Last week the modelling pack was released by Arma 3 so we are starting to see new vehicles and troops via the community. Here is a quick look at the Super Hornet Fighter Super Hornet Fighter http://goo.gl/L9zHL0 INTRODUCTION The Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is a twin-engine carrier-based multi-role fighter aircraft variant based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18 E single-seat and F/A-18 F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18 C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm gun and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system. PROLOGUE For quite a while I have been working on F/A-18 add-on so it can be used in ARMA game engines. When I started to work on Franze's F/A-18 my main goal was to make look like the vanilla in game aircraft, so they share the same ammo, look similarly textured when put next to each other and use/share same functions that ArmA offers. During last year I have found a friend and a talented 3D artist assisting me on this project - Saul, also Franze mentoring me thru the development process helped to shape this add-on to a stage where we are now with fully working ArmA 2 and ArmA 3 versions. This is the point where Saul is taking over project lead on ArmA 3 version, and I'll focus on development of these bad boys to a next stage. John Spartan Only in the past few months have I worked with John on the F-18 and I have to say every minute of my free time was worth it. It's been rough rebuilding the aircraft from the ground up but our goal is to create the best aircraft available for the community. John is a talented scripter and modder and I look forward to working with him in the future.

You have a better voice then Morgan freeman
-
If this were a real video, would you film at 6pm? Idtso
-
when i donwload it, should i join servers that contain this add-on, or i can find it in shops? (store)
-
I have advice for this mode. Download USS Nimitz aircraft carrier with this addon, you can have like the thing that catch plane.... "Ropecatcher" :D and there is catapult also II highly recommend to download both.
-
I presume someone has already informed you that you were confused about the afterburner? That may be why you felt it had too much power, but I think you figured that out part way :) two other little tidbits, what you thought was the refueling arm at the end of the video is actually the tail-hook for carrier landings, and the refueling probe is actually in the nose, you can see it come up at 8:48 right in front of the cockpit. However as you said not about your skills or knowledge just a demo which you did well, I don't expect everyone to know all about everything :) just thought I would let you know, but everyone below has actually pointed that out so ignore me
-
what do you use to record your voice
-
It sounds like the arma 2 a-10 for some reason. lol
-
The f-18 has the folding wings for extra space on aircraft carriers as in the top left corner it has tail hook up and down options now we just need a custom carrier for the tail hook to work :) happy flying.
-
i must be tired, i read arma 3 super HORNY fighter looool XD
-
You did not know that the tail hook is what they use to catch the wire when they land on a carrier.

A few tips / improvements next time.
No disrespect just some productive criticism.
Regarding weapons systems, learn what youre talking about first,
you misspronounce the weapons multiple times and just fire them at the ground, starting with the aim-120's AMRAAM, (Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile) meaning its AA not meant to be shot at the ground so try plonking a jet and locking onto it, much more informative and interesting to watch.
Next the AGM-65 aka Mavericks, they are AG (Air to Ground) meaning they lock onto ground vehicles, so all in all regarding the weapons just put some vehicles left and right to lock onto and hit.
The GBU-12's (LGB: Laser Guided Bomb) or as you called them the G3U LGB's,
which are actually only used when a Signaller or ground unit has a "Laser Designator" to Paint targets for the Pilot To Hit,
The Fuel of the 480 gallon tank can indeed be dropped and you shouldve as the fuel had already been used up, this can be seen in the top left marked as "External Fuel" and they are represented as Bars, one bar is one fuel tank and Using afterburner uses up the fuel quite drastically.
Last but not least the Refueling Probe you attempted to show after you just took off did extend, its at the front just infront of the cockpit, Not the Tailhook at the rear which you pointed out at the end, im guessing you know this by now but even so.... its used for short landings on LPD's such as an aircraft carrier, as they "Hook" onto a "Wire" to stop the plane.
And once again, just saying this to be clear, I AM NOT SLACKING YOUR VID!!!
(I actually quite enjoy them :3) its just some productive critisism :D
Anyways, if you have anymore questions regarding ARMA and you dont know too much about, just msg me and ill be more than happy to write up something you can use/read off of in your next vid to be a little more informative to people who dont know anything about whatever youre talking about.
Peace and good luck in the Future!!

Holy shit, Nice mic!
-
Its a hornet , not a superhornet.
-
Just saying, it said collision lights, not console lights. Collision lights are the lights at your wingtips, underneath and so on.
-
This is awsome. I love that with Arma we have still got a hardcore simulation while most games are quite arcady.
-
Hmm... the thing you pointed to at the rear is the tailhook, or arrestor hook, as used for catching wires during carrier landings. The refuelling probe is the nozzle that pops up from the nose and enables you to suck juice from tanker aircraft, or other hornets fitted with a refuelling rig...

FAB as usual, Thanks.

What microphone do you have, Tactical Advance?
