No, its Vertical Reality Simulations F/A-18E for FS:

AFAIK it's one of most advanced addons for Flight Simulator series.

I don't intend to spoil the fun here, but have you asked permission to post these screen shots here?

I know for a fact that these screen shots are of the early development stage, maybe Beta 1, of this Rhino. If you would like to find out more about this F/A-18E, the website was listed in a previous post. That is where development screen shots are posted. This is a Shockwave forum.

from what i read on the site, this rino is going to rival the shockwave planes in realism, they want to fly it "by the book"

No Worrys Shockwave, You still have a loyal costomer! :D

Agreed!
It's not only the superior quality of the Shockwave aircraft that appeal to me. I think we're a like-minded band of people and I know that if Shockwave have enough love of an aircraft type to model it, then I know I'm going to like it too. For example, I would never have been interested in a MIG-15 until I read there was a Shockwave MIG in development. Now I'm looking forward to it. Same thing with the P-40, bought it, now I absolutely love it.
It won't matter how good other developers aircraft are, or how many I buy, I'll still always get the Shockwave ones and it's not even a loyalty thing.

Best regards.
John.

Not my goal to steal customers or anything here...

(I have always been a huge, huge Shockwave fan...and proud owner of most of their products...)

...but anyways, yeah, we haven't released any info on the bird for nearly a year now, and since its finally getting close to release, I thought I'd go around and show her off.

And yes, we have active duty navy pilots (who fly F18s, D'uh!) helping out with the project and constantly providing feedback. The Block 1 F/A-18E aircraft will be just like its real world counterpart.

I'm normally a devoted 'prop head' and rarely fly kerosene burners (and those I do fly tend to be 50's/60's/70's RAF ones) but that looks like one sweet plane. :wink:

I don't think we have anything against good quality aircrafts. We wouldn't allow the poor quality to pay a visit and be promoted here.

Wow that F/A-18 E looks great.I miss the days when there were a lot of PC combat flight simulator/flight simulator developers.Future Shop used to have an entire wall devoted to flight sims back in 1999 before they went bankrupt in the U.S.A. I couldn't afford to get them all.
I remember Super Hornet by Digital Integration (U.K) and Jane's F/A -18.
