Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Low-rate production began in early 1997 with full-rate production starting in September 1997, after the merger of McDonnell Douglas and Boeing the previous month. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 2001, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006; the Super Hornet serves alongside the original Hornet. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which has operated the F/A-18A as its main fighter since 1984, ordered the F/A-18F in 2007 to replace its aging General Dynamics F-111C fleet. RAAF Super Hornets entered service in December 2010.

Updates Notes

15/04/2020 :


Major modifications :
  • Elevator control is now achieved through a return to equilibrium system using logic gates from the modpack. This will strongly improve the Pitch control
Minor modifications :
  • Rudders moving parts were removed to improve the flying control and reduce potential contact bugs
  • Ailerons surfaces were extended to give a faster roll control
  • Some minor color changes

18/05/2020 :

Initial version uploaded back. The modpack features that were used in the 15/04 version does not work anymore so I had to replace it with the old system.

10/06/2020 :

ModPack has been fixed, pitch control now includes a return to equilibrium, using the smart motor

Hi everyone, I just noticed this creation reached 10k subscriber ! That's outstanding, I never though it would have get up there. Big thanks to you ! :steamhappy:

Hi HockeyFamily, sorry for the late answer. I actually don't see how this could be used as a part of a whole new creation ? If you are planning on uploading a carrier/base or airport I'm okay with it being used on presentation pictures or videos for a display purpose. But on the other hand, I would like this not to be in the uploaded creation. Thank for the understanding :) !

Hi everyone, some of you noticed an issue with the pitch control. After some research, I found out the modpack is no longer working on current scrap mechanic version (see https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=881254777 ). Durf, modpack creator, says a correction will come but it will take some time. As a result, I'm uploading the old control version without the return to equilibrium feature.
I hope the problem will be fixed soon and I'll let you know if there is any improvement !

hey bro i like your plane and i checked your ligature, and i found that looks like the connection between the elevator and the W and S disapper , i guess thats the problem pls forget about the spelling mistakes my english sucks :p

Okay so apparently, the modpack -which is used to make the pitch W-S control- doesn't work properly with versions 0.4.* so we unfortunatly need to wait until this get fixed before having it controlable
