Aircraft Carrier and suitable F-18 version

ApfelFlieger · January 25, 2025 at 9:27 PM

For the FS 4, there is now the possibility to try out takeoffs and landings on an aircraft carrier with an adapted F-18:

Aircraft Carrier: https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index.php?entry/1516
F-18 Carrier: https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index.php?entry/1567

Missions to practice correct take-offs and landings will follow.

I hope this could get added to mobile (not with mods).

I think that at some point the jets will be revised. However, I realistically consider the number of jet flyers to be only a small user group, so that from my point of view it is also possible to primarily develop the things that benefit a larger user group.

Thanks ApfelFlieger... a wonderful piece of work. Took me a few goes to successfully launch and recover. Difficult enough to be a challenge but not so difficult as to be frustrating...just fun. Thanks for your hard work and for generously sharing it with us.

I have added the flight routes for take-off and landings CASE I in Flight-Sim.org, CASE II and CASE III will follow:

I plan to create missions for this as well, but here there is still one or the other difficulty "at sea".

Matt, how did you get the air-to-air weapons to show on the F-18 carrier version?

I tried to explain how to do it here...

<a href="[Released] Loadout Options Pack 1 for Aerofly FS4 F18 Hornet">[Released] Loadout Options Pack 1 for Aerofly FS4 F18 Hornet</a>

The components are there, already supplied by IPACS in the F18 folder... it just needs the option.tmc editing to include them for the repaints you want.
