INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for purchasing the "FA-18F add-on by COLIMATA" and therefore supporting my development work.
I invested more than 1.800 working hours in this aircraft and all the experiences from the MiG-29 project. The goal was to create a great fighter
jet for X-Plane, with very good graphics, plugin driven custom systems, good aerodynamics and a system depth that matches the requirements
for semi professional and beginner, flight simulation fighter pilots.
I'm really, really satisfied with the result and I'm confident you will be too.
The FA-18F:
The FA-18F is more than just the 2-seat version of the FA-18E. It's two seat layout enables the crew to use the equipment, aerodynamics and
power to the full potential. The FA-18F (together with E, G, C and D) are the back bone of today's American Naval flying forces.
The impressive capabilities of the "Super Hornet – Rhino" where developed in decades. In fact today's FA-18's have there roots in the legendary
F-5 Tiger. This reliable machine was the basis for the YF-17 Cobra that in further evolution became the FA-18A. Passing further years of
evolution, improvement and optimization (C,D models) the FA-18 platform reached it's actual stage. The FA-18E "Super Hornet", the FA-18F
"Rhino" and the FA-18G "Growler" for electronic warfare.
The FA-18F is now a real multirole aircraft, performing excellently in air-to-air, air-to-ground and reconnaissance missions. Having it's home base
on aircraft carriers, flying the "Super Hornet" in day and night missions can be considered one of the biggest challenges for an aviator.
Manuals / Support:
