Replica Request: F/A-18E (or F) Super Hornet

[RayneCloud]

I\'d really love to see if someone can put an F-18 together or not. I know I can\'t, I suck at spaceplanes.

There is nothing particularly difficult about this design except I know just looking at it that the forward edge of the wing below the cockpit is too sharp of an angle for any of the pieces of C7. I could barely make a Super Flanker.

Here\'s a F/A-18C I threw together, I\'m not going to sit there and dick around with struts to make the intakes boxy.

I\'m workin over it, seems close enough...

How\'s it fly Zom?

[zombiphylax]

Poorly, I\'m afraid. The way the weight sits below and behind the wings makes it constantly want to veer up when flying horizontally. Something like the F-16 on the other hand should be fairly stable.

[OptimusSubPrime]

is that an updated c7? where did you get the capsule and that thing in front, better yet, can you link where you got all that?

[Kryten]

is that an updated c7?

Yes, the \'experimental release.\'

Fun fact for all of yall thee F/A-18E super hornet is so advanced all the pilot has to do is look at a jet to lock onto it thanks to updated holo cockpits

Look down shoot down.

Yes, I know

[zombiphylax]

Look down shoot down.

Yes, I know

'Look down, shoot down' do not apply to holo-cockpits. LDSD is for downward looking radar that can track targets below the horizon/close to the ground compared to the radar. What he\'s talking about is fairly similar to the older Russian IR targeting systems on the Flanker and Fulcrum. The targeting system is slaved to the pilot\'s eye, and will lock onto what the pilot is focused on.

I\'ll post the craft when I get home, but it seriously flies poorly.

[H2oskiKerbal]

yes you are correct sorry i kinda forgot

[zombiphylax]

Here\'s the .craft.

You need all C7 parts, and JellyCube\'s modular missile.

[Gojira]

I have all C7 parts, and the modular missile?

And it\'s giving me a missing parts error?

[zombiphylax]

I\'m not currently at my computer, but there\'s a chance it has novapunch parts...

Edit: The only thing I can see outside of C7 (including the experimental parts) and the Modular Missile (and vanilla parts...), is Cpt. Slug\'s radial parachute. Sorry, I use them standard to stop after touchdown, I didn\'t really think about it.
