UPDATE
---------
*****REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo*****
Hello!
It has been a long time since I done anything with the F/A-18 and I would like to say thanks to all of you who have taken interest in this project. This version has been sitting on my shelf for too long and I thought I would release it. It is not 100% complete, but many of the previous issues have been fixed (at least I hope they are). I know some of you will find issues and make them known. I will try to iron them out as they come, but I cannot guarantee fixing them in a timely manner.
All of the textures have been redone by my homeboy Pharohx.. he did an awesome job!
To avoid problems.... PLEASE delete any older versions of mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo
