[size=1.5]
[size=1.5]

[size=1.5]Yes, you read that right. We have our first fighter jet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the F/A-18 for you and damn it’s nice. Soar through the skies with what feels like an unlimited amount of thrust in your throttle. This is truly a monumental moment for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 as the FA-18 has been longed for by the community even prior to the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The creator has understandably chosen to stay anonymous but has nevertheless given us the go ahead to share their wonderful achievement with you all. But there are some issues we need to make clear:
If you want a perfect F/A-18, we don’t have one for you yet.
  • [size=1.5]This is not a perfect study level F/A-18
  • [size=1.5]The HUD and the MFDs do not work, but the gauges do.
  • [size=1.5]The engines can't be manually started so you have to spawn either in the air or on the runway
    • [size=1.5]The gear is up by default no matter where you spawn so you'll have to slew out of the ground first if you choose the latter

  • [size=1.5]The afterburner don’t work so it's permanently baked into the engines, increasing thrust produced by each of the two to 17750 lbf compared to the dry thrust of 11000 lbf.
  • [size=1.5]It's wobbly at very high speeds of around 800 knots (it might be more stable with the legacy flight model however).
  • [size=1.5]The plane works better under the Legacy Flight Model rather than the modern setting

[size=1.5]We hope some of these limitations with this F/A-18 will be inspiration for all the plane creators out there to improve upon its design, and use it as a jumping off point to create even more great planes for the community.

Anon has also given us a battleship and a Range Rover (weird words to type, but yes, a Battleship, and a Range Rover) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Check back later for these.





How to Install this Plane
  • Simply download the zip/rar by clicking the black button below and extract it to the community folder.

    • Make sure you install in the following format: /community/addon_folder/addon_files, and not /community/addon_folder/addon_folder/addon_files
  • Alternatively you can use ModManFX (click here)

Finding the community folder:
  • If you have installed the MSFS contents in a custom folder, go in to that folder, and simply drag and drop the folder "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into your Microsoft Flight Simulator "Community" folder
  • If you have bought it from the Microsoft Store Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then go to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into the Community folder
  • If you have the game through Gamepass Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then go to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into the Community folder
  • If you bought the game on Steam... Go to %appdata% (search using windows search), then Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\ and place "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into the Community folder
    • Alternate Steam Method (If Above Does Not Work)... Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then got to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into the Community folder
    • Alternate Steam Method (If Above Does Not Work)... Go to YOUR_STEAM_LOCATION\steamapps\common\ and place "aw-airport-ensd-anda" into the Community folder
