This mod swaps the default F-18E for a collection of several different aircraft, built specifically for the 1.0.4 fallback version. It's an old reboot of the XZ-16s mod with 182 endorsements and 11,635 downloads, last updated August 2023.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the F-18E aircraft with a collection of several different aircraft.
Designed for the 1.0.4 fallback version of the game.
Reboot of the XZ-16s mod by ArmadilliestAirlines.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 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.
