F/A-18E Super Hornet with 15 Skins

---

Hi there, and I appreciate you taking the time to download my work!

- https://gulfknights.net

What’s included in this package:

F/A-18E Super Hornet with 15 skins.

Here are the enhancements I've made to the beta in 3ds Max:

- New ejection seat.
- New pilot model.
- New refueling probe.
- New towed decoy.
- New AoA was added to the front landing gear, corresponding with the cockpit AoA.
- Included pilot ladder and engine cover, and removed 'remove before flight' tags.
- Implemented 2 LODs: 001, 002, 003, and 004.
- New BRU-55 dual bomb rack.
- New LAU-127 Rail, LAU-115C Rail, LAU-115C+2 Rail, LAU-117 Rail, and LAU-118A Rail.
- New fuel tank.
- 15 skins for the Super Hornet.
- Canopy can be opened with: Shift+9.
- Wingfold function: Shift+7.
- For air refueling, use: Shift+6.
- To deploy the towed decoy: Shift+5.

All files come with the necessary Strike Fighters 2 Series game file (.LOD) and textures. (These have been tested and only work for SF2.)

Installation instructions:

Just copy the files to their respective folders.

If you're adding to the SoundList (and need to include the WAV sound), go to the Flight directory and update the XXX to the right number. For example:

[SoundList]  
SoundFileXXX=Rafale_Flaps

[Rafale_Flaps]  
Priority=NORMAL  
3DSound=FALSE  
FrequencyControl=TRUE  
NumBuffers=1  
Looped=TRUE

- ravenclaw_007 for designing all the impressive weapons.
- Coupi for adjusting the hitbox, adding the refueling probe visibility from the cockpit, and reworking some cockpit data and screenshots.
- Compufat for developing the Kuwait skin, fuel tank skin, decals, and testing the model.
