I agree adding the Super Hornet would be awesome

any chance of the rhino?

@Orbis2358 Yes but that I think has a clickable cockpit, and I'm not looking for that xd

I believe they still can use some tweaks, for example the F/A-181 is unable to go supersonic at level flight at any altitude, but the design is clearly of a supersonic aircraft.
Another thing is it´s HUD using metric system instead of knots and feet.


The Gripen should also be able to fly supersonic and even reach mach 2

What do you tihnk?

@Whells Well vanilla jets lack reference data I can work based on, so I won't be making mods for them at least in near future

@Sheliz For Super Hornet I reccommend TeTeTe's Super Hornet, as it offers great realism!

Have you thought about making a rebalanced version of the vanilla jets?

It would be great if you did a REBalance of the FIR F/A-18E/F Rhino

ok thank you!

@Duke84 No, this is only for legacy hornet. If you want E and F variants I recommend TeTeTe's Super Hornet

does this work with firewill's E and F version of the f-18?

@Emu I'll take a look on that. Is that for a specific speed regime or overall?

@R8Jake That's mostly being too fast on ground. I reccomend using flaps 2 for takeoff and roate on 260km/h (or 140knots)

*correction
i feel as if the roll rate of the f18 was brought down a bit too harshly. it feels substantially more sluggish now compared to other aircraft like the f15

Having some issues with the planes taking damage on takeoff roll. Not sure what could be causing this

@WillyPete Yes sure, but for only the planes REB supports. Other planes will perform the same. Ignore addon dependency for that use.

@simpel Yep I found the bug an bugfix is now live on workshop. Thanks for the report!

Seems to be bugged atm, whenever you rearm it correctly starts rearming but then after finishing your character says "Loading weapons systems - please wait" a second time and you are unable to use any weapons other than the vulcan after that. Hopefully this gets fixed because other than that this mod is fantastic!

hey man, my group uses the Firewill all in one pack. will it work with that?

moar please. Do it with all FIR planes

This is just the mod Firewill's awesome planes need to make it a total package that just feels right.
Thanks.
Really looking forward to the f-14 and f-15! 10/10

@grizz Thanks! Evading maneuvers look REAL cool with the great use of flares! + Your vid really show how the hornet handles with this mod in turns :)

A little video I made using this mod. I think it showcases the new performance config well. Especially the slow speed, high AoA changes. As well as the after burner and HUD system changes!

So I made missions all last night flying the Hornet with this mod and I have to say... I had a huge smile on my face the whole time. The fact you were able to fix the HUD alone goes a long way. I normally run the Additional Measurements mod to counter-act the vanilla HUD so now I can get rid of that in my modset! Also the automatic engaging of the afterburner was also much needed! No more fumbling in the clunky action menu to light the wicks in the middle of a dogfight! Can't wait for you guys to release this for the other Firewill aircraft!

@Orbis2358 Hey, that's really awesome!

Looking forward to it!

@grizz_actual We're developing FIR F-16 at the moment. After that we'll proceed on to F-15, F-14, then F-15.

Congrats on launch, guys!

Hey this is awesome, any chance of doing this for other Firewill aircraft?

This looks amazing

:)
