Acceleration F-18 too plain, any tweaks out there?

[Flame-Prop]

I really love the F-18 and even more now that I have the TSS sound pack for it which brings it to life. But something really disappointing me about is is that it dose not have some payload options. I wish you could some payload options, fuel tanks only, missiles only or mixed. At the momment the F-18 feels bare, empty and plain. Does anyone know anything about any "tweaks" out there? Just image how solid it would look like you have reall power in your hands.

Here's a nice F18 rigged, so this would be with fuel tanks

There's an "unofficial" forum at the FS Dreamteam site. May have something you're looking for?

Hi Gabe,

Visible / realistic payload isn't something you can simulate in the default FA-18. However, you could try the Mother of all tweaks on the F-18... The VRS Superbug

If it's a freeware update to the default FSX FA-18 you need then you won't do better than the superb 'Sludge Hornet' updates. This includes a whole refit of the FA-18 that gives a massive improvement within the boundaries of the default model.

Last, there's always the F/A -18D made by Captain Sim [please note it's in their appropriately named 'Fun Line Product'] lol. Say no more...

Did I mention the VRS Superbug?

Good luck with the tweaking!

Dave.

I really liked the Sludge Hornet, but it dose not have fuel tank attachments or any missiles

If it isn't built into the model, it can't be done. This isn't Strike Fighters or Falcon 4.

if you want a Nice F18 Look at Super bug:salute:

The VRS F-18 is one of the very best aircraft models out there.

For freeware, the only alternative is the FS9-format F-18 Super Hornet by FS-KBT. It has weapons, even though you can't fire them of course. The virtual cockpit is nowhere as nice as the default F-18 one, and nothing is clickable inside, but that's the only freeware SuperBug around.

There is not Much Better then the Superbug in FSX Thats the Only F18 I Use if your looking for a F18 Pick One up you can find it at Bestbuy or online :salute:

Slightly off topic but are there any RAAF repaints of the Sludge F-18?

As the Sludge Hornet is just a modified version of the default Acceleration Hornet, any repaint for the default Acceleration Hornet should also work on the Sludge Hornet.

Ok cheers..I will give that a go
