General Information
This is a port of the F/A-18E/F that was originally made for Operation Flashpoint. It has some new features and modifications but is essentially the same core aircraft that was presented in Flashpoint. As such, this readme is a rehash of the original readme presented with some corrections and additions. The addon is ina BETA state and may not be fully functional or completely bug-free.
This package represents two F/A-18 airframes:
F/A-18E Super Hornet
F/A-18F Super Hornet
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is the Navy's primary multirole fighter currently in service. It was designed as a potential successor to the F/A-18C/D Hornet, with improvements in range and payload. While the F/A-18A-C was to replace light strike aircraft such as the A-7 Corsair II, the F/A-18E/F was to serve as a heavy fighter capable of taking over roles left behind by the A-6 and F-14. It featured greater range, increased payload, and enhanced attack capabilities over legacy Hornets, coupled with being on the front of engineering and design.
A highly unpopular design with Grumman aircraft fans (even more so since the retirement of the F-14), the F/A-18E/F is often criticized as being too slow, too short ranged, and too complex. But in an era of budget cuts and dwindling defense procurement, the F/A-18E/F is the best solution to hold the line until more advanced aircraft are brought to operational status.

- Modified wreck scripting: aircraft no longer deleted. Deleting aircraft caused performance issues.
