- The Asobo version is renamed to YF-17 Northrop for ASOBO
- The Touchingcloud Super Warrior version is YF-17 Northrop for Touchingcloud
Disclaimer :
This livery is for the in game F/A-18 Super Hornet.
The shape of the two is quite different, this is the best I can do to re-create the legendary Cobra.
History of YF-17 Cobra:
Northrop developed the YF-17 in competing with the YF-16 for the LWF project. YF-17 was not chosen.
However later Navy found YF-17 is a good replacement for the old F-14, but Navy never adpoted the aircraft from the vendor with no experience in the Navy contract, so Northrop was forced to work with MD for developing the YF-17 to be F/A-18.
But it was a trick, Northlop lost the business and the business was given to MD. (Later MD combined with Boeing, so the F/A-18E was made by Boeing)
Northrop learnt the lession, later they acquired Grumman in order to prevent the business risk.
Installation guide :
Unzip and put the two unzipped folders into your Community folder.

You need to read the manual of the Touchingcloud's F/A-18 Super Warrior in order know how to show the fuel tank. If my memory serves me right, at the runway, you move the cursor to the middle up of the screen, click on the fuel loading, you will see the dialogue of fuel and external tanks, slide the bars of them and they will show up.

Great livery & thanks for making it compatible with the Super Warrior mod & it's new fuel tanks update. Wish others would follow suit.
Edit - I have just noticed the right side of the TouchingCloud version is painted the default grey & not your livery though.
