✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Offers multiple different aircraft in one mod, not just a single reskin.
- 182 endorsements show the community digs the aircraft selection.
- Works on 1.0.4 fallback version, so it's useful for players still on that patch.
⚠️ Cons
- Only compatible with 1.0.4 fallback version — not for players on current patches.
- Replaces the F-18E entirely, so you can't have both the original and the modded aircraft at the same time.
For players still on the 1.0.4 fallback version who want a variety of aircraft to replace the F-18E. For those who like swapping the default jet for different looks without multiple separate mods. Skip if you've updated past 1.0.4 or want to keep the original F-18E.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make a copy of the original F-18E files before replacing them so you can restore the default jet if needed.
- Confirm your game is running the 1.0.4 fallback version; this mod won't work on other patches.
- If the mod includes multiple aircraft files, install only one at a time to test which variant you like best.
