V1.1 Update Detail
The updated package contains much improved textures for my previous Top Gun Maverick F/A-18E repaints. Two versions are included; one for the default Asobo version (F/A-18E Top Gun Maverick (Asobo)) and one for the Super Warrior Mod (F/A-18E Top Gun Maverick). Update Features:
1) Improved textures from 2k to 4k/8k where required
2) Added improved F-5 and Su-57 silhouettes (Maverick killed 2x Su-57s and therefore the update)
3) Fuel Tank texture update - This one is difficult simply due to the layout of the file but I have tried my best
4) Overall texture improvement to the F/A-18 body compared to default Asobo F/A-18
You can use one or both based on your preference.
As always, Go Navy!
Instructions:
Drop one or both of the included folders into your community folder depending on if you want to use for Asobo F/A-18E or Touchingcloud Super Warrior.
To make this work with the new Super Warrior mod jet:
Open the aircraft.cfg file ...
Look under [VARIATION] -
change
base_container = "..\Asobo_FA18E" to base_container = "..\Asobo_FA18E_SW"

I think it is safe to assume that we have all seen Top Gun and most of us are fans (though the movie's realism is very questionable). Neverthless, I was sorely disappointed after hearing the delay of the movie but more importantly, the delay of the Top Gun Maverick package for MSFS.
We may have to wait on MSFS Carrier (with hopefully more realistic carrier ops), but we don't have to wait for the livery.
Here is the recreation of TOP GUN 2 - Maverick paint scheme depicted in the movie.
Luckily, I did not have to repaint the pilot as that has already been created by twoseventyinc and available on flightsim.to
https://flightsim.to/file/23690/f-18-service-buddies-pilot-character-mod
My paint scheme and the the Maverick Helment/Flight suit package work well together, although I do intend to do some tweaks to the flight suit to make it close to real life (patches; etc).
As always, Go Navy!
Instructions:
Just drop the folder "Top Gun Movie Rhino" into your community folder.
Superbe, merci beaucoup pour votre excellent travail !!!

Great update. Sadly, I have not been able to watch the film because the region where I live has not yet imported the film from North America.

I am not sure why your comment got a thumbs down, some people are just clowns. Either way, sorry I gave a spoiler by adding the Su-57. Watch it when you have a chance, it's super entertaining as long as you go in knowing it's a movie and not a documentary. Have a good one.

Cockpit texture is pink.. How to fix?

Not sure what you're doing but works perfectly fine for me. Delete the old one and re-download it.

Loved this livery since you released it & just recently saw your instructions to convert it to the Super Warrior. It was incredibly easy, but there is a minor problem. Touching Cloud's version shows the 3 drop tanks by default in the hanger view, but the Microsoft version does not. This makes the tanks show up with the pink & purple pattern of a missing texture. Is there a way to overcome this? Is this simply a screw up in the hanger view only that corrects itself in game once you set the fuel on board?

You should get the latest version of the Touching Cloud Super Warrior, copy all the tanks related files into the texture folder and recompile using the touching cloud legacy importer. Now the pink fuel tanks will actually show the correct color.

Is there no way to apply this livery to F/A 18 Warrior mode?

Thank you for this one! Please look at the requested paints for the F/A-18. I posted a couple as I am a veteran that was stationed at NAS Lemoore CA. My squadron was VFA-94. Would love to see that in the sim as well as the Tophatters.

Dillon, yes I saw it. I will be doing the mighty shrikes over the next week. No word on Tophatters but I have done a tophatters livery for the F-14.

Nice livery, thank you so much.
I have the f-18-service-buddies-pilot-character-mod already in the Community folder but from the external view, there is no pilot
If I remove the f-18-service-buddies-pilot-character-mod, I have the default ones
Any advices ? Thank you

I have no issues with this - Did you go into MISC and Pick PETE as a pilot instead of default? You have to do that manually.
