Yeah the game has a great F/A-18 pit:

However no Holographic HUD as can be seen in these pics (note the level line in relation to the actual horizon), also note in the first pic that no HUD AoA indicator or water line is present even though the pilot has gear down on approach:

Here's hoping they get the flight model right :roll:

No way it'll be that long- within the next few weeks is what I've heard. The game itself has already gone gold.

The 18 looks pretty good. I'm impressed it looks as good. Usually the stock models don't look all that great. One thing that I noticed on the 18 though is that the exhaust nozzles (?) don't appear to be animated.
