About the FBW system

This system uses very scientific calculation methods, which are in line with scientific formulas within certain limits, So if the operation is correct, this control has great maneuverability and adjustability

Programmer's letter

My Friend,
This calculation program has some difficulties for people who have no experience in production, but I overcome the difficulties to implement this program, which makes me very happy. When you finish making this program, look back, you will find that this thing is actually logical. But this production process is really full of ups and downs. I hope you can value my efforts in this procedure.

INTRO

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) and Northrop (now part of Northrop Grumman), the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations, and since 1986, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.

The F/A-18 was designed to be a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a wide variety of weapons. The aircraft can perform fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.

    yet another amazing looking plane with a terrible flight model... seriously if you put so much effort into making it look amazing, surely you could install a good flight system?

    I have an Alienware R17 and it has slight difficulty running this at a decent framerate WOW! It is really an amazing build, the afterburners look really sick.
