If you look the gear doors are just closing on the gear, so it had lots of room to take off and retract the gear, haha

The AOA sensor is missing. That should immediately ground that aircraft.

Yep, last I saw, Air Force planes weren't CAT launchable.

Even if they were, it would be hard to take off with gear up.

It musta been a really fat guy on the catapult that got in the way of the pilot to make those big red splotches on the nose and tail

Come on though, whoever made this is pretty good at the computer skills....however pretty stupid about military aircraft and operations, hehe.

Hey, maybe this means when im in the air force as a pilot i can fly off of carriers!! Like the navy, but only better!

I just figured it out! It's a RC simulator true!?
1) It's only Semi Scale, as we all know F-18 are all blue and yellow right
2) The power to weight has been increased 8 fold from scale power! You can hand launch it from a hover if you can get your hand out of the exhaust fast enough.

Gear doors are open but no gear.

Must be some kind of new military technology.

It's from the new Ikarus flight sim.

There's a review of it with this pic on the RCU front page.
