrier deck tie-down chains
- Bump and specular mapping used throughout the aircraft to produce a truly 3D feel
- Authentic night lighting, including user-operated ‘slime lights’ for darkened-deck and combat operations
- Designed for competitive frame rates on all systems
You can see more on the JustFlight website. The aircraft is available for €33.75.
