F/A18E/F Super Hornets block 1 and BLock 2 E/F ( lot 26)

To bad I can only fly one at a time, lol.... Joke.

Or the Growler!!!

Wayyy too classified, as incredible as that kind of module would be.

The awesome engine air intakes already look so cool, that's reason enough to vote "yes". But preferably by a 3rd party studio so that ED can focus on other modules and on improving multiplayer (better netcode for carrier operations)

Rhinoooo

Considering ED seems focused on the years of 2005-2007, an earlier block Super Hornet would be a great addition. It's a shame we'll never see the latest blocks since in addition to all the new systems, the latest Rhino's are getting refitted with the upgraded GE F414s that add an extra 4,000 pounds of thrust per engine.

In 2014 Coretex Design almost finish SuperHornet, but project dead, dont know why. :cry:

I hope some day, I flying F/A-18F(NOT E) in the commercial flight simulation.

"Almost Finished" is a bit of an exaggeration

Oh you tease!

Shut up and take my money.

(Please don’t shut up...show/talk more...and then also take my money. I’ll buy like 10 of these, I promise).

Wow, looks great! Would be nice to get it into the sim as an AI unit at least.

skatezilla? The 2 seats super hornet its will be a reality ins DCS some day, i would buy it !

Let's pray for the F/A-18F Lot 26! In addition to the expanded capabilities of the Rhino compared to the Legacy Hornet, we need more combat capable two-seaters in DCS! They're so much fun and makes training new pilots so much easier.

What lot Super Hornets was chosen as a basis for the AI version that you are involved with developing?

+1 build it, first day buy.

First day buy for me also, no question.

I would absolutely positively love a Foxtrot Rhino..I'd buy it on the first day and then three more times for friends!

Wait a minute is this the abandoned F/A-18E Super Hornet project? Or is this some kind of ED project in closed testing?

A pre-AESA E model Super Hornet would certainly be within the realm of possibility for Eagle Dynamics as systems wise they are very similar to an F/A-18C Lot 20 model. For reference I am talking about a Block I Super Hornet, they share 90% commonality with an F/A-18C Lot 20 Hornet systems wise.

Dear ED..

With so many systems similarities with the Chuck and Rhino - i would hope that it would be fairly easy to produce a Rhino.

Now, what block? It would NOT be possible to replicate the APG-79AESA on the block II, and perhaps some other gadgets.

I don't think we need to be confined to an early block 1, because of that though.

What Im proposing is a "Hybrid" (which deviates from EDs established practice of simulating a specific block - even Lot. This "Hybrid" could give us all the Block II features we *can have - like Colour LCD DDIs etc and retain features like radar (APG-73) that were with lot 21, Block I.

EDIT - Proposal is for a LOT25 Rhino - Pre AESA, with the new displays etc. PERFECT.

This way - we can get the most realistic MODERN Rhino available, and it CAN represent a specific fleet bu no. (at a specific point in time).

As much as id love an "F" model, the additional programming would be astronomical - I frankly can't imagine 2 crew functioning well with so many shared controls. Id rather take the "E" .

ED- with Topgun Maverick around the corner - I can imaging piquing the interest of a wider audience - by announcing/releasing a Rhino around the same time. Without doubt - it would twitch the privates of a LOT of DCS users, being a more modern, more capable version of something that has become a DCS staple.

With the upcoming "Super Carrier" module - having additional naval modules would leverage of that development effort.

So how about it ED? Is a Rhino on the cards?

Cheers and love,

Dave

I wouldn't buy it, the 18C is fat enough already for me but I would support its appearance for DCS

Even though I have the F/A-18C, I would gladly purchase a F/A-18E.

Happy Simming,

Monnie

ED F/A-18E (Block I) Super Hornet.

With the advent of Top Gun 2 and the huge "fanbase" it will create, I think it would be a super smart idea (and business move) to create a Block I Super Hornet for DCS on ED's part and draw that audience in. A Block I Rhino basically has 90% of systems from the legacy Hornet with some small aircraft and weapon system differences. It would really be minimal effort for maximum profit and I do think most people would appreciate one. Just throwing it out there.

If the aircraft is 90% same as legacy hornet, why would one buy it?

Because it's a friggin Rhino? More fuel, more bringback, more alpha, bigger. Top Gun 2.
