• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Has anyone ever tweaked the MDL file for the KBT F/A-18E, F and EA-18G?
Those planes are definitely "diamonds in the rough" but they could use a little work to make them re-paint friendly. :wiggle:


Here's some quick edits you can make for the landing gear:

This will make the gear compress more accurately while stickling the tires slightly below ground level. I also adjusted the "track" of the gear so its harder to roll the plane over when you taxi. :encouragement:
 
Almost done, just needs some of the scratching adjusting.

Do like the donation F100 :encouragement:, DaveQ did some great FSX repaints that can be converted back to 9, there's a bit of renaming involved and you need to be handy with DXTbmp, but it can be done
