Thanks for the kind words. I wasn't able to find any images online showing the side number as you described. Would you have any by chance? I'd be reluctant to add anything without a visual reference to work off of.

I will get you pics of the aircraft tonight when I go to work. I will get them straight from the VX-31 pictures we have on our servers (public affairs approved of course..LOL)
I will get you pictures of a Super Hornet that you could make too.
Update: Pictures sent :-)

Just went through the full download -> extraction -> drag and drop process to double check it worked for me and it did. Can you try again and if it doesn't work let me know exactly what the issue is.

I downloaded, extracted, copied the file in the Community folder.
Do I need to copy the whole folder or just the subfolders ???

Ugh, sorry. I made a mistake in the aircraft.cfg which meant that it wouldn't work alongside my Jolly Rogers skin. I have fixed it now if you download the most recent version. Sorry for the mix up and thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks for the paint scheme. Is there any way to replace the civilian pilot with a military one?

Fantastic job. There is only one slight problem with this paint job. It's not on an F/A-18E. The actual aircraft it is on is an F/A-18C which isn't a Super Hornet, it on what we call a baby Hornet. I know it really doesn't matter lol. Just figured I'd let you know.
P.S. If you want you can put 101 as a side number as that is the side number of the actual aircraft. It would go on the outboard corners of the Trailing Edge Flaps (the flap section of the wing that doesn't fold)
