Simviation Forums

So I have been flying the F-14 I downloaded off of Simviation for a while now.  It is the only plane that will do a catapult launch and full stop landing on the deck of a carrier in FSX that I have found with out having FD4 or some other thirdparty add on.

Does anyone know how to setup the F-18 to do that same thing?  I am really surprised nobody hasnt posted the F-18 Super Hornet with the catapult and landing capability like the F-14

all you need is a panel for it. i had one at one point that i used for carrier operations.  but i got FD4 so i dont use that panel anymore.  i'm pretty sure its on this site, look in panels in fs2004.i'll try and find the link for ya

Downloading now...I will give it a shot. thank you

unfortunately I could not get the panel from the download to work. However, the F-14 D has documentation on what changes to make to the panel.cfg and aircraft.cfg to utilize the carrier landing and take off system.  After making those changes and troubleshooting a few problems. The f-18 fully works the same way the F14 does for catapult take offs and arrestor landings.  Sonic boom and effect works to.  Pretty cool!
