What became of the Super Hornet?

[Erich Alfred Hartmann]

Hi guys, a simple question, what happened to the Cortex Designs super hornet? that super hornet looked amazing

someone knows?

It got cancelled and Cortex Design was removed from DCS. Must have been ~5 years ago or so.

It is a shame, because that module had an incredible look, it would be necessary to wait for another company to make the super hornet or VRS to give way to DCS

Hmm, since we have the Hornet I don't have much of a need for a Super Hornet anymore. The practical differences between them (more endurance, more modern displays) don't really make that much of a difference for the purpose of DCS.

2 extra hard points.

Well, for you it may be worth, but I prefer the super hornet on a personal basis, because it is my favorite plane and that of many people, I suppose that the tastes of others are totally respectable, I support that someone make the super hornet or that VRS make the jump to DCS, what the hell, I'm looking forward to a quality super hornet for DCS

I agree, in some ways I feel they took the hornet design and shoe horned it into the role it now performs.

 

I personally have always preferred the legacy hornet.

Skatezilla has the F in development, and there is the Growler being worked on by another also.

 

‘about 2 weeks.

For what it's worth, the Legacy Hornet took the YF-17 and shoehorned it into an operational fighter. Like the Super Hornet they couldn't deviate from the original visual design too much, for many of the same decisions, so they made oddball design choices. Orr Kelly's Hornet Inside Story of the F/A-18 (recommended reading) essentially says they designed a totally new plane that looked like the YF-17 and pointed out the odd landing gear design as a point of evidence.

The current Growler mod isn't anything more than a re-skinned F/A-18C the last time I have seen posts about the development of it.

True, but they've updated it to the Digital UFC and with the White DDI mod, a pretty decent facsimile.

Yes this is true

Stated to be a stand-alone mod, this in reply to a question as to if it will use the -18C pit, or its own.
