Vertical Reality Simulations F/A-18 Superbug

The VRS F/A-18E Super Hornet, or "Superbug", is the first true 3-axis fly-by-wire combat aircraft designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The flight model is not "fly-by-wire-like", it's a dynamic, fully control-law-dependent proportional control system driving a single (ordinance independent) neutrally-statically-stable base flight model. The FBW system extends to 100% custom autopilot functions.

Crafted by a small, dedicated team of developers who also happen to be engineers in real life, the VRS F/A-18E seeks to provide what we believe is by far the most comprehensive overall simulation of ANY combat aircraft ever created for the Flight Simulator franchise. VRS has created a truly remarkable and faithful reproduction of the U.S. Navy's newest strike fighter.

Systems ranging from tactical (functioning weapons and sensors) to dedicated, custom fuel, hydraulic and ECS simulation designed [strictly] based on the U.S. Navy's NATOPS flight manuals for this aircraft. Everything from the working and accurate radar, to the early warning and navigation systems are meticulously recreated in extreme detail and fidelity.

Extensively researched visuals include a fully functional (and we mean fully functional and flyable) Virtual Cockpit including 90% 3D switches, knobs, buttons, and even individual bolts. True HUD collimation provides accurate velocity vector/flight path and targeting indication under all flight conditions. Designed with TrackIR users in mind, you'll find no equal in terms of HUD performance and accuracy. An incredible set of high resolution 2D panels (not because you need them, but because we believe in going the extra mile), and a dozen sub-panels round out the "office" of the F/A-18E. Our "intelligent" highly optimized 3D external model responds to preferences, drawing only the weapons you select for load-out with the Aircraft Configuration Manager. Thousands of weapons combinations are possible, yet only one 3D model is required.

In addition, all weight, drag and asymmetry is accounted for no matter what you load on the aircraft. When a weapon is released, it is of course fully animated, but most importantly the weight, drag, and lateral moments are accounted for accurately. Drop or fire a weapon and watch the flight dynamics change. This is MUCH more than a pretty plane; the VRS F/A-18 is serious aircraft simulation in every respect.

Nice video. Good luck beating a Mig 29 in a dogfight in RL though...

[valkyrie321]

@ThaFunkster100 why? It's been done plenty of times already in the past with other Western produced aircraft. The hornet has a better radar system, higher angle of attack prior to stalling and a better roll rate.

[valkyrie321]

@MrHeniu123 I have worked with both products. While I not only worked on F-16s in the USAF, I must say that this is by and far the most advanced simulator (this F/A-18) of a modern jet ever created for the MSFS series to date. Period.

[leonelp51]

@valkyrie321 a mig 29A of course hehehe :P

[tlwhite0311]

One thing I have been waiting to see is more G induced effects on aircraft. Wing vibration/ fog coming off the leading edges and wings/ etc.

[Youre1Garbage]

The best fsx aircraft!!!!!

[valkyrie321]

@iamidiotic it has been proven over and over that American planes are quite capable when we utilize the full effect of our resources. Knife fighting still happens on rare occasions, but our K/D ratios speak well for themselves.

[iamidiotic]

@valkyrie321 it doesn't even need to knife fight really, with the JMHCS and Sidewinder-X

[squiddie96]

@ThaFunkster100 it has a sharper turning rate, a better angle of attack, and a kick-ass dogfighting system... it will eat a mig then still be hungry

[ThePrettyboyfano]

game?

[valkyrie321]

@ThaFunkster100 the F/A-18E has one of the higher angle of attack capabilities. With that said, the Rhino was never made for knife fighting. It's best asset is it's BVR. Its radar can even determine the type of plane it is encountering simply by the blades on the engines. If an F/A-18E finds itself in a knife fight, it can hold it's own, but generally speaking something went horribly wrong. Also remember, this is a promotional video FOR the F/A-18 Superbug, what do you expect?

[ThaFunkster100]

@squiddie96 Not in close combat though

[squiddie96]

@ThaFunkster100 F/A-18 is far better than the mig 29.

@jameslikeinnit i know this comment is 6 months old but I had to respond. If you haven't figured everything out yet, you could skim through the 400 page manual and/or watch the multiple tutorials on youtube

[valkyrie321]

@PhatPorcupine sure, go ahead. If you can please credit VRS or myself, Jaggyroad Films.

[PhatPorcupine]

would you mind if i used some screenshots of this for an intro please? , just of the first 10 seconds?

[valkyrie321]

@drake123josh up to you. The only disadvantage is you cannot make posts on the support forum, however you can view topics and still send inquiries to support should you have issues.

[drake123josh]

i found this plane in stores for 29.99 CAD its 44 CAD online should i get it?

[Grimreeper102]

@farmboy623 Wow you're a cockhead.... worth our time???? Not Really... Your spelling is fucking 'rediculous'

[valkyrie321]

@farmboy623 WOW, the equivalent is like $20,000 or more? REALLY? Don't be so melodramatic.

This was in development for 3 years. If you don't like it, see if you can still find a copy at Best Buy.

[farmboy623]

Wow. A fucking airplane... it like 50 bucks!?!?!? Really???? That's fucking rediculous.

[leftysg18]

sick video

[FSGeek45]

@SilverS21995 In my case, on the FSX Icon, Right click and then select Run as administrator, this should work!!!

[PhotographerJan]

Smashing video, what a amazing addon.

How do you take off an aircraft carrier
