Behind the Stick of a Legend: Why the VRS Superbug is the Gold Standard in Prepard3D

If you've spent any time in the combat flight simulation community, you’ve undoubtedly heard the buzz around the VRS F/A-18E Superbug. This isn't just an aircraft model; it's widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive and high-fidelity combat simulations ever created for the Prepar3D (P3D) platform.


Developed by a small team of real-life engineers with continuous input from active and retired F/A-18 pilots, the Superbug faithfully replicates the U.S. Navy's front-line strike fighter. The level of detail is unmatched, from the most minor switch in the cockpit to the most critical flight system.

The Superbug boasts a genuine 3-axis fly-by-wire system, fully custom avionics, and a deep simulation of the AN/APG-73 radar. Everything from the fuel and hydraulic systems to the auto-throttle and custom 12-mode autopilot is meticulously modeled to NATOPS-accurate standards.


But what about the fun stuff—like dropping those GBU-10s? For full combat capability, the Superbug integrates seamlessly with the optional but highly recommended VRS TacPack Combat System. This is the key to unlocking true warfare immersion, enabling functional weapons, detailed AA/AG radar, FLIR, and electronic countermeasures, bringing the F/A-18E to its full potential as a professional-level, fully combat-capable simulator.


If you’re ready to move beyond simple flight modeling and take command of a study-level strike fighter in P3D, the VRS Superbug is the investment you need to make.
